Apex Legends features a rapidly growing roster, adding a new Legend each season. Each Legend is assigned a class, but with such a large roster, the class system may soon not encompass the many unique aspects and abilities of all Legends. According to a leak, Respawn might be looking to change the class system in upcoming seasons of Apex Legends.
Apex Legends member Thordan Smash shared the potential changes to the class system on Twitter. Thordan has previously shared information about potential class changes, but the new leak explains the potential changes in more detail. Respawn has not confirmed the leak and any rework of the class system that may occur may be subject to change.

Some of the changes include new perks for existing classes and new or revamped classes. Classes include Assault, Control, Support, Recon, and Skirmisher. The notes also indicate that the Assault class will have a buff that will allow them to loot red containers and have additional inventory for ammo. While no other class perks are mentioned, this could mean that other classes may get new or changed perks.
Along with class changes, some Legends are expected to change classes. Gibraltar and Newcastle could stay in the support class, while Caustic, Rampart, Wattson and Catalyst will move to the new defense class. The Skirmisher class will include Mirage, Wraith, and others that fit the “hit and run” style of play.
The leak also indicates that the Pathfinder and Mirage could potentially be modified for class changes. It seems that changing the class system would have a big effect on the game and could improve it by making the classes more in tune with all the available legends.
