\u201cGame-breaking\u201d Apex Legends bug stops players from looting deathboxes Respawn EntertainmentThe Season 5 update for Apex Legends introduced a bug that players are referring to as \u201cgame-breaking\u201d since it prevents them from looting deathboxes and items captured by Loba\u2019s ultimate ability. Players across consoles are reportedly unable to pick up items from stashes while using the \u2018Ninja\u2019 layout of their controller\u2019s button scheme. It\u2019s unknown if a similar issue is affecting PC users with controllers, but Xbox One and PlayStation 4 players are experiencing the problem. After a skirmish, swiftly sifting through deathboxes to restock on munitions or upgrade your arsenal is essential for staying one step ahead in a fight. But that process gets deterred when the game stops you from picking up items in the first place. Instead, players like Reddit user \u2018KillerIcyGH\u2019 are inadvertently pinging the item that they want instead of taking out of the drop down menu for the stashes. The same can be said for Loba\u2019s \u2018Black Market Boutique\u2019 ultimate that keeps the High Society Thief from rightfully claiming what her ability gathered. \u201cFor people who don\u2019t know,\u201d user \u2018peishaf\u2019 said. \u201cSince Season 5 there is a bug through which one can no longer loot deathboxes, you can only ping loot.\u201d There\u2019s been numerous threads on the topic posted in the Apex Legends subreddit as more players encounter the problem. While the Respawn developers would be quick to resolve this issue, in the meantime, crafty users have been looking for temporary workarounds until the problem is patched. \u201cThe workaround,\u201d user \u2018zoganshero\u2019 explained. \u201cFor now, you can actually customize your button layout, and by using the down button on the dpad for pings, you can default to using a to pick up items.\u201d Now this might pose a problem for Mirage players, but until Respawn come through with a proper fix, you\u2019ll have to pick your poison on which button gets remapped. At this point in the game\u2019s lifecycle there will be people who have their button layout refined and perfected. But players who regularly opt into the Ninja layout will have to contend with the fix. Looting from fallen opponents is a fundamental feature in any battle royale, so the workaround will just have to hold over until the Apex Legends devs can mend the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
