Apex Legends Gets New Update on April 8 That Includes Weapon and Character Adjustments
[summaraize]
While Respawn Entertainment just issued a patch download yesterday for Apex Legends, the studio has released a new one today that includes legend changes. This is a server-side patch, so players will receive the Apex Legends new update on April 8 just by connecting to the servers, which means no client download is needed.
It’s a pretty significant list of changes for a server-side patch, but we’re not complaining.
