The patch notes for Apex Legends Season 11 are out which means players now know exactly how their favorite weapons and Legends will be changed this next season. For the former, the patch notes include nerfs for the EVA-8 and the L-STAR – both of which have been exceptionally dominant in all levels of play this season – as well as some care package changes that’ll bring back the Triple Take as a marksman weapon.

This next season is also introducing a totally new Hop-Up to the game: The Dual Shell. It only works with the Mastiff shotgun and the 30-30 Repeater, and when it’s equipped, it allows users to reload two rounds at once instead of one at a time. The other Hop-Ups currently in the game will remain intact, so you don’t have to worry about saying goodbye to Boosted Loader, Deadeye’s Tempo, or any other current Hop-Ups.
All of the changes related to Apex Legends weapons and gear can be seen below courtesy of the patch notes.
