Apex Legends Season 26 will soon roll out across devices with several new game-changing tweaks that won't disappoint players. From weapon rebalancing and legend adjustments to new game modes and quality of life improvements, this patch will definitely set the tone for what's about to come.
While we wait for the complete patch notes, EA has revealed a few of the things we can expect for this season's update. Continue as we discuss those details in the meantime.
Apex Legends Season 26 patch notes
While we wait for the complete patch notes to go live, here is what we know about the Apex Legends Season 26 changes:
Wildcard Mode
This is definitely the biggest addition. The Wildcard mode is a chaotic, fast-paced permanent mode that allows players to queue with duplicate legends. The mode features are a mixed version of Kings Canyon and come with gravity cannons, zip lines, streamlined looting, and even second-chance revives deep into the final ring.
Legend Reworks: Caustic and Bangalore
Caustic is returning with more gas damage along with a new field research ability. Bangalore's smoke will now reach doors and come with an EMP upgrade, allowing players to destroy traps and slow attackers for more aggressive pushes.
Amps and Elite Weapons
New passive loot named "Amps" will now be found mid-match, offering players powerful bonuses like infinite ammo, enhanced healing, or bonus armor. Meanwhile, the RE-45 has also been upgraded into an elite weapon with energy ammo and 3-round bursts, straight from Ballistic's armory.
Locked Hop-ups and Map Refresh
Hop-ups are now linked directly to weapons and are activated via in-game performance. A new Graffiti Mod is also being introduced. E-District is also receiving a major daytime overhaul along with brighter visuals, clear sightlines, and improved navigation paths.
Season 26 will also introduce a revamped ranked system, which will include POI-based drop zones and visible aura indications that are tied to your rank.
