The game developers constantly implement nerfs or buffs to bring the much-needed balance changes to the hero’s abilities and do justice to each character.

Apex Legends Pathfinder buff confirmed

Josh Medina, producer at Respawn Entertainment - Apex Legends, now confirmed that Pathfinder will be finally getting a buff, which has the fans excited.

Responding to the tweet, the real Josh Medina confirmed that it was obviously a troll, but also revealed that the fan-favourite robot will indeed receive the much-needed buff.

Josh did not offer any details on what will be the exact changes coming to Pathfinder, however, it is likely that there will be a slight reduction in the cooldown. Fans can also expect some changes to other areas of the character's kit. 

Pathfinder is one of the widely used characters in Apex Legends and is clearly one of the huge favourites among most players. Pathfinder mains have been requesting a Pathfinder buff for quite some time now and it appears that it will soon receive the necessary adjustments. Pathfinder had received a major nerf to his grappling ability which took the cooldown to 35 seconds from the previously set time of 15 seconds. It is obvious that the original cooldown was quite high, however, changing it to 35 seconds was a bit too much for players as it clearly knocked Pathfinder out of meta contention.

As of right now, it isn't clear when the change will be implemented, however, it may arrive with the upcoming Apex Legends update.
