Apex Legends has today launched update 1.78, so here’s the full list of changes and additions with this patch! Today’s update finally brings some updates to Seer, bringing him down from the intel powerhouse he’s well known for at this point. These should bring him more in line with other characters, as many believe him to be nearly a must-pick for team compositions. There are some extra bug fixes as well, further optimizing the game state. Without further adieu though, here’s everything new with Apex Legends update 1.78!

Apex Legends Update 1.78 Patch Notes

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 his 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 error related with Seer
  • Adjusted volume of voice lines that play when Seer is chosen

Other Fixes

  • Fixed a problem caused by Climbatizer 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 (Watson 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 explosive holds to spawn closed again)
  • Switch: Fixed Holospray display

With some wide-sweeping nerfs across the board, Seer should be much harder to abuse for Apex Legends’ 1.78 update. With easier recoveries after being hit by his tactical and less intel gained from just the passive, Seer will have a harder (albeit not challenging) time spotting his targets. Overall, a good update, even if many wouldn’t consider this enough.

Apex Legends is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. For more information regarding this update, check out the official Twitter post.
