Respawn Entertainment launched Apex Legends Season 24 on February 11th, 2025. The new season came with major changes in balancing and the game’s class-specific upgrades. The new season introduces Arsenals to the game. The Arsenals are located at every POI, and the ammo type contained is randomized for each match.
Each arsenal will have a white or blue upgrade of attachments. Gamers will be able to see the name of the POI in the sky with the names of the ammo type of the Arsenal in that POI. Matchmaking will also be improved using skill balancing to place gamers of similar levels against each other.
Season 24 also changes how combat and gear, such as armor and helmets, work. The new season will have armor being capped to purple (Level 3). However, gamers can access red(level four) shields with the new mythic red helmet from mythic bins and late-game care packages. The game also introduced damage buffs to all guns.
Additionally, Assualt Legends also get buffs that include “Auto Reload” of weapons stowed for over 2 seconds, 2 extra grenade slots, and 3-second movement buffs after cracking a shield. The game also introduced new skins for mythic weapons, such as the Mythic Wraith 301.
Season 24 also features other major buffs for individual Apex Legends, especially Ash and Ballistic. Ash now has the Predator’s Pursuit passive, which grants her an omnidirectional short-range dash and boosts her mobility.
Ash also has an extended Ultimate Portal distance and the ability to store two ultimate charges at blue armor. On the other hand, Ballistic can now use up to four Whistlers. Ballistic can also sling holster crate weapons that gain infinite ammo when his ultimate is active, maximizing his improved ultimate mechanics.
Respawn launches follow-up update as gamers lodge more complaints
Following the launch of Season 24, gamers online voiced their complaints over several bugs and issues affecting the gamer’s ability to play the game. Respawn quickly responded to the complaints while also providing a workaround fix to the EA crash issue. They announced that the EA App crash issue had been fixed a few hours after the studio had acknowledged the issue. The company also clarified that badges were earnable in the Mythic Mayhem Royale mode and that Redemption Trios & Duos had been removed from takeover and were to be added as an LTM later in the season.
Respawn announced that it had fixed most of the major bugs pointed out by gamers after season 24 launched. The new update contained fixes for tracking the Bangalore Smoke Launcher Challenge. The challenge required players to hit five enemies with the tactical ability and had been logged as incomplete for some players who had completed the challenge.
Additionally, a bug affecting the R-301 event badge was resolved. The R-301 bug had been failing to track damage dealt with the weapon, leaving many players stuck at zero progress regardless of their in-game performance.
The final patch also included fixes related to the Fast Charge Gold Helmet. The Helmet had mistakenly appeared in the game’s Battle Royale mode instead of its intended game mode.
As a result, the item’s appearance disrupted the game’s balance in battle royales, an aspect that many gamers complained about. The fix returned the helmet to its rightful mode and restored competitive integrity in Battle Royale mode.
