Apex Legends Season 10 Reportedly Adds Warzone-Style Cable Car Transport
Neither has been confirmed by Respawn
Mark
Let's start with the headline. Cable cars in Apex Legends?
Mimi
It's reported, not announced. The idea is a transport system like the one in Call of Duty: Warzone, planned for Season 10.
Luke
And I'd flag that the source piece gives no named source or evidence for the cable car. It's a reported plan, nothing more.
Mark
What is actually confirmed, then?
Mimi
The Season 9 end date of August 2 and the Season 10 start on August 3 follow the usual cadence. EA confirmed Ranked Arenas on July 8. Respawn confirmed buffs for Rampart, Wattson, and more changes for Horizon.
Luke
Careful, though. The dates come from the standard three-month pattern, not a quoted announcement.
Mark
And the new Legend?
Mimi
Two candidates. Pariah, from a leak before Season 7, and Seer, based on ability icons and the name Moth Drone in game files.
Luke
Both are leaks. The Moth and the Flame teasers only seem to hint at Seer. Nobody official has said so, and the Pariah skin names could change.
Mark
Anything about the Wattson buff stand out?
Mimi
Players were let down by a joke buff in the Genesis patch notes. Respawn now says it wants a real one that doesn't overpower her.
Luke
We don't know the size of any of these changes, including Horizon's. That detail simply isn't there yet.
Der Puls
- A reported cable car system could reshape how squads move across the Apex map, and players are already eager to see whether it lands.
- The next Legend remains a guessing game, with Pariah and Seer both backed by leaked icons, skin names, and cryptic teasers.
- Long-running frustrations with Caustic, Rampart, Wattson, and Horizon are being met with planned buffs and nerfs, though the details are still thin.
- Ranked Arenas, confirmed at EA Play's Future of FPS show, gives competitive players a concrete new mode to prepare for.
- With the season set to begin August 3, official reveals, textures, and in-game footage are the signals everyone is watching for.
As the summer of 2021 turns toward autumn's competitive calendar, Respawn Entertainment is reportedly readying the next chapter of Apex Legends, a season due to open on August 3 after the Legacy update closes. Some of what lies ahead has been confirmed, such as a new Ranked Arenas mode announced by EA, while other elements, a cable car transit system and a yet-unnamed recon Legend that may be Pariah or Seer, drift in the shadows of leaks and data-mined fragments. Like every game season before it, this one arrives as a mix of rumor, promise, and corrective adjustment, with the community waiting to see which whispers become the shape of the game.
Respawn Entertainment is reportedly preparing a cable car system for Apex Legends Season 10, similar to the transport network in Call of Duty: Warzone. The claim comes from CharlieINTEL's roundup of the next season, which mixes studio confirmations with items pulled from leaks.
The timing is the firmest part. Season 9's Legacy update ends August 2, 2021, and Season 10 is expected to launch the next day. Ranked Arenas was confirmed by EA during the July 8 EA Play Future of FPS show, and ranked play remains a favorite way for players to measure their growth.
The new Legend is still undecided. Pariah, a recon Legend with sonar grenades and an ultimate that grants stun immunity, first surfaced in a leak before Season 7, and leakers claim 40 skins exist. Data miners instead point to Seer, citing three ability icons and the name Moth Drone, while the official account's The Moth and the Flame teasers seem to hint at her without saying so.
Balance work is coming too. Caustic, nerfed hard in Season 8, is set for a buff, and Rampart has a confirmed Season 10 buff after long-standing bugs and complaints about her turret Sheila. Wattson will receive a buff paired with a hitbox nerf, a response to players who felt earlier changes missed the mark. Horizon will also change, though no details have been shared.
The cable car and the identity of the new Legend are the pieces to watch. Neither is confirmed, and official reveals or footage should clear up the picture before August 3.
Respawn Entertainment is reportedly preparing to add a cable car system to Apex Legends in Season 10, one that closely resembles the transport network already in Call of Duty: Warzone. The claim comes from CharlieINTEL's roundup of what is known about the next season, and it sits alongside a longer list of items, some confirmed by the studio and some pulled from leaks.
The timing is the firmest part. A season of Apex Legends normally runs three months, and the next begins the following day. The current Legacy update, Season 9, ends on August 2, 2021, and Season 10 is expected to launch on August 3. Legacy brought Arenas mode, the Legend Valkyrie, the Infested Olympus map, and the Bocek Bow. It also brought private matches to console.
The new Legend is not settled. Pariah first surfaced in a major leak shortly before Season 7, described as a recon Legend, and was originally expected in Season 9. According to the leaks, Pariah has a passive that shows enemy health bars, sonar grenades for scouting opponents, and an ultimate that grants immunity to stun effects and steam. Leakers claim there are 40 skins, and one of them, Biast12, posted four legendary skin names in April while noting they could easily change. No textures or in-game footage have appeared.
Other data miners point to Seer instead. The leaker @SomeoneWhoLeaks found three ability icons in the game files, along with the name Moth Drone. The first icon appears to be a passive, the second a tactical, and the third the Moth Drone. The official Apex Legends Twitter account has also been posting teasers under the title The Moth and the Flame, with Chapter 3 appearing on July 17, 2021. The teasers seem to hint at Seer's arrival, though the account has not said so.
Balance changes are coming too. Caustic took a major nerf in the split of Season 8 that left him much less threatening, and developers planned to buff him before Season 9 closes. Rampart, long troubled by bugs that stopped her abilities from working properly, has a buff confirmed for Season 10, which the developers announced in a Reddit AMA. Changes already made in response to complaints about her turret Sheila include stopping enemies from scaling her walls and letting her minigun move around more.
Wattson is also due a buff, along with a nerf to her hitbox. Players had been disappointed when the Genesis collection event patch notes contained what they saw as a joke buff for her, after asking for serious changes. Respawn says it wants the adjustments to make her more enjoyable without making her overpowered. Horizon, added in Season 7 and nerfed several times since, will get further changes in Season 10, though no details have been shared.
The one mode announcement is official. On July 8, during the EA Play Future of FPS show, EA confirmed that Season 10 will introduce a Ranked Arenas mode. Ranked play is popular in the Apex community, since it lets players measure progress through regular play.
The cable car and the identity of the new Legend are the pieces to watch. Neither has been confirmed by Respawn, and official reveals, textures, or footage should clarify them before August 3.
