7/24/25 - Apex Legends Update

[p]We're aware that there are challenges in the Ash and Revenant Spotlight Passes in Apex that cannot be completed due to their recent Legend Class changes. [/p][p]We'll update these challenges at the start of the next season to address this, but in the meantime, we've automatically completed them for all players with an active Spotlight Pass. [/p][p]Thank you for your patience while we get this sorted out![/p]

Bring the Heat in the Haute Shot Event

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]With rookies rising and fireworks exploding, all eyes are on you, Legends! This next event is sleek, stylish, and sponsored by fashion powerhouse Belva. Prove yourself worthy of the spotlight in the updated Arenas: Duels LTM—now with Legend abilities. Relax and try new beach fits with Legendary Skins for Loba (we see you), Sparrow, and more up for grabs in Haute Shot Packs†. Make a statement with fashionable firepower, featuring new Legendary Weapon Skins, like the R-301 and Wingman, to complete your beach-ready loadout. End the season with a bang: event packs† may drop the new Sky Piercer Universal Melee, usable by all Legends. Go ahead, be extra, upgrade the Sky Piercer with one of its variants to start shooting fireworks![/p][p][/p][p]ARENAS: DUELS[/p][p]Let’s up the ante now that you’ve had a chance to try Arenas: Duels in its purest form. Bring on the Legend abilities! This addition adds a little more spice to switch up your match-ups and challenge your more tactical side. Will you go for the abilities you know best or let your opponent’s playstyle influence you?[/p][p]What stays the same? Each Legend, loadout, and spawn location are randomized, with both you and your opponent being mirrored.[/p][p]
EVENT ITEMS[/p][p]Haute limited-time cosmetics are up for grabs as you open Haute Shot Packs† during the event, with each pack offering one event item (no duplicates!) and two standard items. Each event item received counts towards bonus rewards that are automatically unlocked at milestones along the way including up to 20 Exotic Shards.[/p][p]Each event pack† also has the chance to drop the new Sky Piercer universal melee item. Similar to other universal melee items, you can customize the Sky Piercer with upgrades in the Exotic Shop to add a little flare. Charge up this beauty as you progress through a match to shoot fireworks into the sky—your first set of fireworks each match is on us. [/p][p]
REWARD SHOP[/p][p]Earn Status by completing daily event challenges, then check out the Haute Shot Reward Shop to redeem for rewards like Haute Shot Packs† and see your progress with all four event badges. Offerings will rotate halfway through the event.[/p][p][/p][h2]PATCH NOTES: PREVIOUS UPDATES & FIXES[/h2][h3]GAME [/h3][h3]LEGENDS[/h3][p]Caustic[/p]
  • [p]Nox Gas Trap duration extended to 22s (was 11s)[/p]
  • [p]Enemy Nox Gas Trap is highlighted[/p]
[p]Mirage[/p]
  • [p]Power Sword VFX no longer visible while cloaked[/p]
[p]Wattson[/p][h2]COMMUNITY DRIVEN BUGS[/h2][p]Here’s a couple of the open bugs that we’ve seen some community chatter around. Our team is actively working on these bugs and more, and we’ll update our progress on our public Trello board.[/p]
  • [p]Crash after opening Apex Packs: fix in progress, typically caused by switching tabs immediately after opening. In the interim, players can minimize impact by avoiding rapidly switching tabs after opening. [/p]
  • [p]Newcastle has no shield while reviving after drop: investigating, Knockdown Shield can be dropped and picked-up to kickstart charging in the interim[/p]
  • [p]Retro Packs Progress Bar: fix in progress, visual error only. All opened Retro Packs will count towards progress and reward(s) will still be awarded.[/p]

Apex Legends: 7/7/25 Update

[p]Hi legends! A fix in Apex for the issue with flying trees/foliage is now live on all platforms. We have also rotated Broken Moon and Encore back into the game. Make sure to download the new update, as staying on the old one means the trees will keep flying.[/p]

Apex Legends: 2025/07/02 Update

[p]We pushed an update this morning to address the following:[/p]
  • [p]Resolved a bug causing Wattson's Energized Healer to not heal as much as it should[/p]
  • [p]Fixed the Power Sword effects being visible when Mirage was cloaked[/p]
  • [p]Updated Arenas: Duels so that only Kills = Wins and timed out Duels now result in draws. This change is to address players hiding during the match.[/p]
  • [p]Resolved an issue causing Mad Maggie's intro animation to crash on PS4[/p]
  • [p]Updated the description of Daily Challenges to be more accurate[/p]
  • [p]Fixed an issue causing Apex Pack prompts to send players to the wrong screen[/p]

[p]We're also aware that the textures on trees and other foliage look a little different after today's update. We're working on a fix for this and will let you know via social channels as soon as it's ready to roll out.[/p]
