Apex Legends Update 01 Patch Notes: Valentine's Day Items, Bug Fixes, And more

Apex Legends' first patch is live, fixing some of the game's issues and adding new limited-time skins and cosmetic items for players to unlock. Here's everything the update does and includes, as well as the full patch notes from developer Respawn Entertainment. [Update: Another new Apex Legends patch is out now.]

Update 01 first adds in a few Valentine's Day-themed items to the Apex Legends store: specifically, the "Shot Through The Heart" skin for the Longbow DRM, and the "Love Of The Game" Pathfinder banner frame. Both of those will only be available February 13-19, and won't be in the store until 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET / 1 AM UTC.

You can also earn the "Live Die Live" banner badge between February 13 and 19, which unlocks when you revive a squadmate sometime during the week.

Apart from that, the patch is mostly focused on fixing bugs in Apex Legends. An exploit that apparently allowed players to infinitely duplicate items in their inventory has been fixed, as has an issue that was causing some players' friends lists to show everyone as offline.

Some issues in the King's Canyon map have been fixed, which should help keep you from getting stuck in weird places or falling through invisible holes. And for PlayStation 4 players who snagged the PlayStation Plus Play Pack, Respawn has updated a couple of cosmetics with new art.

Read the full patch notes below, which Respawn shared on Reddit.
