Apex Legends Update 1.03 – Includes Bug Fixes and New Cosmetic Items

Early yesterday Respawn Entertainment dropped the first update for their BR title Apex Legends. Inside the update are a number of bug fixes as well as some limited time cosmetic items. Let’s take a closer look at what’s inside Apex Legends update 1.03.

To get the best look we need to make our way over to the Apex Legends subreddit. On the subreddit, Respawn Community Manager Jayfresh_Respawn dropped the patch notes in a post. For convenience sake I will be quoting the post below, but you can also visit the source here.
