"Was forced straight down off drop? Why?": Apex Legends player surprised after immediate unprompted death

sportskeeda.com:

Players in Apex Legends have been facing a weird glitch, in which they are forcefully dragged towards death immediately after deploying from the ship. This glitch occurs when the ship arrives from the northern tip of King's Canyon.

As soon as the countdown ends and players try to drop into the northern dwellings, they get dragged down to the waters. All of their survival efforts go in vain as they immediately die.

In every season of Apex, players have to go through a ranked split. This basically means players play the entire ranked mode for the season on two different maps that are available in rotation. This time, the second split is King's Canyon.

The second half of Season 12 of Apex Legends is ongoing, which means the ranked split has arrived. The second part of this season's split is being played at King's Canyon while the first half was played on sabotaged Olympus.

However, things are not going as smoothly as intended for some players as they have reported to be facing immediate death after jumping from the ship. They are dragged down to death whenever they try to drop and the ship arrives from the northern end of the map.

The incident was reported by a fellow Redditor named "mauy631" where they were forced to drop straight into the water. Many other users have stated that they also faced the exact same issue on that part of the map.

Many suspect that there is some kind of invisible barrier which is responsible for such an issue. This results in creating a negative impression on the jumpmaster, even though the player is not to be blamed here.

Another factor that is possible for such a disaster is that the pathway of the ship is too far from the landing spots even after the end of the countdown. The developers should move
