Apex Legends: Major Update Patch Notes

Apex Legends has taken the gaming world by storm with over 50 million unique players since its launch a month ago.

The first major balance patch has arrived with changes to some of the more popular weapons in the game and some future promises for Battle Pass and Season 1 balance changes too.

Apex Legends Patch Notes

Wingman changes

The Wingman has been one of the strongest guns in the game since launch, these changes set it back a little bit – but it still remains one of the most powerful weapons you can find.

Peacekeeper changes

The Peacekeeper was perhaps a little too versatile when paired with a choke, so these changes will hopefully set it back into line.

General Weapon Changes

Rather than going overboard and cutting the legs out of weapons or items with balance changes, making them harder to come across will help alleviate the problem while still keeping the weapons strong – but hopefully not too strong.

Apex Legends Season 1 Changes

A few major balance changes for Season 1 were announced too, fixing some of the more obvious issues with balance around the game:

Changes to Legend’s hitboxes has been at the forefront of the community’s mind for a while, with the three mentioned being a much larger target to hit for enemy players.
