What about the character balance update? Wasn't Caustic supposed to get a buff to his gas?They fixed it, thanks.
Good catch! They are in this patch and I've added them to the notes.

Hey!
Happy Season 1 Day! The update is scheduled to go live at 10:00am PST on all platforms that you will need to download. Patch notes are below. I do by best to account for everything but there may be cases where I miss something. It's not intentional to omit anything from the patch notes. Enjoy!
INTRODUCING BATTLE PASS SEASON 1
INTRODUCING THE BATTLE PASS BUNDLE
BATTLE PASS HERE, LEVEL ONE
Wow I really blew that opportunity for the title of the post.
So sounds like the battle pass is purely xp based, not challenge based? i.e. we can just keep playing like we currently do to rank it up?
Correct. For our first go at Battle Pass we have it focused on XP. Tomorrow we'll talk more about how that works.
I see that Apex Coins are included as rewards with the Battle Pass. How many coins can we earn in Season 1 from the pass?
Total it's 1,000 sweet sweet coins.
Season 1 starts tomorrow, 3.19 at 10:00am Pacific and begins with Battle Pass and Octane. I'll post patch notes here in the morning about an hour before the patch is live. To get you folks caught up on the info we revealed today:

Hey Friends,
So between the datamining and the unintentional update about Season 1 on Origin today, there’s been a lot of speculation and confusion so we wanted to give some clarity:
Hello friends,
Before we head into the weekend we wanted to touch on some topics:
CHEATERS
As of today we’ve banned over 355K players on PC through Easy-Anti-Cheat. The service works but the fight against cheaters is an ongoing war that we’ll need to continue to adapt to and be very vigilant about fighting. We take cheating very seriously and care deeply about the health of Apex Legends for all players.
We are working on improvements to combat cheaters and we’re going to have to be pretty secretive about our plans. Cheaters are crafty and we don’t want them to see us coming. With that said, we can share some high levels things we’re doing:
Read moreHi Respawn, just wanted to throw you CMs some criticism when writing out balance notes.
When describing changes, you should try to stay consistent with formatting between similar directed changes as to avoid confusion in the future. For example, you have these changes:
- Wraith
- Into The Void - Cooldown increased from 20 -> 25 seconds
and
- Bangalore
- Double Time - Reduced move speed bonus to 30% from 40%
Both of these notes are describing a nerf, even though it might be differing between Increase and Decrease(Reduce). When describing a nerf, it's usually better to state the current state/the pre-nerf state, and then the new value. This is what you have here in the Wraith change, but in the Bangalore change, you have the New value, compared to the Old. So, when reading this at a quick glance, I thought you guys just buffed Bang...
Totally. That’s good feedback!
No plans for a level designer but don’t let that stop you! Lots of great tools out there.
/u/Jayfresh_Respawn There is a bug that is allowing people to change files on their systems in order to disable smoke. Thousands of people are getting unfair advantages and they deserve to be banned.
Are you guys doing anything about it?
Edit: Yes they are
Yes we are aware of that. Appreciate players sending it to us. We will be addressing it.
And all these changes are currently live on the servers?
The weapon changes are. Legend balance comes in Season 1.
Hello u/Jayfresh_Respawn,
I hope this finds you well, in the last update you gave us some more information about the PC crashes. I have a question for you if you do not mind answering.
I quote from https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/av86d6/respawn_check_in_2262019/
" This week we’ve been working directly with nVidia to investigate PC crashing as well as parsing through reports from our customer service folks"
I see that you specifically mention working with Nvidia and as an AMD user and experiencing error-less crashes. I would like to know if you have identified that these crashes are unrelated to AMD specific hardware and if you have not why are you not also not working with AMD?
I am sorry for my ignorance and thank you for your time
Your fan,
Nox404
Yeah called out Nvidia because they were in house that week. There are definitely issues with crashes out there that are not specifically related to Nvidia that we're continuing to investigate. We still have work to do and will provide an update on progress in the next week.
It's possible to remove from the game P2020 and Mozambique ?
Never!
so is this patch live on ps4 right now? because there is nothing to download. ps: good job guys! nice balance patch
Yep it's live! It's a server patch so you don't need to download anything.
Major balance changes:
Hit box size reductions and optimizations for Caustic, Pathfinder and Gibraltar
- We’re better sizing hitboxes to character gear & model
- Since these adjustments have a MAJOR impact on the game, we want to make sure there aren't any major bugs, so we didn’t want to rush them out
- If these adjustments prove to be insufficient, we’ll consider additional adjustments during Season 1
Are this live? or until next patch?
Not live yet. These will be with Season 1.
Is this update live??
It sure is!

Totally fair. We have some catching up to do to manage 50 million players showing up in a month and working towards more regular updates. You'll see the cadence improve over time. Updates around Apex will always be the priority but I also want to share more about the people and show behind the scenes and making of stuff as well.
Hey everyone!
First off, we know you folks are fired up for info on Season 1 and Battle Pass. We still have work to do to get everything ready for prime time and won’t be talking about it yet. There are a lot of moving parts and coordination that go into big announcements and launches like this. I know the wait sucks but it’s coming and ask that you all please be patient with us.
Over the course of this week we’ll be talking about a few hot topics and we’re kicking things off today with a patch that is live on all platforms with some fixes, our first tweaks to the meta, and we'll give a preview of how we’ll be addressing Legend balance and hitboxes for Season 1. To talk about how we’re thinking about game balance and some changes we’ve made, I’d like introduce designers, Lee, Sean, and Brent who will give their POV and we’ll all stick around for a bit to answer questions.
I want to set the expectation that there will be lots of things we can’t talk...
