Hey Legends! Patch notes for Season 20 are now live! Check out the full breakdown of each Legend's upgrade trees, Ranked change details, Map changes, and everything else in our full patch notes below! APEX LEGENDS™: BREAKOUT PATCH NOTES - Answer HQ Apex Legends™: Breakout Patch Notes Though a more minor change, I personally can't wait to take Caustic for a spin and see how those improved running animations feel. What changes are you looking forward to this season, big or small?

I've been enjoying the changes this season quite a bit. It's been the most fun I've had with the game since I started playing around season 4-6.The Good:- The evo-shield rework is great. Less about luck, more about working as a team and doing damage. Since the concept was implemented, I've been waiting for this change. One of my favorite things about this season.- I love how anyone on the team can craft banners long as you have a support. While this game is a BR, it feels like a more fun and approachable take on the genre. It's the only BR that I have really enjoyed playing.- Crafters, just for banners, ammo, and heals is a great change. I didn't care for the weapons and attachments being in there. Solid change.The Bad:- The servers feel pretty awful at times. Nothing new, but it's getting to the point that there's no hope that it will ever be fixed. A lot of times I suspect cheaters messing with something causing the server to run poorly. I had a very questionable teammate one round, I saw someone get stuck in mid-jump, and I was able to beam them and get the knock. It reminded me of videos I saw when people were using lag-switches in COD games.- Lots of cheaters still. In Pubs and in Ranked.- Aim Assist needs to be further reduced. The majority of players I run into on PC are using controllers for one simple fact, aim assist. The game can feel kinda inconsistent at times with a mouse. Controller players typically either have the mic on all the time, or never use it. They don't seem to use PTT. It's very distracting to hear every cough, constant fuzz noise, and whatever else they have going on. Controller players also have a very distinct play style, rush in and barrel stuff em lol. They don't like playing mid-ranged fights because they rely almost solely on one-clipping someone up close. Aim assist IS the meta right now. Look at the Pro scene.Final Thoughts:A few reasons that hold me back from spending money on this game. Cheaters, poor server performance, and aim assist. Otherwise, it's the most fun I've had with the game in quite a while. Season 17 I think is the last time I changed because of all the baffling changes made. It was not playable what so ever. No one in lower ranked lobbies wants to go up against a 3-stack masters/Pred squad. I like that Respawn is willing to take some bigger chances at times, but that was awful. I hope we never have to endure that again, but I'm certain we will at some point.On a positive note, Great changes overall!

No Wingman as ground loot. Feels bad man.

Season 20 beats the last 6 seasons easily

personally i think the perk system is a very good start but they dont really change all that much, very good start but no one is picking up fuse suddenly because he has a slight speed boost when he hits a knuckle cluster but they are a good startloving the rest of the changes especially the armour ones

@KrazRr Per the tweet you would get diamond, not masters.https://twitter.com/Respawn/status/1776414670444015811?s=19

Alright, big elephant in the room, does the gifting feature even work or is it just being blatantly advertised without testing like usual ?

Lots of cool free giftable rewards coming up for sure!

Gifting should be back up and running normally at this point, but if you run into any issues with it after the start of the season definitely let us know here.

Do you still require a support character class on your team to craft fallen teammates banners?

@0mlu I assume you mean crafting expired banners "greyed out" in which case, yeah. Doubt devs will noob cater further to throw this out of class passives and let everyone do it freely "they already made it were as long as the support was on the team, any member was allowed to craft"

Correct, but more like "greened out" because crafting doesn't require expiration, just death.

Not just the patch notes! S20 is already out! Just too bad it isn't technically out yet, so PS is just slapped with "unable to connect" for the next 24 hours, I guess. S20 off to a great start.

I love the patches so far, but a bit sad about this change:
I understand getting rid of the Heat Shields... but getting rid of Ult items on the Tridents just feels a bit off... why would a change like this be made?
I loved being able to place Sheila on Tridents.
Whilst it wasn't particularly useful, it was quite fun to just drive around and gun players down with the turret.
Maybe this change was made due to the new upcoming perks, though even so I dislike it a bit.
@CCbathwater
Yeah that's definitely something.
This issue is being tracked by Respawn:

Let's hope this'll be fixed soon, otherwise players will have to enjoy the new pre-lobby screen haha.

"This option targets 120 FPS performance with content optimizations and reductions to visual quality.
Okay, yeah. Let's see if the 120Hz is worth the drop in graphics before we cheer. Wasn't worth it on Tiny Tina. Can't say it looks worth it on all PC Apex streams either. Some of them look to be playing Apex on a PS3.
"Crafting Rotation is no more, all weapons and loot are back on the floor"
Finally! Loot back on the floor. No more "you want a light mag or turbo charger? You have to craft it", that's progress.
"Gun Run: removed Charge Rifle, added Kraber"
lol Charge rifle was the best hip-fire sniper in this cringe mode, where snipers shouldn't even be a thing. Makes the mode even more misrable. GG
Can't see anywhere that auto shield-regen returns and replaces the horrible current system, that turned Mixtape into a running and healing simulator. sadge Let's hope at least the last few backfill PC's are removed from Mixtape then.
