Apex Legends nerfs assault rifles, buffs shotguns in season 16
It’s a time of great change in Apex Legends, as season 16 launches on Feb. 14.
Alongside wider updates to the way that classes operate, a new weapon and some upcoming adjustments to two of the most popular weapon archetypes are sure to drastically shake up the sandbox. Respawn hit both assault rifles and shotguns in this update, nerfing the former and buffing the latter in the hopes of correcting an imbalance of power that currently exists.
