Apex Legends Weapon Balance Update Adjusts RE-45

Apex Legends rolls out weapon balance changes targeting the RE-45, Charge Rifle, and 30-30. The RE-45 receives a partial damage buff following an over-nerf in a previous patch.

Apex Legends deploys a focused weapon balance update on Steam, modifying performance for the RE-45 alongside adjustments to the Charge Rifle and 30-30.

RE-45 Buff

Developers adjusted the RE-45 to restore some of its power after concluding that recent nerfs went too far. The pistol is now stronger than its previous nerfed state, though it stops short of matching its original release power.

Additional Weapon Adjustments

Alongside the RE-45 changes, the update introduces targeted balance adjustments to both the Charge Rifle and the 30-30 repeater.

Why this patch matters

A quick, targeted adjustment that dials back an excessive nerf on the RE-45 while tweaking other weapon stats.
