Last week, developer Respawn Entertainment revealed the Chaos Theory collection event for Apex Legends<\/em><\/strong>, which will coincide with a patch that will nerf Horizon\u2019s Black Hole Ultimate, among other things. However, many balked at the nerf, calling it not enough to bring Dr. Mary Somers into parity with the rest of the legends. But a developer from Respawn has now clarified that a much more substantial shakeup for Horizon is coming in the future.<\/p>\n

Apex Legends<\/a><\/em>\u2019 Chaos Theory collection event will feature a host of new skins for legends, like a Roman gladiator look for Loba and a skin for Pathfinder that makes him look like the Egyptian god, Anubis. In terms of gameplay, the update will also bring the highly-requested \u201cNo Fill\u201d option to Apex<\/em>\u00a0Legends<\/em><\/a>\u00a0allowing players to play by themselves in a game of duos or trios if they so choose. The update also will remove the Low Profile perk from Pathfinder, which boosts damage received by 5% for harder-to-hit characters, and is a perk Respawn wants to remove from all other hard-to-hit characters as well in the future.<\/p>\n

This update will also finally tackle Horizon<\/a>, whose win rate has been higher than her fellow legends since her introduction. The update is adding a full minute to the cooldown of her ultimate ability, a black hole that sucks all players and grenades in a small area towards it. But many players\u00a0aren\u2019t satisfied with the nerf, which led to one player asking why that was all she got in this update on Reddit. Respawn\u2019s Lead Game Designer, Daniel Klein, replied that a \u201cbigger nerf\u201d is coming soon, but that it was not ready for this update, so Respawn shipped what it had.<\/p>\n
