CROSS-PLAY BETA

Since the launch of Apex Legends, cross-play has been one of the most requested features from our players who want the ability to play with their friends on other platforms. During the cross-play beta, players will have full access t...

Addresses the following:

• Rampart Amped Wall client error in softened gore locales
• Fix a server error causing immediate disconnects when Rampart puts down a wall
• Fix an error caused in some instances where a player is on Rampart’s turret when it is destroyed
• Issue around specific Bloodhound skin getting a stretched neck while using Rampart turret. We are still working on this issue for Lifeline’s Guardian Angel skin
• Rampart’s “Boom” finisher line from playing across the map
• Kill stat tracking for R-99 not displaying properly

Additionally, we are publishing a playlist update later today to do the following:

• Reduce Devotion damage [17 -> 16] , and increases recoil - these are quick changes we can make now, more adjustments to Devotion that take more time to do will come later.
• Reduce number of Devotions and Turbochargers spawned
• Reduced number of gold helms, gold ...

Hi everyone, this is Jason McCord, Design Director on Apex Legends.

In Season 6, we made a few big changes to the way our armor works. First, all armor became Evo Armor. Second, all armor values were reduced by 25 HP.

After letting the change simmer for a few weeks, we’ve analyzed some data and collected player feedback enough to make a decision. We are going to revert the armor values to pre-Season 6 values. This change is happening today across all platforms. We are keeping the all Evo Armor change.

I’d like to take this opportunity to explain why we made that change, and why we are reverting it.

From the start of Apex Legends development, one of our core pillars was that getting the drop on someone should give those players a significant advantage. We aimed to promote strategy in battlefield positioning and map control. When these tactics were executed well, but a team still outplayed you because of mechanical skill - this felt bad. In Seasons 1 -...

DUOS AND MAP ROTATION Starting on April 7th, Duos will be added to the game alongside Trios, as well a permanent map rotation that gives players the ability to play Duos or Trios on Kings Canyon and Worlds Edge.

Since the launch of Apex Legends, we’ve introduced Duos a few times as a limited-time mode, and overall it’s had a positive effect on the game’s health in regards to queue times and gameplay systems in addition to reinforcing teamplay (something that is paramount to every design decision we make for Apex Legends). So with the 4.2 update we are excited to be adding it as a permanent mode alongside Trios (Duos will not be available in Ranked).

Now, what about Solos? When we introduced Solos as a limited-time mode last year we saw it actually negatively impacted the game, especial...
