Apex Legends' Season 16 update might actually make scan meta worse

It's safe to say that Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter Apex Legends is undergoing quite a few major changes in Season 16. From a completely new Apex Legends classes to Apex Legends' Ranked playlist joining the map rotation, a lot of these changes seem like they're going to make quite a positive difference to battle royale fans' day-to-day gameplay. However, Respawn Entertainment is also tackling Apex Legends' infamous scan meta in Season 16 and we're just not totally sure the changes on the way are going to result in the undeniable improvement the developers are hoping to achieve.

As you might expect given the sheer dominance of the scan meta in Apex Legends' latest season, Respawn Entertainment is nerfing both Seer and Bloodhound in the Season 16 update.

Saving all the specific details for the next set of Apex Legends patch notes, lead legend designer Devan McGuire has shared that Respawn Entertainment's nerf is "aimed at reducing the overall frequency of scans in the game" without compromising each legends' identity.

Mysterious item in Apex Legends' Revelry trailer is perplexing players

We know there's always a lot to unpack when it comes to Apex Legends' gameplay trailers, but it seems like there's more than most when you look at the Revelry update gameplay trailer. From what Respawn Entertainment has shared regarding the update and the new Apex Legends classes, Season 16 is going to be big for this battle royale. However, there's still a lot Respawn Entertainment hasn't shared - and that's pretty exciting too. In fact, eagle-eyed Apex Legends fans are spotting a strange item in the Revelry gameplay trailer and it looks like it might be another addition from the Titanfall series.

As highlighted online by Pathfinder fan 'Dr_Willingham', the Apex Legends Revelry gameplay trailer which you can see for yourself below clearly shows a currently unknown item in a care package at around the 01:00 mark.

In the footage included in this trailer, we see a colourful Mirage jog over to a care package to pick up a Kraber - which is perfectly ordinary. However, there's a strange black container in the other visible care package slot.

Apex Legends Mirage buff gives bamboozles more "competitive viability"

A new Apex Legends Mirage buff is arriving in the imminent Season 16, with a core focus of making one of the battle royale's most situational legends a bit more useful and viable as part of Respawn's big meta shakeup.

Of course, most of this shakeup will happen by way of the long-overdue Apex Legends classes rework which properly divides the roster of legends into groups which have useful shared perks. However, another aspect is that seven specific legends are getting some tweaks to their kits, and Mirage is one of them.

"He is getting some unironic buffs this season in order to give him some more team utility and overall competitive viability," says lead legend designer Devan McGuire in a preview event for Season 16.
