gamespot.com:

Apex Legends Season 16: Revelry launched yesterday, and with all of the game's new features--including TDM, a new legend class system, and a firing range makeover--it can be easy to miss the little things.

Unfortunately, things didn't last long. The last time we heard from The Sisters, they were attacking Rampart's shop, setting it ablaze and completely destroying it. But
