A recurring Apex Legends visual bug has returned following the launch of the latest season, and it’s affecting Horizon’s new skin. Like most popular online games, Apex Legends has its fair share of glitches and technical woes. One bug, in particular, has reared its head a few too many times, though.
The bug in question pops up when players aim down the sights, making it appear that the character’s arm is blocking the view. And according to fans, the error only occurs when new skins enter the mix. Unfortunately, Horizon’s Dressed to Kill skin seems to be the bug’s latest target.
Apex Legends fans spot a weird bug impacting Horizon’s new skin
Reddit user eat_Mini_Wheats recently spotted the aforementioned visual bug while playing with Horizon’s new skin attached. The Redditor shared their findings in a short gameplay clip, showing the screen slightly obscured whenever Horizon aims her weapon. In response to the post below, another user noted, “Somehow, this same bug happens with exactly one new skin every single event, and it’s always only with the Prowler while using a 1x scope. This has been happening since, like, season 7…”
Players are understandably frustrated by the bug’s recurring appearances. One person called it one of Apex Legends’ “pay-to-lose classics.” “I’m still convinced they never play test anything,” someone else chimed in, to which others responded with a reminder that EA laid off 200 QA testers earlier this year.
Notably, this move only affected the publisher’s Baton Rouge-based office. EA bosses maintain that the decision stemmed from a desire to expand “the distribution of [its] Apex Legends testing team” globally. This supposedly allows the company to increase the weekly hours it invests in testing and optimizing live-service games. Some things keep slipping through the cracks, though.
