Apex Legends’ <\/em>20th season will have big implications for legend balance, and not just for its revamps of the game’s systems. Respawn Entertainment will adjust Bangalore, Digital Threat sights, and the 30-30 Repeater to trim their prominence in the meta once the season releases.<\/p>
The 30-30 has dominated the pro scene<\/a> recently, boasting an astonishing cumulative playtime over the first weeks of the competition this year. It sits comfortably at the top of the charts in all four regions, with more playtime than the second, third, and fourth-place weapons combined, according to data from Apex Legends <\/em>Status<\/a>. Apex<\/a><\/em> game designer John Larson teased some nerfs for the weapon at a press event last week, though he didn’t specify what the team will touch on.<\/p>
In addition to the 30-30, the team is touching on x1 Digital Threat sights as a way to shake up the infamous “can’t see shit” meta<\/a>. These sights will no longer go on SMGs, being exclusive to pistols and shotguns instead. This “should shake things up” in a Bangalore-centric meta, he said.<\/p>
