Apex Legends Update

In a move set to shuffle the competitive landscape, „Apex Legends“ gears up for its latest update with balancing changes aimed at fine-tuning the roster of characters. The forthcoming Shadow Society Event heralds not only fresh content but a recalibration of the meta as several popular Legends face significant adjustments. Devotees of Conduit, Bangalore, and Revenant may need to adapt their playstyles as these characters will experience reductions in their abilities‘ effectiveness, particularly in areas concerning cooldowns and ability duration.

As the community prepares for the event's inaugural Lockdown Limited-Time Mode (LTM), expectation builds for the innovative gameplay it promises—a rigorous four-squad battle focused on zone control. Additionally, the Shadow Society Event will introduce new collectibles to the game's rich cosmetic inventory, including the Apex Artifact—a versatile Mythic Melee item. These introductions coincide with strategic changes across the board, including a tweak to Caustic’s gas attack, ensuring that „Apex Legends“ continues to deliver a dynamic and evolving battleground for its players.

Adjustments and Changes in Apex Legends – Shadow Society Event

Gameplay Rebalancing

Care Package Adjustments

Early game Care Packages no longer contain weapons but now include Seasonal Gold items such as the R-301 and Mastiff.
Later Care Package drops remain as before.

The rationale behind these changes is to balance the power dynamics in the early stages of the game by substituting gold-tier weapons for Care Package-exclusive weapons.

Uniform Weapon Availability

Both Assault and Marksman Rifles will now have consistent spawn rates across different zones.

This change aims to ensure a more predictable and balanced looting phase, with weapon availability no longer fluctuating significantly based on the location.

C.A.R. Rifle

Slight increase in ADS vertical recoil.
