Apex Legends will get a brand new patch entitled as 1.1.1. Despite the strong integrity and commitment by Respawn Entertainment, the patch will still miss fixing a lot of known issues that have been reported by players. However, Apex Legends patch 1.1.1 will introduce a lot of balance changes, that will contribute to fairer gameplay.
First of all, hitboxes will be more viable on all of the champions, knowing that Caustic, Pathfinder, and Gibraltar have been crushed just because of that peculiar reason. They have had a larger hitbox that made them an easy target. That’s being followed by their destruction, which had to be addressed sooner or later.
Respawn Entertainment tried shrinking hitboxes to suit them and also the players better, however, despite Pathfinder, the problems remained on Caustic and Gibraltar. With no other chances to fix, Respawn Entertainment found a simple reason to add perks to both of them. Gibraltar and Caustic will get a passive perk which is called Fortified and will reduce damage taken by 10%. Below you can find more details:
CAUSTIC:
-
Fortified Passive Perk added: reduces damage taken by 10%
-
Gas Damage per tick increased: 1 -> 4
-
Ultimate Throw distance increased: 28 meters -> 33 meters

-
JUMP SHIP SPEED
-
Increased the speed of the ship by about 50%

We felt that the ship was moving a bit too slow after watching player behavior so we’re speeding it up so players that like to drop later in the flight path don’t have to wait so long.
