Mirage is getting some \u201cscary\u201d buffs in Apex Legends Season 7 update Respawn EntertainmentMirage will be getting even more Apex Legends buffs when the Season 7 update finally rolls around, Respawn has confirmed, after the Holographic Trickster\u2019s rework in Season 5 didn\u2019t work as well as the devs were hoping. [jwplayer rSmq5Fo4] The Holographic Trickster has had a rough ride of it since debuting in Apex Legends all the way back in the battle royale\u2019s surprise launch. The main issue Mirage has faced is his \u201cgotcha!\u201d tactics only work on those who are not prepared. Once Apex Legends players became used to the trickster\u2019s fake holograms he took a steep dip in overall win rate. His play rates soon followed too. Respawn tried to help, shipping a rework in Season 5, but he still floundered. The issue has gotten so bad for Mirage that the developers are taking another look at the way his ultimate works, just two seasons after patch 5.0 shipped live. Luckily, they think they have a way of pumping some power into his ability kit. Apex Legends developer Daniel Klein was questioned on Mirage buffs \u2014 which Respawn has been teasing for a long while now \u2014 and confirmed they were indeed \u201con their way\u201d in patch 7.0.0. The Respawn developer said he didn\u2019t want to \u201cspoil stuff,\u201d including the Mirage changes, but did touch on some of the testing they\u2019d done for the Apex Legends trickster. These included new buffs for his ultimate, \u2018Life of the Party.\u2019 One fan suggested Mirage\u2019s ult could \u201cfire blanks,\u201d but Klein shot down that idea straight away. \u201cDecoys firing blanks is a nuclear option,\u201d the Respawn designer said. \u201cI have no doubt it would be effective, and powerful. The amount of damage it would do to combat readability and just sheer confusion, scares me. I\u2019m trying something different for 7.0 \u2014 [still scary], but not as bad as decoys firing blanks.\u201d These Mirage changes won\u2019t be included in this week\u2019s Halloween update, unfortunately. Instead, they will be added to the battle royale when patch 7.0 ships live in November. Good news though \u2014 the Season 7 update is actually coming a week sooner than Apex Legends fans were expecting. Respawn appears to have moved the release forward a week, up to November 4, and cut the Season 6 Battle Pass short. That means it\u2019s only a 14 day wait, from time of publication of course, until Mirage mains will get their hands on the \u201cscary\u201d new buffs for Apex Legends\u2019 trickster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
