Skirmisher Class revamp in Apex Legends Season 25
Apex Legends Season 25 will see a massive buff with additional perks being given to the Skirmisher Class legends. This has been confirmed by the Lead Game Designer, RV-Devan, on the Reddit AMA Takeover. With every other class getting their own buffs and perks, the Skirmisher class was overdue. Seeing how Respawn is embracing movement in Apex Legends, these skirmisher class perks will most likely give further movement perks to these legends. These movement perks could be in the form of passive double jumps and wall running.

-He’s on our radar as a key target to revitalize soon
-After Assault & Skirmisher, we’ll start looking into underperforming legends
-We’ll have him back on his feet, soon
Caustic
-Caustic’s balance lives on the edge of a knife

-No plans for a full Caustic rework
-We’re not letting him fester and plan to give Caustic some love soon
Is Faide coming to Apex Legends?
In the Reddit AMA, the developers at Respawn Entertainment were asked the question, “Will Faide and Rhapsody from Apex Legends Mobile, ever make a return to the game?” To this, the Lead Game Designer, RV-Devan, responded that “there are currently no plans to add the Mobile Legends to Apex.”
However, some prior leaks had revealed Faide’s ability being tested in the main game of Apex Legends. The abilities were also released as an event in pubs to test it out with actual players. So the above statement is not being taken seriously by the community and expecting Faide’s eventual release in the distant future.
