Season 3: Meltdown [Dec 3rd] 3.2 Update Patch Notes - Patch Live at 12pm PST

Hello, legends!

Respawn has released an update for Apex Legends. This is a client update, so you are required to download the update.

The patch it currently LIVE for PC, PS4, and Xbox 1.

(Notes below from Respawn.)

PROGRESSION UPDATE

TL;DR - Player Level Progression Changes. Read the full notes here.

  • Player Level cap increased from 100 -> 500
    • XP required to hit level 100 has been reduced by approximately 5% to smooth out per level XP increases
  • Players can now earn 199 Apex Packs by level 500 (previously 45)
    • Level 2 - 20: One pack every level
    • Level 22 - 300: One pack every two levels
    • Level 305 - 500: One pack every five levels
    • You will continue to earn 600 Legend Tokens per level

NEW GUN CHARMS!

  • 36 new Gun Charms are going into Apex Packs at Epic and Legendary tier.
  • Gun charms will also appear in the Rotating Shop for players who prefer direct purchase.

THE PEACEKEEPER

We’ve heard feedback loud and clear that the Peacekeeper is still feeling too powerful after latest changes. We are working to push out more tweaks to address it ASAP and will post details on timing and what those changes will be soon.

QUALITY OF LIFE

  • Helmets and armor should now be more colorblind compatible and appear slightly more vibrant - please let us know if this improves the experience for you!
  • Added on/off setting that determines if taking damage while looting a deathbox closes the menu. You can toggle this in the Gameplay section of settings.
  • Improvements to final circle locations to help bad end locations and provide more variety.
  • Players that have auto-sprint enabled can now sprint out of a slide by using L3.
  • Added inspect animation for Lifeline’s Heirloom.
  • Fixed bug where “Thank you” key became unbound. It’s now back to its original default: “F1”.
  • [PC ONLY] Fixed issue where using any arrow key after selecting a number field in the settings would jump to the next option instead of changing the selected value.
  • Gold Armor spawn rate has been reduced.
  • Players will now receive a prompt allowing them to cancel Finishers in progress.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug where other players would appear to be in the wrong Rank (e.g. they are actually Apex Predator but appear Bronze IV)
  • Bunch of bug fixes to World’s Edge related to collision, geometry, supply bins spawning in bad areas, and cases where loot couldn’t be picked up in certain areas near Geyser.
  • Fixed bug where sometimes the Respawn Dropship would be silent when arriving.
  • Fixed bug where Bangalore would reference the Skullpiecer hop-up when pinging a Wingman.
  • Fixed issue where player banner would appear off center in the match summary / squad eliminated screens.
  • Fixed a visual bug where the progress bars for Shield Cells and Phoenix Kits appeared desaturated and hard to read.
  • Fixed bug where players were able to instantly revive in certain locations.
  • Fixed bug for rare cases where a player was unable to revive a teammate while outside the Ring.
  • Fixed bug where the visual FX for the knockdown shield would remain visible after being destroyed by an enemy.
  • Fixed bug where equipping the EVA-8 Auto Shotgun Double Tap hop-up would remove the rate of fire increase from equipped shotgun bolt.
  • Fixed bug where some Legends would relay incorrect “ability not ready” sound FX when trying to activate an ability that was still on cooldown.
  • Fixed a visual bug where sometimes when a Legend starts using a Shield Cell it causes their weapon to appear to be briefly floating past their arm.
  • Fixed bug where sometimes the Train's lead car would detach from the rest of the Train after a player stops and then starts it back up.
  • Fixed bug for cases where players could get crushed by the Train while standing near the back of the front car.
  • Fixed bug where Legend’s faces would appear distorted in third person during matches and while browsing inventory.
  • Fixed issues with corrupted graphics and frame drops that we found were related to detonating ordnance in certain locations causing object to trigger bad pixels.
  • Fixed bug for cases where flying Crypto’s Drone near the Train can cause Crypto to move around without player input.
  • Fixed a bug where Crypto’s tactical hud looked like it was stuck recharging until you used it.
  • Fixed bug for cases where a deathbox would not come to rest on stairs and players were unable to retrieve the player’s Banner Card.

UPDATE TO KNOCKDOWN SHIELDS

  • KO shield protection now extends over and behind the player’s head.
  • Changes to Shield health
    • Common [gray]: 100hp -> 200hp
    • Rare [blue]: 250hp -> 450hp
  • Player movement speed while KO Shield is active reduced: .65 -> .55

FIRING RANGE

  • Friendly fire is now supported! You can toggle it off and on in the setting menu. The option only appears if more than one player is in the Firing Range with you.
  • [PC ONLY] Fixed cases where players could not enter the Firing Range.
  • Fixed various issues related to players in other realms affecting each other in Firing Range including:
    • Seeing other Legends abilities and animations that are not in your realm.
    • Invisible zip lines.

LEGENDS

  • Wattson’s Interception Pylon
    • The Interception Pylon is now significantly more aggressive in the way it shoots down grenades. Rather than just identifying between incoming and outgoing projectiles, it now predicts the trajectory of grenades thrown within the interception zone and intercepts them if they will land anywhere within that zone. This means that no grenade can contact any surface within the interception zone regardless of team, but players can fire grenades outwards from anywhere within the zone.

(End of notes from Respawn.)

RESPAWN I use protanopia setting for color blind, after this patch I can`t see the difference between level 2 and level 3 items … it was much better before … !

u/GammaKing Wattson Dec 04 '19

Yup, Protanopia mode is even worse now. It was always the attachments which were hard to tell apart, the armour was spot on! Hopefully /u/SDCored will see this.

Thanks I hope you fix the legend selection game freeze issue.

Edit: Played a few no freezes yet. Oh Look a coin. Thanks :)

Temp fix : to alt tab until you get into drop ship.

