Apex Legends devs respond to strange fan request about Vantage\u2019s bat Electronic ArtsA Respawn developer has responded to an odd request from Apex Legends fans who want to shoot Vantage\u2019s pet bat, Echo. Vantage and Echo joined the Apex Legends lineup fairly recently, arriving alongside the battle royale title\u2019s Season 14 update. The newest and youngest Legend most notably assumes the role of a sharpshooter, a sniper whose skills come with few limitations. Vantage\u2019s sidekick, the aforementioned Echo, plays a major role in her abilities on the battlefield, too. However, the bat also features a few exploits that give its owner an unfair advantage. Apex Legends players want to bring down Vantage\u2019s bat Enemy combatants can\u2019t shoot Echo as things currently stand. But exploits such as positioning a Heat Shield on the bat for mobile protection have non-Vantage players calling foul. In fact, one popular Reddit post from Articuno_710 suggests many Apex Legends users agree that Echo shouldn\u2019t be off limits. The thread has raked in over 12,800 upvotes from the community at the time of writing. Notably, the title\u2019s Lead Gameplay Engineer, Reddit user RV-GameplayChris, responded to the thread with the following comment, \u201cYou\u2019re a monster.\u201d Upon responding to another Redditor who argued that Articuno_710 has a point because of the exploits Echo causes, the developer divulged, \u201cIf you mean the shield heal instant activation, a fix is incoming.\u201d Based on this particular reply, the ability to shoot Vantage\u2019s bat out of the sky won\u2019t hit Apex Legends anytime soon. At the very least, players can hope Respawn Entertainment will eventually patch out some of the character\u2019s Echo-driven bugs and exploits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
