Apex Legends Update 1.78 Released for Seer Nerfs & More – August 23

Respawn Entertainment has released the Apex Legends update 1.78 patch this August 23, and this brings the much-needed Seer nerfs! Outside of that, there are other changes included as well, which are all listed in the official patch notes.

Apex Legends Update 1.78 Patch Notes:

Passive

• Increased wait time between sensor spikes for full hp targets (1.25s to 1.75s)
• Removed center circle ellipses
• Reduced range beyond 75m (blue spikes)
• Reduced field of view

Tactical

• Increased detonation delay from 1.4s to 1.6s
• Players hit are no longer damaged or flashed. Screen shake from being hit is also reduced
• Move slow added while holding tactical
• Lowered volume on audio
• Fixed tactical fx being visible in firing range when it’s not supposed to be

Ultimate

• Increase cooldown from 90s to 120s
• Lowered volume on audio

Miscellaneous

• Fixed several errors related with seer
• Adjusted volume of voice lines that play when seer is chosen

Other fixes

• Fixed a problem caused by Climatizer FX (“No existing effect for handle” error)
• Fixed an issue with challenges (“Array index -1 is out of range”)
• Fixed most instances of Legends “holding a grenade” when they have none in their inventory (Watson still suffers from this in some rare cases)
• Fixed an error with using multiple grenades on explosive holds (a following update later today will cause explosive holds to spawn closed again)
• Switch: Fixed Holospray display

That’s about it. Once we know of the next patch, we’ll let our readers know.
