If you were one of the Apex Legends players who said the hidden Apex Legends Horizon nerf wouldn't have an impact on the character's popularity, we have some news for you: Horizon's pick rate is starting to drop - and it's quite a dramatic turn for the eccentric astrophysicist. We don't know about you, but we certainly think Horizon herself Elle Newlands would have something to say about this.
Several days ago, Respawn Entertainment introduced the Spellbound Collection Event - and a title update with a fresh set of Apex Legends patch notes - to the battle royale shooter. For the most part, this was a welcome update. In spite of continual criticisms from the community on the BR's monetisation, the Spellbound Collection Event saw the ever-popular Control LTM return alongside Seer's heirloom item and quite a few interesting cosmetics.
One thing the aforementioned patch notes failed to mention among the minor weapon balancing changes and bug fixes, however, was a rather secret Horizon nerf. Not only did Respawn Entertainment reduce weapon accuracy while ascending in Horizon's tactical ability Gravity Lift, it also reduced the affect of her Black Hole ultimate ability through walls and obstacles.
