A Respawn Entertainment developer has confirmed our favorite robot is receiving a much-needed buff. Apex Legends has had fairly balanced Legends throughout the years, but certain characters are left behind. Recently, Pathfinder fans have been clamoring for a new buff and Respawn has answered.

The biggest complaint was the massive nerf to his Grappling Hook, extending the cooldown to 35 seconds. While it's understandable to increase the cooldown as the original time of 15 seconds was too high, 35 seconds is absurd.

That's when Apex Legends producer Josh Medina responded a twitter account acting as a Respawn Dev. While the original tweet was talking about a Pathfinder tweet and trying to make Respawn Entertainment look bad, Medina responded rather positively saying the account made some good points, and, "[Pathfinder] is going to receive some love."

What that will actually look like is unknown, but expect Respawn to make Pathfinder a much more viable pick in the current Apex Legends meta.
