For many players, map design can make or break the intensity of a match, especially game modes that call for strategy.

Lava Siphon
Fire, Ziplines And Dangerous Terrain
- Origin Map: World’s Edge
- Perfect for Vantage, Pathfinder Caustic, Loba or Horizon mains.
Lava Siphon is a high stakes map where players must find solid ground during battle. The lava flow throughout the central bottom level makes this map deadly, if players are not quick to find solid ground, enemies could knock them into the pit, causing damage.
But fear not, certain legends can turn the lava into a training ground. Pathfinder mains can zip away from the lava quickly, leaving enemies to burn. The danger of lava adds an element of risk to every move and forces players to focus on the flow of combat. Lava Siphon is perfect for long range and mid range combat, open spaces and POI lockdowns for any legend. Players will find that they can main defensive or offensive legends for an easy victory in mixtape modes.

Fragment
Close-Quarters Combat Hotspot
- Origin Map: World’s Edge
- Perfect for Lifeline, Pathfinder, Octane or Caustic mains.
Every player remembers the first rush of dropping out the dropship on World’s Edge. Imagine feeling that rush all over again, on new game modes, and the best part of the map. Fragment is a familiar face and a fan favorite thanks to its intense environment filled with tight spaces and narrow streets.
This map encourages fast paced battles where running, gunning and locking down POIs in the buildings are the keys to survival. Players can duck in and out of cover to outsmart opponents in close combat, easily tricking enemies into unfavorable positions. Players that main all legends, even the slowest ones, can take advantage of stealth, ambush and perfect positioning.

Barometer
Strategic Scope Points For A Victory
- Origin Map: Storm Point
- Perfect for Bloodhound, Vantage, Seer or Gibraltar mains.
Barometer is a well-known POI in Apex Legends thanks to its open layout, flank points and tons of loot. Barometer in mixtape modes offers players high ground and intense gameplay. The large central platform makes for great positioning with the ability to see most of the area and shoot enemies below. This map is the perfect choice for TDM thanks to long-range sightlines, lockdown points and spaces that provide opportunities for third parties. Defensive legends and recon legends can dominate this map, using abilities to hold off and spot enemies while the team locks down areas for a win.
3
Habitat
Lush Greenery And Lots Of Heat
- Origin Map: Stormpoint
- Perfect for Wraith, Revenant, Octane and Alter mains.
Habitat is pretty, and pretty intense. One of the smallest islands in the main game map, Stormpoint, Habitat is the type of map that brings unexpected skirmishes and non-stop combat. The open spaces and limited camping spaces encourage players to utilize skill, stealth, ambush and action. Legends like Wraith and Revenant, who shine in quick positioning and confusing enemies, make this map their playground.

Apex Legends: Best Seasons Of All Time, Ranked
Not every season of Apex Legends was built the same. These are the best of the bunch.
Because of this scary, no-hiding, player-in-the-nakedness, new players may be scared to tackle on this map in mixtape modes. While the limited indoor structures or buildings may be chaotic, requiring quick reflexes and sharp decision making, this map is the perfect training ground to master the art of control (literally) in the game.

Zeus Station
Thanks, Wattson, For The Spark
- Origin Map: Storm Point
- Perfect for Bangalore, Wattson, Horizon or Ash mains.
Players can see (and feel) the sparks on Zeus Station. This map offers a mix of tight spaces and long-range zones. This high-tech style structure adds a layer of strategy for players who prefer to have balanced gameplay. Wattson can lock down the central POI by placing her traps on the upper level, zapping enemies that attempt to enter, while Ash can take advantage of upper elements and snare enemies from above.
This map is for players who wish to gain the upper hand, without being too high, to surprise enemies from elevation. The openness of the area with limited camping spots makes for fighting quickly and teams must be strategic when choosing when and where to engage. The chaos of this map makes it ideal for legends that can take control of fast paced mixtape modes for a win.

Skull Town
Classic Combat For Kings
- Origin Map: King’s Canyon
- Perfect for Lifeline, Octane, Pathfinder, and Caustic mains.
The OG, the master in disguise, Skull Town stands tall as it’s day one hotspot in the Apex Legends games. This map is a fan favorite for a reason. It offers fast, straight to the action, brutal combat that is perfect for professional and new players who enjoy high stakes action. The layout features multiple levels, houses, structures and flanking spaced for almost all legends to utilize to their advantage.
Whether it’s climbing to the top of structures to get height, healing enemies from cover behind bones (or just gassing out enemies as Caustic from inside the houses), Skull Town has something for every playstyle. Mixtape modes are all about adapting to the parts of the map to enjoy familiar modes and legends, and Skull Town is a perfect example of how design alone can purely enhance those experiences.
