Apex Legends Season 16: All Buffs and Nerfs Listed

Apex Legends: Revelry, the game's 16th season, is set to drop on Feb. 14. As part of the season shake-up, players can expect a variety of buffs and nerfs to effect their favorite Legends and weapons.

There's going to be a lot of changes in Apex Legends once Season 16 rolls out. The biggest one of the lot is arguably the changes to the game's Class system. According to Respawn, all Legends will be receiving adjustments, but also a rework to the Class system that's being called “Remastered Legend Classes.”

Players will be introduced to the following five Classes:

• Assault
• Recon
• Skirmisher 
• Controller
• Support

Each class is set to have "some kind of meaningful, unique perk." As an example, the perk could affect the way a Legend can interact with new loot bins or a new way to revive teammates. 

But with these changes, there needs to be some kind of rework for the game's existing Legends in order to pigeonhole them into one of the new categories. Players can expect a number of buffs and nerfs as part of Season 16.
