Apex Legends will release a new update on June 29th, along with the Genesis event. It will also include changes to the Arenas mode. These changes will impact the prices of weapons that players can purchase before rounds begin and balance adjustments for different Legends abilities and changes to the Arenas maps. The updated patch notes have detailed what is happening in the Arenas mode.
Arenas changes concern the weapon options and their costs. The second most significant change is in the prices and cooldowns of abilities, with only a small amount of notes being dedicated to the actual maps. There will be some bugs fixed in the patch.
