Apex Legends\u2019 Warriors Collection event arrived on March 29, reintroducing the 9v9 Control mode and of course, adding Crypto\u2019s incredible Biwon Blade Heirloom. Despite this, a lot of players have been running into issues with placeable abilities since the patch went live, including Pathfinder\u2019s zipline, Wattson\u2019s fences, and Rampart\u2019s walls. For whatever reason, the indicator will remain permanently red, making it impossible to place down the object. As the majority of these abilities are fundamental elements of these Legends\u2019 kits, it\u2019s making it hard for these characters to compete in matches. Placeable ability bug makes certain Legends useless Following the Warriors update, a lot of the community has been finding it impossible to put down placeable abilities on the map. This is a huge problem for Legends like Wattson, whose Ultimate and Tactical require her to place down a device. As shown by Vikan12 on the Apex Legends subreddit, no matter where they attempt to position the Interception Pylon or the fences, they simply refuse to activate. It\u2019s worth noting that the majority of the clips being shared when it comes to this bug are taking place on Storm Point, so it\u2019s possible it\u2019s related to the map, but nothing has been confirmed by the devs. This glitch is not limited to Wattson and seems to be occurring with every placeable ability in the game that includes an indicator. Reddit user Raka864 shared a video of them attempting to use Pathfinder\u2019s zipline, but the ability just refuses to work. While there has been no explanation from Respawn on why this glitch is happening, it\u2019s definitely linked to the recent Warriors patch. Luckily, a dev responded to a Twitter post on March 30 confirming that the bug is being reviewed by the team, so it\u2019s possible a fix is implemented soon. It\u2019s safe to say this isn\u2019t a minor issue as it affects the majority of Legends on the roster, so Respawn will need to resolve this problem as soon as possible. In the meantime, it may be worth sticking to characters like Bloodhound, Mirage, and Wraith, as you\u2019ll avoid being affected by this frustrating glitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends update breaks Wattson &#038; Pathfinder abilities by not placing anywhere Respawn EntertainmentThe Warriors update in Apex Legends appears to have broken a lot of placeable abilities in the game, including Wattson\u2019s fences and Pathfinder\u2019s zipline.
