Ever since the Ring Fury LTM was launched alongside the Chaos Theory Collection event, players have been constantly complaining about a certain audio bug in Apex Legends.

The new item called “Heat Shield,” which allows players to take no damage from the ring, started to exude weird noises. Due to the repetitive nature of this audio glitch, players slowly began to get annoyed.

Another big issue that has been pretty persistent in Apex Legends ever since Loba was released is her tactical ability. Sometimes, Loba’s Tactical doesn’t work correctly. Even after many patches that were supposed to fix this issue, her tactical ability is still inconsistent. The issue became more widespread following the Chaos Theory collection event update.

The New Patch is Live

In this new patch, Respawn addressed the ring audio glitch alongside some fixes for Loba’s tactical ability. The recently released Switch version also received some small bug fixes. Additionally, Respawn decided to remove the Heat Shields from the crafting pool.

Meaning players will no longer be able to craft heat shields using crafting materials. Since many exploiters used the heat shields to glitch their way up the ranked ladder, Respawn took it upon themselves to limit the use of this tool.

And finally, Respawn also fixed an issue where some event-related skins were missing textures. This patch aims to fix some of the pain points of the current event. Hopefully, this new fix won’t introduce any new glitches in the process.
