Flyer Liars
In addition to stunning visuals, we also get out second glimpse at in-universe music for Apex Legends. Similar to how Fuse is a musician, and performed Outlaws’ Oath, Flyer Liars is Lifeline’s band. They have a punk rock sound to them, and their tracks get Lifeline totally pumped. Many fans are hoping for a full music video for the song and/or band in the future.
Becoming Apex Legends
The Stories from the Outlands ends with Ajay’s boyfriend leaving her due to her ties to her family, and Ajay seeing a television spot for Bangalore in the Apex Games. Given her need for more supplies and money funds, this inspires her and Octavio to join the Apex Games themselves.
Every Legend in Apex Legends has a different reason for joining. Some by choice, others by force. But this was why these two joined, and why Ajay became Lifeline.
Apex Legends Stories from the Outlands: Family Business aired on June 14, 2022 during Season 13: Saviors.
