Loba hit with unexpected nerf in Apex Legends Season 12 Respawn EntertainmentSupport Legend and high society thief, Loba, has been given an unexpected nerf coming into Apex Legends Season 12, and Loba mains aren\u2019t pleased. Apex Legends Season 12 has kicked off a bang \u2013 literally. Introducing Fuse\u2018s old rival, Mad Maggie to the fray, alongside the all-new Control mode, this season is one of the biggest yet. While recon character, Crypto, has finally received a much-needed buff, Legends like Caustic have been knocked down a few pegs due to their increased dominance on the battlefield. But, an unannounced nerf has hit high society thief turned ruthless killer, Loba, however, and fans of the character aren\u2019t particularly pleased. Loba\u2019s surprise nerf in Season 12 Although its main purpose is collecting loot, one of the many benefits of Loba\u2019s Black Market Boutique ultimate is its ability to block incoming fire and, in some cases, access routes through doors and tight spaces. In Season 12 though, it appears that the latter feature has been removed, meaning that that iconic wolf-headed cane no longer cuts off access through doors by placing the boutique next to them. \u201cLOBA\u2019S ULTIMATE DOESN\u2019T BLOCK DOORS ANYMORE?? @PlayApex WHY?\u201d asks Apex Streamer Karlitaax, with another quickly proving their point by attaching a video in the comments section. LOBA\u2019S ULTIMATE DOESN\u2019T BLOCK DOORS ANYMORE?? @PlayApex WHY \u2014 Karlita \u2661 (@Karlitaax__) February 10, 2022 As you can see in the video, the doors open through Loba\u2019s ultimate, almost as though it wasn\u2019t there. In past seasons the door would jam and refuse to open, meaning this is either a fix from Respawn, or simply an unexpected bug. It seems like the issue may extend beyond Loba\u2019s abilities, though, as one player notes that the Legend\u2019s longtime rival, Revenant, also can\u2019t use his totem to block doors either. It appears the collision for these items has been changed in the game\u2019s code, either by design or unintentionally. Neither does revs totem at least it didn\u2019t for me today\u2026 \u2014 Melissa Cozart (@MelissaCozart17) February 11, 2022 Respawn have already had to fix a few unintended nerfs coming into Season 12, including issues with the game\u2019s SMGs. It\u2019ll be interesting to see whether or not this gets added to the list, or if it was implemented intentionally. For now, though, at least you know not to try and block things with Loba\u2019s ult, otherwise it could have been a pretty nasty surprise in the making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
