For Season 16, Respawn is taking the time to polish all the champions in Apex Legends.
We recently learned Season 16 of Apex Legends will not be like the others. On the occasion of the four years of the battle royale, Respawn takes the opportunity to wipe the slate clean. There are no new playable legends this season, no sir. Instead, a major evolution of the class system. If we already knew it would include class abilities, Respawn hadn’t spilled the beans yet.
Apex Legends: Express Reclassification
Forget the old system. Now the characters ofapex legends will be divided into five categories: Assault, Skirmish, Recon, Control and Support. According to the developers, this redistribution of roles will better adapt to the evolution of the game. It is true that with more than fifteen new Legends since their launch, Annex A lot has changed If Lifeline and Loba were defending the Supporters colors alone, now they will have company in Newcastle and Gibraltar.
Here are the new classes as they will be played in Season 16:
- Assault: a very offensive class, who wants to join the crowd and make the gunpowder talk.
- SKILLS : To produce heavy fire, Assault Legends can store more ammo in its inventory. Additionally, new red weapon crates will be scattered around the maps. Raiders will be able to access a secret compartment that grants them “smart resources”, tailored to the game at hand.

- Skirmish: Agile characters who can easily flank you or escape from a tense situation.
- SKILLS : Skirmish Legends can detect and analyze remote support packages. They will automatically know the maximum rarity of the items they contain. Finally, if ever an enemy searches the box, you will be notified.

- Acknowledgement : tracking enemies and getting intel is his rave.
- SKILLS : Big change, Legends of Recognition will no longer be able to interact with consoles to know the next position of the ring. In return, they can interact with new objects, survey beacons. Beacons detect all nearby enemy equipment. But be careful, they will be notified that you are there…
- captions: Bloodhound, Seer, Crypto, Vantage
- Control : zone control and position taking.
- SKILLS : Control Legends steals an ability from Recognition Legends. Now they can interact with the consoles to find out the ring’s next position.
- legends : Caustic, Bulwark, Catalyst, Wattson
- Support : healers and protectors.
- SKILLS : Support Legends can access secret compartments in blue boxes to collect more healing and shields. They can also rebuild allied banners in terminals elaboration to put them back into play.
Meta didn’t end up changing everything?
To accompany this big evolution, Respawn will also influence the high-level meta more directly. Afterwards, clairvoyant and dog take major nerves. The latest from Seer will be more expensive and less effective. His passive, which allows you to hear the pulse of enemies while aiming, will also be audible to your opponents. At the same time, Bloodhound’s ultimate will no longer reduce the cooldown of his tactical ability. Instead, he will summon ethereal crows that will point you in the direction of enemies.
We can also mention:
- an advantage for Mirage. If picked up by an ally, both Rogues will remain invisible for a while until they draw their weapon. Additionally, any enemy that kills a Mirage clone will receive a ping.
- fan of safety rope, who will pick you up and summon their support pack faster.
- nerve to Horizonte, whose gravity lift will last less. Hovering in the air will also slightly decrease your accuracy.
- benefits for Ghost Yes Pioneerwhose abilities will take them further and faster, respectively.
In short, a great pack of changes that will profoundly transform the meta of Apex Legends.
We’ll be able to try them out in person on February 14 with the launch of the Season 16 festivities.
