The tenth season of Apex Legends will include the new Legend Seer, a major update to the World’s Edge map, as well as the introduction of Ranked Arenas.

The Season 10 update for Apex Legends will go live on August 3 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST.

In previous seasons, players on the PlayStation platform have been able to preload the update ahead of time.

For players on PC, Xbox or Switch, you’ll have to wait until the update time to start the download.

While we won’t know any of these details for certain until Respawn release the full patch notes, there are some changes that have been confirmed ahead of time.

With the launch of the Emergence update, we’re introducing Ranked Arenas.

To learn more details on how Ranked Arenas will work check out our blog here.

We identified two opportunities to help him that weren’t just “give him more damage.” We believe Apex is a gun game first and foremost and therefore want to make sure we don’t put too much damage into character abilities.

Dev note: There’s no doubt the nerfs Horizon received with Legacy were necessary, but given the benefit of time and hindsight we decided we probably hit the speed of her tactical too hard.

That said, we’re now convinced the nerf that dropped his gas damage to a flat 5 damage went too far.

This time we decided to let the damage scale a little more slowly.

Enemies will generally be dead around the time the gas reaches 11 damage per tick (unless you’ve been healing).

15 seconds is still a meaningful amount of time (and with the damage changes, 15s is long enough to kill someone) but it should hopefully make fighting a Caustic in the end game slightly less frustrating.

In addition to the Spitfire this season another weapon will be joining the supply drop: the Alternator SMG.

See how each weapon changes down below.

We’re shaving off some of that headshot firepower but adding a little back in by bringing up their limb damage?

The Spitfire takes its rightful place as a Supply Drop weapon this season.

We’ve hit it a few times in recent patches and we still want it to be a desirable Supply Drop weapon so we’re walking back those nerfs while making it much harder to access.

We’re buffing the 30-30’s bonus to reload speed from stocks to help alleviate one of the sharper pain points when running this heavy rifle

Care package changes apply to arenas: the Prowler and Rampage replace the Alternator and Spitfire in the Arenas shop
