The Legends Update: New Contacts, New Weapons, and Progression

March 27, 2026 | PC

The streets of San Paro are evolving. The Legends update has officially arrived, bringing a massive expansion to ABP Reloaded. With an increased rank cap, the introduction of long-awaited contacts, new weapons, a suite of tactical gear, and even a minor map update. This update marks a significant milestone for the APB Reloaded community.

New Blood in Financial: Zombie & LaRocha

Progression has been blown wide open with the arrival of two iconic contacts: Zombie and LaRocha. These power players are now active in the Financial District, offering Enforcers and Criminals alike the chance to push their careers further than ever before.

Rank Cap Increase: The maximum level has been raised to Rank 290, providing veterans with new goals and rewards.
Contact Rewards: Working with Zombie and LaRocha grants access to a formidable localized arsenal, including:
- FAR NFCP 2 & SWARM NFCP 2
- Joker M9 & OCA ‘Silverado’
- SBSR Coroner ‘Terminus’ / ‘Lenda’
- ISSR-A ‘Adeen’ (Available as a Rare Daily reward)

Tactical Evolution: Weapons & Mods

The combat meta is shifting with the introduction of high-tier weaponry and a brand-new grenade.
The Joker C9S ‘Prototype’: A new Legendary variant enters the fray. The Joker C9S ‘Prototype’ offers a unique edge for players looking to dominate close-quarters engagements with a rare, high-performance loadout.

EMP Grenade: Unlocking at Grenadier Rank 3, the EMP Grenade is a game-changer. Designed to disable vehicles and electronic systems, this item provides a necessary counter to vehicle-heavy strategies and tech-reliant opponents.

Customization and Performance: New Modifications

Fine-tune your performance with a fresh batch of modifications for both weapons and vehicles. Whether you prioritize stability or mobility, these additions offer deeper specialization:

Steady Sight & Improved Ironsights for precision handling.
Lightweight Frame & Steering Angle Tuning for superior vehicle control.
Fortified Electronics to harden your assets against disruption.

Expanding Your Empire: Inventory & Presets

San Paro is about style as much as it is about skill. This update introduces the Han Coywolves ‘Mischief’ and ‘Authority’ presets to refresh your look. To accommodate the growing list of gear, we have officially increased inventory limits across the board. Players can now store more weapons, clothing, vehicles, songs, and themes than ever before.
Note: New clothing items will continue to roll out via ARMAS in the weeks following the Legends launch.

Quality of Life & Gameplay Balance

To ensure a smoother competitive experience, several key adjustments have been implemented:

Map Balancing: The building complex near the Financial skatepark has been adjusted to improve the flow for attacking teams.
Joker Store Update: The Golden OPGL is now available for purchase with Joker Tickets.
Weapon Tuning: All SBSR weapons have been transitioned to semi-automatic fire.
Inventory Management: Players now have the ability to delete and repurchase unlocked grenades, simplifying loadout organization.
