The third-person mode has been a staple of the Apex experience for quite some time. Respawn once removed the feature for a brief period of time due to an error, but it returned before long to the delight of many a player. Typically, players activate the mode in firing range by visiting one of the map\u2019s far corners, crouching before a specific bush, then switching characters. It\u2019s a rather simple process, one players like to rely on when wanting to enjoy the game from a different perspective. For some reason, though, enabling third-person is no longer possible. Dev responds to absence of third-person in Apex Legends While trying to activate the third-person mode, Twitter user and Apex player Iuwba noticed the game wouldn\u2019t allow for such a change. The user made note of the issue in a brief Twitter post, complete with footage of the failed attempt. Gameplay Programmer Ian Holstead quickly responded to the tweet, telling fans it \u201cisn\u2019t an intentional change.\u201d \u201c\u2026I\u2019ll see if I can find what caused it and get it fixed. I know it\u2019s important to people,\u201d the developer added. It seems that not even developers are fully aware of what may have disrupted Apex Legends\u2019 third-person easter egg. When a proper fix will be implemented presently remains unknown. Hopefully, the changes will come sooner rather than later. While the different camera view once popped up in a Season 3 LTM, it\u2019s yet to make its way to regular modes long-term. It\u2019s unclear if Respawn ever means to change as much.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends dev responds as third-person easter egg is removed Electronic ArtsApex Legends players have noticed that the limited third-person mode is no longer accessible in the game\u2019s firing range; a developer has since responded to the mode\u2019s surprise removal.
