Apex Legends bolts on extra Horizon ultimate nerf to Season 14 update

If you're a Horizon main looking at the Apex Legends patch notes for Season 14, you will have felt slightly aggrieved, with a couple of nerfs being dished out to the bonnie lass' ultimate. However, we've got some bad news for you, as the pain isn't going to end there.

A few hours after the release of the patch notes, Respawn put out a follow-up tweet with a rather glaring omission regarding Horizon's ultimate nerfs. On top of those outlined in the original notes, there is also a third (and for more significant) nerf to her Black Hole that has certainly got Horizon mains talking. "One more change that didn't quite make it into the patch notes: Horizon's Black Hole is now susceptible to friendly fire/damage," Respawn tweets.

Couple this with the fact that the NEWT at the centre of the Black Hole is now easier to take out by enemies after being made weaker, and you've got an ult that can now quite easily be wiped out by both the opposition and even your own squad.

Apex Legends Season 14 release time - when does Hunted begin?

Respawn Entertainment's free-to-play battle royale shooter Apex Legends is just getting bigger and better with the Season 14 update and we can't wait to dive back into a reforged Kings Canyon with Vantage - and Echo, of course. We know the Apex Legends Kings Canyon rework should shake up the meta, but when does that new meta even begin? If you're reading this and you want to know about the Apex Legends Season 14 release time, you're in the right place - we have everything you need to know below.

We know Apex Legends' Hunted season might not feel like its' largest, but there's so much to look forward to.

However, while it's all well and good looking forward to this, we still want to know when it's all being released. We need to start working on Apex Legends' new level cap - right?

Apex Legends Season 14 update might have made Mad Maggie meta

Apex Legends' Season 14 release time is looming and Respawn Entertainment has just shared the patch notes for this free-to-play battle royale game's Hunted update. While we already knew a little bit about what to expect from this Apex Legends update, one thing that hasn't been revealed until now are the exact buffs and nerfs being dished out to the game's legends. With Apex Legends patch notes now out in the wild, it makes for interesting reading - especially if you're a Valk, Gibraltar, and Mad Maggie main.

While many will focus on the huge and much-needed nerfs to Valk (and the surprising lack of nerfs to Seer, who grew massively in popularity throughout last season), there's one very interesting change to Mad Maggie that could be quite significant in Season 14. To combat her pretty awful pick rate, Respawn has buffed Maggie's Wrecking Ball ultimate - and it's about to piss off everyone it comes up against.

Not only has Wrecking Ball's duration been doubled and can travel twice as far as it used to, it will now deal damage (thus potentially destroy) loads of legend utility, such as Loba's Black Market, Newcastle's Castle Walls, and Caustic's gas traps. The biggest shock of them all? It can now take out a Gibby dome.
