Seer changes in Apex Legends

Getting hit by Seer's tactical no longer slows how fast you can turn, so it is easier to fight back after being caught by it.

From 8/25 Hotfix: Removed turn slow when hit by the Tactical

Seer's Home Base upgrade speeds up the tactical less inside the ultimate zone and moves to level 3, Energizing Focus moves to level 2, and the tactical's turn slow is weaker.

Upgrades: From 7/2 Hotfix: Reduced the Home Base (Faster Tact Charge in Ult zone) Upgrade modifier to 2.5. This will make the Tactical cooldown 8 seconds instead of 5 while in the Ult zone.

• Upgrades
• From 7/2 Hotfix
• Reduced the Home Base (Faster Tact Charge in Ult zone) Upgrade modifier to 2.5. This will make the Tactical cooldown 8 seconds instead of 5 while in the Ult zone.
• Moved Home Base Upgrade to level 3
• Moved Energizing Focus (Regen shield on tact hit) Upgrade to level 2
• Focus of Attention (Tactical): Marked: Reduced the amount of turn slow that was being applied

Seer's heartbeat sensor switches on faster, the tactical lands sooner and slows harder, and the ultimate now briefly scans enemies in its area and shows footsteps of cloaked enemies inside it.

Heart Seeker (Passive): Increased the activation speed of the heartbeat sensor.

• Heart Seeker (Passive)
• Increased the activation speed of the heartbeat sensor.
• Decreased the interval time between heartbeats.
• Decreased activation time for unarmed ADSing
• Made the delay when aiming more consistent between weapon and unarmed.: This means the heartbeat sensor will appear at the same time regardless of the weapon you’re using.
• Focus of Attention (Tactical)
• Reduced the delay between the launch and hit.
• Improved the slow on hit, should now halt faster moving Legends more effectively.
• Exhibit (Ultimate)
• Upon deployment, there is now a quick 2 second scan of the area which will highlight any enemy in the area.: Enemies that enter the area after it’s deployed will also be scanned for 2 seconds.
• Cloaked enemies will now show footsteps if they are within the Ultimate zone.

Seer gets a broad buff: the longer heartbeat range and ultimate throw range are now standard, and the tactical recharges faster and scans longer but silences for less time. The dome is also bigger.

Abilities: Passive: Heart Seeker: Long View upgrade now permanent, increasing range for Passive + Tac to 75m (was 50m)

• Abilities

Seer's tactical reaches its targets much faster and finishes a little sooner, so it lands on enemies more quickly.

• Time for Tac to hit targets 1.4s → 0.8s
• Time for Tac to finish 1.0s → 0.9s

TipFaster tattoo scans let you rotate through info quicker - use it more frequently to track enemy movement.

Seer moves faster and quieter with Heartbeat Sensor up, Focus of Attention health bars last the full Silence, and the new Split Focus upgrade replaces Focus Scan with an extra tactical charge.

Heartbeat Sensor: Passive move speed has been increased to weapon sprint speed

• Focus of Attention: healthbars persist for duration of Silence
• Heartbeat Sensor
• Passive move speed has been increased to weapon sprint speed
• Passive is now quieter when active
• Upgrades
• Focus Scan: removed
• NEW Split Focus: gain an additional Tac charge

TipThe passive keeps up at weapon sprint speed now and runs quieter, so you can hold it open on the approach without trailing the squad. Split Focus adds a tac charge, so one can go purely on information.

Seer's tactical activates a little faster and now includes Racing Hearts, and a new Level 2 upgrade cuts the ultimate cooldown, with Artist's Reach and Long View changing levels.

• Focus of Attention: Activation delay 1.4 → 1.2s
• Upgrades
• Artist’s Reach: moved to Level 2
• Long View: moved to Level 3
• Racing Hearts: removed (now integrated into base Tactical)
• NEW Ultimate Cooldown: reduces Ult Cooldown by 30s (Level 2)

Weapons overheated by Ballistic's Whistler cool down sooner and faster, Loba's tactical comes back quicker, and Seer's tactical slows and silences for less time and takes longer to fire.

Ballistic’s Whistler: Delay before an overheated weapon starts cooling down 2s → 1s

• Ballistic’s Whistler
• Delay before an overheated weapon starts cooling down 2s → 1s
• How long it takes an overheated weapon to cooldown 12s → 8s

• Seer’s Focus of Attention
• Slow Duration 2.5s → 0.5s
• Silence Duration 10s → 8s

TipBallistic overheat management is more forgiving, Loba rotates more frequently, and Seer's info is less oppressive but still covers engagements.

Seer is weaker: the passive is louder to enemies and slower to activate, the tactical no longer shows a full body scan, and the ultimate lasts less time with a longer cooldown.
