April 4 has brought a small patch for Apex Legends which looks to bring some much need fixes to the game after the Warriors Collection Event had introduced a few issues.

Although Respawn Entertainment haven’t released any patch notes or information on the fix, according to dataminer Shrugtal, the update brought “some assorted fixes for day 1 bugs of 12.1.”

Further, Respawn recently patched an issue with the next-gen update on April 2 that was causing players to have issues when connecting to ranked matches.

Players have been fairly dissatisfied with the next-gen version of the battle royale so it’s great to see fixes arriving for it.

We also got news about another update set to come out April 12. Respawn tweeted that there was a fix coming for an issue that has been causing players’ FOV to lock at 70 until they restart the game after completing the Bangalore story event.

The last chapter of this event went live with the update, so make sure to hop on and complete it before it goes. Keep in mind that if you run into the issue that locks your FOV, just simply restart your game.


As more information is released regarding this patch we will update this piece. For now, check out our piece on Season 13, including the potential release date, Legend, and more.
