The update also includes some intriguing changes to specific characters and weapons, such as a significant improvement for Revenant and a
new passive ability for Lifeline, the game’s sole support legend at the moment. The ammo per pickup and inventory stack size of all sniper
rifles have been decreased with the exception of the Kraber, which has received a fresh buff and is now quite powerful.
The 4.2 updates will feature map rotation, which will include the current iteration of World’s Edge, Kings Canyon Season 2, and Kings
Canyon After Dark. We know players want to explore a variety of maps when playing Apex Legends. Ranked play will continue to be
displayed on the Kings Canyon-specific map for the current Series. Because we aim to keep wait times as minimal as possible, we chose
rotation over selection because we think that selection could have a highly negative effect on wait times globally. The maps will continue to
rotate rather quickly while we analyze the data and consider your input. To keep things interesting, we’ll occasionally include new iterations
of the Kings Canyon and World’s Edge maps that were previously released.
This new patch also makes quick work of several pesky bugs, including the especially annoying occurrences where the Ring would randomly
end in an especially bad or invalid location. The full patch notes are listed below.
