Apex Legends will adjust shotguns, sniper rifles, and shooter weapons in season 11, truly redefining the player’s experience with them.

Although it remains to be seen how they affect other maps, some of the weapon balance changes announced in Season 11 of Apex Legends seem to be compatible with the new map Storm Point. This does not mean that these changes are not good for Kings Canyon, World's Edge or Olympus, but they are most likely to be felt on Storm Point.

Storm Point is the largest Apex Legends map to date, with a strong emphasis on verticality, stronger rotation and more loot. Because of this, other maps usually see more short- and medium-range firefights. The storm point is the perfect host for long-range firefights, with tall buildings and a very obvious canopy to protect below. Even the design of the waters seems to take this into account, which is why Apex Legends season 11 redefines shotguns and snipers.

There is no doubt that many people feel the tingling sensation of powerful EVA-8 users when using the purple shotgun bolts. EVA has a strong ability to destroy and control short-term battlefields, so the developer Respawn Entertainment decided to weaken it. In fact, by slightly reducing its rate of fire and polishing other shotguns in some way, it has been weakened to Apex Legends' preseason level 8.

This option is also used in conjunction with the Peacekeeper and Mastiff shotguns in Apex Legends. Mastiff is getting a new hop called Dual Shell (which can also be used by 30-30 repeaters). Essentially, this means that the player loads two ammunition shells at a time, reducing its reloading time in half. These changes are the most prominent, but they all serve one goal: to provide more reasons for players to choose the Peace Guardian instead of EVA-8 or Mastiff.

Although the changes to EVA-8 may sound distressing, it is intended to provide Apex Legends with more powerful metadata in the shotgun itself. How this will work in long-term and competitive games remains to be seen, but this is a powerful attempt to balance shotguns.

As mentioned earlier, Storm Point is by far the largest map and places great emphasis on verticality. In other words, this is a powerful setting used by snipers. The sniper is very powerful in the long-range combat in other Apex Legends maps, of course, but it feels that the design of Storm Point takes into account the multi-functional combat style. Short-range, medium-range and long-range combat are as feasible as Storm Point’s next one, which requires some changes to the shooter’s weapon and sniper rifle.

In addition to how Storm Point itself tends to a strong combat design, the most notable are the changes to the Care Package and the adjustments to the G7 Scout and Triple-Take. Care packs are now spawned with weapons at a higher speed, 50% in the early game and 100% in the late game. This means that players will see more Krabers and G7 Scouts on each map-they have been placed in the Care Package instead of Triple Take-if they are the deadliest on Storm Point.

Taking these changes into account, Kraber has been slightly weakened, while Care Package G7 has been enhanced and double-clicked to return. Due to the higher prices of these weapons and the various shooter and sniper rifles offered as ground trophies in Apex Legends, Storm Point is likely to redefine short-range and long-range combat. Other maps will of course feel the impact of these changes, but the storm point may get the most benefit. Either way, after the release of Apex Legends season 11, fans should expect to see brand new metadata on Storm Point.

Apex Legends is available on PC, PS4, Switch and Xbox One.
