The Apex Legends update 1.70 May 27 patch is now live! This makes it the second patch for the game within the week, as Respawn Entertainment released a patch a few days ago that brought player-facing changes. This is a smaller patch though it still includes gameplay-related changes.
Apex Legends Update 1.70 Patch Notes:
Switch fixes:
- Fixed an issue with Switch users being kicked from the game due to system clock manipulation. Sorry Animal Crossing time travelers! Gp get your bells.
- Added a missing confirmation message after purchasing the Bloodhound x Lifeline edition
Valkyrie adjustment:
- Hovering while using Valk’s tactical now consumes the same amount of fuel compared to hovering while not using her tactical. This is a balance change meant to address Valkyrie players staying out of the fight for extended periods of time in late-game circles.
Arenas:
- Fixed the “Win X rounds in Arenas” challenges not tracking wins correctly.
Other:
- Fixed a flickering issue caused by Legends with light effects in the lobby.
- Miscellaneous stability fixes.
In other Apex Legends news, EA has mentioned that the game has grown in every quantifiable metric the publisher has.
