What’s New in Apex Legends Patch 8.10?

As of April 2024, the Apex Legends development team delivered significant patch notes in patch 8.10, enhancing gameplay balance, introducing fresh content, and refining tools for both players and instructors. Below is a detailed overview of the most impactful changes.

🔫 Weapon Balances & Adjustments

Key Insights

Balance remains a core focus of each update. In patch 8.10, the following weapons saw key adjustments:

• Shrinker
  Through minor adjustments to reloading speed and kinetic impact, the Shrinker’s knockback power was slightly flattened to reduce overuse while preserving control. Players recommend maintaining strafing while firing to avoid clipping.

• Steelin’ Blade
  Damage increases were nudged back by 5% to counter over-reliance on capsule buffs. Combined with new recoil mitigation tips, this update encourages skill-based combos rather than automation dependency.

• Doomfall
  The heavy melee weapon survived fine-tuning with a slight reduction in AoE damage to limit ganking risks. Its dramatic, gruesome effect remains popular for closure plays.

• Spacequake Nano
  Increased spread accuracy and subtle damper recoil helps improve situational precision. This change rewards consistent aim during tight encounters.

Final Thoughts

🛡️ New Legacies and Loadouts

Apex Legends’ Legacies system continues evolving. Patch 8.10 introduced:

• The Titan Juggernaut Loadout
  A new hybrid gear bundle combining the Juggernaut’s mobility with limited defensive perks, ideal for players favoring escape over frontline firepower.

• Enhanced Customization Options
  Loadouts now feature increased slots for heart, aim, and synth gear, enabling deeper personalization. New passive synergies reward consistent play with unique buffs.
