Why won't anyone fight me in Apex Legends' cool new boxing ring

This week, Apex Legends started its Fight Night event, plonking a great big boxing ring onto the Olympus map. Challenging players to cheeky boxing matches has always been a fun part of Apex, so I was pretty excited to jump into an official ring right in the middle of Respawn’s battle royale. Unfortunately, a mere two days after the boxing ring appeared, no one seems to bother dropping there anymore.

I’m very upset. Why? Why will none of you meet me in the ring?

Apex Legends bug makes gravity-defying loot

Apex Legends streamer Jan 'Euriece' Del Rosario found some hilarious glitches in his latest Apex Legends ranked match. He was in the middle of a stream when the problems began.

The first was the fact that he could pop Shield Cells while his shields were full. While this is obviously a waste of resources, usually the game stops you from being able to do so. However, this was the least of his problems. Soon, Eriece's teammate Joshua 'Dazoh' Davis, who plays for EU team UNDERRATED, found that dropping loot on the walls of Countdown caused it to bounce up in the air.

The anti-gravity bouncing only applied to loot dropped from players' inventories - so players and ground loot seemed unaffected. But, once something started bouncing, it just wouldn't stop. This resulted in a hilarious sight as Euriece, Dash, and fellow UNDERRATED teammate Elwin 'KSWINNIE' Echeveria dropped their entire inventories on the ground.

Apex Legends' planned Caustic buff reversed

Respawn has u-turned on the recent Caustic buff that was due to be introduced in Apex Legends' Fight Night update. The patch notes originally stated that Caustic's ultimate ability, the canister of Nox gas, would have its cooldown reduced from 25 seconds to 20, meaning players could theoretically use it three times a minute.

However, it appears that Respawn decided to reverse the decision, as the buff is not live and has been removed from the patch notes. However, the text explaining their decision to buff Caustic remains in the notes, which explains that, "the Caustic buff is an extra bit of compensation for the loss of vision blur from gas in Season 7.

"Note that looking at our data, the Season 7 change was a solid buff for Caustic, but he's not quite where we want him to be." However, something must have changed, as the buff has been reversed and Caustic's ultimate cooldown remains at 25 seconds.

Apex Legends challenges you to a spot of boxing in its new event

Meet me in the ring. Not the normal scary Apex Legends death ring though, the boxing ring! Respawn Entertainment are kicking off a new collection event for the battle royale this evening: Fight Night. It’s a new town takeover themed around the lovable murderbot Pathfinder, in which players will be stripped of their guns and face-off in fisticuffs. A new game mode is joining the fray too, as are lots of new cosmetics and a small army of robots you might recognise from the Titanfall games.
