Infested Olympus and Icarus

While Kings Canyon is returning to the vault in Apex Legends Season 9, Olympus is persisting, and with that, a brand-new map update and Betoken of Interest (POIs) are making their debut. A root-ridden infection is slowly taking over the flying urban center after a fleet of ships arrives. The main ship, a large docked send called The Icarus, serves as players' newest POI.

The Icarus is the but new POI, but it is as well large, multifaceted, and full of boodle. There is enough space in the infested ship for multiple teams to land at that place and come across in the middle for a fiery early battle, similar to drops at Arcadia Supercarrier.

Icarus Location

The location of the Icarus is in the space between Bonzai Plaza, Solar Array, and Orbital Cannon. This will definitely make Solar Array a more unsafe place to rotate through.

The Icarus also fits right in these other major POIs similar Bonzai Plaza, Hammond Labs, and Velvet Oasis. Information technology also has a loftier-tier loot sublocation, joining the ranks of Reverie Lounge, Oasis Café, and Research Bowl. Unlike the other sublocations, however, The Icarus Span is locked, and you lot demand to find a Bridge Keycard to access it.

Spring Tower changes

The only other major change fabricated to the map aside from the growing roots scattered around is the removal of two major Spring Belfry balloon locations. Ane Jump Tower beingness removed is the one to the south-west of Golden Gardens, which developers decided gave players likewise much tertiary-party power on players in Grow Gardens, Hammond Labs, and Free energy Depot. The other being removed is west of Orbital Cannon to prevent players from using it to drop into the new Icarus POI.

The infestation manifests over Olympus May 4.
