Apex Legends devs eyeing Revenant changes in Season 10 to curb \u201cRevtane\u201d duo Respawn EntertainmentThe Revenant-Octane duo has been divisive in Apex Legends, especially with the combo\u2019s recent resurgence. To try and curb its power, Respawn are eyeing more changes to Rev\u2019 in Season 10 to bring the pair back in line. As far as pairings go in Apex Legends, it\u2019s hard to come past a better duo than Revenant and Octane. The two hyper-aggressive Legends are made for each other, allowing for some pretty hard-to-punish plays with their mobility and durability combined. The combo of Revenant\u2019s death totem (and the second life), as well as Octane\u2019s pad, means you can take some pretty aggressive fights with no risk. As fun as it is to play, it\u2019s as infuriating to play against. From issues with Octane\u2019s audio making it impossible to hear at times, to the ability to launch right back in after being sent back from the totem, it can be pretty broken. Respawn are aware of it themselves. Developer John \u2018JayBiebs\u2019 Larson even said himself he \u201cfalls victim to the Revtane\u201d, just like the rest of us. However, they\u2019re looking at doing something about it in time for Apex Legends Season 10. \u201cRev is a cool character. The fantasy is cool. The goal of these last sweep changes was to lean into that a bit more and give him a bit more individual power because he sucked in one-on-ones. He was the size of a fridge and didn\u2019t have Fortify,\u201d he said on a July 12 podcast. \u201cThe design is okay, but a lot of the frustration stems from a lack of feedback in understanding when a Rev is in the area. Whether that be audio issues or feedback about where the totem is, it\u2019s hard\u2026to capitalize on a Rev misplay.\u201d While the team has discussed many changes \u2014 like removing the ability to take pad after activating the Revenant totem \u2014 they\u2019re looking towards smaller balance adjustments that can prevent Revtane teams from jumping back in right away after \u2018dying\u2019 the first time. \u201cThe easy fix is to make it so they [Revtane] can\u2019t use Jump Pad, but that\u2019s a very temporary bandaid and you could get around that with a lot of other mobility characters, now or future,\u201d he explained. The related segment begins at 22:20. \u201cYou get sent back to the totem, you have 50 health so you often resend. We can tune with that, we can tune with the visibility of the totem in the world because right now you can tuck it away in a room so easily. \u201cWith stuff like Loba ult, you know when she\u2019s ulting in the area because there\u2019s a big VFX. You know when Bloodhound is scanning because you can see the big scan. These are a couple of things we\u2019re exploring but we are looking in the right spots for the ultimate and the tactical.\u201d With audio fixes for Octane\u2019s pad reportedly being worked on, another slight adjustment to Revenant on top of his Genesis Collection changes might finally add a bit more counterplay to the Revtane combo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
