Hey Runners! 👋
Hope you guys are doing well.
August barely started and we can proudly announce that today's patch brings with it some new stuff, not only bug fixing! You can now use your trusty Crowbar to break down wood fences, dive into the brand-new "Field Survey" quest, and track your full game statistics right from the Locker!
Of course, we've also addressed several bugs related to sewage pits, spectate screen effects, and item interactions.
Bugs and reports that were addressed in this patch:
Added a new quest: Field Survey!
In this quest you and your teammates must look for the telemetry stands arround the map to retrieve weathear data for APEX. Telemetry stand coordinates will appear when interacting with the quest board.
Added the ability to break wood fences using the Crowbar for faster pathmaking.
Added Helmet Lights on player models so teammates can spot each other from afar.
Added functionality for the Helmet Light to automatically turn red when a player dies.
Added a new feature on the Death Screen to display your exact Cause of Death.
Added the "Strength" effect to The First Ember Uniform (Heavy items no longer slow you down while wearing it).
Added deep Stat Tracking in the Locker, including:
Game Time, Games Played, Victories, Losses, Fastest Win Time
Player Died, Player Performed Revive, Deaths to Tornado
Time Spent on Fire, Time Spent in Acid, Time Spent in Hail
Repair Minigames Succeeded, Tokens Collected, Doors Unbarred
Hit by Electric Cable, Fell into Sewer Pit
and much more!
Updated Tokens Spent tracking to only count tokens spent individually by you, rather than the entire Crew.
Updated Information Retrieval type quests to only require one type of item per match, instead of several different types.
Updated the layout and visual styling of the Company Vault UI for better navegation.
Removed un-stuck button from the pause menu.

Fixed an issue where spectating players would not see the proper visual screen effects experienced by the spectated teammate.
Fixed an issue where fire would remain floating in mid-air without a body if a burning tree or prop was removed.

Fixed an issue that was causing the van honk to not stop if a player disconnects holding doing it.
Fixed an issue preventing players from using the Push-to-Talk key while stunned.

These are some of the main issues that we are aware of and are currently being worked on:

Connection issues to servers or invitation issues.
Performance issues on specific menus, when highlighting items, or when Alt + Tabbed out.
