Apex Legends looks pretty good right now following the recent Genesis update. Legends that needed buffs were buffed, and Legends that needed nerfs were nerfed. The update tried to ensure a level playing field, and to a great extent, it succeeded.

One of the good things about this update was Revenant got some much-needed buffs and has been gaining popularity since. Revenant has always been a cool-looking legend, but players were apprehensive of using him, courtesy of his lack of ability to climb structures.

His inability to climb saw him go down in popularity, and this displeased players who really wanted to use Revenant to get some wins. Fortunately, Respawn took heed of these calls and the complaints of the players and gave Revenant some much-needed buffs.

Apex Legends: Revenant is a new player-favorite

Respawn has buffed Revenant’s climbing ability and also reduced his hitbox. Before the update, Revenant was a Legend decent in certain situations but lacking versatility. Following the update, most of this has changed, surging the legend’s pickrate.

Another thing that has made the Legend all the more special is the new heirloom, which is a scythe. And it suits the Revenant’s appearance so well that it almost seems like the heirloom is an extension of the Legend and not a add-on.
