Over 100 ways to customise legends in Apex Season 26.
Apex Season 20 introduced all new Legend perks when it released back on February 13, 2024. Officially titled 'Legend Upgrades' these legend perks will provide all new ways to customise your next game of Apex.
You will be offered a choice for your first Legend Perk in a match when you level up your EVO Armor to Level 2 (Blue), and your second can be chosen with EVO Armor Level 3 (Purple). Every Perk is unique to that specific Legend.
There has been some changes to Perks since that system released.
So, what perks does each legend currently have in Apex Season 26? Here is a breakdown:
All Legend Perks in Apex
Here are all the legend perks that currently in the game.
Ash:
- LVL 2:
- Dual Breach - Gain a Phase Breach charge
- Marked For Death - View enemy deathboxes on the map.
- LVL 3:
- Greedy Snare - Arc Snare multiple enemies. Greatly increase lifetime to 15 seconds.
- Twin Snares - +1 Tac charge
Ash gets some pretty good perks in this system. Her level two perks will suit either aggressive or defensive players. Then, the Lasting Snare could even be as good as a Horizon Black Hole in certain situations if you have arc stars.
Alter
- LVL 2:
- Eye to another world: Gain access to Survey Beacons
- Controller of Worlds - Gain access to Ring Consoles and overcharge
- LVL 3:
- Staring into the Void - Extended portal scan
- Void Breacher -Buffed movement and weapon handling after going through a portal
Ballistic:
- LVL 2:
- Extra Bullets - Double Tac charges
- Killing time - +15 seconds Ult Duration
- LVL 3:
- lasting Bullet - Whistler lasts 3x as long in world
- Quiet Time - Whistler can silence enemies
Bangalore:
- LVL 2:
- Electric Smoke - Tactical acts as an EMO, destroying enemy tacticals and dealing 100 damage to Ultimates
- Cover Me - Allies regenerate HP while inside smoke and auto pings enemies who trigger passive.
- LVL 3:
- ECM Payload - Ultimate deals 10 more damage and destroys all enemy deployables
- Medal of Honor - Faster revives and passive triggers running towards knocked allies
Bangalore has surprisingly strong perks, given her place in the game. Her Ultimate, one of the strongest in the game, gets a cooldown buff. Then you can either get scans on enemies, or some health regen.
Bloodhound Apex legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Odin's Glare - Double Tac full-body scan duration
- Ravens Blessing - White Ravens charge Ult
- LVL 3:
- Sighthound - Reduced Tac cooldown by 50% while Ultimate is active
- Flock- Remove enemy range requirement for White Raven spawns
Bloodhound also has a solid roster of perks. Sighthound will be particularly enticing for those Bloodhound mains who want to take a lot of fights.
Catalyst:
- LVL 2:
- Sister Spikes - +1 max active Spikes
- Long Veil - Increase Dark Veil length
- LVL 3:
- Resilient Veil - Increase Dark Veil lifetime
- Ferr-Door - Rebuild and reinforce missing doors.
Catalysts level two legend perks essentially revert her Apex Season 19 nerfs. You can only get one or the other though! No Show and Long Form, depending on how much of an improvement they provide, are also great perks.
Caustic:
- LVL 2:
- Extra Traps - +2 Traps in world and additional tactical charge
- Breathe it in - Regen HP when inside Nox Gas
- LVL 3:
- Gas Fighter - Tactical recharges 300% faster when inside Nox Gas
- Particle Diffuser - Increased gas area for ult
Breathe It In might be one of the most terrifying of all the Apex perks coming to any of the legends. Diffuse also seems like it could be very effective, especially later in the game. Imagine a final circle, filled with your gas, and you're healing inside it? Uh oh...
Conduit Apex legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Battpack - +1 Shield Battery stack limit. Shield Battery stack count shown on Deathboxes.
- Bigger Jam - Increased Ult damage radius
- LVL 3:
- Split Charge - +1 Tac charge, -50% shield heal duration
- Radiant Transfer - +10m Tac range
Conduit gets some pretty average perks in Apex Legends Season 23. This makes sense, as she is already a very powerful legend. Split Charge is a really interesting concept.
