Apex Legends Season 24 Early Patch Notes – Massive Buffs, Red Helmets & More!
Introduction
Apex Legends Season 24 is bringing some of the biggest gameplay changes we’ve seen in a while! From every weapon getting a buff to Ballistic and Ash receiving major upgrades, this season is shaping up to shake the meta. Plus, the introduction of Red Helmets and the removal of lower-tier helmets completely changes how headshot damage works. Let’s break down all the key changes coming in the next update.

Weapon Buffs – Every Gun Gets Stronger
Respawn has confirmed that every weapon is receiving buffs to improve overall viability, bringing them closer to top-tier guns like the R-301 and Flatline. While we don’t have full details on each individual weapon buff yet, this change means a more balanced and diverse weapon pool going forward.

Assault Class Perks – A Major Buff for Aggressive Players
The Assault Class is getting three powerful new perks, making these Legends even more dangerous in fights:
Stowed Reload: Automatically reloads stowed weapons after 2 seconds.
Combat Reserve: Grants two extra inventory slots exclusively for grenades.
Battle Surge: When an Assault Legend cracks an enemy’s shield, they gain:
A temporary speed boost
Faster reloads
The cracked enemy is highlighted for their entire team
This makes Assault Legends much stronger in sustained fights, rewarding aggressive plays.

Ballistic’s Buffs – Insane Upgrades to His Kit
Ballistic is getting huge improvements, making him a much bigger threat in firefights:
✅ Integrated Sling & Dual Tac Charge Upgrades into Base Kit
✅ Tactical Ability (Whistler) now has DOUBLE the charge
✅ Sling can now hold crate weapons (Kraber, Mastiff, etc.)
✅ When his Ultimate is active, his Sling weapon has INFINITE ammo
This makes Ballistic one of the most lethal support Legends in the game, especially in late-game fights.

Ash Rework – New Abilities & More Mobility
Ash is getting a significant rework, focusing on more mobility and combat utility:
Ultimate (Phase Breach) – Travels farther, moves through it faster, and has better endpoint detection.
Tactical (Arc Snare) – Now tethers from its own location instead of the enemy’s position.
Passive (Predator’s Pursuit) – Data Knife removed, replaced with a new omnidirectional dash ability for:
Rapid repositioning in close combat
Closing distance on tethered targets faster
Can be upgraded to two charges via upgrade tree
Even though her Data Knife is gone, Ash can still see death boxes on the map, keeping her tracking potential intact.

Arsenal Stations – Full Weapon Customization
A brand-new feature, Arsenal Stations, are being added across the map at every POI. These stations allow you to:
🟢 Choose your preferred weapons & ammo types
🟢 Visible from the dropship & marked on the HUD
🟢 Randomized ammo types each match
🟢 Upgrade weapons with attachments & optics
This adds a new layer of strategy for choosing loadouts and adapting mid-game.

Helmet Changes – Goodbye, White, Blue & Purple Helmets!
All lower-tier helmets have been removed, and headshot damage is now a fixed value for every gun.
🔴 New Mythic Helmet introduced:
Overrides armor to Red
No headshot damage reduction
Ultra-rare (found in Mythic bins & late-game care packages)
This change makes helmet mechanics simpler while rewarding players who find a Mythic Helmet.
