As Season 26 came into being, one saw some prominent changes being made to Apex Legends. The developers, however, are still working towards balancing out a few things pertaining to the weapons in the game.
Season 26 marked the arrival of several new Elite Weapons for Apex Legends. These guns are designed to present classic firearms in a new form. The original firearms will be replaced, albeit for a limited time period. Till now, one has seen Respawn only launching a burst variant of the RE:45. Its rework, however, has had a significant effect on the battlefield. While the pistol has become quite popular, the developer is of the opinion that one could do a lot more to improve its effectiveness.
On August 25, a new update was released and it ended up nerfing the RE:45 Elite. The pistol’s magazine size has been brought down by 3 for all tiers. Certain alterations were made to the recoil and bullet projectile size to ensure the process of using the RE:45 Elite became a little more challenging and interesting.

Respawn has also brought down the possibility of two Evo Harvesters being seen in a single location. These alterations came into place after the developer decided to work on the feature a little more in Season 26.
