Apex Legends LTM Control: Presented by Silva Pharmaceuticals under the stewardship of Duardo Silva, Control is a new way to play the Apex Games and is our first big team mode in Apex Legends. This time, you’re not just fighting alongside your squadmates; you’re fighting alongside eight other players for control of various strongholds throughout the Outlands.

Control is all about taking the things that make Apex Legends awesome – our characters and their abilities, our gunplay and movement – and recontextualizing them in a mode that puts you in the center of fights that would not be possible in our Battle Royale or Arenas modes, all while keeping things fast-paced and low pressure. The team that controls the battlefield, wins the match.

LIVE. DIE. RINSE. REPEAT.
Death isn’t the end of the road in Control (so remember not to hammer that “Leave Match” button). That’s right, you always respawn. In fact, you’ll respawn every time you die – and fairly quickly too. Use this as an opportunity to try different strategies, try new weapons, or think of new ways to play. Control is all about experimentation and letting you play with all of the tools Apex has to offer to know that if a flanking maneuver doesn’t work – you can always try again.

While choosing your spawn, you can also change Legends or load-outs to switch up your playstyle. The battlefield shifts quickly and you need to be able to adapt. Whether you’re sniping from a distance, or you’re rushing the zone with a heavy LMG, changing your Legend or Loadout is an opportunity to adjust your strategy. You can also choose different optics for your preferred style of play.

POWER STRUGGLE
Controlling zones is the key to winning in Control. Zones are where massive fights happen and you can synergize your character abilities with the rest of your team to get an advantage in the fight. Owning a zone earns you points every second, and the more zones you own the more points you earn every second. The first team to reach the score limit of 1,250 wins.
Sometimes, Timed Events will shake up where the action is. Airdrops are opportunities to grab powerful crate weapons to give you a damage output advantage, but watch out because they’ll run out of ammo if you’re too trigger-happy.
If you own the center zone, you’ll be able to spawn there if you also own your FOB. This is how the central zone has a direct connection of reinforcements from the home base. This also means if you own the central zone, but you lose control of your FOB, you will lose the ability to spawn on either zone. This makes back-capping a powerful strategy for a team to divert attention from one zone to another and orchestrate a push for a capture.

TOTAL CONTROL
Owning all three zones at once is a difficult feat to accomplish, but if your team can pull it off it opens up a powerful position that may let you end the game early. Once a team successfully controls all three zones at once, the match goes into Lockout.
Lockout starts a timer, and the controlling team can hold the lockout until the timer reaches zero, they will immediately win the game. However, if the team that is locked out can successfully regain control over any zone, they will abort the lockout and the game will resume as normal. Holding all of the points is a powerful point-earning opportunity for the team that controls the lockout, but holding all three zones for an extended period of time is a tricky proposition that only the most skilled and coordinated teams will be able to pull off.

LEVEL UP YOUR PLAY
In this season we’re introducing dailies and weeklies that can be completed in any mode. We’re also introducing a set of Control-specific challenges and badges that will be live while the mode is playable that you can grind as well.
Control will kick off when Apex Legends: Defiance launches on February 8th, and will be playable for the first three weeks of the season as we celebrate the third anniversary of Apex Legends. We can’t wait for you to get your hands on it and look forward to hearing what you think.
