Apex Legends dev reveals changes to Loba\u2019s abilities in next update Respawn EntertainmentReplying to a few player-suggested updates for Loba, an Apex Legends dev may have just given us a sneak preview at what updates could be coming for the character in a future patch. Ever since the Translocating Thief was introduced at the start of Season 5, she\u2019s been one of the battle royale\u2019s most troublesome legends. She was crashing the game, hacking into new areas, dodging bullets, and plenty more soon after release \u2013 but players have also encountered chronic issues with her abilities, as a whole. In a post on Reddit, one user suggested several \u201cquality of life\u201d changes that might benefit Loba, such as allowing her to cancel and recall her bracelet mid-flight. There seem to be some solid ideas here \u2013 solid enough at lest to get a response from Apex dev \u2018DanielZKlein,\u2019 who also revealed what the Respawn team has been looking into for future Loba updates. \u201cFor next patch, I\u2019m trying to tackle the problem that usually by the time you get your first use of her ultimate, your team has already looted their first PoI and doesn\u2019t really need the ult anymore,\u201d Klein revealed, addressing one of the most common complaints surrounding Loba. Black Market Boutique, her ultimate, gets used a lot less in the later rounds and possibly even sooner on during a match, really whenever your teammates manage to put together a decent loadout and looting becomes less of a priority. So, it would be very interesting to see what devs are planning to do to make it more viable. Comment byu\/TeeJayKnightly from discussion inapexlegends \u201cI am really cautious to touch her tactical (Burglar\u2019s Best Friend), even though I understand we\u2019ll likely need to do it eventually,\u201d he continued. \u201cI remember what it was like in earlier testing when it was faster and less well telegraphed.\u201d Loba\u2019s tactical is her bracelet, which allows her to teleport to it after she sets it down, similar to Sombra\u2019s Translocator in Overwatch. It might be the most problematic of the legend\u2019s abilities because we\u2019ve seen issues with it from day one. Whatever Respawn has in store for Loba, the developer didn\u2019t provide any kind of date or time for when we could expect to see an update arrive, but we could likely see something by the time of the next major patch.
