Apex Legends: Marked Season Split 2 Update Is Live
Apex Legends' new mid-season update launches on September 15th, featuring Conduit adjustments, long-range weapon buffs, and new anti-cheat systems.
The second half of Apex Legends' "Marked" season has officially begun. Launching on September 15th, this mid-season update brings both Legend balance changes and significant steps toward maintaining the game's overall health. Developers are aiming to improve the player experience, particularly through adjustments to characters like Conduit and the implementation of new systems to combat cheaters.
Major Updates for Conduit
Conduit, the shining star of Season 29, receives special attention in this patch. The character's Ultimate ability, Energy Barricade, now deploys faster, offering players greater strategic depth. Specifically, visual improvements to jammer placement and new level 2 upgrades reinforce Conduit's aggressive support role. New "Concurrency" and "Jammed Up" perks provide Conduit players with brand-new ways to control their enemies.
Anti-Cheat Updates and Game Balance
One of the most notable aspects of this update is the massive improvement made to the anti-cheat system. New systems designed to detect unauthorized controller hardware and software have been activated across all platforms, including PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch 2. Developers emphasize their uncompromising stance against cheaters and note that this system will be continuously updated. Additionally, loot distribution across maps has been reviewed, increasing the accessibility of healing items. Significant buffs have also been applied to long-range weapons, which will help sniper rifles reclaim their place in the meta.
Ultimately, with this update, Apex Legends is focusing on both preserving its competitive integrity and making character abilities more fluid. Gather your squad now and get ready for the chaos of the second half of the Marked season!
