The first batch of patch notes for Apex Legends Season 9 has dropped—including the anticipated “Legacy Update.”

The notes are a bit lengthy, so let’s just hop right in.

New Game Mode: Arenas
If you haven’t heard: the new game mode, Arenas, will be launching with the Legacy Update. We’ve gone over this in depth, but, as a refresher: this is a 3v3 multiple-round fight featuring a total of five maps—two brand new, three rotating biweekly—where squads can go head-to-head until a victor is crowned.
New Character: Kairi “Valkyrie” Imahara
The recently revealed legend, Valkyrie, is ready to fly following the update. Also known as Kairi Imahara, she is the daughter of another legend, Viper, and seeks to honor her family’s legacy thanks to a bit of tech help from Rampart. Valkyrie is a recon hero, and has the following abilities:
A brief message to all our lovely new Apex Legends Mobile testers:

For now we’ll be in a listening mode. Thanks, and have fun!

Weapons Buffs and Nerfs
There are two new hop-ups coming to Apex Legends: Death’s Tempo and Shatter Caps. The former offers an increased rate of fire according to a rhythm while the other splits rounds like a shotgun.
Additionally, a new weapon is being added to the game known as the Bocek Bow, which uses a new unique type of ammo: arrows. These are more difficult to find on the map, but stick to surfaces when shot and can be re-looted to fire again.
The following weapons have received changes from the developers:
Assault Rifles (AR)
Peacekeeper
Triple Take
Havoc
Spitfire
30-30 Repeater
G7 Scout

Other Notable Changes
Players should notice a new fleet of “mysterious ships” around Olympus. They’ve brought a “an otherworldly, parasitic plant” to the map that has already begun to take root on high buildings. The primary ship, “The Icarus,” is now accessible via those roots and is open to players.
Emotes are coming to Apex Legends. Each legend has one unique emote once they’ve been unlocked. Emotes will throw players into third person. However, enemies that were no seen in first person will not be seen when emoting. Additional emotes can be found via Apex packs or crafting.
Players will now be able to re-roll one challenge per day for both general play and Arenas. They can even favorite them to keep track of their progress while playing.
A full list of all the changes can be found on Respawn’s Apex Legends website.
