Just a few hours out from launch, Respawn has updated their blog to detail everything coming to Apex Legends. Eclipse is set to introduce a new Legend, a new map, and new features like gifting to players. Catalyst is a brand-new defensive Legend that thrives in scenarios where positions need to be fortified. Set to play out on the new map, Eclipse will send the Apex Games to Cleo. As Catalyst’s home world, the Legend has a vested interest in the games. Aside from gameplay changes, players now have access to new cosmetics. Stickers are a fresh set of cosmetics that can be applied to healing items.

What’s new in Apex Legends Season 15 Catalyst?
New Legend: Catalyst
As a teenager on Boreas, Tressa Crystal Smith and her coven of friends prayed for and by the light of their broken moon. But fate brought her up to it when she ran away at fifteen to join a terraforming crew working to rebuild the moon. She took to the work, feeling a connection between her work with ferrofluid and the rituals of her past. But the unwelcome arrival of the Apex Games brought her peaceful life to an end. Now she joins the Games as Catalyst, a Legend determined to bring change and defend her home. She can use her ferrofluid to reinforce doors, form piercing spikes, and obscure the playing field with high ferrofluid walls. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and by the time her opponents make the call? It’ll be far too late.
PASSIVE: Barricade
Reinforce doors, strengthening them and locking them to enemies’ spaces where doors have been destroyed can also be reinforced.
TACTICAL: Piercing Spikes
Throw out a patch of Ferrofluid which turns into spikes when enemies are near. Catalyst remains immune to enemy spikes.
ULTIMATE: Dark Veil
Raise a permeable wall of Ferrofluid. Enemies who walk through it will be slowed and partially blinded for a brief time.
New map: Broken Moon
The Legends are dropping onto not only a Broken Moon, but a divided one. Explore the beauty and serenity of the Eternal Gardens and Bionomics, or venture to the moon’s dark side and visit marred, industrial locales like The Perpetual Core and Breaker Wharf. Grapple, climb, or use jump stations to access new Zip Rails and traverse the jagged terrain. Built for locals to quickly navigate the slopes and chasms of Cleo, they’re just the thing for Legends in a hurry.
Map Rotation
The following maps will be available for public matchmaking in the Battle Royale mode:
- Broken Moon
- Olympus
- World’s Edge
Gifting
Whether you’re introducing a new friend to Apex Legends or welcoming back an old one, you don’t just want to catch them up on the story. Share the freshest Apex style with other players via the new Gifting system, which allows you to purchase bundles and cosmetic items in the Store tab for your in-game friends.
Stickers
Stickers are a brand new cosmetic we’re introducing this season that lets players equip stickers to healing items! Whether you are regen-ing your shields or healing with a syringe you can now do it in style! All players will get the Shattered and Deathbox stickers for free when Eclipse launches. Players can also unlock 20 new Epic Stickers for a limited time from the Sticker Pack Series 001 available in the Special Stores Tab 11/1/22 – 11/22/22 only and not available in the general loot pool. Things you can apply stickers to:
