Apex Legends Season 31 could give Crypto, Lifeline, and Revenant players plenty to experiment with. Early reports point to a drone rework, stronger support tools, and new perks for aggressive Revenant mains, alongside loot-filled Strongholds and an Akimbo Wingman.
Here’s a breakdown of the reported changes ahead of the update. These early details remain provisional until Respawn confirms them in its official Season 31 patch notes.
In brief:
- Crypto reportedly gets a battery-powered drone, Sentinel Mode, and simpler EMP activation.
- Lifeline and Revenant are tipped for buffs, including new perks and shorter ability cooldowns.
- Strongholds could offer valuable loot and team EVO, with an alarm revealing your position.
- Other reports include an Akimbo Wingman, a Mythic Volt skin, and new Legend cosmetics.
Lifeline Season 31 Buffs
Lifeline’s reported changes focus on keeping her mobile while giving her more ways to support the squad. The early details include:
- Tactical: A shorter D.O.C. cooldown.
- Passive: The ability to heal herself while gliding.
- Perk changes: A shield while reviving teammates and improved mobility in the air.
Healing while gliding sounds especially useful when you need to recover and reposition at the same time. The revive shield could also give Lifeline more room to rescue a teammate under pressure, though its size, durability, and exact behavior remain unclear.
The early information does not provide a specific cooldown reduction.
Crypto Season 31 Rework
Crypto’s reported rework centers on making his drone easier to use throughout a fight. The proposed battery system would let him recall and redeploy it without repeatedly waiting through long cooldowns.
The early changes include:
- Drone battery system: Battery-based operation with more flexible recalls and redeployments.
- Sentinel Mode: Alerts Crypto and his teammates when enemies are detected.
- EMP activation: An ultimate that can be triggered with a single button press.
If these changes arrive as described, Crypto could have an easier time keeping up with his squad while gathering information. Battery capacity, recharge speed, and Sentinel Mode’s detection rules will be key details to check in the final notes.
Revenant Season 31 Buffs and New Perks
Revenant is reportedly getting shorter Tactical and Ultimate cooldowns, plus upgrades that reward chasing down enemies. Coverage of the latest HYPERMYST leak also points to three new perks.
The reported perk effects are:
- Extend his Ultimate’s duration with each kill.
- Silence enemies after using Shadow Pounce.
- Automatically refresh an ability when a target is marked.
The last perk needs more explanation. The early wording does not clearly identify which ability refreshes or the exact conditions required. Likewise, the silence effect’s range and duration have yet to be established.
Strongholds Bring High-Tier Loot to Season 31
Strongholds are reportedly new loot locations with a catch: opening one triggers an alarm that reveals your position. According to HYPERMYST’s reported details, they contain:
- High-tier gear.
- Corrupted attachments.
- Team EVO.
Built-in cover and Hardlight would give your squad somewhere to defend the haul when another team comes looking.
That setup could make Strongholds busy spots for fights. You would be choosing between grabbing an upgrade for your squad and advertising a position that nearby enemies can push.
Akimbo Wingman in Apex Legends Season 31
An Akimbo Wingman is another major claim in the early Season 31 information. Dual-wielding the pistol would give players a new way to use it, but damage, accuracy, reload speed, and availability still need confirmation.
Some early posts describe the addition as confirmed, while earlier coverage identifies the Wingman specifically as a leak. For now, treat it as a reported addition while awaiting official verification.
Season 31 Skins and Mythic Volt Cosmetic
The early cosmetic lineup points to new skins for Wraith, Horizon, and Crypto. A Mythic Volt skin is also reportedly coming during Season 31.
Names, prices, release dates, and unlock requirements remain unverified. The reports also leave open whether these cosmetics arrive at launch or through events later in the season.
Three Free Apex Packs for Titanfall 2’s Anniversary
Separately, a report claims Apex Legends players will receive three free Apex Packs to celebrate Titanfall 2’s 10th anniversary.
The giveaway’s eligibility rules and claim window have not been verified. Treat it as a separate anniversary reward report rather than a guaranteed Season 31 launch bonus.
When Will the Full Season 31 Patch Notes Arrive?
The early information leaves several important balance details open, especially cooldown values, perk conditions, and weapon stats. Respawn’s full Season 31 patch notes will be needed to establish the final changes and how they work in matches.
