Previously, a major Apex season 14 update added a new Legend (Vantage) and a long list of changes and fixes. Unfortunately, players are still experiencing a number of issues with the game. Today’s Apex Legends patch 2.19 will fix a few of these issues.

Apex Legends 2.19 Patch Notes
IMPERIAL GUARD COLLECTION EVENT
Protect your fellow Legends while playing the rotating modes in Mixtape and unlock Wraith’s “Hope’s Dawn” Heirloom!
- Added stability and performance improvements.
The following changes were added previously.
NEW LEGEND: CATALYST
Tressa Crystal Smith can use her ferrofluid to reinforce doors, form piercing spikes and obscure the playing field with high ferrofluid walls. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and by the time her opponents make the call? It’ll be far too late.
PASSIVE: Barricade
Reinforce doors, strengthening them and locking them to enemies’ spaces where doors have been destroyed can also be reinforced.
TACTICAL: Piercing Spikes
Throw out a patch of Ferrofluid which turns into spikes when enemies are near. Catalyst remains immune to enemy spikes.
ULTIMATE: Dark Veil
Raise a permeable wall of Ferrofluid. Enemies who walk through it will be slowed and partially blinded for a brief time.
NEW MAP: BROKEN MOON
Explore the beauty and serenity of the Eternal Gardens and Bionomics, or venture to the moon’s dark side and visit marred, industrial locales like The Perpetual Core and Breaker Wharf. Grapple, climb, or use jump stations to access new Zip Rails and traverse the jagged terrain. Built for locals to quickly navigate the slopes and chasms of Cleo, they’re just the thing for Legends in a hurry.
ECLIPSE SEASON MAP ROTATION
The following maps will be available for public matchmaking in the Battle Royale mode:
- Broken Moon
- Olympus
- World’s Edge
GIFTING
Share the freshest Apex style with other players via the new Gifting system, which allows you to purchase bundles and cosmetic items in the Store tab for your in-game friends.
STICKERS
Stickers are a brand new cosmetic that lets players equip stickers to healing items. Whether you are regen-ing your shields or healing with a syringe you can now do it in style. All players will get the Shattered and Deathbox stickers for free when Eclipse launches.
Players can also unlock 20 new Epic Stickers for a limited time from the Sticker Pack Series 001 available in the Special Stores Tab 11/1/22 – 11/22/22 only and not available in the general loot pool. Things you can apply stickers to:
- Shield cells
- Shield batteries
- Syringes
- Med kits
- Phoenix kits
FIRING RANGE: ALL LEGENDS UNLOCKED
In the Firing Range, all Legends are unlocked, giving players the ability to test out Legends that they don’t own yet.
