Apex Legends Season 30 Marked Arrives on August 4 With a Bloodhound Rework
Respawn has also planned changes for Rampart, Loba, World's Edge, Energy Weapons, and the new Corrupted Attachments.
Apex Legends Season 30, titled Marked, will begin on August 4, 2026. The new season will bring a major Bloodhound rework alongside Legend buffs, map changes, and updates to the game’s weapon systems.
What’s coming with Season 30?
Bloodhound is receiving one of the season’s biggest changes. The Legend will get an improved Passive and a fully reworked Ultimate, giving the character a different set of tools to use in matches.
Rampart and Loba are also receiving buffs. Loba’s Black Market will have a shorter cooldown, while Rampart’s Amped Walls will receive improvements.
World’s Edge will feature new and updated points of interest, giving players fresh locations to learn when the season begins. Respawn is also overhauling Energy Weapons and adding Corrupted Attachments. These attachments will offer powerful bonuses alongside trade-offs, so players will need to decide whether the extra strength is worth the drawback.
