Apex Legends Gets New Update to Resolve Bugs After Season 24 Launch
Bangalore is a popular Apex Legends character, and the Bangalore Pass Challenge was introduced as part of the Season 24 update. One of the challenges requires players to hit five enemies with their smoke launcher. However, players reported that even after completing the task, the game failed to register the strikes. Additionally, many players experienced issues with the R-301 Damage Badge, which failed to track damage, remaining at zero despite dealing damage in the game with the R-301 Carbine.
On top of these, the Fast Charge Gold Helmet, which reduces the cooldown of a Legend’s abilities, appeared mistakenly in Battle Royale mode, causing imbalances in gameplay. The patches will fix these issues and restore the game to its intended state. Despite these bugs, the rest of the Season 24 update has gone smoothly, including the introduction of new perks for the Apex Legends Assault class, which aims to enhance the class’s power and improve its weapon economy.
For many fans, Apex Legends is considered one of the best EA games, offering a strong alternative to other popular battle royale titles like Fortnite and PUBG. With the recent Season 24 update bringing a bunch of new features and changes, the additional fixes will help further polish Apex Legends Season 24, which is good news for players.
