Apex Legends map change and Arenas update

The defensive Apex Legends character Rampart has also pulled out all the stops to set up her dream mod shop - Big Maude, a huge tank located near the lava city in World’s Edge. This building which is built in a paintball course is big enough for a few teams to fight. One can expect a lot of early-game engagement, with enough loot and cover to have evenly contested gunfights.

Inside the Arenas game mode, players will be able to buy Rampart’s custom modded weapons from the all-new Vend-it Machines by collecting materials. These weapons are slightly expensive but they are completely kitted weapons available at different tiers. Aside from these, Rampart will also offer completely kitted versions of the base weapon at a discount. The base version will not be available as the marked-down modded weapon takes its place.

Balance changes and quality of life updates

Along with the character updates, the devs have brought in a few changes to weapons including the Bocek bow, Hemlock, L-Star, and the Eva-8. Bocek’s draw speed will be reduced from 0.56s to 0.54s and they have increased arrows per brick from 14 to 16 as well as arrows per inventory stack from 28 to 32.

In Apex Legends, L-Star became the new weapon meta and the devs took note of it. They have nerfed it by increasing the cool time and have increased the price of the weapon in Arenas game mode as well. Eva-8 will also receive a nerf, reducing the headshot multiplier from 1.5 to 1.25 which will be the same as the Peacekeeper and Mozambique.

Specific updates have been made to the quality of life in an attempt to improve the overall gameplay along with the changes mentioned above. Players will no longer have to long-press while switching from red EvoShield to gold armor. While looting a deathbox, one can also see the EvoShield’s health. The out-of-bounds timer has been reduced from 30 seconds to 15 seconds as well. The Early Leaver will also provide a warning prompt in a different color which will catch your attention and warn you if you leave before your teammates are dead. Along with that, the match abandonment penalty will also be visibly displayed in red.
