"Apex Legends Season 17: Weapon Mastery, New Legend, and Ranked Updates"

Apex Legends Season 17 introduces a new long-term Weapon Mastery system that won't reset every season. Players progress through 100 levels for each weapon by inflicting damage, getting kills, and completing specific challenges called trials. Rewards include a legendary skin for each weapon, banner frames, performance trackers, and weapon-specific mastery level badges. The target time to complete each mastery is between 80-120 hours, depending on skill level.
