Apex Legends Season 12 Defiance is now live in the game, and fans have quite a bit to look forward to! The new season features a brand-new Legend in the form of Mad Maggie, as well as a new 9v9 limited time mode called Control. These additions will likely be the most exciting part of today’s update, but Respawn Entertainment has also added a number of bug fixes, quality of life changes, and other improvements. Hopefully these changes will make for a more balanced experience overall. Full patch notes from the game’s official website can be found below:
Pressing the Tactical button causes Crypto to send the Drone flying in a straight line in the direction of Crypto’s view for a few seconds.
If thrown to a wall (or other geo), the Drone will hit the wall and re-orient itself so that it’s facing away from the wall.
Crypto no longer immediately accesses Drone View after deploying his Drone in this way.
Pressing and holding the [Tactical] button will launch the Drone forward in the same way, but then Crypto will immediately access Drone View.
