Fear no more, Horizon should be audible (we hope…)
Respawn have revealed some major Horizon audio fixes as part of the mid-season Apex patch notes. The adjustments, tweaks and balances will arrive alongside the Apex Legends x Final Fantasy 7 event.
Other changes impact Catalyst and Rampart, as well as the R-99 and CAR SMG. There are also several changes to Storm Point, and a new map rotation too.
Apex patch notes: Horizon changes
Horizon has long been an area of controversy in Apex Legends. This will be the 10th time Horizon has seen changes since she was released in November 2020.
Poor audio from Horizon’s falling has often been a complaint of those facing the gravity-defying space mom. Players find themselves jumpscared by a silent Horizon all too frequently in game.
Newcastle
Rampart
There are other small adjustments to Rampart and Newcastle, improving some of their interactions against other legends. Catalyst, who has been popular since release, also gets another slight nerf. This change reduces the ability to use her Piercing Spikes as an early warning system.

Apex Patch Notes: Storm Point changes
After the major Storm Point rework at the start of Season 19, it is not a surprise to see several tweaks to the map.
Notably, there is now an extra Ring Console on the map. One has been added to Costal Camp. Additionally, the missing Console from Command Centre is also back. Lightning Rod, which accidentally kept the spawns from Thunder Watch before those two POI’s combined, loses those as part of this update.

The Apex patch notes bring some changes to two notable Apex SMG’s, as well as a refresh of the weapons in the crafter.
Crafting Rotation
Weapons
Apex developers have been fighting hard to balance the power of SMG’s in the game. With a buff to the Mastiff and reduced damage to both the CAR SMG and the R99, the gap between SMG’s and Shotguns should close even further.
