A major Apex Legends Update just went live, and while it fixed several gameplay bugs, it also accidentally unleashed pure chaos on Broken Moon. Trees are broken. And we don’t just mean visually – they’re actively ruining games.
If you were planning to drop into Broken Moon anytime soon, consider this your warning: it’s a glitchy jungle out there.
What Was Supposed to Be Fixed
Yesterday, Respawn pushed an 80GB update. Here’s what was meant to be addressed:
- Wattson’s Energized Healer was fixed to restore the correct amount of health.
- Mirage’s Power Sword no longer shows while cloaked.
- Arena’s Duel System was updated so only kills count as wins – no more timeouts deciding matches.
- Fixed Mad Maggie’s intro crash bug on PlayStation.
- Adjusted daily challenge descriptions for clarity.
- Fixed Apex Pack prompts that sent players to the wrong screen.
- Respawn beacon sliding interaction bug was patched.
On paper, this looked like a great patch. But Apex Players quickly realized something strange had happened…
The Trees on Broken Moon Are CompletelyGlitched
Immediately after the update, players noticed every single tree on Broken Moon had been transformed into a surreal, low-resolution nightmare. Think alien spaghetti noodles instead of forestry.
Respawn quickly acknowledged the issue saying:
“We’re aware that the textures on trees and other foliage look a little different after today’s update.”
No kidding.
But it gets worse. These trees aren’t just ugly – they’re dangerous.
Sentient Tree Glitches
Players are reporting all sorts of weird behavior:
- Trees are shifting in front of your aim mid-fight. Yes, that’s a thing now.
- They provide fake cover. What looks like a solid tree on your screen might be invisible to your enemy.
- They’re appearing in unintended areas – and some are outright invisible but still block bullets.
- Trees on other maps are affected too, including the Encore Arena map where players are running into invisible tree hitboxes.
It’s chaos, and it’s hilarious… until it gets you killed.
Respawn Is Working on a Fix
Thankfully, Respawn’s new update system allows them to push quick hotfixes. There’s a good chance a patch could arrive very soon to clean up this arboreal apocalypse.
Until then?
Do not trust the trees. They’re lying to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What caused the tree bug on Broken Moon?

Is this bug limited to Broken Moon?
No, while it primarily affects Broken Moon, players have reported similar tree issues on Arena maps like Encore.
Can players still hide behind trees?

Yes, Respawn has acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix. No timeline has been confirmed, but a hotfix could be coming soon.
Should I avoid Broken Moon for now?
Yes. If you’re playing ranked or anything serious, avoid Broken Moon until this bug is patched. The trees are currently cursed and unpredictable.
