Kings Canyon will now be the only map in rotation through Feb 9 instead of the previously stated 2-week window. Peep some additional fixes and or view the full Season 8 patch below.
- Fixed an error stopping players in Belgium from purchasing the Battle Pass (Note: the button will still say “Unavailable”, but clicking it will let you purchase the Battle Pass. A client patch later will fix the button still saying “Unavailable”)
- Fixed an edge case where the gas from Caustic’s ultimate would persist even after his squad was eliminated
- Fixed an exploit letting players block damage from grenades by dropping items on top of them,
- Fixed an issue that allowed Fuse’s tactical ability to do damage through shieleds
- Reduced likelihood of late-game circles ending on Mirage Voyage and The Pitt in King’s Canyon.
Again, this is a server-side update, so players won’t need to download anything. Nintendo Switch owners, don’t forget, Apex is coming to Switch on March 9!
