Apex Legends Update Will Significantly Nerf Several Popular Characters

Apex Legends has revealed that Conduit, Bangalore, and Revenant are getting hit with some significant nerfs in an upcoming update. These changes to the popular Legends are coming as part of the recently revealed Shadow Society Event for Apex Legends, starting on March 26.
Arriving shortly after the Inner Beast Collection Event in Apex Legends, the Shadow Society Event looks to bring a new LTM called Lockdown, which is described as a four-squad free-for-all in which teams need to capture zones to earn points. The event will also bring new cosmetics, including an Apex Artifact, a new Mythic Melee weapon similar to Heirlooms but can be used by any Legend. Besides new content meant to keep the game fresh, the developer has packed a bunch of Legend changes into the upcoming update as well.
Ahead of the release of the Shadow Society Event, Respawn Entertainment has revealed the patch notes for the update. Among the changes, Conduit, Bangalore, and Revenant are getting substantial nerfs to their respective kits. Specifically, Bangalore will see her Smoke Launcher cooldown increased from 33 to 35 seconds, and the duration will be decreased to 11 seconds, previously 18. Furthermore, smoke particles will disappear more quickly, and enemies can no longer be damaged by the exploding canister. As if that was not enough, the developer is also nerfing Bangalore's Rolling Thunder, increasing the cooldown by 30 seconds.
While Conduit's Ultimate will not be affected like Bangalore's in this upcoming patch, her Tactical will receive some significant alterations. According to the patch notes, the Radiant Transfer cooldown will be increased from 26 to 31 seconds. In addition, the regen interruption delay time will increase to two seconds, previously one.
Rounding out the list of characters receiving major nerfs is Revenant. The Simulacrum will see his Forged in Shadows ability nerfed in several ways: Shadow Pounce will no longer refresh after getting a knock in Shadow form, and the decreased cooldown on this Tactical while using this Ultimate has been removed. Furthermore, the cooldown on Forged in Shadows has been increased by 60 seconds.
Despite the changes to Bangalore, Conduit, and Revenant potentially being most impactful, the Shadow Society Event update will change various other Legends. For example, Caustic’s gas damage will increase by one with each tick. In addition, upgrades have been adjusted for several Legends, including the previously mentioned Bangalore, Revenant, and Caustic.
Time will tell how these changes impact the character meta in Apex Legends throughout the remainder of Season 20. Bangalore, Conduit, and Revenant have been among the most picked Legends in the battle royale recently, so it will be
