Complete Apex Legends Season 29 Split 2 patch notes

Let’s start with a list of all the changes made to the legends.

Ballistic

Passive

• Ballistic now respawns with his Sling weapon in all game modes.

Tactical

• Overheat now only applies to one weapon.
  • If a player has a weapon out when hit by Whistler, the overheat debuff applies only to that weapon.
  • If the player is unarmed when hit by Whistler, it applies to the weapon in the first weapon slot.
  • Overheat no longer degrades when not firing or swapping to another weapon.
  • Overheat does not increment when swapping to another weapon and shooting.
• Overheat damage increased from 15 to 50.
• Overheat debuff duration increased from 12 to 15.
• Tactical charges increased from one to two.
• Decreased time between firing and when homing activates.
• The overheat debuff no longer reapplies if you hit someone who is already overheating, and you cannot apply it to multiple guns on the same player.

Ultimate

• Ballistic and teammates within range get a sprint boost when his Ultimate is activated. (Previously, only Ballistic got a speed boost)
  • Sprint boost will only apply a speed boost while sprinting and will not speed up other types of movement.

Upgrades

• Level 2
  • Extra Bullet: Gain an additional Tactical charge.
  • Trap Mode: When placed in the world, Ballistic’s KTactical lasts 15 seconds and deals 35 damage if an enemy walks into it.
• Level 3
  • Quiet Time: Ballistic’s Tactical no longer applies overheat. Instead, it adds silence and slow on hit. It also has a longer cooldown.
  • Killing Time: Now moved to level three, it still provides a 15-second extension to Ballistic’s Ultimate.

Pathfinder

Passive

• Pathfinder now tucks in his legs while riding horizontal ziplines.
  • This should make him a little harder to hit when riding on his Ultimate and other ziplines in the world. 

Tactical

• Tactical charges increased from 1 to 2.
• Removed the progressive cooldown, and it is now a flat 20 seconds.

Ultimate

• Increased launch speed of the zipline projectile.
• Reduced cooldown from 3 minutes to 2 minutes.

Upgrades

• Level 2
  • Field Research: Now grants all Recon perks instead of just the survey beacon scan.
  • Ringmaster: Now grants all Controller perks instead of just the ring console access.
• Level 3
  • Landing Gear: Grants more air control and faster recovery from hard landings. This replaces the 2 Tactical charges Upgrade. 

Seer

Passive

• Increased the activation speed of the heartbeat sensor.
• Decreased the interval time between heartbeats.
• Decreased activation time for unarmed ADSing 
• Made the delay when aiming more consistent between weapon and unarmed.
  • This means the heartbeat sensor will appear at the same time regardless of the weapon you’re using.

Tactical

• Reduced the delay between the launch and hit.
• Improved the slow on hit, should now halt faster moving Legends more effectively.

Ultimate

• Upon deployment, there is now a quick two-second scan of the area, which will highlight any enemy in the area.
  • Enemies that enter the area after it’s deployed will also be scanned for two seconds. 
• Cloaked enemies will now show footsteps if they are within the Ultimate zone. 

Axle

Passive/Tactical

• Knocked players can no longer slide across zip codes as Axle or while under the effect of a Nitro Gate. They can still boost through a Nitro Gate, but once the effect times out, they will slow down accordingly.

Upgrades

• “Super Slider” Upgrade no longer grants a second Tactical charge. Instead, it now grants Nitro Gate a five-second cooldown reduction and plus one max in-world count.

Ultimate

• Kickstart now displaces victims on a parabolic arc based on their velocity at the moment of impact, instead of straight up.
• Reduced enemy highlight duration slightly to better match stun duration.

Mad Maggie

Tactical

• Increased Cooldown from 22 seconds to 28 seconds.

Ultimate

• The speed boost granted from running on the pucks dropped by the wrecking ball has been replaced by a sprint boost.
  • Will no longer speed up all movement, just when sprinting.

Valkyrie

Passive

• Removed the recent improvement, which allowed her to land faster from skydiving. 

Conduit

Upgrades

• Level three
