Apex Legends: Takeover Launch Thread (+1 Day)

Season 24 Launched on February 11th at 10 AM PST / 1 PM EST / 7 PM CET / 3 AM JST (next day)

Legend changes:

Ash: Her Arc Snare and Phase Breach abilities have been enhanced for better effectiveness and reliability. Additionally, her new passive, Predator's Pursuit, grants a short-range dash, allowing her to close gaps or evade swiftly in close-quarters combat.
Ballistic: Improvements include integrating favorite upgrades into his base kit, such as extra charges and sling leveling. His ultimate, Tempest, now provides a speed bonus, and his sling can carry crate weapons that utilize infinite ammo during Tempest's activation.

Weapon & QOL changes:

The Assault class as a whole benefits from revamped perks, including increased ammo capacity, dedicated grenade slots, automatic reloading of stowed weapons, and combat enhancements upon breaking enemy shields.
Weaponry across the board has been buffed to reduce time-to-kill, aiming to make combat encounters more dynamic. Defensive gear has been streamlined: lower-tier helmets have been removed in favor of rare, high-value helmets, and armor now caps at Level 3 (100 shields), with red shields available only as a Mythic Armor Upgrade Helmet.
To reduce visual clutter during gunfights, muzzle flash effects have been toned down, providing clearer visibility during engagements.
