Apex Legends pros want Bangalore disabled over \u2018one way smoke\u2019 concerns Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends pros Nokokopuffs and NiceWigg have shared concerns over a Bangalore smoke exploit in Season 12, with the former competitive player even suggesting Respawn temporarily \u201cdisable\u201d her. Since Apex Legends\u2019 launch way back in early 2019, Bangalore has been a fan favorite legend thanks to her strong offensive abilities and all-round likeability. That popularity has remained well into Season 12, with the Professional Soldier remaining one of the most-picked legends. However, concerns have been raised over a potential exploit relating to her Tactical Smoke Launcher which, as it seems, allows her to obscure a large area with clouds of smoke. Tweeting on February 11, TSM\u2019s Nokokopuffs asked: \u201cQuestion\u2026 Is Bangalore broken right now? Or has it always been like this? I am seeing a whole lot of Bangalores and wasn\u2019t understanding why. Is this why? is this a bug?\u201d Attached to his query was a short clip showing an opposing player \u2013 Shooby \u2013 using Bangalore\u2019s Tactical in a gunfight. From the perspective of the player, Bangalore becomes impossible to discern in clouds of smoke. However, when the Bangalore\u2019s perspective is shown, she is able to clearly see through the plumes of smoke and lock her sights on her enemy, leading some to question whether this \u2018one way smoke\u2019 is at all fair. Question\u2026 Is bangalore broken rn? or has it always been like this. I am seeing a whole lot of bangalores and wasn’t understanding why. Is this why? is this a bug? (Shooby came from console i believe and bang is used a lot by console, this isnt me targeting him) pic.twitter.com\/m9tOP0Wa4w \u2014 Noko (@Nokokopuffs) February 12, 2022 100 Thieves player NiceWigg chimed in to say that it\u2019s \u201csuper bugged\u201d and that it has the potential to be abused in games of all standards. Nokokopuffs, replying to Apex content creator sweetdreamsh1, even suggested that Bangalore be temporarily removed from the game because of the problems. He said: \u201cThey need to disable her low key LOL. This sh*t is insane.\u201d Some players echoed the concerns shared by Apex\u2019s prominent voices, but others countered them by suggesting Bangalore\u2019s lack of buffs in recent seasons mean the exploit has kept her viable in Apex\u2019s changing meta. Respawn have not yet signaled their intentions with regards to \u2018one way smokes\u2019, but the player base will want answers if the exploit becomes widespread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
