Apex Legends has some serious no-reg issues

Respawn Entertainment’s Legends Battle Royal recently entered – Season 5 and just as everyone expected, a whole new world of bugs was revealed. The latest one is the no reg.

Until now, each – Season of has presented tons of new features along with new Legends, a brand new map or map revisions. Many players were eagerly waiting to get their hands on – Season 5, the newly introduced Loba and PvE mode. While this wish finally came true, it is overshadowed by a bug that makes the whole thing unenjoyable. We talk about the problematic no reg.

No reg stands for “no register” – you aim at a target and shoot right at it, but the game doesn’t register the shots and the target takes no damage. As you can probably imagine, no reg is a big issue in a title that is very much about shooting. The development team is well aware of the problem and even wrote a post about it on Twitter.

That announcement came on May 18 and at the time of the article’s publication, the problem still exists. Apex had some other issues that have been resolved in the meantime. We can only hope that the no-reg issue is now high on their bug fixing agenda.

Respawn hasn’t made any further announcements since then, so we can only hope that a patch will be applied next week that fixes the issue. Until then, players can either take a risk by playing with a high probability that their shots won’t register. However, this is sometimes fatal for the leaderboard.

This isn’t the first time a bug has plagued the Battle Royal game, as almost every time after a major patch, there are some fundamental issues that disrupt certain parts of the gameplay.

What is actually… “Apex Legends?

Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?

What is “Apex Legends” about?

Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.

  • Genre: Battle Royale shooter
  • Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.

At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.

To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.

Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight , each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.

Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.

How can I play Apex Legends?

Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.

Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.

In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.

The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.

Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).

Which technical terms should you know?

Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.

Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.

Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