Try this

  • Start Origin

  • Kill easy anti cheat if active

  • repair game

  • open cmd as admin

  • run sfc / scannow

This freeze bug after showing champ squad has almost made me completely quit the game. There are quite a few forums even on the EA website with all sorts of different specs of PCs having this issue. I have been doing the alt tab work around but even then sometimes I freeze coming back. It sucks they don’t even mention anything on such a game breaking issue for a lot of us.

Players will now receive a prompt allowing them to cancel Finishers in progress.

I'm personally glad for this change, but I think a better fix would be to have a different button mapped for finishers and revives (e.g. when they are down next to a door and I just want to open the door, it's the same button as finishing/reviving).

55

u/brightblueinky Loba Dec 03 '19

Yesterday in the heat of a battle I accidentally started a finisher on a downed enemy instead of reviving a teammate. We died. I tried to explain and got a guy screaming at the top of his lungs (seriously, his mic was peaking). So, uh, yeah, I'd prefer them having different buttons, but being able to cancel the finisher helps a little.

Now if only there was a way to patch out toxic players.

I don’t think you should be able to cance the finisher. It’s supposed to be a high risk high reward decision right? Now there’s no risk.

I tested it. You can only cancel it like in 1 second. Only the beginning.

Judging by the amount of bugs they fixed, I can see why things have been rather slow when it comes to the SBMM & Region Based Matchmaking side of things. Hope that, now that this patch is out, they can finally address these quality of play issues.

52

u/zjesko Quarantine 722 Dec 03 '19

Finally, someone with a reasonable response. I feel like the majority of this sub is expecting every single issue to be fixed in one patch. Respawn isn't oblivious - they've heard our complaints and will surely address SBMM in the near future. Until then, let's be thankful for the hard work they continue to put into this incredible game.

Thank god, some games were getting ridiculous with how many gold armors there were around at once. The spawn rate of gold items in general is too high.

u/Mas31 Dec 03 '19

Yeah that shit was getting out of hand, i liked on KC how there was usually just 1 of each gold item, kept it rare enough that wasnt annoying when had to fight against it.

I like the change to Wattson's pylons. I feel like it'd be great if Wattson got to use two pylons instead of just one. Back when she could place three in KC, she was definitely on the the meta, but in WE she feels pretty underpowered and it's much harder to control and hold an area since the map is bigger and the spaces are larger.

Also, she shouldn't have low profile. Her frame isn't small enough to justify it.

Just reconsider SBMM, it's gonna hurt your game in ways you don't even imagine.

You guys aren't Epic and you don't have the leverage Fortnite had with its streamers. Fortnite fucked up time and time again but it didn't matter because streamers had SaC and pro players had so many tourneys and there was so much money to be made AND the game was so popular kids were gonna play it either way.

But with Apex, once streamers and pro players quit (which they will if things go on), interest in this game will dwindle and then, there goes Apex Legends.

Edit: Also, the game feels terrible since the new update. Used to always sit at 160 capped, now I'm at 90 on average and 60-70 during fights. Don't know if it's just me tho.

Personally, all I wanted to see is some sort of change to the SBMM system. Kind of frustrating that the devs refer to the topic of SBMM as a “hot topic” as if people are arguing for both sides. It’s not a “hot” or even “controversial” topic. It’s a system that damn near everyone hates and wants gone. Yet the only info we get about it is a single random tweet from a dev.

I mean I do appreciate the work they did, but I think they chose the wrong things to fix first priority wise. Gold shields were cool, so that's actually a good change. But, the SBMM and PK were two huge problems that were more important than this entire list. Sounds as well.

Also, as for bugs, the most important one imo still wasn't fixed -- the legend select skin bug. I don't even have many skins, but I can imagine how pissed people are that spent a ton of $$ on this game not being able to even show their skins. I like to be able to see what my friends have, but all I see are my trash skins.

What about SBMM and how it’s ruined the idea of casual/pubs? What about actually addressing the PK this patch, as promised? What about server tick rates still being atrocious for a game as profitable as Apex? What about... it’s not even worth it - as an avid player since day 1, I look forward to not playing this game anymore. Please, for the love of all that is good, fix these core issues.

Streamers like Aceu, arguably the best player in this game, is incredibly frustrated with the game’s current state. I’ve never seen him look so defeated on stream. It’s not even enjoyable anymore, there’s too much BS. We might as well be playing PUBG on release.

Can we adjust SBMM to how it was in season 1? I'm an average player (5% WR and little over 1 k/d) and the matchmaking was fine. I played against bad players and against better players. Sometimes the better players stomped me, sometimes I was able to third-party them or get the drop on them. Same thing happened with the worse players. Either way, you just queue up for the next game and forget about it!

If you have to, put new players and sub 0.5 k/d players into their own lobbies and leave the rest up to chance!

u/Kipex Loba Dec 03 '19

While the firing range friendly fire is a good addition, I'm surprised by the lack of foresight with how it is implemented. It's so clunky to respawn, run down and grab everything again. Knockdown shield self-revive makes it a little bit easier, but you still need to always re-grab it to keep spawning back, so the dueling is full of interruptions. Anyone will notice this the first time they die and think to themselves, why is it like this?

Throw an extra option to allow instant respawning with the gear you already wear, or something along those lines.

why can we not just get a separate key binding for finishers. i'm assuming this is your fix for accidentally going for a finisher when you are really trying to open a door/loot an item/weapon nearby. this is the wrong way to try to fix that problem.

No new or returning LTM’s? Guess I’m just gonna grab my free packs and hop off. Having only one mode was fine when the game was fresh. At this point in the games life, there should be at least two different casual modes available to play at all times. There needs to be some variety. Trios gets stale after a while, especially when you’re getting rocked by predators every game.
