After going live in August, Apex Legends Season 6 is in full swing. Apart from adding exciting features, the new season brought several refreshing changes. The devs handed out improvements to the Recon Class, due to which Bloodhound and Crypto share the same ability with Pathfinder now. All of them can now reveal the ring’s next location, playing an essential role in map rotations.

Additionally, Bloodhound’s ultimate received a significant buff, and Crypto’s drone can now interact with beacons instantly. Although Pathfinder’s ultimate cooldown sightly reduces every time he scans a survey beacon, Bloodhound and Crypto have the edge on the robot.

Pathfinder used to be Apex’s poster boy, but he is not as unique anymore. However, it isn’t that bad, considering the robot is about to receive his fair share of affection from the devs.

Good news awaits Pathfinder mains who, despite being hopeful, missed out on a decent buff in Season 6. Pathfinder will receive “some love” in the near future. Thank you Sethly for spotting it.

Apex Legends player raises valid points for improvements to Pathfinder

Recently, an Apex player went trolling on Twitter, and put himself in the shoes of an Apex dev and tweeted about an incoming buff for Pathfinder.

SelfMadeJimar tweeted, “Hi @PlayApexlegends! We have been listening to your feedback, and have realized we have hurt Pathfinder a little more than intended. To combat this, we have decided to take low profile off, reduce grapple cool down to 25 seconds (from 35 seconds).”

The post gained a lot of traction, with a Respawn producer on Apex Legends, Josh Medina, also taking notice. Just like the rest of the community, the Respawn team member found it amusing.

Even though the intention was to pull off a troll, the player did raise some valid points. Although Pathfinder’s slender build makes it a bit tricky to register hits, he still has a significantly larger hit-box than smaller characters like Wraith. Therefore, retracting Pathfinder’s low-profile perk is plausible, as the extra damage with low-profile seems unnecessary.

Pathfinder’s going to get some love soon

Other than that, in Season 5, Pathfinder’s grapple received a significant nerf that increased its hook’s cooldown from 15 seconds to 35 seconds. The grapple remains a convenient tool undoubtedly, but the nerf significantly brought down his mobility. While the 15-second cooldown might have seemed too quick, the 35-second wait for the grapple does feel a little too long.

Players have been waiting for improvements in Pathfinder. And it looks like their favorite robot will receive it soon.

After SoaR Daltoosh pointed out that the player had brought up some valid points, Josh Medina confirmed that Pathfinder will “get some love soon.”

Changes for Pathfinder seem imminent in the coming weeks. However, one has to wait and watch what they will be. The devs are aware that a shared passive ability among the recon legends, doesn’t make Pathfinder standout anymore. They have assured fans that they will look into his case in the future to make the robot unique again. Hopefully, the affection Pathfinder gets from the devs restores some of his former glory.
