Apex Legends

that implements significant balance changes to the battle royale game. This update, launched as June begins, primarily focuses on adjusting several popular Legends. The update does not introduce new content to the game but aims to rebalance the power of certain characters that players have found particularly effective in battle. Season 25 of Apex Legends, which started on May 6, introduced Sparrow, a new Legend. Sparrow is part of the Recon Class and possesses abilities including Double Jump, Tracker Dart, and Stinger Bolt. The Apex Legends roster now includes 27 playable characters. According to Apex Legends Status, Sparrow is currently among the more popular picks this season, with a 10.7% pick rate.

Apex Legends June update released: Here’s what’s new

As part of the latest update, Apex Legends developer Respawn has made notable balance changes to three Legends — Alter, Ballistic, and Conduit. Alter’s Ultimate ability received a nerf: the delay when following enemies through a Nexus portal was reduced from eight to six seconds, allowing opponents to capitalise on downed players more easily. Additionally, the Nexus reactivation delay doubled from 30 to 60 seconds. Ballistic also received nerfs, with his overheat damage reduced from 30 to 15, and his Ultimate no longer extending after securing a knock.

Conduit, on the other hand, has been buffed. Her Tactical cooldown has been reduced from 31 to 21 seconds, improving her ability to maintain team shields. Combined with a recent April buff that increased her health regen per tick, her overall utility in matches may improve, possibly influencing her pick rate in Season 25.Despite these adjustments, Ash has remained untouched, surprising many players as she still holds the highest pick rate in the game. Her mobility and Assault Class perks continue to frustrate opponents.In addition to ability tweaks, the patch has also addressed various crash issues and fixed Ranked Ladder bugs. With Season 25 nearing its midpoint, players can expect more significant updates in the weeks ahead.
