Strange Apex Legends Arenas bug makes real Mirage\u2019s simple to find EA \/ Respawn EntertainmentA new bug has appeared in Apex Legends Arenas and is turning Mirage\u2019s decoys from useful, deceptive sidekicks into dead giveaways for the enemy team \u2014 and making the Legend\u2019s kit practically useless in most situations. Apex Legends Season 9 \u2014 otherwise known as Apex Legends: Legacy \u2014 introduced a flood of new content to the battle royale. In addition, the game\u2019s latest season also brought with it an entirely new 3v3 game mode: Arenas \u2014 which turned out to be another major win for Respawn. Despite having a kit that many players originally felt was lacking, the game\u2019s holographic trickster, Mirage, has received several impressive buffs over the last few seasons, and is now considered by players and Respawn alike to be in a much better place. Although his abilities can be both enjoyable and powerful in the right player\u2019s hands, a new bug in Apex Arenas has transformed Mirage\u2019s decoys from powerful diversions into dead giveaways for the enemy team, completely ruining the trickster\u2019s purpose. The bugged decoys began appearing in Arena matches and quickly spread to social media as many in the game\u2019s community began noticing that things weren\u2019t quite adding up with what they were used to seeing from enemy Mirage players. Several images and videos began to circulate of bugged-out enemy decoys, with the enemy Mirage player\u2019s nameplate clearly visible above their heads \u2014 something you\u2019d expect to see from your own teammates, not the enemy player or their decoys. In a post shared to Reddit, one player highlighted how the bug was affecting a Mirage on the enemy team. Not only could they see the enemy decoy from a mile away, but the glitch also revealed which Mirage was the real one and which was the decoy, completely defeating the purpose of the character\u2019s kit. In a similar Reddit thread, user dividedbywords shared video footage of the exact same bug. Despite not even having a Mirage on their team, the player (and likely their teammates) could clearly see an enemy Mirage decoy all the way across the map, even when it was behind cover. Obviously, this is a massive issue for anyone who plays Mirage, as the character\u2019s entire kit is based around distracting enemy players with the trickster\u2019s decoys. If those decoys can be used against him every single time they\u2019re sent out, the character is effectively made useless. This decoy glitch does appear to be limited to Arenas, but it\u2019s not quite clear what triggers the bug, or if there\u2019s anything that players can do to remove it, so for now any Mirage mains might want to steer clear of the character until this gets fixed. While it doesn\u2019t appear Respawn has caught wind of this particular bug at the time of writing, they\u2019re sure to pick up on it as more instances pop up and will patch this potentially game-breaking exploit to make sure the Arenas experience isn\u2019t completely ruined for Mirage players in Season 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
