Wattson receives buff in Apex Legends
Wattson in the new Chaos Theory update has received one of the biggest buffs a Legend has ever received. The developers have added a Passive Shield regeneration update, which increases the character’s offensive firepower. According to the patch notes of the update, she receives 0.5 hp per second, which is half the rate of Octane’s current health regeneration.
The massive nerf to Caustic with the new update also decreases the usage of the Legend in ranked matches. This opens up a spot for a defensive legend like Wattson. Along with that, the nerf on Wraith’s hitbox automatically vaults Wattson to the top of the hitbox charts while also having one of the best animations set.

Additional features of the update
The Chaos Theory update also ushers in map changes with the introduction of Caustic Town. The town now replaces Water Treatment where players can loot four gold chests by completing experiments. Players also might see the Mirage Voyage appear on other parts of the map with the removal of Water Treatment.
The game also has a new playlist with the new Ring Fury Escalation Takeover. In this new mode, multiple ring flares appear on the map within the current round’s ring. If a player gets stuck in this ring flare, it will give damage equal to that of the current round’s ring damage.

The new update also allows players to play as solo. Before the update, the game filled solo players with other duos or trios queueing up at the same time. Now, by unchecking the Fill Matchmaking option, they can join any playlist as a single player.
