With Apex Legends Season 12, the Olympus map has gotten some major tweaks and changes. The map was first added back in Season 7 and was well-received by the community. Now, the developers have added two new POIs to Olympus, as well as several adjustments throughout the map. The map has been expanded in an attempt to draw the firefights out of the center of the map. Called the “Sabotaged Olympus,” the new map includes new ways to loot and navigate using Phase Driver and Terminal.

Phase Driver is a massive, circular POI that will be divided between Hydroponics and Bonsai Hillside, causing Solar Array, Icarus, Bonsai Hillside, and Bonsai Plaza to all move away from the center of Olympus to create more space. The Terminal is an extensive internal POI with five entrances, linking Phase Driver, Bonsai Hillside, Bonsai Plaza, and Solar Array to Hammond Labs.
In the northern half of the map, Supply Track (the hallway that joins Turbine to Rift) has been extended with a new entryway. The Storm Point map has undergone changes as well. With Season 12, the Prowlers will do reduced damage to Legends while supplying more crafting materials.
