Apex Legends Update 1.78 Patch Notes

Respawn has posted the official patch notes on its Twitter page. This update finally nerfs Seer and fixes a few minor bugs. Here’s what’s changed:

Seer Changes

• Passive
  • Increased wait time between sensor spikes for full HP targets (1.25s to 1.75s)
  • Removed center circle elipses
  • Reduced range beyond 75m (blue spikes)
  • Reduced field of view
• Tactical
  • Increased detonation delay from 1.4s to 1.6s
  • Players hit are no longer damaged or flashed. Screen shake from being hit is also reduced
  • Move slow added while holding tactical
  • Lowered volume on audio
  • Fixed tactical FX being visible in firing range when it’s not supposed to be
• Ultimate
  • Increased cooldown from 90s to 120s
  • Lowered volume on audio
• Miscellaneous
  • Fixed several errors releated with Seer
  • Adjusted volume of voice lines that play when Seer is chosen

Other Fixes

• Fixed a problem caused by Climatizer FX (“No existing effect for handle” error)
• Fixed an issue with challenges (“Array index -1 is out of range”)
• Fixed most instances of Legends “holding a grenade” when they have none in their inventory (Wattson still suffers from this in some rare cases)
• Fixed an error with using multiple grenades on explosive holds (a following update later today will cause epxlosive holds to spawn closed again)
• Switch: Fixed Holospray today

Apex Legends is available now on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
