Apex Legends Season 23 is halfway through and a mid-season update is bringing a lot of changes to the battle royale. Notably, both Loba and Mirage are getting substantial improvements to their kit–especially Loba–and changes to hop-up attachments are sure to make the already frenetic combat even faster. Even Titanfall 2 fans have a reason to tune in as the EPG-1 grenade launcher from that game is joining Apex Legends through the Rift Relics in casual play.

Loba is definitely the biggest adjustment with this update, however, getting massive buffs to her existing kit that align with the substantial improvements enjoyed by Newcastle and Lifeline at the start of Season 23. Those changes are detailed below:

Season 23 Mid-Season Loba Changes

• Loba’s tactical ability (Burglar’s Best Friend) is getting a second charge by default and the toss and recovery time are both increasing.
• Loba’s ultimate ability (Black Market Boutique) will be available immediately, will deploy faster, will be able to be remotely packed up, and can pick up small meds and ally banners for free.
• Black Market Boutique will be able to steal from Explosive Holds and Vaults once again, and stealing from Vaults won’t destroy the Black Market Boutique (alarms still go off)
• Loba will be able to pick the locks on Vaults as an interaction

In addition to these changes, Loba’s in-match upgrade paths have been overhauled with one now focused on stealing more items for teammates while the other amplifies her Burglar’s Best Friend tactical ability so that she behaves a bit more like a Skirmisher with escape options (akin to Wraith or Alter).
