Apex Legends Update 1.65 April 12 Deployed Today (Update)

Apex Legends Year in Review 2021

Following last week’s Apex Legends patch that was purely for fixes, Respawn Entertainment has released the Apex Legends update 1.65 April 12 patch today. Head on below for more info.

Apex Legends Update 1.65 April 12 Patch Notes:

Update #2 (4/13/21): It seems this patch was indeed for the War Games event preparation! Respawn has announced that the War Games event is now live! If there are any changes included, we’ll update the post to reflect it.

Update: Respawn has still not shared any news on official patch notes, but did state that a new Mirror’s Edge weapon charm has been added.

Once we get more news on what’s new in this patch, we’ll update the post.

For now, Respawn Entertainment has not released the official patch notes for today’s title update. That said, tomorrow is the day that we’ll be getting the War Games event, so this could be the data for that. We’ve included the stuff incoming for tomorrow’s event.

  • Second Chance (Tuesday, 4/13 – Thursday, 4/15): Kicking off the event, this modifier grants each Legend one free respawn per match; once a Legend is killed, a Respawn Token is consumed to rise again from the player’s current location retaining all their weapons and gear. After a short duration, the player respawns high in the air to skydive back into the action.

  • Ultra Zones (Thursday, 4/15 – Monday, 4/19): Get ready for multiple Hot Zones within a single map, and for more epic loot and gold items. Each Hot Zone is enveloped in a Flash Point – the enormous, glowing bubbles that replenish HP and shields when you stand in them. In this mode, consumable items are still available as normal throughout the loot pool.

  • Auto Banners (Monday, 4/19 – Wednesday, 4/21): Adding a rather small but spicy change to squadmate respawning, this modifier lets players automatically retrieve their Squadmates Banner Cards! Players don’t need to loot their death box to retrieve their Banner Cards — they can just head straight to a respawn beacon. The loot pool has been altered to contain more Mobile Respawn Beacons too.

  • Killing Time (Wednesday, 4/21 – Friday, 4/23): This event speeds up the match as Legends fall; during a round, whenever a Legend dies, the round time gets reduced. If any given round is a massacre, the ring will close quickly so players have to keep an eye on the round timer to survive this modifier.

  • Armor Regen (Friday, 4/23 – Tuesday, 4/27): Closing out the War Games, the Armor Regen will regenerate over time at a rate of 12 points per second in this final mode. Whenever players take damage, their armor will begin regenerating after an 8-second delay; this delay is doubled to 16 seconds (versus 8 seconds) if a player’s armor gets cracked.

There are also gameplay-related changes incoming as well.

We’ll update the post once we find out more about the patch from the community or via Respawn themselves.
