It also got a boost with the Shatter Caps hop-up, increasing damage per pellet across all draw strengths. The Bocek saw slight adjustments with its draw time (0.54 seconds, down from 0.56) and ammo amounts, with bricks granting 16 ammo (up from 14) and a max of 32 arrows per inventory stack (up from 28). The developers “reduced its hipfire spread” and made hip firing reset “slightly faster.” The tweaks mean to bring back some (but not all) of its hip fire strength to help it “feel more consistent in close quarters”‘ without overtuning it or balancing its “medium-range excellence.” The new values are:Įvolution touched on the Helmok, a once-ubiquitous weapon that fails to live up to its glory.

Respawn also increased its price in Arenas, effectively locking it out of the first round without interfering too much with its total pricing to upgrade.

The Evolution update also brings a series of tweaks to weapons, with the most thorough adjustments going to the L-STAR. The simulacrum’s Death Totem now has a visual effect “similar to the pulse on Loba ult placement” to increase visibility and pinging tracks with the tracker’s passive will show how old the trail is. Revenant and Bloodhound are getting minor quality-of-life tweaks. Respawn toned down his health regeneration to one HP per second (down from 1.5).

Octane also took a hit with his jump pad distance decreased by “10 to 15 percent,” according to the notes. The legend can set the turret down at any point, though, and it will resume to its usual state-and Rampart can’t pick Sheila back up. Although Rampart can switch to and from Sheila as long as she has ammo and doesn’t hit the cooldown time on the next ultimate, she only has one magazine in this mode. The legend can “run around with Sheila out” and “shoot while walking,” according to the notes. Rampart will now be able to carry Sheila into battle. Evolution also touched on a series of tweaks for a myriad of weapons, including the L-STAR and the EVA-8. Rampart will receive a much-needed buff, while Octane gets a nerf.

In addition to Rampart’s Town Takeover and heirloom, there’s also major balancing and quality-of-life changes coming to a series of legends and weapons. Apex Legends’ next event, Evolution, will launch with a series of major tweaks and balancing adjustments on Sept.
