APEX LEGENDS MODS FOR PC MOD

But for the current lineup of F2P battle royale games, there's no sense of what happens when the servers go dark. We've seen long-dead MMOs like Warhammer Online find new life, and even new content, thanks to fan-run projects. I truly adore Apex, and it's shown no signs of slowing down-but one day, even if it's many years from now, the servers will shut down. It's that last part, really, that excites me the most about R5Reloaded. 'But the potential I do know is that the game will continue to work even when the official servers of the live game have been permanently shut down.'

'The project was initially meant to be a simple solo Kings Canyon firing range but it turned out to be much larger and more popular then I had expected, which kind of makes me still unaware of the possible future potentials this mod has,' Amos explains. But enterprising modders have found ways to remix assets to create new arenas and modes, with new in-game building tools letting people create everything from rudimentary capture point maps to Counter-Strike-style Surf courses. There's currently no way to add entirely new assets, like new weapon/character models or entirely new map geometry. Character abilities can be remixed or remade from scratch, weapons given all kinds of new properties, and Amos even managed to create a new night version of World's Edge by tweaking fog and light properties. Alongside opening up every map up to Season 3 (including seasonal reworks and Halloween 'after dark' variations), R5R also features a clunky, if fully serviceable server browser for playing all kinds of community modes. That said, what's there is extremely impressive. Nonetheless, it was at this point that he released his work into the wild, and soon an army of collaborators jumped in to rebuild not only battle royale from the ground up, but also team deathmatch and control point modes. It took Amos roughly a year to get the game to a point where he could load into the map for even a few moments before getting booted out. At the time my focus was still a relatively simple firing range in the Kings Canyon map without multiplayer.' 'This is where the project started as I saw the potential of actually running this compiled in local server code. It turns out, early versions of Apex contained local server code, allowing the game to be run without connecting to EA's own servers.

Much of what Amos tells me is rather technical, but the key discovery he made was in finding that at 42mb, the executable for the launch version of Apex was significantly larger than the 32mb exe for the then-live build of the game. (Image credit: Respawn Entertainment, R5Reloaded)
