In this update, five weapons have received changes. Here are the weapons and what has changed about them:
EVA-8:
Fire rate reduced from 2.1 to 2.0
Peacekeeper:
Slightly increased pellet size
Choke up time reduced from 1.5s to 1.25s
Choked up shots remain tight for slightly longer when exiting ADS
Longbow:
Damage reduced from 60 to 55
L-STAR:
Reduced barrel effectiveness at all rarity tiers
Significantly reduced projectile collision size
Damage reduced from 18 to 17
G7 Scout:
Damage increased from 34 to 36
Double Tap added to Supply Drop G7 Scout
A majority of the listed weapons have been slightly weakened, with the L-STAR receiving the heaviest nerfs. As a weapon that absolutely dominated the meta, Respawn decided that it was time to kick this weapon down a notch. Hopefully, with these adjustments, Season 11 could be an enjoyable experience for all players.
Apex Legends: Escape is scheduled to begin on Nov. 2, and the patch notes can be found on the official Apex Legends blog.
