In Brief

  • Wattson is reportedly receiving a buff in Apex Legends Season 31 Split 2.

Wattson Buff Reportedly Coming in Apex Legends Season 31 Split 2

According to Apex Legends leaker Osatou_Apex, Wattson is among the Legends expected to receive balance changes when Season 31 Split 2 arrives on December 16.

The leak specifically mentions an adjustment to her Level 2 left upgrade, “Help Is Here,” although the exact changes haven’t been revealed.

Here’s what we know so far:

  • Legend: Wattson
  • Expected release: December 16, 2026
  • Affected perk: Level 2, Help Is Here
  • Additional changes: Unknown

As of writing, it’s unclear whether Respawn plans to improve the existing perk, replace it with something new, or make additional adjustments to Wattson’s abilities.

What Does Wattson’s Help Is Here Perk Do?

Wattson’s “Help Is Here” perk currently grants her access to all Support Class perks despite being a Controller Legend.

This allows her to provide additional utility to her squad, including:

  • Accessing Support Bins for additional supplies.
  • Reviving teammates faster with health regeneration.
  • Gaining access to Mobile Respawn Beacons through the banner recovery system.

The perk gives Wattson extra flexibility, allowing her to help teammates recover while maintaining her usual defensive playstyle.

An adjustment to this upgrade could potentially change how Wattson supports her squad, particularly during Ranked matches.

More Wattson Changes Could Be Revealed Soon

Wattson has already received several improvements over recent seasons, including stronger fences, faster deployment, and additional defensive utility.

However, the latest leak doesn’t reveal whether her tactical, passive, or ultimate abilities will receive further changes.

With Season 31 Split 2 reportedly arriving on December 16, players will have to wait for Respawn’s official patch notes to learn exactly what’s changing.

As always, these details are based on leaks and should be treated as unconfirmed until Respawn makes an official announcement.
