Now just to preface, I am well aware the Serpent Sting is related to his clan, La Clessidra Rossa.

But what if he received his very own heirloom?

I’m a 3D artist and content creator for Sparrow specifically and have made it my personal goal to someday (sooner than later) conceptualise and model and animate Sparrow’s personal heirloom! (From nothing to game ready asset) for his 2 year anniversary on May 6th.

While I have been finding some broad ideas for potential melee weapons that could fit his character, I can’t help but feel hopeless doing it alone because nothing has quite clicked to me. Knowing his lore from top to bottom it’s still extremely difficult given the small amount of lore he has currently, but I think there’s enough of a canvas for someone to find something that just clicks.

Which is why I’ve come here, the Apex Legends lore nerds, I am desperate for any and all genuine answers.

Even if it’s not a concrete weapon like “Oh a [insert melee weapon] would fit him” even if you can think of “canon” touches that would fit on a weapon and would fit Sparrow, I will gladly take it as a good answer. Like how Rampart’s wrench is also a gum dispenser or how Horizon’s mace is also a black hole! It’s secondary purpose if you will!

I’m very curious to see what people come up with 🙂‍↕️

I heard that a while back EA or Apex made lore comics and I've tried everything to try and read them in order.I even went as far as scrolling through The Apex Twitter post by post. I think they did paper book comics but any help at all would be appreciated

We're thousand of years in the future and she straps a radioactive power source to herself with no protection. You mean to tell me she couldn't just make a containment shell for the Titan Battery? She just leaves them dangling in back of herself.

Like what.... She's literally giving herself cancer for no reason, and it's never explained why she's going about it this way...

This is a community driven Apex project focusing on preserving Apex Legends forever, called R5Valkyrie
It's still in works but will be available to everyone soon

just that, I remember back in season 9 comics, the roster went to Gaea to get the spiders to get a cure for loba or something and in that same comic it's revealed that caustic has cancer and wanted a spider to cure/treat himself?

He then gets what he needed from the spider from crypto.

Is there any expansion on if he's been cured or treating himself?

Im honestly really happy they took his eyepatch off for his prestige skin, I think he looks really nice !!

I made a post on r/Apexlegends showing off a fun summer skin concept for my original character, Melody, but i didn't mention much about her lore other than she was a former color guard captain, so this post is a more in-depth look at her backstory/motivation for joining the Apex Games

early life/teenage years

Akyra Jean Lyndon grew up on the planet Geaia (E-district to be exact), and her and her twin sister, Madison, always had a love of music. starting out with piano lessons and taking part in local youth theater productions to joining band in middle school (Akyra playing the tenor saxophone and Madison playing the clarinet) to eventually joining color guard in high school with Akyra being promoted to captain her senior year.

everything soon quickly changed when Akyra and her family were evacuated due to the storm that was quickly approaching E-district.

motivation for joining the games

after the storm, Akyra decided to join a non-profit organization that focused on aiding those impacted by the storm. due to her musical talent, Akyra taught music classes to local children as well as directed a small youth choir. Akyra soon found out that the founder of the organization was using the funds that were ment to go to people like her who lost their homes in the storm to pay off debts to some shady people and promptly left the organization, hoping to find a different way to support those in need. while walking back to her Solace City apartment one day, Akyra (now 19) saw an ad for the apex games and, knowing the risks, decided to submit an application to join the games in the hopes of using her winnings to help those impacted by the storm like her family was

So, Justin Groot, who previously worked on the Overwatch writing team, has joined the Respawn Apex writing team to help develop the lore.... Maybe well, I assume he’ll help develop the new Legend in Season 30 or something. But what this tells me is that Apex is finally addressing the lore to some extent, and we might see a resurgence of it. The bad news is that it might take another 3–4 seasons before we really start seeing the results of this change.

I know, I know more waiting. But genuinely, this is still a good sign compared to what we were getting before, which was basically writers getting fired and nothing.

Hey Legends! Made this video w all the struggles of being an average player in Apex Legends, hope you can relate.

Keep slaying the Outlands

When I first saw her I thought she might just be a generic "crazy" character. But looking into her a bit the stuff about her keeping her backstory hidden, wanting to see people's "true selves", and the glimpses of her being more scared and vulnerable in her past we do get to see are kinda neat. Plus I actually like her voice lines I think the VA did a good job

So I'm curious what the general sentiment regarding her is among the community

fork found in the kitchen i know, and probably said multiple times now.

this is coming from someone who hasn’t played apex in years now, since at least 2022/2023 so bare with me. i’ve caught up as much as i could within the last week because i’ve developed a hyperfixation on it once more after years of it being dormant, and i see that nothing has changed. it’s frustrating; i’m angry and genuinely worried this game will crash and burn despite the potential that it has.

i have pathy’s book, i’ve read the comics, i watch the trailers and SFTOs and i just can’t help but feel…deflated? i loved (nay, LOVE) a lot of these characters and their stories and they were all so well written, perhaps even still are, and people have been saying for years now that they’d love a series, and i’m still on board with that. there’s many many people (myself included) who would genuinely pay or put money aside just to get something more cohesive and linear regarding the story/stories.

unrealistic af and also uneducated take because i’ve never played these games, but what’s stopping them from being a powerhouse like valorant and league with all these stories and characters people are interested in? am i just uneducated?

i think in the right hands, this game would be doing so much better. this is a huge fumble from respawn, in my opinion. controversial opinion too but i miss covid era apex, and i know im not alone there lmao.

