Apex Legends Season 20: Best Perks for Every Legend

When it comes to choosing the best perks in Apex Legends for Season 20, it's not always an easy decision. It will depend largely on your playstyle but here we have advice on these options. Picking the right Legends and the perfect weapons is only part of the process. Today's guide on the best Apex Season 20 Perks will help you rank up fast no matter what Legend you're playing.  

We will run through all of the Legends one by one and tell you which perks are the best.

Best Bangalore Perks for Apex Season 20

Ultimate Artillery

• -25% Ultimate cooldown

For her level two perk, you will be best using her reduced Ultimate cooldown. Bangalore's Rolling Thunder is extremely multipurpose, meaning having it available more often will open up far more opportunities for you to make plays. Whether you use it to stop enemies moving forward or to push behind yourself, this perk is a strong addition to the Legend.

Cover Me

• Auto-Ping enemies who trigger Passive

The better level three perk is Cover Me. This will let you know where enemies are shooting you from and you can work around your smokes better. 

Best Fuse Perks for Apex Season 20

Scar Tissue

• Ignore Slow and 50% damage from Ultimate

One of the big things with Fuse is that you don't want to push after dropping the Motherlode. The perk stops you from taking as much damage and the fire won't slow you down. This allows you to follow up on your attack. 

Knuckle Hustler

• Speed Boost on Knuckle Cluster hit

For your level three perk, the best option is the Knuckle Hustler. Again this will help you push after causing some chaos instead of staying where you are. This will give the enemy no chance to recover. 

Best Ash Perks For Apex Season 20

One Minute to Live

• Using Passive tracks enemy position on the map for 60 seconds 

Having One Minute to Live as your level two perk will give you a precise location for your enemy. It will make it a lot easier to hunt them down. 

Greedy Snare

• Arc Snare multiple enemies
• Greatly increase lifetime to 24 seconds

With this perk, your snare lasts three times longer and can catch multiple enemies. Most teams have started to stick together in fights so using this with some practice will make it easier to trap a whole squad and wipe them out. 

Best Mad Maggie Perks for Apex Season 20

Fire Ball

• Wrecking Ball catches fire and explodes in thermite

For your level two perk, you want to take Fire Ball. This will make your Wrecking Ball catch fire and explode. Mad Maggie excels at shutting down areas so the enemy has less space to maneuver. Your opponents will have nowhere to go and you can mop them up easily. 

Big Drill

• Increases depth and width of Tactical by 50%

With this perk, you can catch many players off-guard. Even if they have good cover, your Riot Drill can still hit them.

Best Ballistic Perks for Apex Season 20

Care Package Insight

• Can reveal Care Packages

With Ballistic, your level two perk will be Care Package Insight. It is the better option because you will be checking Death Boxes anyway. 

Extra Bullet

• +1 Tactical charge

The Extra Bullet perk will give you the potential to take two opponents out of the fight. They will have to watch their ammo and seriously think about what they plan on doing.

Best Pathfinder Perks for Apex Season 20

With Pathfinder it's not as simple because your first choice will have to depend on who you have on your team. If you have a Control Legend on your team, they already get access to the Ring Consoles so you should choose Field Research. If you have a Recon Legend in your squad, they can access the Survey Beacons so Ringmaster should be your choice. 

Down and Away

• Reset Tactical on knock

This perk will reset your grapple on knock. The problem before was the Tactical cooldown made his grapple almost useless but now you can get in and out of fights quicker. This makes Pathfinder more aggressive and that's what you want in the current meta.

Best Wraith Perks for Apex Season 20

Sixth Sense

• Passive triggers when squads approach

For Wraith, we will start with Sixth Sense. This will make third parties less likely to attack you unexpectedly because your Passive will alert you if the nearby squad count increases. 

Fast Phase

• Faster Tactical wind-up

This is a no-brainer. Reducing the Tactical wind-up speeds up its use, bringing Wraith almost back to where she was before all her nerfs. 

Best Octane Perks for Apex Season 20

Thick Skin

• -25% Stim damage

This perk is simply reverting a nerf Octane received a few seasons ago. With this perk, he can use his stim more often as it won't cause as much damage.

