Apex Legends Season 11 update: Patch notes, new map, Ash, more Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 11 starts today, with the big update releasing for all players on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. Here are the Season 11 update times and full patch notes for Escape. Season 11 will be one of the more substantial new season releases in Apex, mainly because it includes the fourth battle royale map: Storm Point. This tropic island map looks stunning, but is also full of dangerous wildlife to look out for. The new Legend is Ash \u2013 a character originally from Titanfall 2 that has now made her mark in the Apex Games in multiple ways. And she\u2019s bringing with her another TF2 throwback in the form of the C.A.R. SMG. Apex Legends Season 11 update time The Season 11 update for Apex Legends will release on November 2 at 10am PT \/ 1pm ET \/ 5pm UK \/ 6pm CEST. This is the standard time for Apex updates. However, PlayStation players can pre-load the update already, by checking for an update on their game system. Season 11 update size The update size for the PlayStation pre-load is approximately 43GB. However, update sizes vary, and may be different on other platforms. Considering there\u2019s a whole new map to download, this update is a pretty big one, so you\u2019ll need to consider how long it might take your system to download the new files. Apex Season 11 patch notes BATTLE ROYALE MAP ROTATION For the Escape update the map rotation will be back down to 2 maps; Storm Point and World\u2019s Edge. With Storm Point being a whole new map, we want to make sure players have plenty of time to master the new arena. ARENAS MAP ROTATION With the introduction of Encore, the Arenas map rotation will now include only the custom made Arenas maps. We will not be using BR locations for Arenas in the Escape update. BALANCE CHANGES WATTSON Dev Note General Improved the reliability and responsiveness of placing Wattson\u2019s Tactical and Ultimate in-world objects. – Wattson can place her Tactical and Ultimate objects on valid surfaces above Wattson\u2019s eye level (to a reasonable extent). – General hitbox size increase, to compensate for the removal of low profile in the Legacy update. – Tactical \u2013 Perimeter Defense Increased damage on crossing a Fence by 33%. (15 to 20) – Increased debuff duration on crossing a Fence by 100%. (1.5 to 3 seconds) – Increased the time allowance to be hit again by a subsequent Fence effect by 100%. (0.5 to 1 second). – Decreased recharge time by 50% (30 to 15 seconds). – Increased placement range by 50%. – Decreased the delay between Fences shutting off and reactivating after an ally passes through them by 60%. (1.0 -> 0.4 seconds) – Wattson now moves at Unarmed-speed while readying\/placing Fence nodes. – Fence nodes can now be placed as soon as the weapon is readied, instead of waiting for the animation to finish. – Ultimate \u2013 Interception Pylon The Pylon output has been significantly reworked. Reduced the number of active Pylons Wattson can place from 3 to 1. – The Pylon now lasts forever (instead of timing out after 90 seconds). – The Pylon now has a pool of 250 Shields that can be distributed to nearby players, instead of effectively infinite Shields. – Increased the Pylon shield recharge rate by 150%, and smoothed regen rate. (2\/second -> 5\/second, or more accurately: 1\/0.5 seconds -> 1\/0.2 seconds) – When a Pylon is out of Shields, it no longer recharges players\u2019 Shields, but can still zap incoming ordnance. – Taking damage while regenerating Shields via the Pylon delays continued regeneration by 1 second. – – The UI on the ground and HUD elements now displays the amount of Shields that remain in the Pylon. – Pinging a friendly Pylon will now display the percentage of Shields remaining in the Pylon. – Pylon ordnance-zapping has been moderately reworked. Ordnance is now zapped when the Pylon detects that it would hit any surface within range and line of sight of the Pylon, instead of being zapped as soon as it comes within range. – As a part of the changes, current issues where the Pylon doesn\u2019t reliably zap ordnance (particularly concerning airstrike abilities, and ordnance that bounced off surfaces near the Pylon) should now be addressed. – – BALANCE CHANGES: WEAPONS \/ GEAR SUPPLY DROP ROTATION This season the Triple-Take returns to floor loot and taking its place is the G7 Scout. The Scout enters the Supply Drop with its old friend the Double-Tap Trigger equipped. – HOP UPS Dual Shell \u2013 Each round loaded into the Mastiff or the 30-30 Repeater is doubled. – FULLY KITTED
