A big nerf is on the horizon.
The Havoc meta is finally getting nerfed with the Apex mid season 21 patch notes. The Havoc has been a super oppressive weapon in the last couple of seasons of Apex Legends.
Balance developer John Larson told esports.gg back in May that his loadout was Havoc, Havoc and then a third Havoc if he played Ballistic.
This weapon has now been hit with a large magazine nerf, which should help bring the weapon under control.
4x-10x Digital Threat Scope
Bloodhound also getting a nerf
Alongside the Havoc, Bloodhound is also getting a nerf. They are a very high pick at the top level of Apex Legends and have a strong synergy with Bangalore. Bangalore smoke is also getting a change.

These are big changes, here is what the developers say in their Apex patch notes blog:
“Sometimes even the best teams break up and go their separate ways. Bloodhound’s Ult has always had a strong synergy with Bangalore’s smoke, but the pairing has recently become dominant and a singular answer to the “can’t see stuff” meta. With the removal of threat vision through smoke, Bloodhound will need to rely on their Tac scan like other Recon Legends. This should remove the necessity for the dynamic duo to pair together and allow for new roster compositions to form in its wake.
We were noticing how much the White Raven passive would fall off in the late game as enemies are naturally closer, making Raven’s Blessing upgrade much less valuable after the first ring. The new Level 3 upgrade will allow players to play off White Ravens across the match and fuel their Ult more effectively.
Alternatively, players can now tap back into some of Bloodhound’s old scan potential while in their Ult. These changes aim to shift power away from simply securing knocks for late game benefit and into more opportunities to use the Ult or the Tac through new upgrade choices.”