Mad Hops

• +1 Ultimate charge

With Map hops, you will gain an extra Launch Pad charge. Octane's Ultimate is very useful for pushing forward or getting out of fights so having another Pad available is definitely a bonus.

Best Revenant Perks for Apex Season 2

Murder Machine

• After a squad wipe, callouts nearby squads

This perk will call out the number of squads within 150 meters after a squad wipe. Like Wraith, having this perk will make it harder for third parties to gain the advantage.

Agile Assassin

• -20% Tactical charge time

As with Pathfinder, this perk will reduce Tactical charge time, enabling you to get into a fight and get out faster. This is a great way to be more aggressive in the current meta. 

Best Horizon Perks for Apex Season 20

Big Bang

• See ordnance through walls and Death Boxes

None of the choices here are actually that great. Being able to see nearby ordnance through walls and in Death Boxes will come in handy as Horizon works well with grenades.

Tactical Cooldown

• Reduced Tactical cooldown

For her level three perk, it is best to choose Tactical Cooldown. This is essentially reverting the nerfs she received in previous seasons, allowing her to use her Tactical more often.

Best Valkyrie Perks for Apex Season 20

Afterburners

• Launch higher with Skyward Dive

This is another simple choice. It is reverting another nerf and will give Valkyrie a boost to the height she can hit when using Skyward Dive.

Full Coverage

• Missile Swarm widens to 3/5 

With Full Coverage, you will hit a little easier with your missiles. It's another simple choice considering the other option is an increase to your jetpack fuel and you shouldn't be in a situation where you need to use your full amount anyway. 

Best Bloodhound Perks for Apex Season 20

Tactical Cooldown

• Reduced Tactical cooldown

While the other option has its advantages, after enemy squads get closer to Bloodhound the white ravens stop spawning. So unless you will be getting into a lot of fights in the early game, it is a better choice to have a shorter cooldown on your Tactical.

Taste of Blood

• +25HP per knock while in Beast of the Hunt 

Gaining health on knocks while in your Ultimate is an extremely valuable perk. It will catch your enemies off guard and help you in intense moments.

Best Crypto Perks for Apex Season 20

Ultimate Cooldown

• Reduced Ultimate cooldown

In the current meta, Crypto's whole playstyle focuses around his Ultimate so having less time between each use will only be a good thing. The other option is a reduced cooldown to his Tactical and you shouldn't be putting the drone in harm's way. 

Network Expansion

• +25% Passive and Ultimate range

This perk will increase Crypto's Neurolink and his EMP range. This will work in your favor; placing his Ultimate will be easier because you won't have to worry about getting as close to the enemy as possible.

Best Seer Perks for Apex Season 20

Long View

• +25m Passive and Tactical range

Seer is another that doesn't have the best perks. Given the options, Long View is the better choice. It will increase his Passive and Tactical Range.

Focus Scan

• +1.5s scan duration

Here is another underwhelming option but having the extra second and a half will give you better insight into what your enemies are planning on doing. This will give you the chance to react more easily.

Best Vantage Perks for Apex Season 20

Ultimate Reload

• Increase Ultimate Acceleration charge

If you don't have access to the Ring Consoles, then the Ringmaster perk might be a better choice but if you do having the extra bullets with your Ultimate is a guaranteed bonus.

Sharpshooter

• Refresh Tactical on hits with Ultimate

This perk is extremely useful because you can use your Ultimate and move immediately. Keeping mobile while using your sniper is a perfect combination and is what Vantage excels at.

Best Gibraltar Perks for Apex Season 20

Fresh Start

• Revive allies to 50 HP

As Gibraltar is in the Support role, being able to give your teammates a revive with a 50 HP boost is a great perk. Your job in the team will be to put your squadmates first and this will help you do that. 

Baby Bubble

• Smaller bubble
• Faster cooldown

Even with the reduced size, the Dome of Protection should be big enough for your whole team to play in easily. With the reduced cooldown, you can set one up more often and protect your allies better.

