Apex Legends received a small patch on the evening of June 11. This fixes a bug that annoyed some players so much that they left the game for a while.
What was the bug? Since the update 1.2 on June 4, a annoying bug has been circulating in Apex Legends. This bug made it nearly impossible for players to hit targets while sliding.
Every weapon severely misfired while sliding, making it impossible to aim correctly. This even led well-known players like Shroud to ignore the game until the bug was fixed.
However, this and other bugs have now been fixed.
Update from June 11 – Patch Notes for Apex Legends
What was patched? The latest update contains particularly many bug fixes. Respawn has apparently taken note of many of the complaints in recent days and has worked on them. The following bugs have been fixed:
- Shots while sliding should be accurate again
- Healing items now work with custom key bindings
- There is once again compensation if players leave the group during an Apex Elite match
- Caustic’s gas traps can no longer deal damage through walls
- Caustic can no longer place multiple gas traps quickly in succession without cooldown
- Players on PS4 should now see the correct graphics for rewards
- Jumping from towers should work correctly again
Additionally, several smaller display, UI, and sound issues have been fixed. Some configuration arguments have also been reactivated. You can find the complete patch notes in English on reddit.
What’s coming next: The patch is merely a small improvement for the last patch 1.2. It addresses some remaining issues from Season 1 until Season 2 of Apex Legends starts on July 2, 2019.
The second season will bring some buffs, a new weapon, and the new legend Wattson. At the moment, it also seems that Apex Legends will change with a special event:
