Apex Legends kicked off the Chaos Theory event last week, bringing in a big batch of changes with the new content. The update added new cosmetics, a game mode playlist, the Caustic Town Takeover, and introduced a slew of legend, weapon balance changes, and quality of life upgrades.
Being such a significant mid-season update, it also generated some bugs and issues. Players encountered glitches and exploits related to the newly added Heat Sheilds, alongside a few malfunctioning event skins. But now, the devs at Respawn Entertainment have rolled out a new patch to incorporate fixes for several issues.

Perhaps the most detrimental was the Heat Sheild audio bug that came to light in the Ring Fury mode. This glitch related to the Heat Sheild item affected many individuals by repeatedly generating loud audio that all players in the lobby could hear. Now that the devs have ironed it out, players won’t have to worry about encountering this audio bug.
In addition, the latest patch sees the removal of the Heat Sheild item from the crafting pool. Some bugs related to Loba’s tactical ability have also been fixed. This should be a well-received change, as it should address some inconsistencies when players teleport using her jump drive bracelet.
