Fortify

If you read last week’s post, you may remember my complaints around hitboxes in Apex Legends, specifically Caustic and Gibralter. Well, the community’s prayers have been answered. In the latest patch, along with some weapon tuning, Caustic and Gibralter have both received new passives called “fortify”, which grant a 10% damage reduction to both legends. This makes both characters noticeably more survivable, making their massive hotboxes slightly less of an issue. On top of that, Gibralter’s personal shield was buffed by 50% and Caustic’s traps were buffed by a whopping 400%! The two worst characters in the game seem to finally be finding a solid roll in the game. After playing both legends for a considerable amount of time post-patch, it truly feels as though they die less quickly. This gives me, and a lot of the community, hope for the future of the game. It’s so great to see developers listening to their community.
