Apex Legends leak reveals new ‘Tropics’ map will have tridents like Olympus

A new Apex Legends leak regarding the long-running ‘tropical’ map claims that it will have Trident vehicles – currently exclusive to the Olympus map.

Apex Legends players have, since season 7, become accustomed to the three battle royale maps. Kings Canyon arrived first and was joined by Worlds’ Edge, while Olympus arrived in Season 7 alongside the legendary Horizon and Trident vehicles.

While Trident vehicles are currently exclusive to Olympus, that may well be about to change. New Leaks, Courtesy of Reputable Data Miner GarretLeaks on Twitter, suggest that Apex’s new battle royale map – currently known as Tropics – will feature futuristic vehicles.

Trident vehicles dropped in Season 7, alongside Legend Horizon and the Olympus map.

On July 18, the leaker shared the first images of the vehicles, aesthetically comparing them to existing Trident vehicles that can be found on Olympus.

While the two are almost identical, the leak highlighted the main difference between the two: the splash of dirt that stains the vehicle’s white exteriors.

This alludes to the swampy areas of the new map, perhaps similar to tropical Titanfall maps like Lagoon.

New Map – “TROPICS” will have Tidents, these can be differentiated by their dirt splatter.

It is also suitable for past leaks. In August 2020, data miners and leakers began to uncover a potential new map drawn on a tropical island. The in-game code string reads “MP_RR_TROPIC_ISLAND_DESC”, which is the same as Kings Canyon and World’s Edge in the Apex Legends base code.

Details have been scarce since then, but it looks like we’re getting closer to launching this tropical map. It’s unclear if he keeps the name “Tropics” when it drops, but in-game data suggests it will be something close to that.

It’s been a few seasons since a new map launched, so given Respawn’s track record of adding maps every three seasons or so, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Tropics drop with Season 10 in early August.
