Just a few hours away from launch, Apex Legends Season 15 Eclipse patch notes have been released. While a bunch of weapon and attachment tweaks have been made, no Legend changes have surfaced. Among the changes is a big Mastiff nerf that sees its base damage reduced and its spread increased. The light ammo weapon, R-99, has been buffed with an extra bullet in the blue and purple magazine attachments. Among the quality-of-life changes are modifications to the game’s UI which aim to make navigation more intuitive. A larger change is the increase to the round 1 pre-shrink time, which has been upped to 90 seconds. Read on for the full Apex Legends Season 15 Eclipse patch notes.
