All Apex Legends Abilities, Perks, and Upgrades (Season 25)

It’s hard to keep track of all Apex Legends abilities, perks, and Evo Shield upgrades when the meta keeps changing. Unless you’re studying patch notes each split, you may need a reminder on your favorite legend’s kit. You never know when a rework is coming or if a legend you’ve forgotten about got a much-needed buff to their upgrades. Deciding what character to main comes down to your playstyle, the current meta, and how strong their abilities are compared to others.

Here are all legend and Class abilities, perks, and Evo Shield upgrades in Apex Legends. This article will be updated each split/season if legend kits are reworked, new legends are added, or upgrades get changed/moved around.
