What are Legend Amps in Apex Legends Season 26?

Legend Amps in Apex Legends Season 26 are special items that will be available in both Unranked and Ranked matches. They can be equipped in a new slot available in the inventory, and enjoy different perks with each. One player can equip only one Amp at a time. Every perk comes with some prerequisites or has a compensating effect as a balancing measure.

There are various Legend Amps that will become available after the update goes live. The effects range from providing an extra bit of armor, increasing the efficiency of small heals like Syringes and Cells, enabling infinite Shield Batteries to Infinite Ammo, and recharging tactical when knocking down an opponent. These are great power-ups and will be effective for players who wish to play a different category (like Support) but take initiative in team fights as a front liner.

The developers will likely introduce balance changes and more Legend Amps in future updates. Apex Legends Season 26 is bringing a lot of big changes to the game, and it will likely affect and change the meta completely.

Other than the Amp items, legend buffs to Caustic, Bangalore, and the entire Controller class can potentially make it more balanced for defensive players. Moreover, the new ALGS-style dropship feature for Ranked will help teams gather necessary loot without being rushed into fights directly after landing on the map.
