Baffling Apex Legends bug is still switching out characters before a match starts Respawn EntertainmentThere\u2019s an Apex Legends bug that\u2019s still catching players off-guard in Season 11 by randomly switching out their character pick right before a game starts, and it\u2019s rearing its head in the latest event. Players have been contending with this issue, and its slight variations, for years and it\u2019s popping up again shortly after the Dark Depths event got underway. There\u2019s no way to account for it either; sometimes players are denied during the character select screen and sometimes it can happen when the game gets underway. It\u2019s a bad lottery to win and it\u2019s apparently been happening to more people lately, according to some comments in a Reddit post showcasing the bug. User \u2018BluNinjaBuddii\u2019 showed how it happened to them. While it looked like Apex was behaving normally, the player was stunned to see the game change his pick as soon as they exited the dropship. Apex Legends character switch bug The Apex Legends character select bug showed up well after everyone in the lobby had already locked in their picks. Though the player chose, loaded into the map, and expected to play Seer, they glitch swapped them out to Pathfinder at the last second. \u201cI thought I picked Seer,\u201d the player quipped. Though odd, there are some Apex Legends who are quite familiar with the strange occurrence. \u201cWait, I could of sworn this happened to me last night too,\u201d another person chimed in. \u201cI picked Octane, then I\u2019m suddenly Caustic when landing.\u201d A few more people in that thread reportedly dealt with the issue and there\u2019s not much people can do if they come across it in their games. At the time of writing, Respawn haven\u2019t listed the issue on its Apex Tracker which lists different issues they are actively investigating or that have been recently resolved. If more people experience Apex\u2019s character switch bug in the coming weeks, then Respawn could take a closer look at the issue to troubleshoot a meaningful fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
