Four main issues

Frustrations around the Ranked SystemHow Bans are handled in Normal MatchesMatchmaking optimizationsPerformance optimizations for devices and serversKeep reading for a breakdown of all the changes Cold Snap is bringing to Apex Legends Mobile.

　　

A not-so-new legend

Loba will be joining the other Apex Mobile legends in the dropship in this update, and her skills are exactly the same as they are in Apex Legends on console and PC (presumably free from the bug that's been plaguing her tactical ability in the original version of the game for years). Loba will be available in the shop for purchase, but can also be unlocked by reaching level 25 of the Cold Snap battle pass.

　　In addition to her standard skillset, Loba--like all of the other legends in the mobile game--will have her own set of unique equippable perks, though those won't be unveiled until the update launches. However, devs did reveal a few of those perks in the blog post. Loba's perks include the ability to gain extra loot from crates and steal her squadmates' banners, an ability quite similar to the recently leaked Remote Banner Recovery survival item, which may be added to Apex on console and PC in the future.

　　

A new LTM

Armed and Dangerous--the popular shotty-sniper mode that was the first LTM to debut in the console and PC versions of Apex Legends--will make its first appearance in the mobile game after Cold Snap is released.

　　

Town Takeover and a new ordnance: Snow Grenades

Once Cold Snap launches, the Climatizer on World's Edge will turn on and off during the course of a match, covering parts of World’s Edge with a blanket of snow. When the Climatizer is on, Frosted Loot Boxes will appear on the map. Looting these frosty loot bins (and the deathboxes of enemies who have looted Frosted Loot Boxes) will reward players with diamonds they can spend on rare items in the Cold Snap Seasonal Shop.

　　Another frosty new addition to the game are Snow Grenades, a new throwable item that damages and slows enemies upon detonation.

　　

Seasonal Shop

Players can collect Diamonds to spend in Cold Snap's new Seasonal Shop. Diamonds can be found in loot boxes during a match, on eliminated enemies, and can also be earned by completing in-game missions.
