New Apex Legends Glitch Is Causing Legends to Have the Wrong Abilities in Season 14

As critically acclaimed as Apex Legends may be, the game has hosted a huge array of unique and sometimes downright ridiculous bugs since its launch. This isn't particularly strange or unexpected, of course, given that it's a fairly complex title that often gets substantial content updates, but one would expect that its player base would've seen it all by now.

This isn't the case, however, because Apex Legends may have just had its strangest, most out-there bug yet, and it's still unclear what might be causing it. Namely, it would seem that the game is somehow mixing and mashing various Legends together. The player might pick one character, only for them to end up spawning into the match with the abilities of someone else entirely.

Though Apex Legends' Season 14 content has already been making waves in the game, this particular update also seems to have introduced the strange bug that players have recently started reporting. The player might, for example, choose Wattson and get her character model combined with Octane's abilities, animations, and voice lines, throwing everyone involved for a loop. There doesn't seem to be a limit to the way this mixing and matching works, either. Not only is the bug completely random, but the abilities players get are randomized as well.

So, if someone was hoping to leverage Ash's portals to win in Apex Legends, there's a non-insignificant chance of the player getting some other Legend's abilities instead. It goes without saying that this is a huge problem, as funny as it might seem at a glance. Since this is a relatively widespread issue, people simply have no way of knowing what skill set they're getting upon loading into
