The Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2 update is just around the corner and the developers have officially confirmed the upcoming weapon changes. At the start of the current season, almost all weapons in the arsenal received significant buffs, increasing the pace of the game. However, the devs kept tweaking the guns to ensure they did not become overpowered and remained enjoyable.
The Apex Legends Season 24 mid-season update will bring more weapon changes to the game while swapping out a few names in the care package. The devs have been active throughout the Split 1 update and consistently provided patches to counter any in-game issues. Fans can expect the same to happen in Split 2 as Skirmishers receive new buffs.
This article will highlight the weapon changes in the Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2 update.
