Apex Legends “Augments” Leak, System in Development ⇒ ALegends

Apex Legends is working on something big — a brand-new universal passive system currently known as Augments, and it could be one of the most ambitious gameplay shakeups the game has ever seen.

According to new Leaks, Augments will be selectable by any legend, act as in-match upgrades, and offer everything from wallrunning to double tacticals and infinite ammo. While it’s still in early development with no ETA for release, the leaked list of perks is already wild.

Here’s everything we know so far about the upcoming Augment system in Apex Legends.

🧠 What Are Augments in Apex Legends?

Augments are selectable passives that any legend can equip. Think of them like in-match upgrades that give your legend extra abilities, utility, or mobility, regardless of your role.

Key Features:

You’ll be able to select two augments per match
Rare augments take up both slots
You can pick them during a match
Augments may also spawn in loot bins and hot zones
Gold loot bins will have a 100% chance to contain Augments

They seem to act similarly to perks in other games, but in Apex’s case, you mix and match them mid-game, creating a more flexible and reactive playstyle.

🔧 All Leaked Augments (So Far)

Here’s a breakdown of every Augment currently leaked:

🔹 Utility & Team-Based Augments

Squad Heal – Regen items heal nearby teammates as well
Battery Printer – Automatically spawns a shield battery every 20 seconds (stops at 6)
Plus One Ult Charge – Grants one additional ultimate charge
Heal Overflow – Extra healing past max HP becomes shield;shield overflow becomes healing
Armor Overflow – After 30s of no damage, regenerates up to +25 shield in small ticks

🔫 Combat & Awareness Augments

Reload Expert – Gain 4 seconds of fast reload after cracking enemy shields
Combat Awareness – Scans for enemies within 200m, pings 3 times at 4-second intervals
Spotter – Pings enemies firing weapons within 150–200m on minimap
Deathbox Vision – On knock: refill 2x sniper or 3x standard ammo
Infinite Ammo – Grants infinite ammo for both equipped weapons; locks inventory ammo slots
Midas Touch – Likely upgrades your weapon to gold/max tier (still undefined)

⚙️ Cooldown & Tactical Enhancers

Reduced Cooldowns – Reduces ability cooldowns (self-explanatory)
Double Tactical – Use two tactical abilities (exact cooldowns unknown)
Scans – Currently undefined, may relate to recon tracking
Legend Expert – Undefined, could relate to class synergy or ult scaling

🧱 Movement Augments

Dash – Grants a dash ability (likely short burst forward)
Schmovement – +8% movement speed, double jump with cooldown
Wallrun – Currently undefined, assumed to allow wall-running like in Titanfall

📦 Loadout & Resource Augments

Ammo Stacks – Increases ammo stack capacity
Battle Prepper Heals – Undefined, likely grants healing on weapon swap or damage

🧩 Default Class Augments

If Players don’t pick augments manually, each class gets one by default:

Support – Squad Heal
Offense – Reload Expert
Recon – Combat Awareness
Skirmisher – Reduced Cooldowns
Defense – Battle Prepper Heals

This ensures every legend starts with some benefit — even if they skip the system entirely.

💎 Loot System Details

According to the leak:

Gold loot bins have a 100% drop rate for Augments
Regular loot bins and hot zones may also contain them randomly
Players will be able to select, swap, or upgrade augments mid-match

This introduces a brand-new dynamic for players chasing high-value drops — it’s not just about guns anymore, but passive power-ups.

🛠️ Still in Early Development

There’s no timeline for when Augments will arrive in-game. These systems are still deep in development, and everything is subject to change.

Respawn may still iterate on:

How Augments are found or selected
How often you can use them
Whether they’ll be LTM-exclusive or enter core modes like Ranked

🔥 Why This Matters

If fully implemented, Augments could completely redefine how Apex Legends is played. For the first time ever, you might be able to:

Customize your playstyle regardless of your legend
Wallrun, double jump, or dash as any character
Support your team with AoE healing or ult boosts
Build your own perk setup mid-game

That’s not just loadout flexibility — it’s a sandbox-level change to the Apex experience.
