Apex Legends: Amped Patch Notes
Season 27: Amped begins with massive updates to Olympus, enhanced legends, and new gameplay dynamics. The new season invites players to join an action-packed experience full of changes and surprises.
Major Updates and Gameplay Changes
- Olympus Reworks: The map has been refreshed, bringing new areas and strategic tweaks for varied combat experiences.
- Legend Buffs: Valkyrie returns to dominate the skies, while Rampart and Horizon receive performance adjustments to keep the competition balanced.
- Weapon Meta Shift: Close-range battles rise in importance with the introduction of the Double Tap Alternator Hop-Up and a Gold Laser Sight for pistols and SMGs.
- Trident Updates: Vehicle interactions and features receive new fun tweaks to enhance team mobility.
Anti-Cheat Enhancements
Beginning in early October, the development team launched a new detection model targeting third-party bots. The results have already shown noticeable success.
“In just two weeks, over 1,000 bot accounts were banned. We saw a majority of bans hit Windows PC (71%) and Switch (21%).”
Detection spikes were expected as new technology identified automated accounts, followed by a reduction in activity after enforcement actions.
