Apex Legends creators Respawn Entertainment have heard the community’s opinions on the Bocek bow and have responded in kind by nerfing the new Season 9 weapon. An update announced on Tuesday included nerfs for the weapon that decreased its damage and other stats to bring it more in line with other loot options. The Spitfire, while not a new weapon but certainly a strong one, got nerfed as well.
We’re shipping two separate updates to @playapex today to address bugs and balance some weapons.
Later today these changes will be added to the Legacy update patch notes at this link: https://t.co/X7ihMfTuHF
