Apex Legends update nerfs Wattson Ultimate Ability in Season 10
Apex Legends’ Evolution Collection Event seems to have had an adverse effect on Wattson as the new update appears to have nerfed her Ultimate, making it unable to destroy projectiles properly.
New Collection Events are always fun in Apex Legends as they welcome a new Heirloom, and can even have a character completely takeover a town.
The Evolution Collection Event has done all of this, implemented some weapon balancing changes, and tinkered with Legends such as Rampart – finally giving her an Heirloom.
Though, one Legend change seems to be inadvertent as Wattson’s Ultimate Ability is now virtually ineffective compared to its former state.
The problem was noticed and brought up by Twitter user @lilakeyLK, a self-proclaimed fan of Wattson, they inevitably noticed the problem very quickly.
“Huge bug/Nerf for Wattson in the latest patch. Pylon does NOT currently destroy grenades properly, and it does NOT block ordinance within the inner radius a majority of the time,” said lilakeyLK.
In normal circumstances, Wattson’s Pylon comes with several advantages: repairing damaged shields, speeding up Wattson’s tactical recharge rate, and eliminating inbound ordinance.
As the clip in the Tweet showed, the Pylon seems to be unable to detect the presence of thrown explosives and other throwable equipment.
Even though Wattson has one of the lower pick rates in Apex Legends Season 10, players who main her will be frustrated that her Ultimate has been unexpectedly nerfed.
However, given the unusual change, we fully expect Respawn Entertainment to be on the case and will surely be prepping a fix for the game.
