Some big behind-the-scenes changes are being cooked up in Apex Legends, as new Leaks reveal class reassignments for Revenant and Ash, along with a notable nerf to Ballistic that changes how his tactical and ultimate work.

These changes could have a major impact on how these legends fit into the meta — especially in team-based compositions and perk utility.

Let’s break down the details.

📉 Ballistic Nerfs Incoming

Ballistic is finally getting his wings clipped a bit — and for good reason. His kit has been dominating in coordinated team play, and now Respawn is reeling in some of his more powerful Support elements.

🔻 What’s Changing:

  • Tactical Charges Reduced
    • Old: 2 base charges
    • New: 1 base charge
  • Ultimate Team Buff Removed
    • Teammates no longer receive speed boosts when his ultimate is active

This makes Ballistic far less of a team utility powerhouse, limiting how much value he brings to teammates during his ultimate — while also forcing more precision with his tactical.

🔁 Revenant Moved to Assault Class

Revenant has officially been reclassified into the Assault class, removing him from the Skirmisher category.

🧠 What This Means:

  • Rev now gains Assault class perks:
    • Access to red weapon supply bins
    • Extra ammo stacks
    • Fast weapon swap-focused utility
  • He will no longer use Skirmisher perks, such as scanning care packages

This change aligns with his aggressive, kill-chaining style, and now strengthens his mid-combat power curve even more.

🔁 Ash Moved to Skirmisher Class

Meanwhile, Ash is leaving Assault and officially joining the Skirmisher class, where many Players believe she always belonged.

🧠 What This Means:

  • Ash now gains Skirmisher perks, including:
    • The ability to see what’s inside care packages
    • Faster mobility-focused synergy with other Skirmishers
  • She loses Assault bin access and ammo stacking

Given Ash’s mobility-focused playstyle, this shift helps reposition her more cleanly within the roster’s class dynamics, emphasizing her ability to quickly rotate, dash, and reposition.

🔮 What This All Means

These tweaks show that Respawn is actively revisiting legend classifications as the perk system continues to evolve:

  • Ballistic’s nerf will reduce his dominance in squad-based compositions
  • Revenant’s new class emphasizes his push-heavy, aggressive play
  • Ash joins the movement-heavy squad of Pathfinder, Horizon, and others

More reworks may be coming as Season 26 (and eventually Season 27) progresses.
