"Apex Legends Season 18: Ranked Rewards, Release Date, Reworks, and New Additions"
Apex Legends Season 18 will introduce new ranked rewards, replacing dive trails with banner frames as end-of-season rewards for the top three ranks. The removal of dive trails aims to address toxic behaviors from players targeting those with trails. Additionally, animated badges will now be the default for all players based on their achieved rank, eliminating the need for splits in the season. The changes are expected to improve upon the underperforming Season 17.
