Apex Legends dev responds to Mirage\u2019s decoys blocking bullets, melees, and explosives Respawn EntertainmentWith Apex Legends players discovering that the Mirage\u2019s Decoys have the ability to block certain damages, a developer from Respawn Entertainment has issued a response. Mirage is one of the more polarizing characters in Apex Legends, as some enjoy using him in-game while others content that his abilities simply don\u2019t stand up well to that of the other Legends. However, Mirage, much like some of the other Legends, has some secret properties that may not have been explicitly stated in official game guides, which could make him much more viable than many believe. Mirage\u2019s Decoys block damage On May 2, a Reddit user named \u2018SaberTheNoob\u2019 posted a video in which he demonstrated that the Mirage\u2019s Decoy was able to block the effects of a nearby Arc Star from hitting the actual Legend. According to the post, the player has tested this out with bullets, melees, and other kinds of explosives, and has achieved the same result each time. Respawn developer responds With the post gaining a lot of traction on Reddit, it inevitably caught the eyes of Respawn, and developer \u2018glutinousriceball\u2019 posted a comment underneath. \u201cThanks for letting us know! I\u2019ve made a report,\u201d they said. \u201cIt\u2019s just a report for now. It\u2019ll get prioritized against everything else. Judging from that response, it would seem that this effect of the Mirage\u2019s Decoys was not intended to exist in the game. This means that it will likely get patched up eventually, although as the comment seems to suggest, it could be a while before that happens. For example, both the Caustic\u2019s Nox Gas Trap and Lifeline\u2019s D.O.C Heal Drone have the ability to deflect certain kinds of damages, even if that\u2019s not a part of their actual function.

However, it would appear, at least for now, that Respawn will eventually patch the Decoys, so you should use them as shields while you still can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
