Apex Legends – Overflow Patch Notes | Overflow: The Ultimate Lane-Focused Arena Map!

Introduction

Introducing the latest addition to the Arena map lineup: Overflow! Prepare to navigate a treacherous landscape filled with lava and strategic opportunities. Unlike other maps, Overflow is designed with distinct lanes, separated by towering lava-filled structures. This means players must stay on high alert, as early decisions made by the opposing team may remain hidden until the last moment, potentially leading to unexpected flanking maneuvers. While long-range combat is possible, the action on Overflow tends to favor short-to-medium range encounters, particularly around the two key points of interest: Overlook and Slope. Overlook offers a sprawling, open area with a central interior that grants a significant height advantage. Snipers and DMR enthusiasts will find this spot particularly enticing, but it's crucial to control both the area and the flank by holding the interior. On the other hand, Slope provides a unique opportunity for players to slide down to a remote part of the map, offering a sneaky flank route or a defensive setup that catches opponents off guard. Get ready to test your skills and adapt to the fiery challenges of Overflow!

NEW ARENAS MAP: OVERFLOW

The floor is lava! Well, some of it, anyway. Overflow differs from other Arena maps by being lane focused; where each location is separated by tall, lava-filled structures. With this separation, players cannot easily spot early decisions made by the other team and will need to stay vigilant before committing to a side or risk being flanked. While there are opportunities for long-range engagements, combat tends to favor short-to-medium ranges along either POI: Overlook or Slope.
Overlook is a long, open area with a central interior that gives a height advantage over this POI. While this area is perfect for snipers or DMRs, players may want to hold the interior to control not only this area but their flank as well. Slope, as the name implies, offers both a high ground and a unique area where players can slide down to a remote part of the map. This area can be used for sneaky flanks or defensive setups where players may not expect it. Overflow feels pretty different from our other maps, and our hope is that it will feel rewarding for both defensive and aggressive players alike. Let us know what you think!
