Season 24 of Apex Legends means another round of upgrades changing in the game. The perks associated with Evo upgrades remain crucial to how strong a legend is, and Takeover has a few surprises in store.
Along with sweeping changes to Apex‘s assault class, legends like Ash and Ballistic got some significant buffs, part of which came through new upgrades that they received in season 24. If you want to know how best to build your favorite legend this season, read on.
