Apex Legends Season 18 Resurrection: All Legend Buffs & Nerfs

Respawn have ushered in the latest season of Apex Legends, this time focusing on one Legend in particular. In Season 18: Resurrection, Revenant has undergone some sinister changes. After experiencing some glitches in the midst of battle, Revenant finds himself without his usual abilties. Instead, they've been replaced with a brand new kit, one perfect for causing havoc.

In celebration of this new Revenant rework, Respawn has unlocked the Legend himself for every Apex player all season long. Complete some special challenges during the season, and Revenant is yours to keep. Season 18 takes a leaf out of the Season 16 playbook, in that instead of a brand new Legend to play with, Respawn have opted to overhaul some of what they've already got. But, outside of the Revenant rework, some other Legends have received buffs and nerfs for the start of this new season. Below, we'll be going over all of the changes that players will need to keep an eye on.

The majority of this season's nerfs comes in the form of extending the cooldowns for various Ultimate abilities which, depending on how you look at it, could be seen as a hinderance or a benefit.
