Season 15 Patch Notes

@Cheese9Man watched the playApex, it looks sooo good.

Screen grab of new map

@hayhor
What's not in there is probably more interesting than what is, but as to what they actually did...

Positive
Round 1 pre shrink timer increased to 90 seconds
New map looks good. Abbreviating it as BM makes it even better because either the devs didn't notice or did it on purpose.
Catalyst looks decent and not the builder everyone thought would turn Apex into Fortnight
Re45 with Disruptor rounds in CP
Map rotation...and the world rejoiced at Storm Point being vaulted
R99 buff
Anvil receiver added for r301 & Flatline (ouchie)

Increase to ranked level min up to 20 is good but not enough.  I think 50 is probably better as others have suggested.

Neutral
Weapons crafter changes
Stickers could be negative, I'm just meh
L-star & Volt changes
QOL stuff good but not enough
Bug fixes were minor but annoying if you experienced them

Negative
Gifting will set off the community about EA cash grabs
Removal of Hammerpoints from floor loot

@Kyldenar lots of sniping 😃

Massive purge/ban wave of arena preds for cheating. They might announce this soon. 

🤣🤣🤣 See, they did exactly what I called. The only reason they set the ring timer to 60, which was obviously too low, was so they could set it at 90 and everyone would just let out a sigh of relief that it was no longer 60 and just eat a permanent decrease. Doubt this helps alot though.

I can't seem to find the section about the Valk/Seer/Vantage/Gibby nerfs. 🧐 Or anything at all that would make BR playable. 😒

Oh, and interesting bug fix for KC. A map that's not even in rotation. 

Any news on when I can play Control/GR? Guess I'm not coming back until then.

PS5 24.2 GB update available to download in advance as usual.
