Apex Legends Players Can See Enemies While Respawning – Should You Be Worried?
Much better than normal wall hacks.
A recent controversy has emerged within the Apex Legends community, as a game bug allows players to see their opponents while respawning from a dropship. This newfound ability has sparked concerns among gamers, questioning how this might affect the overall gameplay experience. Developers have acknowledged the issue, assuring players that they are already working on a fix.
On Nov. 2, an Apex Legends player shared a video clip featuring the peculiar bug. The player was able to view another team on the ground during their respawn sequence, a sight that is typically off-limits, as it can reveal the location of teams during crucial moments of the match.
The dropship animation in the video demonstrates the player’s banners still visible at the bottom-left corner of the screen. However, as the player scrolls and is shown a third-person view of the enemy, the banners vanish. This disappearance persists until they touch down on the map.
Another intriguing report from a different player claims that they could see opponents who were far from their respawn location, even situated on the other side of the map.
Players have noted an additional related bug: the disappearance of teammate nameplates on their HUD (Heads-Up Display). Some speculate that these two issues might be intertwined.

As of now, developers have not provided a specific cause for the bug. However, their official statement confirms that they are aware of the problem and are actively working on a solution. They reassure players, stating, “We understand the concerns surrounding this bug, and we are doing our best to address the issue as quickly as possible.”
Considering the developers’ response, it seems players should not be overly worried about this bug. Since the devs are already working on a fix, there is hope that the gameplay experience will return to normal soon, ideally eliminating any unfair advantages gained by the ability to spot enemies during respawn.
As for now, players should take note of the situation, but not allow it to affect their enjoyment of the game. Apex Legends is known for its dynamic gameplay and competitive atmosphere, and a speedy response from the developers is anticipated.
In conclusion, this bug may temporarily affect the gameplay experience, but with the developers actively working on resolving the issue, players should remain confident that the glitch will be short-lived. Keep an eye on Apex Legends’ official channels for updates on the matter, and soon enough, players will return to a fair and balanced battleground.
