A surprise update just went live for Apex Legends, and Respawn has officially dropped a list of key bug fixes that should smooth out some of the most annoying issues Players have been dealing with in recent weeks.
From ranked ladder crashes to broken cosmetics and ability bugs, this patch covers a lot. If you’ve been frustrated by recent glitches, this update might be the fix you’ve been waiting for.
Here’s everything that’s been addressed.
🔧 Key Fixes in Today’s Update
✅ Reactive G7 Scout Skins
Players have been reporting issues with reactive G7 Scout skins not functioning correctly—either failing to animate or not tracking kills. This has now been patched, so your cosmetics should work as intended again.
✅ Ranked Ladder Crashes & UI Fixes
With the launch of the Ranked Ladder system, some players were experiencing random crashes and broken UI elements. This update aims to stabilize the experience for everyone grinding the leaderboard.
✅ Class Perk Descriptions
Some legend class perks had incorrector missing descriptions in the menus. These have now been corrected to ensure clarity for players using new perks or experimenting with different classes.
✅ VFX Flickering (Switch)
If you’re on Nintendo Switch, you may have seen flickering visuals in the lobby or Thunderdome map. These visual bugs have been cleaned up, providing a smoother experience on the platform.
✅ Sparrow’s Ultimate Hitbox
A critical fix was applied to Sparrow’s Ultimate ability, which had a broken or inaccurate hitbox. This should now register hits properly and function as designed.
✅ Bloodhound Tactical Indicator
Bloodhound’s Tactical ability indicator was sometimes missing or delayed, making it harder for players to track their scan usage. This has now been fixed.
✅ Arenas Crash Fix
Even though Arenas mode is no longer at the forefront of Apex, some players were still experiencing crashes when loading into Arenas matches. This patch addresses those issues.
