Apex Legends 1.42 patch notes

The new Apex Legends patch update does not bring a lot of changes to the game as previous updates. There are only two main changes that have been officially acknowledged by Respawn Entertainment.

While these are some of the important changes to the game, there are still a number of other issues that have been frustrating users. The game’s Trello page also states that some of the issues are still unresolved. Fortunately for fans, Respawn Entertainment has been investigating some of the major issues, however, it is not known how long it may take for these fixes to be implemented. Here are all the issues that developers are working on:

• Loba's Tactical wouldn't land properly on World's Edge and always refund the ability.
• A buzzing sound during gameplay
• Loading screens and music packs appear to not get equipped viewing loadout menu
• Players being able to use their gun while Phasing
• Coming out of Wraith portal would sometimes push the character under geo
• If Death Protection activates while on a zipline or wall hanging, the player remains where they are
