"Apex Legends Season 17: Major Changes to Legends and Support Class"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by GameSpot
Apex Legends Season 17 introduces new ping wheel options, changes to the ping system, and weapon rotations. The RE-45 returns to the floor loot pool, while the L-STAR takes its place in the Care Package. The Sentinel and Alternator will enter the Replicator, and the EVA-8 and 30-30 Repeater will replace them. The ping system now allows players to ping in-game objects with map icons, and Respawn has added a "special drop rate" for Legendary-tier optics in Weapon Supply Bins. Legend classes have also undergone drastic changes, with Mirage being reassigned to the Support class and gaining access to Support-exclusive abilities.
