Apex Legends Season 28, titled Breach, focuses on close-quarters combat, introducing a destructible environment mechanic along with significant Updates to Legends, Ranked play, weapons, and loot. Below are the patch notes.
Scheduled for release on February 10, this season features Hardlight Mesh windows throughout the Outlands, which allows players to break through structures or establish defensive positions.
Hardlight Mesh
Hardlight Mesh windows are destructible and can also be repaired. Players can see through these windows when intact, but cannot shoot or navigate through them.
Destroying the Hardlight Mesh requires dealing damage; explosives and close-range weaponry expedite the process, creating new angles for attacks and routes for escape. Legends who specialize in controller abilities can reinforce or repair damaged sections, thereby enhancing defensive strategies during combat.
Ranked Changes
The Drop Zone has been eliminated from Ranked play, reverting to the traditional dropship deployment. This change aligns the mode with public matches, responding to community feedback regarding RNG-related outcomes and inconsistent loot distributions.
Legend Updates
Various Legends have received specific updates designed to enhance close-combat abilities. For instance, Fuse gains new offensive upgrades that allow him to leap past defenses, while Bloodhound’s tactical scan is revamped for improved speed and efficiency.
7th Anniversary Event
The seventh-anniversary event allows players to securely unlock up to four Legends over four weeks through weekly challenges. Additional cosmetic rewards and a new Battle Pass will also be available, along with community-created content and exclusive rewards.
