A new Apex Legends Season 6 update has been released on PS4, Xbox One, and PC alongside the official patch notes. Further, developer Respawn Entertainment and publisher EA have confirmed a playlist update will also be releasing later today. While this second update isn’t live yet, the pair also revealed the patch notes for this as well. That said, despite there being two updates today, the patch notes are pretty thin, suggesting the update is pretty minor.
The highlights appear to be some fixes to Rampart, the game’s newest hero added this week alongside the launch of Season 6. On top of this, Respawn has reduced the number of gold helms, gold backpacks, and gold knock down shields, though it doesn’t say by how much.
