APEX LEGENDS™ MOBILEHYPERBEAT PATCH NOTES
Greetings Legends and welcome to the new Apex Legends Mobile Season : Hyperbeat!
Welcome to Hyperbeat! In this update, Crypto enters the Apex Games, a brand new ranked split begins, new events kick off and some of our core systems have been updated! Hyperbeat Kicks off on August 23rd at 5:00 PM PDT so let's jump into it!
Crypto specializes in secrets. A brilliant hacker and encryption expert, he uses aerial drones to spy on his opponents in the Apex Arena without being seen. He also has a secret of his own: his name is Tae Joon Park, and he joined the Apex Games to find the people who framed him for murder. An orphan abandoned at a young age, Tae Joon escaped a life of squalor by becoming a computer engineer for the Mercenary Syndicate, along with his foster sister, Mila Alexander. One day, Tae Joon and Mila stumbled upon an algorithm that could predict the result of any Apex Games match, hidden away in the Games’ own computer systems. That caught the attention of the wrong people - the next day, Mila disappeared, and Tae Joon was forced to into hiding after he was framed for her murder. He’s now joined the Games to clear his name - because sometimes the spotlight is the best place to hide.

STORE VAULT CHANGES
Starting during Hyperbeat we have implemented a new mechanic to increase the drop rates for Eternal cosmetic items in the Store Vault! As you continue to draw from the Store Vault, the drop rates of the Eternal cosmetic items in the pool increase up to a specified cap (as set forth in the in-game Store Vault odds disclosures). The increased drop rates will reset after you pull an Eternal cosmetic item. Thank you for your continual feedback about Apex Legends Mobile! Please see the drop rates and additional rules and disclosures in the in-game Store Vault page for further details.
