Apex Legends addresses issue causing Heirloom Pack counter to reset Respawn Entertainment\/EARespawn Entertainment, the developers behind Apex Legends, have finally addressed an issue in the Anniversary Collection event that was causing Heirloom Pack counters to reset seemingly at random. [jwplayer VEi3mnK7] If you\u2019ve been affected by the problems plaguing Apex Legends packs during the game\u2019s anniversary event, and have been hoping that the developers talk about those issues, then your wish has come true. In a thread over on Twitter, Respawn finally dove into the confusion and problems surrounding the packs, the heirloom shards they were supposed to give, and more. According to the Apex Legends devs, a bug was causing a hidden counter, which guarantees players a pack of Heirloom shards at their 500th Apex pack, to be reset. The bug causing this issue has since been fixed, though it did run amok for some players who opened packs before February 10. We’re working on a hotfix to restore affected players’ “”bad luck protection”” counters to their proper count (including additional packs opened since the bug). If the bug prevented you from getting rewarded on your 500th pack, you’ll receive a pack containing heirloom shards. \u2014 Respawn (@Respawn) February 16, 2021 While the bug has indeed been fixed, Respawn is doing two things to address the problem. Firstly, they are working on a \u201chotfix\u201d in order to change the progress back to what it was before it was reset, in order to help players track their pack opening properly, which will also include any pack opened after it was reset. When the hotfix releases, if the player is detected to have already crossed the 500 threshold, they will automatically be given a free pack containing heirloom shards. Secondly, Respawn is giving all players who were affected five free Apex Packs for the troubles associated with the bug, as a further gesture of goodwill. We\u2019re also going to grant affected players 5 Apex Packs for their trouble. We\u2019ll update when the fix has rolled out and we\u2019ve confirmed that it\u2019s working properly. \u2014 Respawn (@Respawn) February 16, 2021 Unfortunately, there doesn\u2019t seem to be a release date for either one of these. According to the devs, the free Apex Packs will come at some point after the hotfix has been released and it\u2019s been tested to be working properly, but they gave no mention as to when that specific hotfix will be released to players. Hopefully, it won\u2019t be too long before the hotfix arrives. Here\u2019s hoping that it\u2019s just a few days, and affected players don\u2019t have to wait much longer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
