Here are what all the new classes are in Apex Legends for Season 16 and which Legend will be in each class.

Apex Legends will be changing dramatically in Season 16, Revelry, and one of the major changes being made are that each Legend has now been assigned a Remastered Class.

There are five classes that these Legends have been allocated to and each class has a specific perk for each Legend in it. Here are the Remastered Classes for Season 16 of Apex Legends:

• Assault – More ammo per stack and have access to ‘red’ loot bins
• Skirmisher – Reveal Care Packages
• Recon – Survey Beacon which shows enemy locations
• Controller – Ring Console – Shows the next circle
• Support – Craft Banners and have access to ‘blue’ bins

Apex Legends Class Changes

Here is a more detailed look into what the classes are in Apex Legends and which Legend is in each class.

Assault – Combat Utility & Initiation

Assault Legends are mobile armories, armed to the teeth and ready for battle. Their core patterns revolve around using their abilities to force opponents to make combat decisions that play to their advantage, opening them up for an assault.

Assault Legends are always prepared for a fight, able to gear up quickly from the hidden compartments of Weapon Supply Bins, and stock more ammunition than other Legends. Which gives them extra space for other items—often grenades.

The perks of the Legends in the Assault class are:

• Access the Secret Compartment of Weapon Supply Bins
  • Contains 4 “smart loot” attachments for you or your team’s current loadout
  • One loot slot is reserved for optics
  • Chances for a magazine & hop ups are lower than for other gear
  • If the secret compartment is opened while no one on your team has a weapon, a weapon will drop with 2 attachments for it
  • Min Tier for all attachments is RARE
• Carry more ammo per ammo stack
  • Light, Heavy and Energy ammo can stack one extra
  • Shotgun & Sniper Ammo has a reduced extra stack

The Legends in this class are:

• Ash
• Bangalore
• Fuse
• Mad Maggie
• Revenant

Skirmisher – Combat Mobility & Escape

Skirmishers can move in or get out of tight situations more quickly than other Legends. They are often the first into a fight or are the ones creating rotation options for their team. With this perk, Skirmishers can gain early insight into the contents of a Care Package, to ascertain its worth and make a play for it quickly if desired.

The perks of the Legends in the Skirmisher class are:

• Can spot incoming Care Packages to see the highest value contents in them
  • Care Packages are revealed by looking at them for a few seconds
    • They can be spotted in the air as they fall OR
    • At their landing location, if within range
  • Can also see when the item has been taken by another team (turns grey)
  • Can ping map icons or in-world icons for team

The Legends in this class are:

• Horizon
• Mirage
• Octane
• Pathfinder
• Wraith

Recon – Enemy Intel & Tracking

Recon Legends are all about scouting, and gathering enemy intel about their enemies to give their team the tactical advantage. These Modified Survey Beacons lean into their enemy-scouting role, revealing a snapshot of all enemy positions (similar to Crypto’s prior Town Takeover). With this intel, Recon players can plot rotations for their team either to avoid heavy enemy presence, or to move in to ambush an isolated squad.

There is risk to this knowledge however, as enemies nearby will be alerted to the beacon’s use and will know they have been tracked. Others far outside of the large range are still revealed, but will receive no update.

The perks of the Legends in the Recon class are:

• Can Use Modified Survey Beacons
  • Reveal all enemy positions on the Map/Mini-Map for 30s
  • Enemies in pulse range are alerted to beacon use

The Legends in this class are:

• Bloodhound
• Crypto
• Seer
• Vantage

Controller – Area Setup & Control

Controller Legends place elements on the field to trap or fortify their position. They want enemies to fight them on their turf and excel at holding strong positions in the ring. Shifting circle knowledge to these Ring Consoles, allows the Legends who care most about setup to be responsible for knowing where they want to bunker down next. Unlike Survey Beacons, which are often located higher up, these new consoles can be found on more grounded areas in plazas and courtyards across the map.

The perks of the Legends in the Controller class are:

• Use Ring Consoles to find the next Ring Location

The Legends in this class are:

• Catalyst
• Caustic
• Rampart
• Wattson

Support – Team Survival & Supply

Support Legends have a more team-oriented focus. They look for opportunities to protect, recover, or resupply their allies. In the new Class System, the Support role has been expanded and allows these Legends to stock their team and keep them alive.

As visible locations on the map, Blue Bins will provide key rotation options when in need of meds or Survival items. Additionally, Support Legends can now recover Ally Banners from Crafting Stations, even if the banner has expired, giving new options to get the team back into the game.

The perks of the Legends in the Support class are:

• Craft ally banners (even if expired)
  • Current Cost = 30 Crafting Materials
  • Banner can be recovered from the Crafter once crafting is complete
  • A crafted Banner will contain all recoverable teammate
• Access Secret Compartments on Blue Bins
  • Compartment has increased chance for large health kits (Shield Batteries and Med Kits)
    • Compartments has unique Survival Item logic
    • Increased % of Heat Shields when outside the ring
    • Increased % of Mobile Respawn Beacon if carrying a teammate banner.
    • This logic has an internal limit (cannot be repeated) and will not trigger if already carrying the item.

The Legends in this class are:

• Gibraltar
• Lifeline
• Loba
• Newcastle

These changes are huge and has definitely got me looking forward to the next season of Apex Legends! Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
