The Aftermarket event has been deployed in Apex Legends. This patch brought a lot of novelty including cosmetics and a limited-time mode. It was also the occasion for the developers to update some character.
Pathfinder
Pathfinder’s tactical received a huge buff. The cooldown was five seconds but is now based on distance traveled, which basically mean that the shorter the pull, the more he can use his hook.
This will allow some players to take the heights more easily without having to wait too long in the open — regaining all his interest within a team that needs mobility.
Bloodhound
Bloodhound’s tactical cooldown has been nerfed by Respawn. This only applies when her ultimate is active but it helps to fix the fact that the hunter was extremely powerful.
Previously, Bloodhound could activate her tactical every six seconds. This new patch has increased that cooldown to eight. Now there are four seconds of revelation and four seconds of repositioning between pulses.
Wraith
As for Wraith, she receives a nerf concerning her hitbox. Her signature animation made her a hard target to shoot. Her running animation has been modified through this patch.
The new animations are "more upright and expose a larger area of her body to gunfire." If this buff is too severe, developers keep the right to buff her abilities in an upcoming update.
