Apex Legends Update Patch Notes
• Havoc AR & Devotion: Weapon mastery challenges no longer require Turbocharger hop-up to complete
(ever since the removal of Turbocharger hop-up with Space Hunt Event in Season 22, players were unable to complete the Weapon Trials challenges for Havoc and Devotion which required killing 5 enemies with Turbocharger equipped in the same match)
• Loot Bins: Bin reset on round 2 now correctly ejects the un-used loot out of the loot bin
(this was a new feature added with Season 22: From the Rift, however, it was a bit broken since it did not eject all the loot properly on reset which is now fixed)
• Lifeline D.O.C Drone: Fixing some issues with Lifeline Tactical, including not being able to assign it to teammates
(Lifeline received a huge rework to her kit with the Season 23 update her tactical can now be assigned to follow allies and can quickly be sent towards them if they are within a certain distance which makes her a necessary legend if you want to play aggressively, but with this new ability there were also some bugs such as not being able to assign to another teammate after you already assigned to one of them, which can be annoying during combat but Respawn had quickly squashed this issue)
• Firing Range: Hard Combat Dummies have been re-enabled in the firing range after resolving a related crash
(Hard Combat Dummies is a new difficulty that was added for the firing range with Apex Legends Update for Season 23)
• SFX: Players now hear correct wind-rushing noises when dropping in as Lifeline or Valkyrie
• Game: Title screen now scales correctly on Ultrawide monitors
• Rift Relics: Fixed related to the Void Reflex Boost kit were added and some crashes
(Boost Kits or Rift Relics are new in-game loot items available in Trios & Duos that grant you special abilities or OG weapons for example, the OG version of Wingman with Digi sights, an Alternator with level 4 barrel stabilizer, and much more. these rifts spawn during round 1 of the game and they are very easy to find
• Shield Visual clutter:
(While as the bug fix for Shield Visual Clutter that occurs while taking damage or recharging shields didn’t make a cut in the update, Respawn confirmed that a fix for this will be released today (November 15) but it will only be for PC players and console fix will be released on a later date, while as many console players might not have noticed, because console players are usually playing on 60hz, this specific bug gets worse the more hz/fps you are playing the game on for example the screen will be less cluttered for a 60fps player while for someone playing on 240fps, it will be worse
A fix for shield visual clutter will be rolled out for PC players tomorrow, no ETA for console ‼ pic.twitter.com/Tv0vTnoO3V
