Apex Legends Update Adjusts RE-45 Elite and Evo Harvesters

Apex Legends tuning reduces the RE-45 Elite magazine size and alters Evo Harvester spawn rates across all maps.

Respawn Entertainment rolled out tuning changes for the RE-45 Elite and resource distribution on battle royale maps.

RE-45 Elite Tuning

The RE-45 Elite has a magazine size reduced by 3 at all tiers. Horizontal and vertical recoil were increased, and projectile size was scaled down to match other pistols.

Evo Harvester Spawns

Evo Harvester spawn rates increased from approximately 7 to roughly 10 per map. The update also reduced the chance of multiple harvesters spawning in a single POI.

Why this patch matters

The update tweaks RE-45 handling while spreading Evo Harvesters more evenly across map POIs.