Crypto:
- LVL 2:
- Network Expansion - +25% Passive and Ult range
- Off the Grid - Crypto cloaks when in Drone
- LVL 3:
- Satellite Imagery - +1.5s Scan Duration. Scans on Ult hit.
- Hackathon - Double Drone recharge rate and a speed boost when it is destroyed
Fuse:
- LVL 2:
- Scar Tissue - Ignore slow and 50% damage from Ult
- Ringmaster - Gain access to Ring Consoles
- LVL 3:
- Wreckless - -50% explosive damage
- Knuckle Hustler - Speed Boost on Knuckle Cluster hit
Fuse gets some pretty solid perks. Wreckless might help those Fuse players out there that just can't help but take damage to their own ordinance.
Gibraltar Apex legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Big Bruddah - Increase Ult radius by 20%
- Fast Shotties - Auto reload shotguns on knocks, move faster with Shotguns
- LVL 3:
- Baby Bubble - Smaller bubble. Faster cooldown
- Bubble Bunker - +4s Tac lifetime
Gibraltar gets refreshed perks in Apex Legends Season 23, this includes the excellent Big Bruddah and Bubble Bunker perks.
Horizon:
- LVL 2:
- Tactical Cooldown - Reduced Tac cooldown
- Ultimate Cooldown - -14% Ult cooldown
- LVL 3:
- Conservation of Energy - Passive grants 25 HP when landing
- Combat Reserve - Gain access to Assault Class bins, extra ammo and extra grenade slots
Like Conduit, Horizon's legend perks are pretty uninspiring, but as she is one of the strongest Legends in Apex this makes a lot of sense.
Lifeline:
- LVL 2:
- Extended Flight - 1.5s extra Glide with D.O.C
- Battpack - +1 Shield Battery stack limit and Shield Battery count shown on deathboxes
- LVL 3:
- Enhanced Radio - Increased D.O.C assignment distance
- Tactical Cooldown+ - Reduce Tactical cooldown by 10 seconds
Lifeline gets all new Perks to coincide with Season 23's Lifeline rework. Extended Flight is a no-brainer, but the Level Three perks are a tossup between what will be most useful.

Loba:
- LVL 2:
- Wolf's Claws - Faster weapon draw and speed boost after translocating
- Shopping Spree - Loba can take an extra item from Black Markets
- LVL 3:
- Escape Artist - Regen 25 shield after translocating
- Brand New Bag - Grants entire squad Gold Packpacks
Loba gets decent power from her legend perks. The Apex armour changes were a bit of a Loba nerf, so we could have perhaps seen some extra power here. Maybe Shopping Spree should've been for the whole team for instance.
Mad Maggie Apex legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Fire Ball - Wrecking Ball catches fire and explodes in thermite.
- Shots Shots Shots - Auto-Reload shotguns on knock.
- LVL 3:
- Big Drill - Increase depth and width of Tactical by 50%.
- Drillslinger - Gain a Riot Drill charge; reduce active duration by 25%.
Mad Maggie is another big winner from the new Legend Upgrade system. She gains a range of extra firepower, with Fireball seeming particularly strong.
Mirage:
- LVL 2:
- Renaissance Man - Use Survey Beacons, Ring Consoles, Munition Boxes and scan Care Packages
- Boozle-Eye - Successful Bamboozles also highlight enemies
- LVL 3:
- Me Two - +1 Tac charge
- Bamboozle Bonus - Bamboozles refresh Tac
More Me allows you to cause great chaos with Mirage, as does Me Two.
Newcastle Apex legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Hero's Hustle - Increase Revive Move Speed
- Swift Shield - Increase Mobile Shield speed to sprint speed
- LVL 3:
- Ultimate Savior - Castle Wall slam grants 15 seconds of Shield Regen to allies in the impact area
- Stronghold - Increase Castle Wall HP and energized duration
Newcastle's new Ultimate Savior is an amazing perk, that can prove a game changer in Apex Legends games.
Octane:
- LVL 2:
- Thick Skin - -25% Stim damage
- Mad Hops- -+1 Ult charge
- LVL 3:
- Airborn Agility - Change directions on double-jump
- Thick Skin - -25% Stim damage
Is there a more lore-accurate legend perk in Apex than Wreckless? Aerial Agility might be your only way to tap strafe on controller in Apex Season 20.
