Apex Legends has found itself in a really amazing position with Season 9. It has added a much-needed roster, tweak, and a brand new game mode, Arena, for everyone to play. Respawn Entertainment secretly changed the arc star’s mechanic, which in turn made it quite weak.

By all means, arc stars carried too much power, and if they did not connect with the enemy, it would at least stun them in a small area of effect. In this season, the studio has turned its powers down, and it seems like it has altered a member of the roster as well.

This change might have unknowingly nerfed Wattson, who uses her fences to block enemies. It no longer stuns, blocks or even causes people to get stunned, much like arc stars.
