There’s still plenty to do in Apex, with the new World’s Edge map for the regular mode and the night version of Kings Canyon available in the Shadowfall LTM, as well as the new legend Crypto to get used to.
However, some new bugs have also been found, as well as some older bugs still rearing their ugly heads, but Respawn are committed to keeping on top of it all, and have revealed all the issues they are investigating and fixing.

Apex Legends bug fixes coming in future patch
The following issues have been marked as ‘coming in a future patch’ by Respawn. This doesn’t guarantee they will be in the next patch, but it should be soon.

- Incorrect Series 1 badges
- Some user’s are receiving the incorrect badge for their Reward series 1 of rank

In addition to the above, Respawn are also investigating the following issues, but there’s no confirmation that fixes are coming in a future patch.
- Lifeline DOC bug
- The lifeline drone does not heal crypto while he is controlling his recon drone.
