She ultimately failed, dying in the process before being brought back to "life" as a simulacrum. Reid then turned on her other colleagues (including Pathfinder) and attempted to reroute the branthium shipments elsewhere for reasons unknown. After faking an accident that sent her mentor tumbling into a black hole, Dr. Reid's participation in the research (dubbed Project Iris) was all a ruse. The branthium was to be used for the purposes of saving the Outlands from a deadly energy crisis. Reid was known for her research on branthium, a rare but power fuel source that can only be obtained from outer space (black holes are also involved- it's complicated).

Once a human scientist and assistant to the brilliant Dr. Now Playing: Apex Legends Mobile: Champions Gameplay Trailer The basics We can hope that when Season 9: Legacy launches we’ll get to find out even more about Ash, Kuben Blisk, Valkyrie, the Apex Predators, and their relationships with one another in Apex Legends.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's She’s essentially reprising her previous role here, and it fits her perfectly. Small, sectioned-off areas of Apex Legends’ various maps, where you’ll go in with loadouts and a small team, and will eliminate opponents until either a timer has elapsed, or an elimination goal has been reached.Īsh will be the host of this mode, similar to how she organised IMC Pilots in Titanfall 2’s multiplayer. It has previously been datamined and leaked that a small-scale PVP mode with respawns was being developed for Apex Legends, and that seems to be exactly what the Arena mode is. The Impress Me teaser basically lets us know that Ash is organising an Arena for Apex Legends, and while some have theorised that this will be an instalment in Kings Canyon, similar to Pathfinder’s Fight Night Takeover, I believe that the Arena will be a new mode entirely, that will be available throughout Season 9, at least. She was recovered by Pathfinder during The First Ship, Season 6’s story quest, and at the end of that story she left with Kuben Blisk, Apex Predators’ leader, after being told that an “old friend” had returned, that could’ve equally been Horizon, or perhaps Viper’s daughter Valkyrie. While with Hammond, Ash’s data was extracted, and then she was once again thrown out. The finale of the quest saw you reattaching Ash’s head to a replacement body.Īsh was given to Hammond Robotics by Loba in return for the location of Revenant’s source code. Of course, being a simulacrum means death is harder to come by than being crushed, as Revenant has proved.Īsh actually reappeared in Apex Legends’ Season 5 story quest, The Broken Ghost, where Legends were tasked with acquiring Relics from around Kings Canyon, and finally assembling them to create Ash’s head. Ash was the primary liaison for the Pilots in Titanfall 2’s multiplayer mode, so she regularly appeared in scenes sending Pilots out to fight.Īsh first appeared as a boss in Titanfall 2, and was seemingly killed by Jack, the protagonist of Titanfall 2’s campaign, and BT, his Titan partner.

You might first remember Ash from Titanfall 2, and if you were a dedicated multiplayer fan, then she may have been unforgettable.
