In the years after, her home planet of Nexus established ties across the Outlands, introducing Rowenna to the Apex Games. The Games represented everything she aspired to-heroism, hard work, sacrifice—and she became a dedicated fan.When her elder sister Diwa suffered a terrible injury at work, Rowenna resolved to support her family no matter what. She stole the battery from the Monarch, still rusting on the hill, and had a combat rig built with its battery at the core. She used it to qualify for the Apex Games, and even though the battery exposes her to poisonous radiation, she refuses to give up. No one else was going to get hurt to support her family. Rowenna’s choosing to have hope for her dreams or die trying. Now, it’s Conduit’s chance for a day in the sun.Check out more details about Conduit, here.PASSIVE: SAVIOR’S SPEEDGain a burst of speed when running toward a teammate out of Tactical range.TACTICAL: RADIANT TRANSFERBlast your ally with energy, regenerating temporary shields for them when in danger.ULTIMATE: ENERGY BARRICADEDeploy an array of shield jamming devices which damage and slow enemiesIGNITE MAP ROTATIONThe following maps will be available for public matchmaking in the Battle Royale mode:Broken MoonOlympusStorm PointSTORM POINT MAP UPDATEANTI-CHEAT UPDATESNEW IN-MATCH NOTIFICATIONSA new feature that launched during Resurrection is live: in-game notifications for banned players.
