Mirage rework finally released in Apex Legends Season 5 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 5 has launched, and with it comes the long-awaited Mirage rework. The new buffs include more invisibility, a longer Psyche Out ability, and a new ultimate inspired by Season 3\u2019s Dummies Big Day LTM. Mirage has long been relegated to Apex\u2019s bottom tiers. Originally locked behind a small paywall when Respawn\u2019s battle royale burst onto the scene in February last year, the Holographic Trickster has struggled to find his place in Kings Canyon. The main issue was that it\u2019s hard to fool other players \u2014 disappearing is all well and good, but when cloned copies of Mirage blatantly look like AI characters marching across the map like robots, there\u2019s not much room for bamboozling opponents. Mirage to \u201cget better at bamboozling\u201d with rework Respawn said it hopes the new rework \u2014 which Dexerto revealed was in the pipeline on April 9 \u2014 will finally allow players \u201cavenues to get better at bamboozling people.\u201d This has come in the form of more invisibility and a reworked decoy. The biggest switch-up comes for Mirage\u2019s Psyche Out tactical ability. The cloning part of the ability now mimics every move the Holographic Trickster makes, in a bid to make the copied versions of the player \u201cseem more life-like.\u201d The launch-legend\u2019s show-stopping ultimate, Life of the Party, has also been boosted by this Season 5 change. Mirage\u2019s top-level move works similarly to Psyche Out, but sends forth a half-dozen team of copied Elliott Witts instead. Finally, Respawn has added a healthy scooping of invisibility for the fast-talking Legend as well. He now disappears from sight when using respawn beacons, and reviving teammates \u2014 a bonus that applies to the downed ally too. The devs explained that they were looking to finally add \u201cmore depth to Mirage gameplay\u201d with these changes. While it\u2019s not clear how strong the Holographic Trickster will be in Season 5 now, they\u2019re certainly some welcome buffs. Here\u2019s the full list of updates for Mirage\u2019s abilities, including cooldowns and more: Passive: Now You See Me\u2026 Mirage now cloaks while using a respawn beacon and reviving a teammate (the teammate is also cloaked), in addition to cloaking when downed. – Mirage\u2019s \u201cYou got Bamboozled\u201d line will now trigger when you bamboozle an enemy, instead of when you release a decoy. – Tactical: Psyche Out Pressing the character utility action button allows Mirage to gain control of his decoy. – When controlling the decoy, it will mimic Mirage\u2019s every move. – Decoys now last for 60 seconds. – Releasing another decoy will remove the previous decoy. – Ultimate: Life of the Party Mirage deploys a team of decoys that mimic his every move (think \u201cEmergency Dance Party\u201d from DUMMIEs Big Day). – Cooldown 60 seconds. –<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
