Apex Legends dev explains why Revenant won\u2019t be buffed in Season 8 Respawn\/EAApex Legends dev Daniel Klein has explained why Revenant won\u2019t be receiving a buff in Season 8, even though players had been hoping the Synthetic Nightmare would be boosted. As the Apex Legends seasons have unfolded, and Respawn have added new characters to their popular battle royale, the developers have had to walk a tight line on who receives a change and why that is. A newer legend who isn\u2019t performing to their potential \u2013 like Loba or Rampart \u2013 can be changed just as soon as an original character who has fallen behind in terms of strength versus their previous state. In the case of Revenant, who was added back in Season 4, players have been asking for more and more buffs to make him a stronger legend in-game. However, those changes aren\u2019t coming in Season 8, and the devs have explained why that is the case. Daniel Klein, a senior game designer at Respawn, answered a number of questions from fans about changes coming to Apex \u2013 confirming that the next patch is coming in January. As a result, the attention switched to legend changes, to which someone asked about Revenant. \u201cNo plans for next season,\u201d Klein said in response to a question about the Synthetic Nightmare before following it up with a further explanation a few days later. \u201cYeah! His playstyle is what we call sharp: as in, success and failure are keenly felt, and when his tactical and ultimate work, they work so well they make the enemy MORE frustrated than they make Rev & his team happy,\u201d Klein added. \u201cThat\u2019s a dangerous pattern. He absolutely should be getting buffs, but we didn\u2019t have the time to find the right buffs.\u201d Comment byu\/paradoxally from discussion inapexlegends Obviously, this will come as an annoyance to players who still use Revenant, and would like to see him up there with some of the game\u2019s strongest legends. Seeing as Klein noted that he should be receiving buffs, there\u2019s no doubt that Revenant will be changed at some point, but it\u2019s going to be a while before we get to that point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
