Although Caustic’s new buff for Nox Gas can cancel the passive movement abilities of Ash and Sparrow, they seem to be popular picks.In Platinum, Revenant and Alter take the fourth and fifth highest-picked characters. Both legends are great for initiating fights and make it relatively easy to retreat whenever necessary.In Diamond, Master, and Predator, a similar trend continues with Ash having the highest pick rate. Bangalore, Alter, Caustic, and Revenant stay in the top 5 and are likely preferred for their ability kit, which enables teams to fight or anchor zones with relative ease.Apex Legends Season 26 has also integrated a lot of weapon changes, including Hop-Ups that come attached with certain guns. Fans can also try experimenting with different loadouts and team compositions to find the best setup for themselves, instead of following the most meta picks.Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more updates, guides, and news.Apex Legends Season 26 Split 1 Battle Pass: All rewards, price, and is it worth buying?Apex Legends Season 26 patch notesAll weapon buffs and nerfs in Apex Legends Season 26Apex Legends will reportedly feature a dual katana Heirloom
