Apex Legends: Hunted Is Now Live, Battle Pass Detailed and Patch Notes Released

Survival of the fittest

by Khayl Adam Wed 10th Aug 2022

The long-awaited launch of Apex Legends Season 14, Hunted, is now live, and a new trailer detailing the latest Battle Pass has been released. Hunted introduces the new character Vantage and raises the level cap, in addition to overhauling the classic Kings Canyon map.

In a nod to Vantage's harsh upbringing, there is a distinct survivalist flair to cosmetics this time around, with unique skins for the Wingman and Triple Take, in addition to new outfits for both Caustic and Wraith. The Season 14 Battle Pass will have 110 levels for players to work through and will set you back 950 Apex Coins, or around $10.

Finally, an exhaustive list of patch notes has been released, so if you are the kind of player that needs to know every little statistical change, you can check that out right here.

Have you tried out Vantage yet? What do you think of Hunted's Battle Pass? Let us know in the comments section below.

i haven't played Apex in a while, but after downloading the new season update last night (which was 40 Gb - i don't know why !) i played just one match and it was a good match, it's still same old fun Apex, i got killed by a vantage with a sniper in just a couple of shots, so i guess people are already making use of the new legend abilities. i liked the fact that king's canyon is back, i'm not sure if world's edge is still on for this season or not but i surely hope so as it's one of my favorite maps.

I played a few matches yesterday. Vantage was fun but her bat takes too long to reach its destination (sort of like Loba's teleport ring) was hoping it was faster as you can get taken out waiting for it to get to the location. Her Ult has 4 stacks which is helpful but the tracer beam is a nuisance as sniping with a controller is difficult enough without your position being exposed while you aim. Wingman pistol now uses sniper ammo and spit fire is light ammo, dunno why they made such weird changes. The battle pass sucks as always. Only decent weapon cosmetics are at lv 100. They really need to hire new or get more staff to work on the weapons. Season Kills/ stats should not be a battle pass reward and should be removed as majority of players turn that off anyway as it causes players in the 1k+ kills to quit before the match starts.

There are a lot of changes to weapons this season and some legends like Newcastle and Maggie are more viable after buffs, which is great! Other legends like Revenant, Crypto and Lifeline still need some work though.

The 16th season (after the next one) supposedly will be a pause season with no new legend, so I hope they use that one to really balance legends and weapons in the game.

@TheNomadLad It seemingly re-downloads the whole game just to patch it... very annoying!

@z0d15g0d I think they made those ammo changes because heavy ammo was too prevalent last season, so it was difficult to run anything else as you couldn't pick up light/sniper/energy ammo off deathboxes.

@Perturbator Ah that makes sense. Only seemed to hear team mates asking for heavy ammo constantly. They still do though so i'm guessing work in progress.
