Apex Legends Lets Crypto Scan Through Glass in Nov. 10 Update
The patch also keeps Crypto's drone from canceling a revive when its timer expires and removes World's Edge Loot Vaults.
Crypto’s drone can now scan through glass, and its timer no longer cancels a revive in progress in the Nov. 10 Apex Legends update. The patch also removes Loot Vaults from World’s Edge and fixes issues affecting Crypto, Mirage, Sparrow, and PC controls. The Nov. 10 adjustments follow Respawn’s Nov. 4 reduction of Crypto’s drone recall time from six seconds to 0.7 seconds, described as an initial change ahead of further tuning in the [Nov. 4 drone-recall update](Nov. 4 drone-recall update).
The drone changes follow a Nov. 4 adjustment that cut its recall time from 6 seconds to 0.7 seconds. Respawn had said more changes were planned, and the new scan and revive adjustments continue that work.
World’s Edge Loot Vaults were removed intentionally, even though the map has not been in rotation this season. Respawn says some players noticed the change in private and custom matches, and that the removal was missed in the previous patch notes. Strongholds are meant to be the map’s main source of mid-match value and power.
Patch Notes for Apex Legends, Nov. 10, 2026
ADJUSTED:
- Crypto’s drone is now able to scan through glass
- Revive is no longer interrupted and canceled if drone timer ends
Dev note: This is the next batch of Crypto changes we alluded to last week. While we are confident this, paired with last week’s changes, will give Crypto’s kit a meaningful boost, we will continue to monitor match data and player sentiment – so please let us know what you think once you’ve been hands-on with the adjustments.
REMOVED:
- Loot Vaults have been removed from World’s Edge
Dev note: While World’s Edge has not been in map rotations this season, we’re aware that some players have noted vault removals in private/custom matches. This was an intentional change that we missed in the most recent Patch Notes, made to keep focus on Strongholds as the main source of mid-match value and power.
FIXED:
- Fixed an issue where entering Crypto’s Tactical drone view triggers part of the entry animation twice
- Fixed an issue where the Ring indicator moves on the minimap when using Crypto’s drone
- Fixed an issue where Mirage’s decoys float in place when deployed while skydiving
- Fixed an issue where Sparrow’s tracker dart could block ordnance damage
- Fixed an issue where visuals would smear when the finisher camera clips into terrain
- Fixed an issue on PC where the Ultimate input keybind is not showing in various modes
