Apex Legends Patch Notes: Ignite Mid-Season Complete Patch Notes

The R99 SMG had its damage reduced from 12 to 11. This subtle change could push the R99 out of favor compared to alternatives.

• Damage reduced to 11 (was 12)

CAR SMG also took a damage nerf, from 13 down to 12. It remains to be seen how much this impacts the CAR's viability.

• Damage reduced to 12 (was 13)

The Mastiff shotgun received several buffs - faster reload times, quicker draw time, etc. This could help the Mastiff compete with the other weapons a bit more.

• Tactical reload time reduced to 0.9 (was 1.03)
• Empty reload time reduced to 1.6 (was 1.7)
• Draw Time reduced to 0.45 (was 0.8)

Her ability pierce spikes is tweaked - the spikes now require line-of-sight to activate. 

• Piercing Spikes
  • Now require line-of-sight to an enemy player to activate
  • Spikes that have not been activated will still slow players

Improved Horizon audio to make “falls” less silent

• Hard landing audio adjusted to match other legends
• Soft Landings now play audio in the world 
• Gravity Lift exit audio range increased to make it easier to hear characters who exit

• Castle Wall: impact will now destroy Conduit’s Energy Barricade mines

Rampart's Amped Walls got a nice boost - they are no longer destroyed by friendly Crypto EMP blasts or Maggie's Wrecking Ball. This should help Rampart set up more reliability.
