Patch Notes

Heads up, legends: We've temporarily disabled one of the sound effects associated with the Bird of Prey R-99 found in Rampart Care Packages in Wildcard. You will no longer hear the beeping noise associated with its missiles while we work on adjusting it to be less intrusive.

We have pushed a couple quick fixes we wanted to communicate:

We have pushed a quick fix for a couple issues:

We've sent out a fix for the "Bird of Prey" R-99 Skin reloading faster than intended. Thanks for your patience as we worked out that bug!

We just pushed an update to Apex Legends to fix an issue where quips weren't playing correctly if you selected one before another was finished playing. Thanks for your patience, legends.

Thanks for your patience as we worked to get Olympus back up and running in Ranked! It will return tomorrow, 11/8/2025 at 10am PT to Ranked map rotations. We are still investigating a fix for the map for Control.

We have a few quick fixes that just went live.

Following the prior Olympus issue with Control, we are also aware of Olympus performance issues affecting Ranked and have removed it from map rotations for now. We’re investigating and will share more info when we have a fix.

We are temporarily removing the Olympus map from the Control game mode as a bug is preventing players from capturing point A. We have a fix in the works and will have it out as soon as we're confident it has resolved the issue. Thank you for your patience.

We're aware that some players can't connect to Apex Legends right now. We're looking into it and will let you know as soon as it's resolved.

We’re starting the hype train for Season 27: Amped, right now, and this is your invitation to get on board! There’s plenty to be excited about this season: major changes to Olympus, Valkyrie retakes the skies, while Rampart and Horizon are getting tune ups, the meta is shifting to close range chaos with a new ‘Double Tap Alternator’ Hop-Up and Gold Laser Sight for pistols and SMGs, and we’re…

We’ve seen your concerns regarding drop ship height for pre-determined drop zones in Ranked. We initially raised the height to make the drop less disorienting, give players a moment to take in their surroundings, and add flexibility in choosing where to land.

Check out our dedicated blog here for all the cards you’ll want to have in your hand before jumping in.

ANTI-CHEAT Before we jump into the seasonal updates, here’s a quick progress check-in on anti-cheat. We’ve been focusing on many iterative improvements across an array of efforts including internal cheat detection, automated detections, and third party solutions. Our ongoing work against teaming has continued to have a positive impact on bad behaviour, primarily in Ranked.

We just pushed an update to make some adjustments to weapons and Legends, including the following balance changes:

BREAKOUT REWARDS Every 2 weeks, a new Legend becomes free-to-play for the rest of the season. Each Legend will have a set of challenges to permanently unlock that Legend. Complete all Breakout Rewards Challenges before the season ends to unlock more rewards like the Reactive “Top Tier” Flatline and the Legendary “Runaway Renegade” Wraith.

Rowenna grew up amidst a war, but in a move that turned the tide, one Monarch Titan sacrificed itself to end the fighting. In the years after, her home planet of Nexus established ties across the Outlands, introducing Rowenna to the Apex Games. The Games represented everything she aspired to–heroism, hard work, sacrifice—and she became a dedicated fan.

For almost 300 years, Revenant was under the Syndicate’s thumb with the help of Hammond, and all he wanted was to escape. Now, suddenly, he starts to glitch—someone has launched a new protocol. He finds that he’s able to see enemies low on health, unleash a powerful leap forward, and forge a shroud of shadows around him that blocks incoming damage. But he also knows how to hold a grudge.
