Apex Legends Genesis Patch! Octane Nerf, Revenant Climb, Weapon Balancing, Arena Changes & More!
Hey guys and welcome back to another Apex Legends video! Today I wanted to go over with you guys all of the major changes revealed for the Genesis Collection Event. These patch notes will go live on June 29th, the same day that the collection event will become available.
In these patch notes we have a bunch of changes for legends such as Octane, Revenant, Lifeline and Bloodhound. As well as some weapon changes for the 30 30, P2020 and Longbow.
The Arenas playlist has also gotten some changes specifically to the economy and how much certain weapons, abilities and items cost. Some of the legends abilities have also been slightly changed for Arenas.
Towards the end of this video I go over all of the brand new skins that I noticed from the Genesis collection event. Not all of these are from the event packs but just wanted to point out the ones I noticed.
Also Revenant is going to be getting the next heirloom in the Genesis collection event!!

You can see a clip of Revenan'ts updated passive at 1:09 (Got this from the dev stream)
What do you guys think of the collection events as well these legend/weapon changes?
I personally think the devs made the wrong choice with octanes jump pad. I personally think instead of nerfing octane they should have focused on buffing other characters. Octanes jump pad is fun and that accompanied by his quirky personality is what makes the character fun to play. By increasing the cool down by 30 seconds you are taking away a lot of combat options for him and his team. Yes it will reduce the amount of people that play him. But do people really want their favorite characters nerfed that badly?
How much you wanna nerf octane
Respawn: Yes
As a octane main that's honestly balanced, i like it!
I have news horizon's tactical is still broken and will still lift octanes jump pad
Have they fixed the damn audio bugs
When he told me that revenant cant climb infinitely but he can climb very high I was scared he couldn't climb to the top of JAEgers parking garage dont call me a nerd or a narcissist but me and friends call the building In Fragment that he demonstrates the buffed climb for revenant, "Jaegers parking garage"

It was like you are playing in slow motion and this was a serious advantage than a problem because you could aim your shots better
Do they just want Wattson to be shitty or something?
I hate the balancing team the f are they even doing at this point
Wait wait wait. Ive been playing apex on switch since season 8. Caustics gas highlights enemies???? Its supposed to do that???? I have not once ever seen it do that
So the 'og' Kings Canyon will look like in season 1 or like before the S1? And what about the worlds edge? (I mean when the game came out)
As a mirage main GIVE US A SKIN PLEASE
Like 10 minutes before this video was released I read the patch notes 😂
>no caustic buff
“Bloodhound is in a really good spot so we nerfed them.” That’s what I got from their nerf.
Wraith needs more love
devs only buff and nerf so people will use that legend or gun more/ less and frankly its annoying they should be fixing servers, sound, match making, and stuff like that
you cant add stuff that was destroyed
Octane needs to be left alone
I’m really happy with the p2020 that pistol is amazing
Bruh my octane fuk
So their reason to nerf octane was cus his jump pad was too fun? And too fast?
i have an idea. FIX RANKED PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
at this point make stims do 50 damage and take away the jumpads
Caustic really needed to be in these patch notes
They should leave octane alone
Jesus this video basically
Devs: the changes we made were good so we’re making it less good
It’s Omeeeeeegaaaaa
Idk man that last time i played apex was season 4 and i like it but smh those many hackers and that many weird changes made the game worde like the only time i could play apex is when og skulltown comes again
They are completely destroying octane, the reason I use him is because I can get so much good movement and it’s so much fun jumping on your enemies with the stim and the jump pad but because of the nerfs, using the stim does a lot of damage and it one use of the stim can change everything in the battle and there will be so much less times we can use the jump pad. Honestly, I don’t really Mind the jump pad nerf but I really felt the stim nerf
Gotta admit I’m a Rev main and I’ve got over 600 kills and I’m hyped for this new update
6:15
WAIT
I CAN RUN MY GAME AT HIGHER FPS?
this looks like a joke honestly
Fucking leave octane alone !
i fucking hate respawn devs
Apex Logic: If the character is popular, we nerf
Yo, what if they added the smart pistol into Apex??? 😂
*knownasomega
RESPAWN BUFF MY BOY MIRAGE
all these nerfs are basically the devs saying
we don't know how to buff the low pick rate legends so we're just going to nerf everyone else.
They just need to keep Kong’s canyon I think everyone ( who actually played it ) can say it’s much better
still no caustic buff:( sad caustic main noise
They should just buff low tier characters to keep up with higher tiers and slightly nerf the ones that are s tier or to good
Wraith is still unchanged, disappointing. She’s not weak, and she’s not strong, but she could still be better and reworked to make her less situational.
Don’t nerf octane! Shits laaaame
Ahh yes nerfing shit, what respawn does best
The OG kings canyon is the best map in the game
I love how they just buried octane in the ground bc of his pickrate patheticcc
The game is still shit
