Apex Legends players are enjoying the new Season 15 Eclipse that went live yesterday. There are tons of new content to go through, including a Moon map, a level-changing Legend, and more. The entry-level requirement for Ranked mode is also increased to 20, from the previous 10.
That’s not all though as the latest season brings several balancing changes to the game. One of the most important tweaks is made to Crate Rotation. Mastiff is removed from the crate and is now ground loot. RE-45 with Disruptor Rounds is available via Crate only.
Anvil Received (R-301, Flatline) is added back in both crafting bundles and floor loot. Peacekeeper and M600 Spitfire are now available exclusively via Crafter, while Havoc and P2020 are made ground loot again.
