Apex Game Director on Cross-Progression:
"We’re definitely excited about cross-progression coming. It was trickier than expected, and we want to make sure it’s ready – you only get one crack at rolling this out.

Seer and Bloodhound changes in Season 16:
Seer:
- Seer’s ultimate cooldown and duration is increased “pretty hard”

1869
Bloodhound:

Ultimate will no longer speed up tactical charge, instead, will now find "ethereal white ravens" around the map, that when interacted with, will fly in the direction of the closest enemy, guiding them into battle.
1870
Wraith and Pathfinder buffs in Season 16:
Wraith:
Wraith can now place her portal twice as far as before, and will speed up as she travels that extra distance.
1871
Pathfinder:
Pathfinder’s range and riding speed on zipline increased “significantly”, so can travel further and faster than before.
1872
Horizon:
Accuracy on gravity lift has been reduced, making it more difficult to hit targets when floating. However, ”lift speed nudged up a little bit”.
1873
Some more Legend changes in Season 16, starting with Mirage.
After reviving, Mirage + ally will be cloaked for 3 seconds, but unarmed. If you draw a weapon, cloak breaks immediately.
