With Season 8 just around the corner, we look at all Legend buffs & nerfs and everything else coming this season on Apex!
Character Nerfs and Buffs
Wraith
a hitbox adjustment to help balance the character even further.
Respawn:
“The fact remains that her win rate continues to be at the very top as it has since day one,” Respawn wrote. “With Season 7 hitbox adjustments to Pathfinder, we were able to control his power without nerfing his kit. We hope to do the same with Wraith.”
Rampart
Increase Sheila’s range of motion from 120° to 180°
Amped Cover’s health from 1 health point to 45.
Horizon
Gravity Lift has increased the effective cooldown from 21s to 25s
15s cooldown timer will now start when the Gravity Lift disappears
Octane
Hitting the jump pad from a standing position will launch players along a high arc (the speed and trajectory of the old super-jump).
From a crouched position, players will launch along a low arc, meaning they’ll fly lower but farther in the horizontal direction.
Caustic
ATTACK THE CAUSTIC FIRST
“All gas now dissipates as soon as Caustic’s team is eliminated.”
Sonar abilities no longer stop Caustic’s highlight vision.
Crypto
Players can no longer stick arc stars to his Surveillance Drone, negating the bomb-delivery service that people have been slightly abusing since it was discovered.
Loba
Loba’s passive ‘Eye for Quality,’ and Black Market Boutique, can now take a peek inside unopened Care Packages.
She can now steal the Arena’s loot.
Mirage
Mirage’s decoys will make footstep sounds.
