Respawn has released a new update for Apex Legends that bring nerf to Seer, as mentioned in the patch notes. After numerous complaints from players, all the Seer’s passive, tactical, and ultimate abilities are nerfed.
Seer is the latest legend to join the Apex Legends, with Season 10 released on August 3. Many appreciated his design and abilities when Respawed teased the new legend. But when Seer went live, players thought Seer was a bad idea due to his overpowered abilities.
Whenever a new legend arrives in the game, it’s evident that further patches and nerfs will eventually fix the balance of the game. That’s how it works, and here, Respawn delivered its first nerf to Seer.

Other Fixes
- A problem caused by Climatizer FX (“No existing effect for handle” error)
- An issue with challenges (“Array index -1 is out of range”)
- Fixed most instances of Legends “holding a grenade” when they have none in their inventory (Wattson still suffers from this in some rare cases)
- An error with using multiple grenades on explosive holds (the following update later today will cause explosive holds to spawn closed again)
- Switch: Fixed Holospray display
And just recently, Respawn published another small following update:
- Temporarily disabling Prowler in Arenas due to crashing issues
- Resolved a bug that was preventing some stats from being properly tracked. Missing stats aren’t recoverable but should track correctly going forward.
And Respawn apologized for previously missing stats as they are not recoverable again.
