The 2.06 update has arrived for Apex Legends, and here’s the full list of changes and fixes added with this patch. Respawn Entertainment has released the patch unexpectedly. Meanwhile, it does not bring major changes. Actually, this makes sense since Respawn will launch the Fight or Fright event on October 4. So, here’s everything new with the Apex Legends 2.06 update.

Apex Legends 2.06 Update Patch Notes

Respawn Entertainment has yet to confirm the patch notes for today’s Apex Legends update. But thanks to the game’s Trello board, we know what to expect. The following issues are currently marked ‘coming in a future patch’:

  • Banner incorrectly displaying players in “Rookie” Rank when they are not.
  • Players at certain ranks not receiving the correct ranked rewards for certain seasons.
  • Players crashing on reconnection to the game. [Nintendo Switch Only]

It is possible that the above issues will be resolved in the Apex Legends 2.06 update. We will update this post as soon as the studio releases the official patch notes. Besides that, the changes shared by Respawn regarding the Fight or Fright event, which will start in the coming days, are as follows:

Control Mode Updates

  • NEW Timed Event: MRB Timed Event ( Get the MRB and deploy it to create a temporary spawn point for your team).
  • Updated Timed Event order to have the Bonus Capture event be the 3rd event to trigger, it now also rewards twice as many scores as before ( old: 100 scores, new: 200 scores).
  • Can now Ping Zones from the Spawn Screen.
  • For Controller Players, automatically place the cursor on the best spawn point when they get put into the Spawn Screen.
  • Players automatically pick up ordnance if they walk near it.
  • Players can now emote on the Intro Podium screen.
  • The Hammond Labs map now takes place on Olympus After Dark.
  • Updates to Weapon Loadouts ( loadout compositions).
  • Updates to weapons in Weapon Loadouts to have the same attachments available to them at the same tiers as BR ( except for scopes).
  • In the spirit of Olympus After Dark, weapons that support Threat Scopes/Sights have them as an option in the optic selection menu in the Loadout Selection Menu.
  • Disabled pings for healing items.
  • Updates to spawn logic that should fix some rare spawn issues ( like being taken to the Spawn Screen with no points to select).
  • Spawn system tuning to further try to prevent issues where players spawn in sight of enemies or are too close to enemies.

Apex Legends and the 2.06 update are available now on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. For more information regarding this patch, visit the official Apex Legends site.
