Apex Legendsis well into its eighth season, and as with most games that are continually updating and providing new content for its player base, a new glitch has emerged on the scene. Sometimes QA testing for the new content misses a game-breaking bug in its haste to get out to players. When it comes toApex Legends,more players are playing the game as well, withApexsetting a concurrent player record on Steamrecently. But that same player base could be quickly turned off by the newly found invisibility glitch.
Apex Legendsoften finds itself in the shadow of the biggest BR games, in terms of viewership on Twitch and its player base. But, it has carved out a niche that works well for it, and it is one of the reasons whyApexcan hang withFortniteandWarzoneas one of the biggest BR games running. Good mechanics, interesting character classes, and solid support make it stand out from a number of competitors. With that higher profile comes increased scrutiny, however.

When it comes to the invisibility glitch making waves inApex Legendsright now, it is unclear just what is causing it, with players wondering if it is something to do with the new Revenant skin or if it is a game-wide issue. The player reporting the bug is seen looting before getting an audio clue that someone is approaching. After a shot goes off and a fight ensues, the Revenant character appears. With the enemy phasing in and out of reality, the unpredictable nature of the glitch makes it hard to determine a cause for. Others responding to the video note that other Legends are doing this too, not just the Revenant skin.
There was recently apatch released forApexaimed at fixing character skinsthat appeared as a monotone grey, instead of in color. It is a delicate balance to keep every asset in a game like this working, and in addressing the monotone issue, there could have been side effects, like temporary invisibility.
This isn’t the first time a glitch has struckApex Legends, and it likely won’t be the last.Death boxes couldn’t be looted inApexfor a while, but the issue was quickly resolved. It comes with the territory in these games,Call of Duty: Warzoneis hit with new (and old) bugs seemingly with every update, so it’s not a surprise to see it here. Hopefully a fix is on the way.
Apex Legendsis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One with a Switch release planned for March 9.
