All weapon buffs and nerfs in Apex Legends Season 14: Hunted

On the surface, Apex Legends Season 14 continues the seasonal pattern of adding map changes, a new Battle Pass, and one more Legend. However, upon closer inspection, it offers a ton of gameplay adjustments that will dramatically change the way you play battle royale. This includes the removal of self-revives, as well as increased hip fire spread across two types of weapons. Here are all of the buffs and nerfs you’ll see in Apex Legends Season 14.

Every weapon and accessory customization in Season 14: Hunted

To the surprise of many, the final season will see more weapon buffs than nerfs. A major change can be found in the Rampage LMG as it now comes with a Thermite grenade. The EVA-8 and Bocek compound bow have also been treated well with damage increases, along with several other buffs. That said, there are some major restructurings. Hop-ups like Deadeye’s Tempo and Shatter Caps have been removed from the loot pool, while players can no longer self-revive with Gold Knockdown Shields.
