Apex Legends: Latest Update - 10/01/2026

Hello! We just pushed an update for the following:

Unreliable tac and ult usage near large moving structures

Sliding lateral control nerfed by 50% (making it harder to maintain slide momentum while tightly cornering)

Sliding lateral control nerfed by 25% for Nitro Gate users

Aim assist is disabled for players under the effect of the Nitro Gate

Nerfed Nitro Gate initial push speed to 650 from 700

If the Kickstart drone locks on immediately after being deployed, the resulting knock-up is significantly decreased

Nerfed max knock-up magnitude to 650 from 700

Nerfed max drone chase time to 8s from 10s (meaning it'll give-up on an active chase 2s sooner)

We are continuing to track community feedback regarding Apex KO and are making a few additional tuning changes to address player painpoints.

Reduced Fighter's Defense from 55% damage reduction to 50%

This is a summary of an official announcement.
