Apex Legends players call for Respawn to fix \u2018invincible\u2019 fridge exploit Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players are calling for Respawn to hotfix a frosty new exploit spot on World\u2019s Edge, which allows unscrupulous battle royale competitors to hide inside a fridge that makes them all-but invincible. There were plenty of new changes to the World\u2019s Edge map in the arrival of Apex\u2019s fourth season, including a huge new Planet Harvester smack bang in the middle of the map, and a dangerous new lava river in Capitol City. Perhaps the biggest change in Season 4 so far, however, is Respawn\u2019s accidental addition of a buggy fridge in Fragment East, which players are now using to vanish from sight, and basically become invincible. What is the Fragment East fridge exploit? The exploit itself is only a fairly new discovery, and was first publicized in a video\u2014also accidentally\u2014by NRG streamer Brandon \u2018Aceu\u2019 Winn, and has also been reported on EA\u2019s Q&A website for Apex Legends multiple times. Basically, there\u2019s a fridge in one of the rooms in Fragment East, attached to half a kitchen that has been destroyed by the Planet Harvester. While the design looks innocent enough, players quickly discovered its entirely accessible. Once inside, players disappear from view. Yes, even the game\u2019s biggest heroes like Caustic and Gibraltar fit inside, Indiana Jones 4 style. The kicker is, opponents can\u2019t even shoot into the fridge. Once you\u2019re inside, you\u2019re nearly invincible. Videos have begun cropping up on Reddit of players taking full advantage of the hiding hole too, including one recently shared by GoldBoot47, who demanded Respawn take action. \u201cThe most over-powered addition to Season 4: The Fridge. Respawn, please fix,\u201d the annoyed player added. How to combat players using the exploit Luckily, it seems like there are some ways to combat the newly-found fridge exploit if you know that players are hiding inside. The easiest way to flush out cheeky enemies is a Thermite Grenade, which lights the ground up when you throw it. Although most throwables don\u2019t go through the fridge, nor do bullets, the fire spreads into the fridge and burns them out. Another option, though slightly riskier, is to join them in the tiny space. It seems like you can fit two legends into the fridge space itself, meaning if you know there\u2019s only one inside, you can sprint in guns blazing and hope for the best. The last way is just to leave them. In Apex, the ever-closing ring is a threat that can deal with even the most-hidden enemies, and if your opponents want to hide, let the ring consume them\u2014as long as it doesn\u2019t close onto the fridge itself. And lastly, Respawn will eventually fix the glitch, so while it\u2019s not going to help you if you fall prey to a Revenant or a Wraith hiding in the glitch spot, don\u2019t forget that the devs will eventually hook the exploit out of the game.

Of course, the obvious answer to fixing this issue is to make sure the invincibility-bestowing fridge is a solid object that legends can\u2019t step inside of, rather than accessible window dressing for the room in Fragment East. For some Apex players, however, they feel like there should be a little bit of revenge against those opponents that have taken advantage of the chilly hiding place, and potentially even grabbed a victory in the arena because of it. The most dastardly of ideas about what to do came from Reddit user CLAYTILL767, who suggested Respawn \u201ccut a hole in the floor\u201d instead of patching it, meaning players trying to benefit from the exploit would \u201cfall into the lava\u201d instead. It\u2019s more than likely, however, that once Respawn has noticed the fridge is causing major problems in the battle royale, they will simply swap out the Fragment East hiding spot with a proper, solid object, removing the space. Respawn\u2019s devs have yet to address whether they will be hot-fixing the chilly exploit though, so make sure you check the fridge next time you\u2019re battling your way through the remnants of Capitol City, lest you meet a surprisingly frosty demise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
