Apex Legends dev responds to \u2018messy\u2019 gun glitch plaguing supply bins Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment design director Jason McCord has responded to player concerns over a reoccurring glitch with Apex Legends supply bins that causes weapons and ammo to swap places, and players to pick the wrong loot. Like anyone who has ever played a battle royale knows \u2014 whether it be Apex, or other titles like Fortnite or PUBG \u2014 loot is the most important part of the game. The weapons you find can be the difference between victory and defeat. So, of course, players were up in arms when Apex\u2019s supply bins, arguably the main source of gear in Respawn\u2019s game, began bugging out. From swapping guns and ammo, to displaying the wrong items, the loot bins could no longer be trusted. The bug itself came when players opened new supply bins. When trying to select a certain gun or item, players would see a different pop-up prompt to what they were hovering over. This would lead to players selecting the wrong items. In a Reddit thread posted by miffed Apex player \u2018HerefortheCapnCrunch\u2019 on March 1, the issue can clearly be seen. While he\u2019s aiming at a Peacekeeper, light ammo would be shown instead, and vice-versa for the ammo pile. When he went to pick up the 40x stack of light ammo, the player would be prompted to grab the Peacekeeper instead. Strangely enough, the R301-Carbine beside the ammo seemed not to be affected by the same issue as the shotgun. The video below first appeared in this Reddit thread. The same issue has also plagued attachment and meds as well, meaning players have been left without barrels, stocks, and hop-ups they thought they\u2019d equipped earlier, or stuck with no crucial healing equipment after a gunfight. \u201cThe loot boxes right now are a mess. We need to keep reminding them that this is an issue,\u201d the afflicted Apex fan said alongside his 22-second video revealing the glitched supply bin, and other fans agreed too. \u201cHonestly, yeah, can\u2019t even begin to explain how much useless loot I accidentally pick up or stuff being taken out from under my nose because of this exact issue,\u201d \u2018bjorn_with_an_axe\u2019 said in response to the March 1 clip. Luckily, it seems like the major supply bin issue \u2014 and the problems it can cause for Apex players who are looting on the fly, or in a high-pressure situation \u2014 appear to already be on Respawn\u2019s radar, as McCord revealed. \u201cYeah, we know. We got a fix coming!\u201d the title\u2019s design director said, before thanking the player who had shared the clip for their help in highlighting the issue. Unfortunately, McCord was relatively quiet on how they\u2019re planning on fixing the problem, and when Apex players will be able to trust their eyes when it comes to supply bins again. There\u2019s also relatively few details on Respawn\u2019s Trello board. Comment byu\/HerefortheCapnCrunch from discussion inapexlegends This isn\u2019t the first time Apex has had problems with looting either. Recently, players were left scratching their heads as death boxes \u2014 which drop chock-full of gear after a player\u2019s death \u2014 would disappear underneath the map. Supply bins have also failed to avoid controversy before too. In Season 2, the loot-filled bins became lethal jumping castles, which players could use to fire themselves far into the air if they timed the glitch just right. Both of these bugs were coded out by Respawn soon after they were discovered, so one can only hope the new and potentially game-deciding glitch denying players the right loot is on the chopping block as soon as possible too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
