Apex Legends August 7 Update Fixes Valkyrie Missiles and Ranked Resets

Apex Legends receives a focused bug-fix update addressing ranked challenge resets, bot behavior on E-District, and Valkyrie's tactical missile speed. The patch also updates Wildcard stat tracking and brings general server stability improvements.

A new Apex Legends update arrives to fix lingering issues with ranked progression, bot movement, and Valkyrie's tactical speed alongside server reliability upgrades.

Gameplay and Legend Fixes

Valkyrie's tactical missiles now fly at their intended speed. On the map front, bots on E-District no longer cluster in a single spot to fight each other.

Progression and Stats

Ranked challenges now properly reset for players who completed them during the previous season. Meanwhile, Wildcard stats no longer affect seasonal and overall statistics, though the 4K damage and 20-kill badges remain earnable.

Infrastructure

The developers implemented general server stability improvements to address overall connectivity and performance.

Why this patch matters

This minor update cleanly resolves a handful of specific progression bugs and legend inconsistencies without shifting the overarching meta.
