Control is one of the fan-favorite 9v9 game modes in Apex Legends, and it’s back in the game on a new map. World’s Edge was added to the map pool earlier this season, and fans will be able to experience Control mode at various Points of Interest (POIs) on this map. The Awakening Collector’s Event includes several quests for players to complete in Control mode, and we’ve come up with some strategies to help you win.
Where is the Control map on World’s Edge in Apex Legends?
Previously, control of World’s Edge took place in Hammond Labs. Only. However, players will now also have the opportunity to fight in Lava Siphon. POIs in World’s Edge. Both POIs are added when you turn the map in control mode, and these POIs are divided into three separate zones that teams must capture.
How do I capture multiple zones in control mode in Apex Legends?
In Control Mode, players must capture and hold three different zones to win the game. Each team has nine players, and all three zones remain neutral until a certain team captures them. The goal of the game is to capture and hold a zone, so it doesn’t matter who gets the most kills. Divide and conquer is the best strategy for capturing multiple zones in Control. We recommend players focus on Zone B, as any team that captures the middle zone has a better chance of winning.
Focus the bulk of your team’s heavy abilities on capturing the zone. Once it is captured, summon defensive legends to set traps, walls, and other useful things that will stop enemy attacks. It is important to stick together when defending the zone, as isolated Legends will often concede the zone. Players with impeccable sniper abilities can position themselves on the building opposite Seat B, providing long-range support to teammates rushing to capture the zone.
The best legends to play Control in Apex Legends
Control in Apex Legends is all about target play and effective zone retention. Naturally, legends such as Rampart, Wattson, Caustic, Gibraltar, Fuse, Bloodhound, и Bangalore succeed in this zone domination format. Although these are the most popular Legends for Control, we recommend that players try their hand at this game mode.
Players can also switch legends mid-game in Control mode, and we recommend switching to the perfect character depending on the map. Legends with movement abilities such as Pathfinder, Valkyrie, Octane, and Horizon are great for aggressive rolls to capture any zone. Watch for grapple bonuses when defending zones and always stay in a group to avoid being outnumbered.
