Apex Legends devs still planning more Horizon nerfs after Chaos Theory changes Respawn EntertainmentHorizon was hit with a nerf to her ultimate in the Apex Legends Chaos Theory update. However, Respawn aren\u2019t satisfied. The devs are planning more nerfs to the Gravitational Manipulator, targeting her Gravity Lift. Horizon was one of numerous Legends hit with a pretty hefty set of changes in the Apex Legends Chaos Theory update. The Gravitational Manipulator now has a longer cooldown on her Black Hole ultimate, up from two minutes to three. However, the community was disappointed Respawn didn\u2019t nerf her tactical ability, Gravity Lift, which many believe is the reason why Horizon is top-tier. The devs haven\u2019t forgotten about it though. In fact, they\u2019re still planning more nerfs to Horizon and her Gravity Lift specifically to bring her back into line. The reason why they didn\u2019t in the latest update was because they didn\u2019t have enough time.

That\u2019ll change, but the proper way to do that takes a little time.\u201d The devs also admitted that Horizon\u2019s ultimate isn\u2019t the big reason behind the Legend\u2019s success. However, the ultimate change was easy enough to ship for this patch. \u201cHer ult is definitely not the bigger problem. That was just the change that was ready for 8.1. Her tactical is absolutely the bigger problem, but the nerf for that wasn\u2019t ready in time for this patch,\u201d Klein added. It means, just like Gibraltar and his arm shield, that more changes should be expected for Horizon in Season 9. What exactly will be hit \u2014 duration of lift, cooldown, or otherwise \u2014 is yet to be determined, but it\u2019ll knock her down a peg.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
