Olympus is a map released in Season 7 located on the planet Psamathe.

Lore

Olympus was a city built on dreams. Built in 2640 by billionaire humanitarian Lillian Peck, this utopia floating in clouds above Psamathe was once a place where the brightest minds in the Outlands could gather and exchange ideas, leading to breakthroughs in the sciences and arts. Olympus produced a number of breakthroughs for the Outlands including developments in eco-friendly Jump Drives for short-distance vessels, a Phase Technology for immediate transportation called the Phase Runner, and drone technology for health and security systems.

All dreams come to an end however, and this one ended explosively: the Phase Runner accident in an experimental research facility led to the creation of the Phase Rift (a massive bubble of Phase energy), and the Outlands’ best and brightest quickly abandoned the city.

However, Olympus itself was maintained by advanced computer systems, so it quickly found new buyers in the Outlands’ elite. For 40 years, it served as a lavish vacation spot with the Rift as a tourist attraction. Unfortunately, the Rift grew unstable overtime, and Olympus was fully evacuated six months ago. Now Hammond Robotics, with the support of the Mercenary Syndicate, has transformed Olympus into a new stage for the Apex Games – though why is anyone’s guess.

Locations

Name	Loot Tier	Description	Supply Bins
Agriculture Entry	Low
Antechamber	Low	Antechamber is a passageway going to Central Turbine.
Autumn Estates	High	An oval-shaped area featuring small buildings surrounding the edges. A 3-story building in the center acts as a centerpiece for the area. Another 3-story building is located just north of the central building.
Bonsai Plaza	Mid	The crown jewel of Olympus, on the south part of the map, features multiple large skyscrapers and restaurants.
Bonsai Hillside	Low
Arcadia Supercarrier	High	A somewhat large location on Olympus where close-quarters combat will most likely happen. Features other buildings in the area alongside the namesake ship.
Central Turbine	Mid	This POI has a double slow moving fan in center, and the majority of the loot surrounds the edge. Close quarters combat is inevitable here. It also connects many other POI's, therefore becoming a shortcut.
Defense	Low
Docks	High	A circular area compromised of several buildings. It is located on the northwest of the map, between Carrier and Power Grid.
Elysium	High	A floating vessel in the far southwest side of the map connected by two ziplines. The loot in the POI is mainly in the middle area and around the edges of the vessel. The middle area always has a gold item and/or a purple item.
Energy Depot	High	A large roofed area compromised of several small buildings. It is located near Turbine and Hammond Labs.
Farmstead	Low
Grow Towers	Mid	Three spinning towers located on the east side of the map.
Golden Gardens	Mid	A collection of four 2-story, 3-room buildings located on the east side of the map. It consists of a shallow, crescent-shaped pond, as well as many trees and flowers.
Hammond Labs	Mid	A large lab in the center of the map, between Estates, Turbine, Energy Depot, and Solar Array.
Hydroponics	High	A collection of buildings southwest of the map, southeast of Elysium.
Ivory Pass	Low
Lab Annex	Low
Maintenance	Low
Orbital Cannon Test Site	High	A large site located on the southeast of the map, south of Grow Towers.
Pathfinder's Fight Night	High	A town takeover that consists of a boxing arena with a ring where players can only use melee attacks. However, if a player dies within the ring and is respawned, there is a that bug that only allows them to use melee attacks as if they were still in the ring.
Phase Gateway Central	Low	The entrance to the Phase Runner south of Hammond Labs.	4
Phase Gateway West	Low	The entrance to the Phase Runner north of Hydroponics.	4
Primary Power Grid	Mid
Rift Aftermath	High	A large dome made of Rift energy located on the northeast part of the map. It features a glowing orb of Rift energy in its center that acts as the east entrance/exit to the Phase Runner.
Research Basin	High
Secondary Power Grid	Low
Shipyard	Low
Solar Array	Mid	A collection of small buildings. The central building has a large solar panel on the top, and is a guaranteed spawn for sniper rifles.
Supply Track	Low
The Icarus	High	The red ship. Also the location of the vault.
The Reverie Lounge	High	An area above Bonsai Plaza that connects two of the buildings.
Underpass	Low
Velvet Oasis	Mid	Velvet Oasis mainly has two tall buildings with an inside having ziplines leading towards the underground Oasis Cafe. There are other smaller structures around the buildings so you can retreat to there if you manage to escape from a fight at the buildings.
Welcome Center	Low
Wildflower Meadow	Low

Map features

• Phase Runner: The Phase Runner are exciting new tools to traverse to each zone.
• Trident: The Trident is a vehicle found on Olympus and Storm Point. It was released in Season 7.
• Loot MRVNs: Loot MRVNs are definitely the loot bots with the most life in them. They look similar to the one powered-down MRVN that had priorly been on the map, only they’re now powered up. They cannot walk around, but their screens activate when you approach them. Loot MRVNs look and behave like a slot machine, right down to the single arm. Their screen will spin and you’ve got to try to press loot at the right time to get higher tier loot.
• Icarus Bridge: Throughout The Icarus are the corpses of some of the scientists who worked aboard the ship while in deep space. Be sure to take advantage of the leftover keycard that spawns randomly upon one of their bodies. (It’s not like they were using it, right?) If you find the keycard, rush to the front of the ship to gain access to the best loot aboard The Icarus. Inside, players can also take advantage of the view to plan their next route. Be careful you don’t get ambushed, as other players can steal the keycard from your deathbox.

Trivia

The background of the Season 4 launch trailer.

• Olympus is the home of Lifeline, Octane, and Horizon. Pathfinder was also assembled on Olympus.
• One of Olympus' restaurants, Tenmei, was where Revenant killed Loba's parents. The plaza where Tenmei was located, The Reverie Lounge, is a POI on the map.
• When asked why Olympus looks different in the game compared to the Season 4 launch trailer and loading screens, Ashley Reed (through Manny Hagopian's Reddit account) replied that Olympus can transform.
  • Previous iterations of the map were in fact surrounded by flying skyscraper cities.
• The Arcadia Supercarrier is the rocket that was previously on World's Edge during Season 6. It launched to Olympus during the Season 7 launch trailer, and it is now a POI on the map.
• The Phase Runner accident is actually a purposeful self-destruction initiated by the scientist of Project Iris (and creators of Pathfinder) to prevent the theft of Branthium by a traitor on December 25, 2658.
