Big changes are brewing in Apex Legends, with a fresh batch of Leaks hinting at legend rebalancing, weapon rotation updates, and a brand-new set of visual ranked rewards that might finally let Players flex their rank beyond a badge.
Here’s everything you need to know about the latest updates, straight from the files — and all sourced from Hypermyst.
👹 Revenant Gets a Buff – Pounce Distance Increased
Revenant is getting a notable mobility buff — his Pounce ability will now travel farther than before.
- Increased Pounce distance = more aggressive gap closing
- Ideal for chase-downs, flanks, and repositioning
- Could make Rev even more dominant in high-skill lobbies
This update leans further into his Skirmisher assassin playstyle, and if paired with his other kit elements (like vertical scaling), expect more surprise engages than ever before.

🧬 Alter Loses Her Support Perk
In a balancing shift, Alter will no longer have access to the Support Class Perk — meaning:
- No more access to blue support bins
- No ability to craft ally banners at replicators
This likely reduces her overall team value, focusingher even more into a Movement-centric, high-mobility legend, and separating her role from legends like Loba or Lifeline.

🏆 NEW “VFX” Ranked Rewards Coming Soon
A completely new type of Ranked reward is in development — and it’s all about visual flex.
🎮 What We Know:
- No ETA, still a work in progress
- Wearable cosmetic items for characters
- Each rank from Rookie to Predator gets unique models and effects
- Customizable directly from your lobby loadout
- 100% cosmetic only, no gameplay impact
This could be a huge step for Apex, finally giving players a visible way to show off their ranked tier in-match beyond just badges and trackers.

🔫 Peacekeeper Returns to Floor Loot in Season 26
Confirmed via recent files: the Peacekeeper shotgun will return to the ground loot pool in Season 26.
- The PK has been locked away in care packages — but no more
- Its return will shake up close-range combat
- Expect meta shifts as players trade Mastiffs and Evas for the fan-favorite Peacekeeper
This aligns with Respawn’s usual care package rotation cycle, and it’s already being met with hype from long-time shotgun mains.
