All Legend buffs & nerfs in Apex Legends Season 8 update Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends has a ton of significant changes in Season 8: Mayhem as Respawn have updated several characters with new buffs and nerfs to Wraith, Octane, Mirage, and a lot more. Respawn have been ramping up to the new chapter of Apex for a long time, and it\u2019s finally culminated into the new character Fuse along with a packed Battle Pass for people to sift through as we jump into the next season. In addition to the changes implemented to several of the weapons in the game, the developers have made tweaks to a good number of characters as well \u2013 eight to be exact \u2013 all the details of which can be found below. Apex Legends Season 8 character nerfs and buffs Wraith Wraith has experienced the most success throughout the life of Apex, but she does see some changes to her hitbox in Season 8. Respawn is taking some inspiration from Pathfinder\u2019s Season 7 adjustments to help balance the character even further. Wraith\u2019s hitbox is now slightly bigger than before, but it\u2019ll still \u201cstay true to her model.\u201d She will retain the Low Profile passive, with most of the changes coming to body and leg hitbox dimensions. \u201cThe fact remains that her win rate continues to be at the very top as it has since day one,\u201d Respawn wrote. \u201cWith Season 7 hitbox adjustments to Pathfinder, we were able to control his power without nerfing his kit. We hope to do the same with Wraith.\u201d Rampart From the best to the worst, Rampart hasn\u2019t been doing so well in Apex, according to the devs. The devs are going to increase Sheila\u2019s range of motion from 120\u00b0 to 180\u00b0 and bump up her Amped Cover\u2019s health from 1 health point to 45. Respawn said that they\u2019re going to be \u201ckeeping a careful eye on this one,\u201d as it pertains to the reactive power of her wall, but something needed to be done to give Rampart more prominence in the game. Horizon While Wraith has historically been the most picked\/winningest Legend in the game, Horizon debuted right at the top next to her in Season 7. Respawn sees this as healthy competition, but are giving a slight nerf to her Gravity Lift that will increase the effective cooldown from 21s to 25s (15s cooldown timer will now start when the Gravity Lift disappears). The devs don\u2019t want to completely gut Horizon\u2019s power, though, so they\u2019re going to be monitoring how these changes affect her performance in the game. Octane The job just got a lot easier for Octane players who\u2019ve been trying to master the \u2018super jump\u2019 with the Launch Pad since Respawn redid the ultimate\u2019s mechanics to include a consistent way of performing the trick. Hitting the jump pad from a standing position will launch players along a high arc (the speed and trajectory of the old super-jump). – From a crouched position, players will launch along a low arc, meaning they\u2019ll fly lower but farther in the horizontal direction. – This gives Apex players a more straightforward avenue to get the different jumps off, opening the tactical possibilities for everybody, not just those who\u2019ve practiced a lot with this character. Caustic A quality of life change hit Caustic\u2019s Nox Gas in Season 8 now that Respawn are going to clear up any residual fumes on the battlefield once he dies: \u201cAll gas now dissipates as soon as Caustic\u2019s team is eliminated.\u201d This means there\u2019s going to be a new target on Caustic\u2019s back since it gives teams an active incentive to eliminate him first in a fight. Crypto Not much has changed with Crypto this time around, but players can no longer stick arc stars to his Surveillance Drone, negating the bomb-delivery service that people have been slightly abusing since it was discovered. Loba Loba\u2019s passive \u2018Eye for Quality,\u2019 and by extension her Black Market Boutique, can now take a peek inside unopened Care Packages. The devs have expanded the High Society Thief\u2019s ability to steal the Arena\u2019s loot with the change, making her haul a bit more valuable to team comps. Mirage Mirage\u2019s decoys will officially have footsteps in Apex Legends. Previously this change was announced in the Fight Night patch notes, though the studio admitted the notification went out early and should have been saved for Season 8. Those are the complete changes coming to Apex Legends Season 8 update once the patch officially lands on Tuesday, February 2, at 10 AM PT \/ 1 PM ET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
