Apex Legends is taking it back to where it all started in season 23 with the Launch Royale mode—but that hasn’t stopped the developers at Respawn Entertainment from also shipping a hefty balance patch to fundamentally switch the game up again.
The Lifeline rework will grab most headlines heading into the season, but there are also impactful changes for all support characters, huge buffs to characters like Gibraltar and Newcastle, and weapon changes that are going to switch up the battle royale in a big way.