Pathfinder:
- LVL 2:
- Field Research - Gain access to Survey Beacons
- Ringmaster - Gain access to Ring Consoles
- LVL 3:
- Feeling Zippy - Gain a second zipline charge
- Grapple God - Gain a second grapple charge
Pathfinder is another big winner with the addition of legend perks in Apex. For ALGS teams, Pathfinder might be viable once more. For aggressive players, Grapple God lets you get in, kill someone, and get out.
Rampart Apex Legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Ultimate Cooldown - -20% Ult cooldown
- Bandolier - Carry extra ammo per stack
- LVL 3:
- Ramped Up - Improved Sheila handling and spinup time
- Amped Reloads - Faster reloads with Sheila & Amped Cover
Fighting a Rampart in a 1v1 might actually be pretty dangerous now. Previously Shiela's slow spin up made it hard to take someone out directly.
Revenant:
- LVL 2:
- Ultimate Cooldown - Reduces Ult cooldown by 30s
- Try to Hide - Doubles the duration low health enemies are marked
- LVL 3:
- Tactical Cooldown - Reduced Tac cooldown
- Agile Assassin - Total Shadow Pounce attack and charge time reduced by 50%
Revenant, another powerful legend, also gets some pretty tame perks in the new system. They are mostly focused around his tactical. After all, his Ultimate can't really get any stronger.
Sparrow:
- LVL 2:
- Hunt Target - Sparrow will get a speed boost when running towards a marked enemy
- Extra Traps - Gain an additional tac charge and +2 traps in the world
- LVL 3:
- Life Siphon - Sparrows Health and Shields are recovered if enemies are damaged by his ultimate
- Alternate Mode - Ultimate has 3 charged that fire fewer pulses in a smaller radius
Seer Apex legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Artists Reach - +20m Ult throw range
- Ultimate Cooldown - reduces Ult cooldown by 30s
- LVL 3:
- Split Focus - +1.5s scan duration
- Long View - +25m Pas/Tac range
Let's be honest. These legend perks won't help Seer move from his place as the least picked competitor in the Apex games. Not that that's really a bad thing...
Valkyrie:
- LVL 2:
- Afterburners - Launch higher with Skyward Dive
- Full Coverage - Missile Swarm widens to 3/5, reduces tactical cooldown.
- LVL 3:
- Eyes in the Sky: Enemies are revealed from further away and through Walls while Skydiving.
- Full Tank - +25% Jetpack fuel
Eyes in the Sky is a MUST PICK in Apex Legends games if you play Valkyrie.
Vantage:
- LVL 2:
- Controlling my Prey - Access ring consoles and gain overcharge
- Improved Mark - Snipers Mark becomes visible through walls
- LVL 3:
- Tactical Cooldown - Reduce Tac tooldown by 5s
- Sniper Cover - Attatch a Gunshield to your sniper ultimate
Vantage sit's in an awkward spot in Apex, and you'd be forgiven for assuming she'd get much better legend perks. Ultimate Efficiency is a really strange choice for Vantage, given she holds several charges in her weapon already. Unless it totally reloads your custom sniper...
Wattson Apex legend perks:
- LVL 2:
- Help is here - Access support bins, faster revive and deathbox contains a mobile respawn beacon
- Ultimate Conductor - Damage enemies to reduce Ult cooldown, knocks give 50%
- LVL 3:
- Power Pylon - Double Ult HP placed Ultimates regain charge
- Energised Healer - Syringes and Shield Cells heal double
Wattson is another big winner. Power Pylon and Emergency Power are both fantastic abilities, and you could easily use either one of them in most games. Revive Expert also suits the Wattson playstyle really well.
Wraith:
- LVL 2:
- Ultimate Cooldown+ - Reduced Ult cooldown
- Sixth Sense - Passive triggers when squads approach
- LVL 3:
- Tactical Cooldown - Reduced Tac cooldown
- Fast Phase - Faster Tac wind-up
I think we speak for every Apex player when we eagerly await the outcome of choosing Quick Shift. Does she get her old, Season 0, phase back? If she does, this might be the gamechanger Wraith has needed to get back to the top of the Apex games.
That's all the current perks coming in Apex Legends Season 26. Stay tuned to esports.gg for the latest Apex Legends and esports news
