Apex Legends November 10 Update Buffs Crypto's Drone and Removes World's Edge Loot Vaults
The November 10 Apex Legends patch lets Crypto's drone scan through glass, stops revives from canceling, removes World's Edge Loot Vaults and fixes six bugs.
Apex Legends has a new update, and the headline changes are a second round of adjustments for Crypto and the removal of Loot Vaults from World's Edge. The official notes, posted on Steam, also list six bug fixes covering Crypto, Mirage, Sparrow, the finisher camera and a PC keybind display problem.
Crypto changes
The notes describe this as the next batch of Crypto changes the developers hinted at last week. There are two adjustments:
- Crypto's drone is now able to scan through glass.
- Revive is no longer interrupted and canceled if the drone timer ends.
In a dev note, the team says it is confident these changes, together with last week's, will give Crypto's kit a "meaningful boost." It adds that it will keep monitoring match data and player sentiment, and asks players to share feedback once they have tried the changes.
Map change: World's Edge
Loot Vaults have been removed from World's Edge. The developers say World's Edge has not been in map rotations this season, but some players noticed the missing vaults in private and custom matches.
According to the dev note, the removal was intentional and was simply left out of the most recent patch notes. The stated aim is to keep the focus on Strongholds as the main source of mid-match value and power.
Bug fixes
The patch lists these fixes:
- Entering Crypto's Tactical drone view no longer triggers part of the entry animation twice.
- The Ring indicator no longer moves on the minimap when using Crypto's drone.
- Mirage's decoys no longer float in place when deployed while skydiving.
- Sparrow's tracker dart can no longer block ordnance damage.
- Visuals no longer smear when the finisher camera clips into terrain.
- On PC, the Ultimate input keybind now shows in the various modes where it was missing.
What it means for you
If you play Crypto, the glass-scanning drone and the more reliable revive are the changes to try first, and the developers are asking for feedback. If you run private or custom matches on World's Edge, expect no Loot Vaults there. Everyone else should see the fixes to Mirage's decoys, the finisher camera and the Ultimate keybind display.