Best Lifeline Perks for Apex Season 20

Rapid Response

• +20% Revive speed

Being able to revive your teammates faster is a great perk. Getting your allies up and back into battle should be your first priority.

The second option is a completely personal choice. Getting more Care Package weapons is a great perk but if you want to have a Self-Revive in your pocket then that is also a good option.

Best Mirage Perks for Apex Season 20

Miracle Worker

• Revives allies with HP Regeneration

This choice will revolve a little more on how you play Mirage. As he is a Support, it seems that reviving allies with a health boost is the better option but if you prefer him to be more of a Secondary Fragger then go with More Me.

Bamboozle Bonus

• Bamboozles refresh Tactical

Considering Mirage's playstyle revolves around his decoys, having an instant refresh on every Bamboozle is a good perk to have. You can keep pumping out clones as long as your enemy keeps killing them.

Best Loba Perks for Apex Season 20

High Value

• Increases Tactical height and range

Increasing your height and range with your Tactical can get you to those hard-to-reach places, giving you access to some better angles to take out your enemies.

The next choice will depend on what playstyle you have Loba in. If you are playing Edge, you will get more use out of the Tactical cooldown reduction but if you are playing Zone, then being able to get an extra item out of the Black Market will be a better option.

Best Newcastle Perks for Apex Season 20

Swift Shield

• Increases Mobile Shield speed to sprint speed

The choice will again depend on your playstyle. Having faster movement with the shield will help you if you are playing Edge. It will make you more aggressive. If you prefer playing Zone then you are better off taking the higher HP for the Tactical.

Miracle Worker

• Revives allies with HP Regeneration

Having the ability to give your allies an extra boost after you revive them is definitely the better choice here.

Best Conduit Perks for Apex Season 20

Bigger Jam

• Bigger Jammer damage radius

Conduit's Jammers were already strong coming into this season and now with this perk you can increase their range. It is an easy choice to make here. 

Both options to the level three perk are good choices. It will solely depend on how you and your team play. If you want to focus more on one squadmate, then taking the increased range may be the better perk. If your team spreads out often then having two charges to your Tactical could come in handy.

Best Caustic Perks for Apex Season 20

Particle Diffuser

• Increased gas area for Ultimate

This perk will increase your Ultimate's area-of-effect by 50%. When it comes to Caustic, the gas is everything to the Legend. Expanding the area of your gas is an easy win.

Breathe It In

• Regenerate HP inside Nox Gas

This next perk is a great bonus to Caustic. Combined with the Particle Diffuser, this Legend will be incredibly difficult to push. Even if you take some damage, you won't have to worry because you can regenerate HP while in the gas. 

Best Wattson Perks for Apex Season 20

For the first choice of perk, it will depend on your playstyle. Both are strong options. The Falling Stars perk is great because you will essentially be making grenades when your enemies waste them on you, but Wattson is a Support so giving the extra health after a revive is a great choice as well. 

Split Circuit

• Double placement (with half shield regeneration)
• Double Ultimate Acceleration speed

Being able to place two generators down will make pushing your location so much harder. This is why this option is the stronger of the two. Being able to deny any enemy grenade will put you and your team in a powerful position to defend and then retaliate.

Best Rampart Perks for Apex Season 20

There is no bad choice with Rampart this season. All of her perks are strong. It will depend completely on how you play the Legend.

If you revolve your playstyle around her Tactical then Bandolier and Amped Reloads will be the better option. If you prefer to use Sheila more then Ultimate Cooldown and Ramped Up are better for you.

Best Catalyst Perks for Apex Season 20

Sister Spikes

• +1 max active Spikes

With this perk, you can increase the number of spikes you have active. This will make it easier to block off doors, stop the enemy from pushing, and reduce the space your opponents have to work with. 

Resilient Veil

• Increases Dark Veil lifetime

Out of the two options, having the extra five-second duration on your Ultimate is the better choice. It will depend on what you intend to use it for but for most scenarios, having the Veil up for longer will be more useful. 

There you have it - every legend's perks and why you should choose them. Mostly it will depend on your playstyle but in the current Season 20 meta, these are the better choices. Play around a little to make sure they are the best fit for you.
