All New Apex Legends Classes

All New Apex Legends Classes

It looks like Season 16 for Apex Legends may be a major one. There will be a new gun for the first time in quite a while, team deathmatch is finally getting added and there will be no new legend. But the reason for that is the dev team is balancing out a lot of legends and adding something brand new. Here is what is known so far about the New Apex Legends Classes coming to the battle royale.

This is a pretty significant change for Apex Legends. Redefining the way players will play each legend is not a small deal. They will be looking to shake things up and it couldn’t come sooner. With the decision to stop production on anything relating to Apex Legends Mobile, many felt like the main game was a bit too stagnant. These changes could be enough.

The new classes are listed below.

  • Assault
  • Skirmisher
  • Recon
  • Controller
  • Support

Officially the only thing that is known is that each legend will be reassigned to one of these five classes. Also, one of them will be connected to the new loot bin system that was teased in the announcement video.

That being said, there are leaks that have been coming out. Here is one from a day before the announcement. Listed below are the classes, what their abilities are and each legend with their new class. This is a potential leak and has yet to be confirmed so take it with a grain of salt.

  • Assault
    • Can open extra compartment in red supply bins.
    • Carry more ammo per stack
      • Ashe
      • Bangalore
      • Fuse
      • Mad Maggie
      • Revenant
  • Skirmisher
    • Can ping a care package and know its contents
      • Horizon
      • Mirage
      • Pathfinder
      • Octane
      • Valkyrie
      • Wraith
  • Recon
    • Can reveal enemies’ positions on the map
      • Bloodhound
      • Crypto
      • Seer
      • Vantage
  • Controller
    • Can scan beacons and reveal the next ring
      • Catalyst
      • Caustic
      • Rampart
      • Wattson
  • Support
    • Can open extra compartment in blue supply bins
      • Gibraltar
      • Lifeline
      • Loba
      • Newcastle

As one can see, some of these class abilities are similar to current passives and other abilities of the legends. One example is Lifeline’s ability to get extra compartments in supply bins. That means that there will certainly be a change for her.

It will be interesting to see more once it is revealed. For news, rumors and more about Apex Legends, please keep it here at The Game Haus!
