Apex Legends 13th Season Patch Notes Now Nerf Fortified Legends

Respawn released patches notes detailing changes to Apex Legends' new 13th season ahead of its launch May 10.

Respawn Entertainment released Apex Legends Season 13 patch notes. There are many interesting changes in this season's update. Major nerfs are coming to both legends with Fortified passive abilities and the Spitfire, which will reduce the defense potential for characters such as Gibraltar.

Others legends will be tweaked too. Valkyrie won't be able use her skyward dive for bullet dodgers anymore, while Rampart's ultimate and tactical abilities are getting buffs. Continue reading to see the complete list of changes for Season 13: Saviors, which launched officially on May 10. A Newcastle guide is also available to assist you in understanding the new legend.

Legends and weapons

Care Packages will see the Spitfire lose its barrel mod slot, as well as decreased damage, increased reload times, and other important nerfs. Although the Devotion will get a similar treatment, it won't be nearly as drastic. The weapon will require longer drawing and holstering times and will suffer a slightly reduced damage. A slight decrease in power is being given to the Kraber. Its headshot multiplier, which will now be 2 instead of 3, will reduce damage by 5 points.

Rampart's Amped Cover ability gives more health and decreases the time it takes to deploy a shield. Also, her ultimate ability has also been buffed. Shilla's spin up time was reduced by 0.5 seconds.

There will also be changes for Valkyrie. Season 13 will be live. Valkyrie won't have the ability to spin while she uses her Skyward Dive ability. This exploit often leads to frustration. Valkyrie can sometimes activate her ultimate ability to spin and ascend to the sky. It allows Valkyrie to avoid bullets easily.

Headshots will be more efficient for Legends who have the Fortified passive. However, Epic and Rare helmets will get a buff to increase their headshot protection of 10 and 15 points respectively (Rare helmets),

Beyond bounds

The map's "out-of-bounds" area will prevent legends from using their passive abilities and other abilities. The map's "out of bounds" area is where players will be killed if they don't return to their intended gameplay area within a certain time. Once Season 13 starts, players won’t have the ability to use weapons, healing or survival items.

Loot and map

Both the Flatline and Longbow will be returning to the loot pool below the ground. The Rampage and R-301 will replace them in the Replicator. The Care Package will no longer include the Spitfire, while the Mastiff shotgun and Spitfire will remain in the loot pool. The Care Package will continue to be used by the Volt for another season.

Storm Point, Olympus and World's Edge are the rotation maps for Season 13. The devs also have these maps.
