Respawn Entertainment have made a number of map changes in Apex Legends Season 8, including new Explosive Holds on Kings Canyon filled with rare loot.

Aside from the new Legend and weapon(check out the full patch notes here), one of the biggest talking points surrounding the content drop has been the state of Kings Canyon. When Fuse arrived on the scene, he brought with him a whole host of party fireworks for the people to enjoy. But, those celebrations were cut short as Maggie sabotaged his arrival and set off explosives all over the map.

Now, we have a completely reshaped Kings Canyon to play on, with awhole host of map changes.
