What are Legend Upgrades in Apex Legends Season 20?

Legend Upgrades is a brand-new feature coming to Apex Legends with the launch of Season 20. This little addition will likely revolutionize how the game is played, starting from the grassroots up to the top-most level. The new upgrades are essentially perks that will be unique to each Legend, similar to stats add-ons one might find in an RPG game.
