Apex Legends 1.15 Patch Notes
Fixed issue where Lifeline’s D. O. C. ’s Shock Finisher preview video not playing when viewed from the menu. Fixed issue with text overflow on the stats page. Fixed some cases of crashes related to game logic, client, and script errors. Fixed cases of players being set in non-optimal data centers. Season 1 stats have been temporarily removed as we work on some issues with it. Fixed bug where players would unlock the level 94 Battle Pass reward before they should [Octane’s loading screen]. Fixed exploit where the HAVOC could fire full auto without charging up. Fixed some cases of the Care Package clipping through map geometry.
Given the small size and stealth release of this latest update for Apex Legends, it’s no surprise patch 1.15 doesn’t feature much in the way of content. Judging by the release notes, the biggest reason for the deployment of this tiny download is the discovery of a Havoc exploit that would essentially allow the gun to fire forever. The flaw had only been in the wild for a few days, but it was already beginning to disrupt the multiplayer meta for diehard fans. Especially for a game like Apex that relies so heavily on team composition, any bug that throws off that balance should be rectified quickly.
As for what’s not in the update, annoying bugs with repeat heal animations have apparently not been addressed. That being said, it’s possible there are some tweaks not officially listed in the notes. Apex Legends Season 2 enjoyed a fairly flawless launch earlier this month. Update 1.15 exists to fix a few of its lingering issues.
Apex Legends is available now on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
