Apex Legends Update Fixes Mixtape Progress, Bangalore, and Caustic Bugs

A rolling Apex Legends patch fixes broken Mixtape challenge progression, misplaced loot bins, and unintended ability durations for Caustic and Bangalore.

Respawn Entertainment has rolled out a targeted update for Apex Legends to address progression blockers, map oversights, and specific legend ability inconsistencies.

Legend Ability Corrections

Caustic's Gas Fighter upgrade no longer persists longer than intended. Bangalore's upgraded abilities no longer destroy deployables through walls, and her Electric Smoke update now delivers consistent damage to enemy deployables following a secondary afternoon patch. Meanwhile, Sparrow using a Bocek in Wildcard mode will spawn with the correct amount of arrows.

General Improvements

Challenges in Mixtape will now properly gain progress. Loot bins have been relocated to prevent them from spawning in unauthorized map geometry. Finally, an Amp icon has been added to enemy health bars to clearly indicate when players have Amps equipped.

Why this patch matters

This quick-response patch resolves critical progression blocks in Mixtape and trims away overpowered persistence bugs on Bangalore and Caustic abilities.
