Mirage will receive a buff in Apex Legends Season 5, Apex Legends design director Jason McCord confirmed Friday on Twitter.

McCord, responding to a fan question about whether a rumored Mirage buff would arrive in the Apex Legends Season 5 patch itself or in a later one released during the season, said the buff would arrive at the patch's initial release.

"Patch notes coming on Tuesday!" McCord wrote. "(Mirage fans should be happy)."

Mirage players have clamored for a buff to the tricky Legend, who many complain suffers from an underpowered ultimate ability, for months. Lead Apex Legends game designer Carlos Pineda previously confirmed buffs were coming, but did not specify a timeframe.

A rumor repeated by prominent data miner iLootGames claims Mirage will gain the Emergency Dance Party ability from the Dummies Big Day event, which spawns several clones that mimic Mirage's movement. Respawn Entertainment has not commented on the rumor.
