Apex Legends producer confirms a Pathfinder buff is in the works

Apex Legends producer Josh Medina has confirmed that Pathfinder will be getting "some love" soon in response to fans complaining about recent nerfs.

Everyone's favourite robot (sorry Revenant) was hit with a massive nerf at the start of Season 5, increasing the cooldown on his tactical ability from 15 seconds to 35. At the time, Respawn said the huge increase was to ensure Pathfinder couldn't use his Grapple twice in one firefight, but fans thought the change was extreme and his usage dropped off in tournaments, Apex Legends ranked, and even casual games.

Season 6 also sees Pathfinder's fellow Recon Legends Bloodhound and Crypto given the ability to use Recon Beacons, which in previous seasons was a trait unique to Pathfinder. The beacons give valuable intel on the next ring location, and Crypto's drone can scan them instantaneously, making him a better choice than Pathfinder. Bloodhound was also on the receiving end of a handful of buffs, making them a strong choice of Recon Legend.
