Apex Legends dev confirms fix for new Loba bracelet glitch \u201con the way\u201d Respawn EntertainmentRespawn has confirmed a fix for the latest Apex Legends issue relating to Loba and her bracelet is \u201con its way,\u201d though the Season 5 update patch designed to solve the problem may not ship until at least next week, Let\u2019s be honest, Loba has been one of the most problematic Apex Legends characters ever added to the battle royale. She debuted at the start of season five, and was soon crashing the game, hacking into new areas, dodging bullets, and plenty more. Recently, players have discovered one of the most game-breaking of them all: Loba\u2019s teleporting bracelet simply doesn\u2019t work on World\u2019s Edge. Luckily, Respawn is already on the job, with a patch coming \u201cearly next week.\u201d Loba bracelet glitch fix \u201con the way\u201d The Apex Legends developers alerted players a solution was on its way on July 1: \u201cWe are aware of Loba\u2019s tactical [Burglar\u2019s Best Friend] not always being placed on World\u2019s Edge and we are currently testing a client-side fix for it.\u201d We are aware of Loba’s tactical not always being placed on Worlds Edge and we are currently testing a client side fix for it. For more info, @MonsterclipRSPN has given some additional insight on the issue. https:\/\/t.co\/gVMbnp2PDz \u2014 Apex Legends (@PlayApex) July 2, 2020 Respawn game director Jason McCord expanded on the issues soon after, revealing Loba\u2019s newest bug was due to \u201cout of bounds\u201d areas in the World\u2019s Edge code, which is \u201cslightly different\u201d to the Kings Canyon base design. \u201cTriggers are done a little differently on World\u2019s Edge\u2026 same user-facing functionality, just authored a slightly different way,\u201d he explained. \u201c[Then] the code changed and broke her bracelet for those specific WE triggers.\u201d The good news though, McCord continued, is that it\u2019s already been solved in Respawn\u2019s Apex testing realm. All that is left is to test the fix, which may take a bit of time \u201cbecause this code touches a lot of parts of the games,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a US holiday on Friday, so people aren\u2019t working then,\u201d he added. \u201cRealistically, the middle of next week is when we will ship out the fix.\u201d Respawn could disable the Translocating Thief McCord also revealed Respawn had nearly flipped the switch on Loba entirely, and turned her off to fix the issue. They made a call not to though, he said, because the devs knew \u201cplayers would rather have the option to play her than not.\u201d Finally, the Apex developer promised fans the new Loba teleporting issue was only contained to World\u2019s Edge. Players \u201cshould\u201d be able to play the Translocating Thief in all Kings Canyon playlists without any problems, it seems. We talked about turning Loba off in character select, but decided that players would rather have the option to play her than not. You might have challenges to complete or be working on a badge, etc. And Kings Canyon is unaffected. \u2014 Jason McCord (@Monsterclip_JM) July 2, 2020 When will the Loba glitch fix go live? For now, it\u2019s probably best if you avoid picking Loba entirely if you\u2019re loading into matches on World\u2019s Edge. Her \u2018Burglar\u2019s Best Friend\u2019 tactical ability is a vital part of her kit, second only to her ultimate. It\u2019s a big blow to have it not work. Respawn has become renowned for pushing Apex Legends updates on Tuesdays. That means there\u2019s every chance they do the same for this client-side download next week. That would mean, fingers crossed, the issue is solved by July 7. Make sure you\u2019re following our Twitter account @Titanfallblog too \u2014 as soon as the patch is live, we\u2019ll be letting all our Apex fans know there. Then you can get back to phasing across the map as Season 5\u2019s sassy heroine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
