The progression of Apex Legends into its sixth season brought a variety of new content to the Battle Royale. The highly anticipated season introduced several changes, including a crafting system, an energy-based Volt SMG, and a revamped World’s Edge, among others. A new legend, Rampart, also joined the ranks to take part in the Apex Games.
Apart from a variety of fresh seasonal content, fans also got to experience a host of new events in the game. These events have gradually become a fan-favorite feature and keep the player longing for more.
Recently, Respawn announced the commencement of the September Soiree event on Tuesday.

Apex Legends puts the September Soiree on hold
DUMMIE’s Big Day is a returning LTM, where instead of the legends, players have to pick a dummy like the ones found at the firing range. These dummies typically have the same set of tactical and ultimate abilities.
While the tactical ability drops random loot, the ultimate dispatches a group of decoys or has healing effects. Due to similar abilities, it ultimately boils down to the player’s gun skills and strategic positioning.
However, within a few hours of going Live, DUMMIE’s Big Day ran into some server issues, causing Respawn to pause the party. Respawn confirmed in a tweet that they had encountered a game-breaking bug that caused server crashes.
Out of concern for their game and players, the devs decided to withdraw the LTM. They are currently devising a workaround for the glitch.
“We’re hitting pause on the party. After DUMMIES Big Day went live, we discovered a bug that caused server crashes if a player AFKed on character select. For the health of the game and our players, we’re turning it off and working on a fix with details to come as we have them.”

So far, there is no official word from Respawn if the unfortunate halt alters their schedule for September Soiree. They are working on a fix to make up for the time that DUMMIE’s Big Day will miss out on.
