Skirmisher class updates with Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2 patch notes

You might’ve seen this one coming: it’s the Skirmisher's time to shine with our mid-season update. Many Skirmisher Legends are well known for using their mobility to either lead the charge into a fight or rotate early looking for one (leaving their allies behind). With this in mind, we wanted to give them a chance to turn that inherent nature into squad utility and allow their allies to keep up with their high-mobility playstyle. We also wanted Skirmishers to feel free to be more aggressive with their abilities—knowing that if they perform, they’ll be able to earn that free charge to quickly escape or stay in the fight longer. Our hope is that Skirmishers are more confident diving into a fight and staying alive if they do well, and their squad is more likely to be close behind if they don’t.

• Trailblazer: Your squadmates receive a speed boost when sprinting towards you
• Allies must be at least 20m away to receive this bonus as per the Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2 patch notes.
• Charged Knock: Skirmishers gain an extra ability charge and 50 HP regen on knock
• Extra charge lasts for 30s or until used
• Extra charge applies to all Skirmisher Legends’ Tacs except Octane, who gains an additional Ult Charge instead
• HP regen will first heal health then shields if applicable and can be interrupted by damage according to the Apex Legends Season 24 Split 2 patch notes.

Alongside these new perks, most of our Skirmisher Legends have received updates to their abilities, Legend Upgrades, or both. And the Skirmisher’s perfect pairing, SMGs, are getting some buffs as well.
