As per the latest leaks from popular data miner and leaker, @HYPERMYSTx, Apex Legends will reportedly feature the addition of new perks using an 'Augment' System.

Wattson also has three new upgrades: Gain all support perks, outgoing damage is converted to Ult charge and knocks grant 30% ult charge, and gain double small med healing (presumably like gold armor).
