Apex Legends Season 25 Prodigy is almost here! The season is releasing on May 6, 2025. It’s bringing some big weapon changes that have the community talking. With every new season, Respawn Entertainment tweaks the arsenal to keep the game fresh. This time is no different. While we’re still waiting on the full scoop, leaks and early reports are giving us plenty to chew on. Here’s what we know so far about the weapon updates coming to Apex Legends.

Bocek Bow’s Explosive New Trick

The Bocek Bow is getting a serious upgrade that might make it a game-changer. According to a preview from Dexerto, it’ll now shoot explosive arrows when you pair it with Frag Grenades. These arrows won’t just hit their target—they’ll deal splash damage on near misses too. That’s huge for breaking up enemy squads or flushing out campers. It’s a creative twist that could make the Bocek a top pick. You’ll need to stock up on grenades to keep the fireworks going.

More Weapon Tweaks on the Horizon

Respawn loves to mix things up in Apex Legends, and Season 25 won’t just stop at the Bocek Bow. Past seasons have seen stuff like shotgun nerfs or buffs to guns like the Prowler, and we’re expecting more of that here. A post on X by Osvaldatore suggests other weapons are in line for changes, though nothing’s set in stone yet. For a deeper dive into how Respawn balances the meta, check out Sportskeeda’s take on what might shift. The goal? Keep the Apex Legends weapon pool diverse so every match feels different.

When We’ll Know More

The full patch notes aren’t out yet, but Esports.gg predicts they’ll land on May 5, 2025—just a day before the season kicks off. That’s when we’ll get the complete rundown on weapon adjustments, plus other goodies like the Arenas mode comeback. Until then, you can brush up on the current meta with The Gaming Merchant on YouTube to get a head start.

Why It’s a Big Deal

Weapon changes aren’t just numbers—they reshape how you play Apex Legends. If the Bocek Bow becomes a meta monster, you might see more long-range duels. Other tweaks could bring forgotten guns back into the spotlight, giving you new ways to squad up and win. For the latest on how these updates might shake out, keep an eye on Total Apex Gaming’s news section. Oh, and EA’s official Apex blog might drop some last-minute hints too.

Season 25 is shaping up to be a wild ride. With the patch notes dropping soon, it’s almost time to see how these weapon changes will test your skills. Get ready to adapt and drop in!
