Image via Respawn Entertainment. Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2 is here. Fans have been waiting for this mid-season refresh for a long time, but the wait is now over. With a brand new mode called Arenas - Duel and the return of the classic 3v3 Arenas, this update has already become a fan-favorite. Besides this, the new Battle Pass has also brought many new skins for Wraith, Gibraltar, and many more. The update also shed lights on Ranked and UI adjustments as well. But the legend balancing changes have to be the most significant part of Season 25 Split 2. Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2: All Legend buffs and nerfs Many Legends in Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2 has gone through buffs and nerfs. | Image via Respawn Entertainment. In this recently launched mid-season update, Respawn Entertainment has laid emphasis on Wattson, Vantage, Ash. Despite being picked regularly in the competitive scenarios, Wattson wasn't liked by casual players. On the other hand, because of Vantage's sluggish Echo, her pick rate was dipping day by day. And Ash has always been a 'mid-tier' Legend, so her kit needed some changes as well. Besides them, Alter, Ballistic, Conduit, and Mirage got their fair share of buffs and nerfs as well. Here are all the Legends buffs and nerfs in Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2: Wattson – Season 25 Split 2 Changes Category Changes Passive: Spark of Genius 50% faster Ult accel consumption• Passive Shield Regen increased to 2s (was 1s) Tactical: Perimeter Security Increase fence node HP to 50 (was 25) Cooldown reduced to 4s (was 15s) Fences now slow sliding and jumping enemies, and consume cooldowns on Ash's dash and Sparrow's double jump Fences placed across doors will electrify the doors Stuns enemies when they open an electrified door or kicks it in Electrification ends if the fence is obstructed or the fence is removed, and restarts when the fence is active again Removed doors exploding when opened into the line of a fence Upgrades: Level 2 Falling Stars: integrated into base kit NEW Help is Here: gain all support perks (access Support Bins, faster revives with health regen, gain MRB with Banners) NEW Ultimate Conductor: damage to enemies is converted to Ult charge and knocks give a burst of 30% Ult charge Upgrades: Level 3 NEW Energized Healer: gain double small med healing• Power Pylon: double Ult HP, healing rate, and capacity Vantage – Season 25 Split 2 Changes Category Changes Hitbox Adjustment Shrank Vantage's upper body hitbox to better match her character model Passive: Spotter's Lens Can now ping up to 3 enemies at a time Can see the health bars of targeted enemy Pinging an enemy will reveal their position when further than 50m away (was 100m) Tactical: Echo Relocation Echo will auto-recall after you jump Faster jump activation time Increased base and max distance Echo can fly by 10m Integrated Bat Bounce into base kit Reduced time to redeploy guns after jump to 0.2s (was 0.5s) Widened the FOV that Echo needs to be in to jump to Ultimate: Sniper's Mark Integrated Ultimate Reload upgrade into base kit Ultimate accelerators are used 50% faster, and provide 2 extra bullets Laser is now hidden until Vantage shoots Laser lasts for 15s, timer refreshes with each shot Laser is now more representative of aim Upgrades: Level 2 NEW Controlling my Prey: gain access to Ring Consoles and zone overcharge NEW Improved Mark: marked enemy icon is visible through walls, briefly highlights enemies, and reveals their health bar to your squad upon mark Upgrades: Level 3 NEW Tactical Cooldown: reduce Tac's cooldown by 5s NEW Sniper Cover: adds Gun Shield to Sniper's Mark Ash – Season 25 Split 2 Changes Category Changes Passive: Predator's Pursuit Decreased dash cooldown to 8s (was 10s) Tactical: Arc Snare Slightly decreased tether strength when pulling hard (like when using movement abilities) Upgrades: Level 2 Dual Breach: moved to Level 2• NEW Charged Knock: gain HP regen on a knock Upgrades: Level 3 Ghost in the Machine: removed• Greedy Snare and Twin Snares: moved to Level 3 Alter – Season 25 Split 2 Changes Category Changes Ultimate: Void Nexus Chase portal usage warning delay reduced to 3.5s (was 5s) Chase portal activation delay reduced to 6s (was 8s, Previous Hotfix) Cooldown after usage increased to 60s (was 30s, Previous Hotfix) Ballistic – Season 25 Split 2 Changes Tactical: Whistler Damage on activation reduced to 15 (was 20) Damage from overheat reduced to 15 (was 30, Previous Hotfix) Ultimate: Tempest Removed time extension from knocks (Previous Hotfix) Upgrades Extra Bullets: moved to Level 2 Lasting Bullet: moved to Level 3 Conduit – Season 25 Split 2 Changes Category Changes Tactical: Radiant Transfer Reduce cooldown to 21s (was 31s, Previous Hotfix) Reduce recharge delay after damage to 1s (was 2s) Mirage – Season 25 Split 2 Changes Category Changes Tac & Ult Decoys now swap weapons when you do and also properly holster melee weapons Read More: Every weapon buff and nerf in Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2 Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.

Every weapon buff and nerf in Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2
(Image via Respawn Entertainment) The meta just got shaken (again). Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2 is here, and Respawn has dropped some slick weapon tweaks to keep the gunplay spicy. From subtle buffs to key nerfs, these mid-season changes are all about making sure no one gun dominates the lobby. Here are all the buffs and nerfs to weapons in Season 25 Split 2. All Weapon Buffs and Nerfs in Apex Legends Season 25 Split 2 Here are all the weapon buffs and nerfs in this update. Assault Rifles (ARs) Havoc AR (Previous Hotfix) The energy beast just got even spicier. Recoil improved – Way easier to beam now. Damage increased to 20 (from 19) – That extra point adds up fast , especially with turbo. EVERYTHING NEW in APEX SZN 25 SPLIT 2 (Wattson BUFFS + Ash NERFS & More!) Hemlok Burst AR Trying to make burst guns cool again? Maybe. Reduced burst fire delay – You'll feel the bursts hit quicker, making it smoother in fights. Marksman Weapons 30-30 Repeater This one took a Skullpiercer slap. Uncharged headshot reduced to 80 (was 86) Charged headshot reduced to 120 (was 130) Headshot fans might feel this one. Still deadly, but less punishing now. Bocek Compound Bow (Previous Hotfix) This silent killer just got deadlier. Explosive arrow hit damage increased to 55 (from 40) Increased fire rate – Faster spam if you've got the arrows. Max charge damage upped to 65 (was 55). Shotguns Mastiff No damage buffs, but smoother feels. New ADS firing animation – The weapon now returns to center screen quicker. While it doesn't change the damage, it smoothens the feel of ADS play, especially for close-range duels. SMGs Prowler Burst PDW The burst SMG got a much-needed glow-up. Better horizontal recoil (burst + full-auto) – More stable during both burst and full-auto. Reduced burst fire delay – Tighter follow-ups and higher DPS potential. BEST WEAPONS TO USE IN APEX LEGENDS SEASON 25 | APEX LEGENDS Sniper Rifles Sentinel A small, but impactful buff. Energized rechamber speed increased – Firing feels quicker now when you've juiced it up with a shield battery. Expect more follow-up shots in shorter timeframes. Not a huge update in terms of weapon count, but the changes are impactful if you're someone who actually pays attention to gun behavior (aka not just grabbing R-99 and winging it). Most of these buffs and nerfs are about smoothing things out and keeping guns viable without being broken. Also worth noting: devs have been rolling out small patches across Season 25 so far, so don't be surprised if more tweaks land before Split 3. Till then, adjust your loadouts, experiment a little, and maybe give Bocek or Hemlok another shot. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story. Watch Episode 1 here
