Apex Legends' lack of legend changes for Season 15 is "frustrating"

The Apex Legends Season 15 release time is almost upon us and Respawn Entertainment has just dropped the latest set of patch notes for the battle royale shooter. As you might imagine, there are some changes worth looking at - for example, Apex Legends' Eclipse update is changing the weapon meta with a hop-up shake up. However, fans are finding it somewhat frustrating that there's a lack of legend changes coming to Apex Legends in Season 15.

When it comes to legend-related changes in the Season 15 patch notes, there really aren't any. Apex Legends players can expect to see bug fixes for Vantage's Sniper's Mark passive ability and a visual fix for Crypto's Biwon Blade heirloom, but nothing in the way of legend balancing changes.

While this does mean that our Apex Legends tier list is going to remain largely unchanged going forwards, which should help us place the battle royale's newest face, it does mean that everyone who thinks one legend needs a nerf - or another needs a buff - will have to wait.

Apex Legends Season 15 release time - when is the Eclipse update?

We know Apex Legends' Catalyst is Seer's worst nightmare - and Apex Legends wants Catalyst to appeal to every playstyle - but, we can't wait to dive into Broken Moon as the newest character in Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter. If you're wondering how long we have to wait to do that, though, you can find out everything you need to know about the Apex Legends Season 15 release time right here.

If you're wondering why you should care much about when Apex Legends' Eclipse update drops, all you need to do is take a look at what's coming. Apex Legends' new map Broken moon has been built with LTMs like Control in mind, but the devs are unsure if Ranked players will like it. However, with POI locations twice the size as normal and new Ziprails, this new Apex Games arena is shaping up to be a fantastic new addition to the game.

Similarly, looking at Apex Legends' Catalyst abilities, it's clear that she's going to be a fantastic new character for players looking to climb the Apex Legends ranks. Her unique kit can cater to both defensive and aggressive gameplay, offering fantastic synergies with Caustic and Wattson, or Octane and Horizon.

Apex Legends' Eclipse update changing weapon meta with hop-up shake up

The Apex Legends Season 15 release time is creeping up on us and Respawn Entertainment has just dropped a brand new set of Apex Legends patch notes, detailing some of the major changes coming to the battle royale shooter in the Eclipse update. One thing that's worth talking about is how the developers are taking on the game's weapon meta by shaking up the hop-ups that are available in-game.

If your go-to battle royale loadout includes a G7 Scout or an EVA-8 with Double Tap Trigger, you're in luck. This hop-up is going to remain as floor loot in Apex Legends' Eclipse update. However, as per this set of Apex Legends patch notes, it's going to be legendary floor loot going forwards.

Interestingly, though, this should be much more valuable to those of you using the light ammo marksman rifle. Going forward, the Double Tap Trigger hop-up should offer something of an improved recoil pattern when used with the G7 Scout - something we're sure a lot of fans will be happy with.

Catalyst is Apex Legends' most "VFX intensive" character yet

The Apex Legends Season 14 start date looms and Respawn Entertainment has been getting stuck in detailing exactly what players can expect from Catalyst and her abilities come the Eclipse update. We know Apex Legends wants Catalyst to appeal to every playstyle, but will she appeal to everyone's platform? Discussing Catalyst during a pre-season press event, narrative lead Ashley Reed shared that she's "one of the most VFX intensive legends" in Apex Legends right now.

But, if you're worried about whether this will impact performance - and whether your console or PC can handle it - don't be. Framed as something of a "technical feat" by Reed, Apex Legends' VFX team made certain that everything would work just as smoothly as usual when it comes to Catalyst.

Funnily, Reed did reveal that the "amazing VFX team... were worried when [Respawn Entertainment] showed them the Catalyst concept and described how she worked". However, "the VFX team really loved the concept and were onboard right away once they saw what they could do with [Catalyst's ferrofluid]".
