Apex Legends devs respond to \u2018sparkalaphobia\u2019 concerns over Season 9\u2019s Bocek Bow Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends devs Respawn Entertainment have responded to a viral post pointing out how the new Bocek Bow is unusable to some players due to their sparkalaphobia \u2013 a fear of glitter. Since Apex Legends launched over two years ago, Respawn Entertainment have been trying to accommodate everyone in their battle royale. A whole host of quality of life changes have been made to optimize the battle royale as much as possible, and the devs are continuing to work on the different accessibility features too. Most recently, they said they\u2019d look into further changes to the colorblind settings. Now, though, a viral post about Season 9: Legacy has pointed out a new problem where the Bocek Bow is unusable to some players due to sparkalaphobia \u2013 which is a fear of glitter \u2013 and epilepsy. The issue was highlighted by Reddit user sky-m1n who said that they\u2019ve been unable to use the bow because they \u201cfeel uneasy\u201d when there are multiple arrows shimmering on the ground with their yellow highlight. \u201cThe pulse gets under my skin and the more arrows there are, the more uncomfortable it becomes,\u201d the Redditor said. \u201cSometimes to the point I have to force close and cradling myself, because I can feel like an epileptic seizure coming. Can there be an accessibility option to turn ammo matte solid without the pulsing please?\u201d Respawn\u2019s Director of Communications, Ryan Rigney, quickly responded to the issue, saying: \u201cDamn, never even heard of this before, but I think we ought to take it seriously. Letting the team know.\u201d The Redditor has already suggested a few different solutions for the developers to use that would help suit them, so it might be an easy fix for Respawn. We\u2019ll have to wait and see as to when it might be implemented, however, as changes to lighting and colors could cause issues elsewhere. But, it\u2019s another shining example of Respawn trying to cater to everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
