Apex Legends: Defiance Launches Next Week With A New Legend

Written by Brandon Hofer on February 03, 2022

News: Apex Legends is about to receive its 20th Legend next week with the arrival of Mad Maggie.

On February 8, a new legend is being added to Apex Legends. A cutthroat warlord and self-proclaimed freedom fighter, Mad Maggie finds herself in Apex Legends: Defiance forced into becoming the Apex Games’ newest Legend as punishment for her vicious attacks across the Outlands. Despite entering the Arena as a death sentence, Maggie looks to turn the tables on her would-be executioners and bring the games down.

Next week Mad Maggie becomes the 20th Legend with the launch of Apex Legends: Defiance, and with these abilities, it’s no use running or hiding:

Passive - Warlords Ire: Maggie can sense when there’s blood in the water. When she deals damage to her enemies, they become highlighted for a short period of time, making it easier for her to trace them. And don’t bother running: Maggie moves even faster when carrying a shotgun.

Tactical - Riot Drill: Nowhere is safe. Maggie’s Riot Drill attaches to objects and burns enemies that have taken cover on the other side, flushing them out.

Ultimate - Wrecking Ball: The embodiment of Maggie’s love of destruction, the Wrecking Ball leaves speed boosts in its wake when thrown, and explodes brutally upon enemy contact.

Apex Legends: Defiance will launch on February 8 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Origin and Steam. Check out the video that was released to accompany this announcement and then tell us what you think. Will you use this new legend when Mad Maggie arrives next week?
