With Apex Legends’ Chaos Theory title update, Respawn Entertainment seems to have borked something as well, as there’s an Apex Legends server-crashing exploit making the rounds. Unfortunately, there’s no real fix today, so Respawn is rolling out a bandaid in the meantime.
Over on Twitter, Respawn announced that crafting will temporarily be turned off to mitigate the issues the exploit has caused.
To address a server-crashing @playapex exploit, we're temporarily turning off crafting (including replicators, materials, replicator drops, etc.) across all playlists, starting now.
We will turn crafting back on after we're able to finish testing our planned fix. Stay tuned! https://t.co/tMIA9BFX3N

From the sound of it, Apex Legends players can expect a hotfix to be rolled out soon-ish, Once we know more about that, we’ll let our readers know.
