Apex Legends Season 22 will reportedly feature a red outline on enemies. This will help players spot enemies. The community has raised complaints about the spotting issue where enemies get camouflaged in the map environment, which leads to difficulty in combat. This problem especially happens in corners and enclosed spaces as they have camping spots for players due to the lack of visibility.

Apex Legends Season 22 will feature a new loot system where all the loot bins will get refreshed mid-way through the game. This system is similar to the loot system in Warzone. This feature will give all players a chance to replenish their loot and increase their chances of survivability. The map will feature Gold and Mythic bins with the latter being highlighted on the map.

5) Aim flinch

The aim flinch occurs when the character gets hit stunned while getting shot at. This is a controversial mechanic that is being removed from the game in Season 22 of Apex Legends. The flinch, however, will work normally within the zone damage. This will allow players to react to the incoming damage as they can counter enemies with zero kickback due to the absence of flinch.

6) Mantling

The Mantling or climbing mechanic is getting a change in Season 22, with players no longer being blocked by their teammates. This mantling system had a glitch where players got repelled from the ladder or object they were climbing over at the same time. This will allow the character models to overlap and mantle over objects at the same time.
