Respawn has released a new hotfix patch for Apex Legends that makes a few player-requested bug fixes to the game. Additionally, the September Soiree limited-time event--which had been previously put on hold following game breaking issues--is back on.

The new patch most notably addresses knockdown shields, which have been broken since the start of Season 6: Boosted. They will now do what they're supposed to do and consistently block bullets when you're downed. The full patch notes are listed below.

Apex Legends September 10 Hotfix Patch Notes

• Fixes:
  • Improvements to Reconnect
  • Wraith portals disappearing if place in certain areas
  • Knockdown shields not blocking shots
  • Beacons showing up in minimap but not in-world
  • Improved Ring logic
  • Several game logic errors

The September Soiree returns with a fan-favorite mode: Kings Canyon After Dark. The mode allows you to play on a nighttime version of Season 2's Kings Canyon--so yes, if you miss Skull Town, the mode will allow you to once again drop onto and fight in the popular landmark.
