The new season of Apex Legends has launched, and most of the attention is rightly on the new legend Loba. But another character has been given a serious makeover in Season 5, finally making Mirage a more competitive threat and expanding his bag of tricks. Here's exactly how he's changed for the better so you can quickly get back to the top of the leaderboard in battle royale matches, or keep yourself from getting eliminated by Mirage.

　　In a message in the official patch notes, Respawn says it hopes the rework gives Mirage more depth and allows players "avenues to get better at Bamboozling people." That means the trickster legend gets a bunch of adjustments to his decoy, including the ability to control it directly by having it mimic movements. It will also last for 60 seconds, and releasing a new decoy will remove the previous one.

　　But that's not all. Mirage will also get a revised Ultimate, Life of the Party, which deploys a team of decoys, all imitating his movements like a flash mob. He also gets some extra utility by turning on cloaking whenever using a respawn beacon or reviving a teammate.

　　Apex Legends Season 5 naturally comes with a new battle pass and the associated rewards, huge changes to the King's Canyon map, and a story mode to help flesh out the characters. Meanwhile, Respawn is also making balance changes to factors other than Mirage, like a very significant shotgun swap.
