We're aware and looking at it.

They're probably keeping a super close eye on the subreddit atm, since they just had a major update and updates usually come with some bugs that need to be hotfixed

Yeah patch day is a lot of watching streams, looking at Twitter and Reddit

Can you just disable the skin for now? Nobody wants you to rush for a solution, but this is very imbalanced.

I'm not working on this myself but I'm sure the people who are are considering that possibility.

I dont mean to sound rude, but wouldnt this be eliminated if we had a PTR? I think most of us are glad to help you out on test servers.

So as a rule I try only to talk about the stuff that I know about either because I'm directly working on it or because it's part of what I do (game design, specifically character focused). Stuff that's outside that bubble I try very hard to avoid talking about because I'm likely to get it wrong and cause more trouble for my colleagues who are working on it. I'm sure there's a lot more to having a PTR than just saying "yeah we should do it", but I'm not the person who could have that conversation with you, so I'm just going to say I don't know, sorry.

We published a fix for this.

We've talked about this, but are concerned with the number of leaks that would come from it. We generally do pretty well on finding these issues but this slipped through the cracks. Anyhow, we fixed it now.

There were multiple issues with the hitbox on that skin, were they all fixed?

They should be, yes

Do I have to update the game or? I’ve been testing it over and over but it’s still bugged for me

May take 20-40 mins to roll out across all servers in the world.

Idk if it just hasn’t hit the server I’m on yet or what but I just tested it not 5 seconds ago and my hit box is still broken. Getting shot between legs does damage and getting shot near the sides does damage as well

Apparently hasn’t rolled out to all servers yet. We are working on the issue. Thanks for letting us know.

Wait, You work for Apex Legends ? Good to know !

Damn I remember watching you cast the first ever competition I watched of League of legends, 😂

Man that was a long ass time ago! Yeah I'm at Respawn now, working on the design team. It'll be a while before you see the first Legend I'm working on, but can't wait to talk about it.

On the same note, what about any near future changes to Pathfinder? Thanks :)

Right now I wouldn't touch him. He dropped some after the nerf to 35s (but not as much as you would have expected), and he's been climbing steadily back. He dropped from 5.6% match winrate (as in, any given squad with a Pathfinder in it on average had a 5.6% chance to win a game) to 5.1% (that is a drop from 2nd place to 5th place), but he's back to 5.5% / 3rd place already. He's also 3rd highest in encounter win rate (chance that in any given fight involving Pathfinder the Path will die or kill the enemy).

I think PF is in a unique position where literally every part of his kit is perfect BOTH for casual and for competitive play; beacon scanning, grappling hook, and zipline all have great uses both selfishly and for the team. I think that's what makes him so resilient to nerfs: he's still really good even with Grappling Hook at 35s.

Plus, you've already got "PTR" with LTM. That's how you tested evo shield and that's how you are testing the new item, no ?

Yeah I definitely want us to do more of that! Overwatch also has the Experimental mode, which I'm super jealous of. I don't know how effective it is at getting the feedback they need, but from the outside it looks very cool. There's definitely some appetite for this kind of thing at Respawn, but again, not my department.

Not sure what you mean? This was fixed on the same day this thread got made? Here's the announcement from the official twitter:
