​Apex Legends™: Marked Midseason Patch Notes     ​

INTROWelcome back to Split 2 of Apex Legends: Marked. To start the second half of the season, we’ve got Legend balancing changes, some adjustment to loot availability (including more healing items), buffs to a trio of long range weapons, and the usual array of tweaks, fixes and adjustments. Split 2 starts on September 15th, so assemble your squad and get ready to jump back into Marked!ANTI CHEAT UPDATEIn the leadup to Split 2, we implemented significant, new systems to detect players using unauthorized controller hardware or software in Apex Legends on all platforms including: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2.Prior to implementation, we spent several months thoroughly validating these systems to ensure they can accurately identify prohibited behavior. Players that trigger these detections will be actioned upon and may be banned accordingly upon review. Playing on console does not make you exempt from detection or enforcement.This is just the beginning for these new systems which we will continue to improve to keep pace with evolving cheating methods.We want the community to know that we are actively working to identify and remove cheaters at every level of play — including the highest ranks. Thank you to everyone who reports suspicious behavior and helps us keep Apex Legends fair. For more anti-cheat information, check out our most recent {LINK REMOVED}update!PATCH NOTESLEGEND BUFFSConduitDev note: Our main goal is to give Conduit players more avenues for skill expression and to ensure her abilities feel functional, readable, and fluid. Apex’s Shield Healer saw a big uptick in her success throughout Season 29 thanks to some overhauls to her Tactical and its associated upgrades. Despite Conduit receiving a few nerfs since then, we still wanted to come back to her this Season to focus on polishing and refining her Ultimate, as mentioned in the Season 29 Designer’s Notes. Beyond her base kit, we wanted to give Conduit two brand new Level 2 Upgrades that are now fully unique to her and emphasize different aspects of her aggressive support style.TacticalAdded preview visuals on the shield bar to indicate how much Temp Shield will be generated by the end of the regen period.UltimateVarious aspects of the Ultimate’s deployment have been smoothed out, meaning it fires faster and gets you back to guns sooner.Can now toggle orientation while targeting to deploy jammers in a forward line.Added a new HUD element to better inform players if their deployment location will cause jammers to break.Also, individual jammer indicators now turn red if they would break at the current targeting location.Jammers now spawn higher and slightly closer together, creating a tighter formation that covers more vertical space.Jammers activate significantly faster, establishing the barricade’s threat area quicker.UpgradesBoth Level 2 Upgrades, Battpack and Bigger Jam, have been removed.NEW: Concurrency (Level 2)Refire Energy Barricade once with no cooldo
