Legend buffs for Valkyrie, Rampart and Horizon
Contrary to previous leaks, Apex Legends Season 27 will not introduce a new Legend. Instead, fans can look forward to legend buffs for Valkyrie, Rampart and Horizon .
Valkyrie

Valkyrie is set to dominate aerial combat once again. Her VTOL jets have been given a speed boost and recharge three times faster, and the launch time of her ultimate ability "Skyfall" has been significantly reduced.
Valkyrie should feel dangerous in motion again - with a modernised jetpack.
Her Tactical ability "Missile Swarm" gets more utility: no inherent damage, no height restrictions, and she now scans enemies hit and puts movement passives on cooldown. Her upgrades can extend the missile pattern, reduce fuel consumption while improving horizontal speed and significantly speed up the launch time of her Ultimate ability.

Rampart

The champion light machine gunner no longer played a role in terms of pick rates. However, this is guaranteed to change with Season 27.
Rampart secures the map with an improved "Reinforced Cover" tactic that evolves and improves over the course of the game. Its walls gain more health as Evo levels increase, add movement speed and now even have a roof!
Rampart is now less static and much more dynamic. Her defence becomes a means to build offensive pressure.
Improved upgrades go even further, allowing for faster reloads and infinite ammo when firing from cover, and walls regenerate outside of combat.
Horizon
Auch Horizon bekommt neue Fähigkeiten

In the spirit of new and improved mobility, scientist Horizon has also been given some updates. Her "Gravity Lift" Tactical now has a shorter cooldown and a higher ascent speed, and her "Black Hole" Ultimate also gains more health.
Horizon reprises her role as the master of verticality, with sharper, more fluid tools for aerial dominance and quick re-entry.
Her improved EVO upgrades also open up new possibilities for movement in the air: crouching in the air allows you to fall faster (fast fall) or glide out of gravity lifts to extend your air control, and you gain bonus charges for the gravity lift when knocked down by enemies.

Olympus: Revised map design

Neu: Somers University

The latest Ranked Split in Season 26 clearly showed that the Olympus map looks outdated compared to other maps. It was therefore high time for a general overhaul. And so it is: Apex Legends Season 27 is giving Olympus a map update.
We have focussed on turning the open areas of Olympus into exciting new POIs.

The revamped Olympus is a high-speed playground, redesigned for better gameplay flow, more challenging gameplay and safer positioning. The update introduces four new POIs (Points of Interest) for Legends to explore:
- Somers University: built by Horizon to explore the mysteries of the universe and honour their son Newton. Somers University replaces the Orbital Cannon and brings bold architecture and soaring lifts to Olympus. Relics from the crash provide insight into the secrets of this Olympus.
- Gravity Engine Abyss: The new heart of Olympus replaces the Energy Depot and harnesses the power of Branthium to keep the city aloft. Lifts, zip-lines and vertical structures merge here and make this POI the next hotspot on Olympus.
- Stabiliser: This platform in the sky replaces docks and ensures that Olympus remains correctly aligned. Floating rocks from the planet below form a path to the outer ballast structure.
- Dockyards: This camp near Hydroponics gets a massive upgrade, combining nostalgic elements of the original Olympus with a new focus on vertical gameplay.

Movement updates (Mantle Boost & Trident)
True to the new season's nickname ('Amped'), Apex Legends Season 27 brings some exciting gameplay changes. Probably the most interesting are the changes to movement.
It has always been possible to climb walls and overcome obstacles with parkour moves in Apex Legends. With the new season, however, the movement repertoire reaches completely new heights - thanks to the Mantle Boost .

The new mantle boost gives players a forward thrust when they pull themselves up from edges or walls. This allows legends to dive into the next fight even faster. There is a new indicator that shows when and how this movement ability can be activated.
The Trident also gets improved collision detection and its own vehicle health (including visual effects), making it more entertaining to drive as well as fight.
05
Alternator Buff: Double Tap-Hop-Up
Despite its high damage values, the Alternator has led a shadowy existence in the field of MPs. This will change with Apex Legends Season 27, because the "Double Tap" Hop-Up brings new, even more devastating firepower at short range for the Alternator!

This attachment allows you to fire from both barrels at the same time and thus decide battles, especially at short range.
The hop-up differs greatly from the previous versions, as shots from both barrels are fired exactly simultaneously (and not with a delay as before). This means exactly double the damage output.
06
