VERSION 4.20.0 — OFFICIAL LOG

Apex Tactics: Season 19 Balance Rework & TTK Adjustments

Published: February 24, 2026 Developer: Apex Game Studios Category: Weapon & Hero Balance

Developer Notes

Welcome to Patch 4.20.0! Our primary target in this update is tuning the mid-range time-to-kill (TTK) back into line with high-skill rifle play. SMGs were dominant across close and mid-tier firefights during Season 18. We are slightly increasing SMG recoil drift while rewarding precise single-fire marksman weapon headshots.
