Apex Legends update buffs Crypto's drone, removes World's Edge vaults

Respawn released a new Apex Legends update on November 10, 2026. It continues the Crypto adjustments the team hinted at last week and removes Loot Vaults from World's Edge.

Crypto adjustments

These changes are the next batch of Crypto tweaks following last week's changes:

• Crypto's drone can now scan through glass.
• Reviving is no longer interrupted and canceled when the drone timer ends.

In a dev note, the team says it is confident these changes, together with last week's, will give Crypto's kit "a meaningful boost". It will keep watching match data and player feedback, and it asks you to share your thoughts once you have played with the changes.

World's Edge loot vaults removed

Loot Vaults have been removed from World's Edge. The map has not been in the ranked or public rotation this season, but some players noticed the missing vaults in private and custom matches. According to the developers, the removal was intentional and was left out of the most recent patch notes. It is meant to keep the focus on Strongholds as the main source of mid-match value and power.

Bug fixes

• Entering Crypto's Tactical drone view no longer triggers part of the entry animation twice.
• The Ring indicator no longer moves on the minimap while you use Crypto's drone.
• Mirage's decoys no longer float in place when deployed while skydiving.
• Sparrow's tracker dart can no longer block ordnance damage.
• Visuals no longer smear when the finisher camera clips into terrain.
• On PC, the Ultimate input keybind now shows in the modes where it was missing.
