NEW LIMITED-TIME MODE: GUN RUN

The final weapon in the track is a new exclusive throwing knife, which will be available in the firing range for practice during the event. Work together as a team and be the first squad to score a kill with the throwing knife to win the match! Gun Run will be available to play starting September 20th to October 4th on Skulltown and Fragment East (World’s Edge) maps.

With the launch of Beasts of Prey, we're further adjusting iron sights on some skins, including the Flatline skin, Heat Sink. Read on to learn about the team's approach to improving the competitive integrity of iron sights now and in the future.

Competitive integrity is and will always be a core pillar for Apex Legends. As part of that, our default iron sights are designed to push players to loot for better optics. We also believe that skins shouldn't be a factor in the sights functionality as well. During Season 4, we released the Heat Sink reactive skin for the VK-47 Flatline rifle and we heard feedback from some players that the Aim Down Sights (ADS) felt superior to any other skin available.

To make things as fair as possible, we wanted to address feedback for the Heat Sink skin and also update other skins we thought could be improved.

BEFORE

AFTER

Another example of a skin we’ve updated is the Flatline “Revelations” skin from the Gaiden Event. We felt the side fins were creating larger blindspots than intended so we’ve reduced them to improve visibility when ADS.

BEFORE

AFTER

We believe that any competitive edge in Apex Legends should be gained by honing your skills and not due to any perceived advantages from buying gun skins. As our good friend Kuben Blisk puts it: "You kill me, you're better. I kill you, I'm better." We hope players who own these skins will appreciate these improvements and support us as we work to keep Apex Legends fun and fair.

@Cheese9Man Cool skins, I am excited for the new gun game mode, yet still disapointed on the mediocre legend balancing

@MrCarri-X I have no other complaints on the balancing maybe except for Seer, Valk and maybe Horizon (just because I hate her). What would you buff/nerf?
MrCarri-X

@Cheese9Man Well, as a Revenant main I am still waiting for a slight buff, either give him fortified or remove the 3rd party beacon from his ult.
Also as you said, a nice tap on Seer's passive.

I hate Stormpoint and so does Respawn because they even got the name of map wrong. LOL.
And oh, no more tap strafing on those cannons.
Liked the villain Storm Front from the TV series, The Boys though.

@Cheese9Man I also saw this huge buff for Crypto concept on reddit, if you have time give it a read, is really good.

@Cheese9Man I really like that they removed tap straining in gravity cannons, especially on that new Storm Front map lol! Tbh they should disable horizons passive to, it can get a little op when cannon meets infinite movement.

@Cheese9ManLove the skins especially Horizons. That being said, I can see these skins creating issues where players won't recognize their opponent Legends. Since everyone is completely covered up, experienced players should have no issue. Just a minor potential problem I could see some players having.

@DankToliet I had the same thought. Half of these I can't even identify which legend I'm seeing in the screenshot.

Is that tracker for the 2 whole weeks, or just the first week? Cause if it's 2 weeks, I can log in, start drop, drop game, do that 4 more times, and get it mostly done without actually engaging with this broken team game...
