One big change made to Wraith is her sprinting animation. She no longer runs like Naruto (or a Naruto fan intent on storming Area 51), hunched over with aerodynamic arm positioning. The Apex Legends News Twitter account has a clear, side-by-side illustration of this modification, which is breaking hearts across the Apex Legends community.
The designer continues: “Now we understand her old sprint was renowned and we dislike to see it go as well, but we think this is the very best method by far of bringing her in line without needing to strike her abilities once again. Depending upon what we see after these animations go live, we might even be able to put some power back into her capabilities (no guarantees though).”.
Why change it now? For a great factor, Respawn says. “Wraith dominates,” the designer explains in its spot notes, and rather of further nerfing her abilities (and risking of making Wraith “a lot less enjoyable to play”), Respawn looked at among her other special attributes: how she runs.

Respawn Entertainment dropped a considerable upgrade for Apex Legends on Monday, beginning the fight royale games cross-play beta, Flashpoint limited-time mode, and the Aftermarket Collection Event. According to Respawns patch notes, the update likewise includes balance changes to Legends like Bloodhound, Wraith, Loba, and Pathfinder.
Respawn discovered that Wraiths running animations “are special in just how much they artificially shorten her (by hunching over), therefore shrinking her shootable location from the point of view of the opponent. It does not seem like a lot, but taken together with her already little hitbox, its a lot of power.” Wraiths brand-new running animations are “a lot more upright and expose a larger area of her body to shooting,” Respawn says.
