What can players expect from the upcoming Apex Legends Season 24?

With the introduction of Apex Legends Season 24, users will receive the 6th Anniversary event along with massive Legend and Weapon balance changes. Since it's a new season, all player ranks will reset.

Besides the balance changes, several new features will debut, such as Arsenals. Players can acquire various weapons of the same type from this item. However, the type of weapon is random in every match.

Additionally, there are other significant gameplay tweaks, such as the shield cell stack tweak, TTK changes, the removal of helmets from the ground-loot pool, and the red/mythic-tier body shield. With season 24, one can only acquire the mythic-tier armor by equipping the red helmet. Helmets won't reduce damage anymore.

Moreover, Ash and Ballistic, the two Assault class Legends are set to receive buffs to their kit.

Lastly, the 6th Anniversary event will feature the brand-new Mythic R-301 skin. Unlike the reactive ones, this Prestige/Mythic-tier piece of cosmetic will feature various color combinations and interactable features.
