Alter could be getting some major changes in Apex Legends Season 31 Split 2, with a new leak suggesting that Respawn Entertainment plans to completely replace both of her Level 2 Legend upgrades.
According to reliable Apex Legends leaker Osatou, the upcoming changes will reportedly remove Alter’s ability to access Survey Beacons and Ring Consoles through her upgrades. In exchange, she could receive two new perks focused on improving her ultimate ability, Void Nexus.
The changes are reportedly planned for December 16, 2026, when Season 31 Split 2 is expected to begin.
In Brief:
- Alter is reportedly getting two completely new Level 2 upgrades in Apex Legends Season 31 Split 2.
- Her existing Recon and Controller class upgrades will be removed, meaning she will lose access to Survey Beacons and Ring Consoles through those perks.
- The replacement perks will reportedly increase Void Nexus teleportation range and improve healing after using the ultimate.
- The changes are rumored to arrive on December 16, 2026, but Respawn has yet to officially confirm them.
Apex Legends Alter Rework Leak Reveals New Level 2 Perks
According to Osatou, Alter’s two current Level 2 upgrades will be replaced with entirely new options during Season 31 Split 2.
Currently, Alter can choose between two upgrades that grant her access to abilities normally reserved for other Legend classes.
However, the leaked changes suggest Respawn wants to move away from those additional class perks and put more emphasis on Alter’s teleportation abilities.
Here’s a breakdown of the rumored changes.
Removed Level 2 Upgrades
Both of Alter’s existing Level 2 upgrades are reportedly being removed:
- Eye to Another World: Grants access to Recon class perks, including Survey Beacons.
- Controller of Worlds: Grants access to Controller class perks, including Ring Consoles.
If the leak turns out to be accurate, Alter will no longer be able to use Survey Beacons or Ring Consoles through these upgrades.
This could significantly impact her team utility, particularly in Ranked, where gathering information about enemy positions and upcoming ring locations can be extremely valuable.
New Level 2 Upgrades
Two new upgrades will reportedly take their place:
- Increased Ultimate Teleportation Range: Extends the distance at which Alter and her teammates can teleport back to her Void Nexus.
- Enhanced Healing After Using Ultimate: Improves healing after using Void Nexus, potentially allowing players to recover more effectively after escaping a fight.
The exact numbers and mechanics behind these upgrades haven’t been revealed yet.
However, both changes appear designed to strengthen Alter’s identity as an escape-focused Legend rather than allowing her to provide additional Recon and Controller utility.
Alter’s Void Nexus Could Become Much Stronger
Alter’s ultimate, Void Nexus, is already one of the strongest repositioning tools in Apex Legends.
The ability allows Alter and her teammates to teleport back to a previously placed device, giving squads a way to escape dangerous situations or recover after an unsuccessful push.
Increasing its teleportation range would provide more flexibility when positioning the Nexus before a fight.
Meanwhile, improved healing after teleporting could make it easier for squads to reset before taking another engagement.
Interestingly, Respawn previously nerfed Alter’s ultimate during Season 29, reducing its effective range and making it riskier to escape through Void Nexus.
The rumored new upgrades could restore some of that flexibility, although players would have to sacrifice the information-gathering benefits provided by her current Level 2 perks.
When Are Alter’s Balance Changes Coming to Apex Legends?
According to the leak, Alter’s new upgrades are scheduled to arrive with Apex Legends Season 31 Split 2 on December 16, 2026.
Season 31, titled Cipher, launched on November 3 with Crypto’s rework, the introduction of Akimbo Wingman, Strongholds, and several other balance changes.
Alter’s rumored adjustments would be another significant Legend update during the season.
However, Respawn Entertainment has not officially announced these changes, and the leaked upgrade details could still change before release.
