Ash changes in Apex Legends

Ash's passive recharges faster and moves at a higher speed.

Predator's Pursuit (Passive): Cooldown 12s → 10s

• Predator's Pursuit (Passive)
• Cooldown 12s → 10s
• Velocity 425 → 450

TipHer dash is two seconds off its cooldown and noticeably quicker, so closing on a tethered target or breaking out of a close-range fight is cheaper than you remember.

Ash is weaker overall: the dash has a longer cooldown and Arc Snare lasts less time, pulls less and no longer does extra shield damage. New Level 2 upgrades improve Phase Breach.

Abilities: Passive: Predator's Pursuit: Dash cooldown 8s → 12s

• Abilities
• Passive: Predator's Pursuit
• Dash cooldown 8s → 12s
• Dash gives less of a boost when not dashing in the direction you're moving
• Tactical: Arc Snare
• Breaks more easily, base duration now 6s (was 8s)

• Doesn't deal extra damage to shields
• Upgrades

• Dual Breach & Marked for Death: removed
• NEW Longer Reach: increases Phase Breach range by 25m
• NEW Ultimate Cooldown: reduces Phase Breach cooldown by 30s

Ash's dash cools down faster, but the tactical tether holds slightly less well against enemies pulling hard. Ghost in the Machine is removed, and the new Charged Knock upgrade gives health regen on a knock.

• Predator's Pursuit (Passive): Dash cooldown 10s → 8s
• Arc Snare (Tactical): slightly decreased tether strength when pulling hard (like when using movement abilities)
• Upgrades: Level 2
• Dual Breach: moved to Level 2
• NEW Charged Knock: gain HP regen on a knock
• Upgrades: Level 3
• Ghost in the Machine: removed
• Greedy Snare and Twin Snares: moved to Level 3

Ash's Predator's Pursuit no longer shows Death Box locations or pings on the minimap, and Ash's ultimate portal takes longer to travel through at both short and long distances.

• Predator’s Pursuit: removed Death Box minimap locations/pings
• Previous hotfix
• Ult max distance travel time 1.4s → 2.5s
• Ult min distance travel time 0.3s → 0.5s

TipHer ultimate is less guaranteed info - enemy positioning matters more since they won't see where boxes land.

Ash can no longer scan Death Boxes to reveal killers but gains an air dash, Arc Snare's tether is harder to break, and Phase Breach reaches further and travels faster, with reworked upgrades.

Predator’s Pursuit: Removed ability to scan Death Boxes to reveal killers, but they’ll still show on the minimap and map with info on how recently they died

TipAim the tether at the ground or wall beside a moving target: it anchors where the projectile lands, not on the player it hits. On Predator's Pursuit, save the jump press for after you are airborne to get the dash.

Ash now throws Arc Snare with the left hand, so it no longer puts away your weapon or interrupts consumables, and Phase Breach now highlights nearby enemies for anyone traveling through the Void.

Arc Snare: Changed to left-hand cast

• Arc Snare
• Changed to left-hand cast
• No longer stows weapons or interrupts consumable use when launching
• Phase Breach: inspired by some Alter tech, nearby enemies will be highlighted for players traveling through the Void

Ash is slowed less while aiming the tactical, moving at weapon sprint speed instead of walk speed.

Now gets slowed to weapon sprint speed instead of weapon walk speed when targeting with her tac
