Het nieuwste seizoen van Apex Legends is vandaag live gegaan met Arsenal, en spelers kunnen een vernieuwd World’s Edge bezoeken en een nieuwe Legend, Ballistic, uitproberen. De patchnotities zijn beschikbaar en benadrukken enkele van de buffs, nerfs en algemene veranderingen in de battle royale-ervaring.
De L-Star EMG komt als onderdeel van de nieuwe rotatie in kratten terecht, terwijl de Alternator en Sentinel beschikbaar zijn bij de crafter. Vault loot is over het algemeen verbeterd, met meer kansen om gouden loot te vinden. De L-Star heeft aanzienlijke buffs ontvangen, ondanks een basis schadevermindering van 17 naar 16. Het heeft nu Disruptor Rounds, die 60 procent meer schade aanrichten tegen schilden.
De projectielgroei is ook toegenomen terwijl het terugslagpatroon is verbeterd en projectielen kunnen door doelwitten heen gaan en 60 procent van hun schade behouden. De R-99 heeft over de hele linie een vermindering van het magazijnformaat gezien, met één kogel minder voor elk type. Ondertussen vuurt de Charge Rifle nu drie schoten per magazijn af in plaats van vier en heeft een lagere spawn rate.
Bekijk hieronder enkele van de patchnotities en hier de volledige notities voor meer details.