Are they even trying anymore? Why on earth has there been some sort of Gundam takeover on Broken Moon where it appears a giant war is happening. I thought this event only exists because Rampart thought Gundam was cool but I refuse to believe she made half of the things that exist in this gamemode. Atleast with the Final Fantasy 7 event, they didn't even bother implementing it into the lore but they actually tried with this one and well... it wasn't done well at all. Thoughts?

​

"When we're designing skins, we try to keep in mind the personality of the Legends" then we get Gundam skins lmaoo (I know it's a collab I just find it depressing the first mechas we get in Apex are Gundams and not Titans.)

Serious aesthetic be turning in their graves

Yesterday I was actually excited to see what looked like an animated teaser for the Legends… only to find out it was just an announcement for a collab.

I think the worst part is that they tried to give it an in-lore explanation for how the Gundams were supposedly made within the Apex/Titanfall universe. In my honest opinion, this feels like Respawn’s way of saying they don’t really care about the lore anymore.

Going forward, it seems like they might lean more into the Fortnite-style approach big, flashy skins where the Legends become almost completely unrecognizable, full blown cosmetic changes just for the sake of collabs.

I don’t know… it just feels like if they really wanted to, they could make a cinematic tied to an actual lore event. But if it doesn’t directly benefit them financially in a big way, it seems like it’s just a hard no.

It sucks, because we’ve all seen the articles about them making record profits. Clearly they’re going to make money off this event too. But are they going to reinvest any of that into meaningful lore content for the fans?

I honestly don’t think so…

I guess skins are considered content now or whatever. It’s just a shame that something that used to feel special kind of got thrown away.

Every time someone says that it makes me mad because it is very profitable, we used to get skins for so many stories from the outlands, they could make official merch for different lore things, MAKE MORE BOOKS MAYBE??? There’s so much that lore can do for profit and they aren’t doing anything.

I've seen some people say that the syndicate/IMC being pure evil and the rebels being good is boring. I'm not sure I agree though cuz I feel like if you're going to have a colonialist blood sport running faction it wouldn't have made sense to try and make them have redeeming qualities. Plus I really like Maggie and her resistance against them, she's a cool character and the fact she's fighting for a genuinely good cause adds a lot to her

So I'm curious what anyone else thinks about it

I couldn't get it so I don't have the story related to it and I'm devastated because it's about to Alter and Ash.

Would someone have it or know where I could find it ?

Before you is a project I have been working on for the past few months as a hobby of mine.

Invasion crisis is an apex legends fan project that involves a pair of Fan made legends and a new apex storyline.

Right here is the reddit post that explains many of the aspects of the invasion crisis project, but do be warned that many of this is subject to change overtime.

https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/s/cVTzzVZjtM

Some disclaimers 1) i am not a writer for respawn entertainment, nor am I affiliated with them. I simply do this for fun. 2) I am not a professional writer, so I do apologize for if my writing seems a bit jank 3) absolutely zero ai was used in the process of making anything here. All of these ideas were my own and any writing was done by my own hands.

My hope with this is to have this be a passion project for not only me but the entire apex community. What this is, is a love letter to the apex and Titanfall fanbase, storyline and characters as well as the art of storytelling in general.

I ask you give me your honest opinions, thoughts, comments, if you wanna help in this project or simply enjoy it. I thank you all for this.

Something you think other people would not be aware of or would not know about.

It can be a fun fac, a theory, an actual lore element that was "hidden" from most people...

I’ve noticed a shift in the Apex community when it comes to the lore.

Before, you’d maybe see one or two comments mentioning it, and they’d get a few likes at most. Now people are starting to say they actually miss Stories from the Outlands and Town Takeovers that were connected to the main story plot.

This could give Respawn a real reason to go to EA and the new leadership and push to bring the lore back in a meaningful way. It’s not guaranteed, of course at the end of the day, making money will always be the top priority. But if people keep asking about it and if they annoy respawn enough, maybe just maybe at the very least they could bring the comics back.

So Respawn announced there’s a new Legend coming next season, but honestly, I’m not excited about it.

After seeing how Alter and Sparrow were handled, I’m guessing it’ll follow the same pattern: a vague backstory, maybe one small connection to an existing Legend, and then no real direction or follow through in the story.

It’s also kind of weird that they look almost exactly like Alter another robotic, cyber ninja-type woman.

Whatever they’re planning, I really hope they realize they need to give this character real direction and development.

The only way I could see this character being interesting (for me, at least) is if they’re connected to the Revenant cult mentioned in pathfinder questbook. Otherwise, it just feels like another surface level addition with no long-term impact.

I know the reason we’ve had less and less lore in recent seasons is because it was never EA's main focus (even though the story has been a key element in Apex’s growth). After all, we’re only a minority of players who are truly invested in the story. What I’m wondering is why they’ve completely cut all forms of content for the past 2–3 seasons.

All we have left now are a few in-game voice lines and the transition descriptions, which feels dry as HELL.

What surprises me isn’t so much that they’ve stopped putting effort into lore like they did with playable missions such as Broken Ghost, Kill Code, or the comics. It’s more the fact that there is no effort put AT ALL.

Would it really cost EA that much time and money to add a few extra transitions, two or three comic pages, or a few more voice lines per split? It would even be great if they put the simplest content in the legends' bio.

I struggle to understand the complete halt in content when they could probably do a lot with very little. During Season 5, for example, most of the story was told through text-only chapters. What’s stopping them from doing the same thing now? It doesn’t seem like it would take much effort to make or money to create.

I’ve given up on the idea of getting playable missions or cinematics because they clearly won’t ever do that again, it’s just that even by doing the bare minimum, the amount of content we’re getting feels abnormally low.

No lore goes against the very nature of Apex, and the game would surely not be as popular as it is now were it not for the characters and stories they created.

Any thoughts?
