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

Apex Legends Down

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.
