CHANGE TO ENERGY MAGS

Extended Energy Mags removed

HAVOC mag size: 32
Devotion mag size: 44

Designer notes:We know that the removal of energy mags seems a bit odd, but it will make much more sense with the release of Season 4! It takes a while to make the bigger changes you see in the new season updates, and we generally make sure to filter out these changes from preceding mid-season updates. This time we made a mistake and shipped a change that wasn’t intended to go live until Season 4.

TOURNAMENT MODE

This feature is limited to approved partners and allows them to arrange private player matches, record live footage via game client spectators, and view match results. Our goal here is to provide great tools for tournament organizers for setting up teams and matches at events and a better spectating experience for fans.

Apex update 1.26 is now available fo download.
