NRG Ace baffled after Apex Legends bug negates Ring damage during scrims Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends pro Brandon \u2018Ace\u2019 Winn was surprised to see a bug during NRG\u2019s scrims that prevented someone from taking damage in the zone. In the waning moments of a match, the NRG lineup was spectating the rest of the field after getting eliminated. That\u2019s when a tight rotation at the turn of the fifth round by Complexity\u2019s Ryan \u2018Reptar\u2019 Boyd made him veer into the Ring. In the fourth round of a match, going outside of the circle\u2019s perimeters inflicts 20 damage per tick to players. Staying in the zone at that point, even for a short period of time, would be enough to dish out massive damage. Reptar\u2019s rotation back to his team saw him go into the zone, open a door, turn back around to close it, and skimming halfway across the room to regroup with the rest of his Complexity squad. That\u2019s when Ace was wide-eyed after noticing that the spectator cam didn\u2019t register the damage that the player should have accrued for his time in the circle. \u201cWhat?!\u201d Ace said. \u201cDid you guys see Reptar?! That guy was in the zone for a cool four seconds and did not take damage!\u201d It\u2019s unclear if it was a simple spectator bug that didn\u2019t relay the damage Reptar would have taken. But in the ensuing fights that saw bullets exchanged between multiple teams, player damage was being tracked and update like it normally would. Ace was shocked to see the bug live, later joking with his Twitch chat: \u201c\u2018New Gibby buff.\u2019 That s**t looks foul. \u2018I would\u2019ve been chunked for 80,\u2019 that\u2019s what I\u2019m saying.\u201d The occasional bug like this could present a problem for production or teams during the inaugural campaign in the Apex Legends Global Series. Keeping track of a battle royale match already presents multiple factors for audiences to keep track of, a visual glitch would only add to the chaos of reading the battlefield. On the other hand, a bug with the zone that negates its damage would present a major problem for any competitive match. In either case, it\u2019s likely going to be something Respawn takes a look at to polish their game for the 2020 esports circuit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
