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.
