Seer is finally getting the nerf Apex Legends players thought was coming last year

With Apex Legends’ season 17 hitting the live servers tomorrow, Respawn Entertainment published a new set of patch notes today for the impending update. Fans of the battle royale will be happy to know the notes address what was a rather controversial character interaction last year.

Catalyst arrived in the Apex Games with season 15 in November 2022, bringing a wall of ferrofluid to the bloodsport. Prior to the season’s launch, many expected Catalyst’s ultimate Dark Veil would directly counter Seer and his Exhibit, which revealed opponents moving in a wide area by highlighting them with diamond-shaped indicators. The Ambush Artist was, at the time, considered by the majority of the player base to be an oppressive pick for his “wall-hack” abilities that allowed players to see enemy locations through objects and buildings. But fans—and even pro players—were quickly disappointed when they discovered Seer’s ultimate still showed enemy whereabouts through Catalyst’s murky black veil.
