Apex Legends: Cipher Season launches November 3

Apex Legends Electronic Arts Respawn Entertainment battle royale video game update

Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment have announced that Season 31 of Apex Legends, titled “Cipher,” will launch on November 3. The update introduces significant gameplay changes, most notably a complete overhaul for the Legend Crypto. His Surveillance Drone will now operate on a battery system rather than a traditional cooldown, allowing for more frequent redeployment, and will feature a new “Sentry Mode” to automatically tag enemies for the squad.

Other Legend updates include buffs for Revenant, who will receive a shorter Ultimate cooldown and faster Tactical ability, and Lifeline, who will benefit from reduced D.O.C. cooldowns and the ability to self-heal while gliding. New combat elements include the “Akimbo Wingman,” allowing players to dual-wield revolvers, and “Strongholds,” high-risk/high-reward locations that provide top-tier loot but trigger alarms upon entry.

Additionally, a new “Legend Ban” system will be implemented in Ranked matches for Diamond-tier lobbies and above. This system uses a weighted random selection based on player votes to determine which Legends are unavailable during a match, aiming to shift the competitive environment.
