A New LTM, "Hardcore Royale" is coming to Apex Legends alongside a new collection event as Season 15 of Apex Legends went from slow burn to late bloomer in the span of a few weeks. Respawn Entertainment has been enjoying plenty of praise since its announcement of Jedi: Survivor. It looks like Apex Legends is receiving plenty of love in the second half of Season 15.
What is the Hardcore Royale LTM in Apex Legends?
The Hardcore Royale LTM is a new limited-time game mode coming to Apex Legends. In essence, it's the regular Battle Royale mode for Trios but with added conditions that make it more challenging and interesting. Here's how it works.
- Limited information on the HUD
- White Armor only. Which means the maximum HP is capped at 150.
- No helmets. Headshots will deal maximum damage.
- No armor spawn in death boxes. Players won't be able to armor swap.
- Ring starts at max damage. Getting caught outside of it is very likely to be fatal.
