We’ve seen plenty now of Apex Legends Seer, but we now have the official details of his abilities that put his microdrones to good use.

His passive ability, the Heart Seeker, allows Seer to visualise and hear nearby heartbeats within a certain radius while aiming down sights. It also allows him to ADS without a weapon.

His Focus of Attention Tactical summons microdrones to emit a blast that interrupts actions and reveals enemy locations and health bars.

His ultimate ability, Exhibit, deploys a sphere of microdrones that reveals the footsteps of enemies moving quickly and firing weapons inside. 

He’s also a recon character, meaning he can scan survey beacons to reveal the location of the next ring.

The new LMG is a real beast. The Rampage is high-powered with a slow fire-rate, but with massive damage output. The fire rate can be increased by inserting a thermite grenade, making it something that can do some serious damage.

It has some incredible potential, even being powerful enough to destroy doors, so it’s interesting to see what this gun will do to the meta of the game.

Here we go. What is most important to many players is the buffs and nerfs that legends will be getting, and season 10 has a lot to offer. Here’s every legend change coming in the new season:

• Fuse’s Motherlode ultimate has been buffed to allow all enemies being caught in the ring of fire to be revealed to their team. His knuckle cluster’s explosion duration has increased by 100%, and his Grenadier passive can be toggled on or off depending on player preference.

• Horizon’s Black Hole has been nerfed, reducing the slow after its initial pull. But, her gravity lift-up speed has been brought up to 9.1, a medium between what it was and how it was during the Legacy update.

• Revenant’s Death Totem has had some changes - there’s now a visual and audio cue when it is about to end that can be seen and heard by other players, and a brief slow has been added after being recalled to the totem.

• Caustic’s gas damage now begins at 5 and increased by 1 every other tick indefinitely, meaning there’s no limit to how intense it can become. His tactical cool-down has been reduced to 20 seconds, and his ultimate cooldown has been reduced to 3 minutes. However, it now only lasts for 15 seconds.

Plus, there are a few changes to abilities for Arenas too. Horizon’s Gravity Lift’s starting charges have been reduced from 2 to 1, while Mirage’s Psyche Out and Bloodhound’s free scans in Beast of the Hunt form have come down from 3 to 2.

The weapons of Apex Legends are set to change a lot this update, not only bringing new changes to weapon rotations, but also to attachments. Here’s how it works -

• The Prowler is now back in floor loot, and the Spitfire will be taking its place in loot boxes, joined also by the Alternator.
• The Boosted Loader hop up for the Hemlok and Wingman allows reloading speed to be increased if reloading before the clip is empty, and gives extra rounds. But, to make room for it, the Anvil Reciever and Quickdraw Holster are entering the vault.
• The Fully Kitted rotation has changed, adding the Peacekeeper, Rampage, RE-45, Flatline and Charge Rifle, but removing the Wingman, Bocek, R99, Hemlock and Sentinel.
• Reload speed increases that would usually come with new magazines are now switched to stocks. Marksman weapons now take Sniper stocks, and they’ll also provide increased stability and sway reductions with slightly reduced handling bonuses.

• The L-Star now takes energy magazines that allow it to fire for longer before cooldown, and allows the cool-off to build slightly faster. They also take barrels for recoil reduction, have a new reduced VFX scale, have had an animation change when being hit in first person, and has had a hipfire spread increase.
• The headshot multiplier of all LMGs has been reduced from 2.0 to 1.75, but the limb shot multiplier has increased to 0.85.
• The handling time of all pistols has been reduced by 10%, but have had their handling improved.
