Apex Legends devs confirm fix for Revenant & Pathfinder damage exploit Respawn EntertainmentRespawn Entertainment have confirmed that Revenant and Pathfinder taking reduced damage from Caustic\u2019s ultimate ability is in fact an exploit, and that they are working towards a fix in Apex Legends. When it comes to the Ultimate Abilities featured in Apex Legends, it\u2019s hard to find one more frustrating than Caustic\u2019s Nox Gas Grenades. They can be detonated by Caustic with very little risk to his health, and deal significant damage to enemy players. However, recent weeks have seen players discover that certain characters \u2013 namely Revenant and Pathfinder \u2013 take reduced damage from Caustic\u2019s Nox Gas Grenades. This fueled speculation in the Apex community that it was an intentional mechanic, perhaps because of Pathfinder and Revenant being less human than some of their fellow legends. However, Respawn have now confirmed via their Apex Legends Trello board that the reduced damage taken by Revenant and Pathfinder is an exploit, and is not an intentional game mechanic. The exploit has been listed as being investigated, simply described as: \u201cBoth Pathfinder and Revy take less damage when in Caustic\u2019s Nox gas.\u201d It seems then, that the issues do not just affect Caustic\u2019s Ultimate, but also his Tactical Gas Traps. With Respawn now investigating the issue, Apex Legends players can expect a patch in the coming weeks. There is no confirmed date for the fix, but it seems to be a fairly minor bug so it shouldn\u2019t take the experienced developers too long to find a patch. Other issues Respawn are investigating surround Loba\u2019s Tactical and Wraith\u2019s portal. It goes to show the extent to which they want to minimize bugs in Season 5, and keep Apex Legends as smooth as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
