Show notes

Kinder and Kurabara dive into the latest dev tracker notes, and discuss some of the bigger changes coming in future patches, problems under investigation, and even a delicious pork chops recipe! Afterwards, we get into the meat of the episode and discuss the highly anticipated Fight or Fright event coming to Apex on Oct 15, in which players will return to a dark, and warped version of King's Canyon, and face hoards of player-controlled "zombies", in a totally awesome sounding free-for-all mode, reminiscent of Halo 3's Zombies mode. Finally, we close things out with the details on the upcoming training area being added, which includes many highly requested additions, including weapon attachments, and legend switching. This time, on Dropping Spicy!!!
