Where to find Materia in the Final Fantasy Apex mode?
The simple answer is that Materia are found throughout the map, and have the same rarity as Hop ups. However, there's more to that answer. See, there are some, loot rich areas that typically have Matiera scattered throughout. Some common places to find Materia in the Final Fantasy Apex mode would be Lava Siphon, Command Center or, Armories. You can also find Matiera in Cacticks, that are spread out throughout the map.
The Buster Sword R2R5
The Buster Sword R2R5 is more sought after than Kraber in the new Final Fantasy Apex mode. The melee weapon is exclusive to the game mode and allows for a completely new experience for the Legends. The featured weapon of the Final Fantasy Apex game mode grants players a light attack, a heavy attack, an upwards slash that knocks enemies up and a ground slam.
Although despite being the same rarity as the Care Package weapons, the Buster Sword is much easier to find. As soon as you enter into a match during the Apex Final Fantasy Takeover, you'll be able to see where the Buster Sword R2R5 can be found. Small, red loot indicators will be visible at certain POI's meaning that your prize lies there in wait. All you'll need to do is fend off the other squads vying for the blade.
Although the Buster Blade isn't the most fluid of weapons, but it doesn't need to be. The Buster Blade by far is one of the most fun weapons in Apex. The Weapon lets you dash around, hacking and slashing your way through enemies. However, words can't express how fun it is limit breaking on Wattson and air combo-ing a Wraith. You'll just need to go hack and slash at some Legends yourself.
