Apex Legends update boosts Crypto's drone and removes World's Edge Loot Vaults
Apex Legends' 10 November 2026 update lets Crypto's drone scan through glass, removes World's Edge Loot Vaults and fixes a handful of bugs.
Respawn’s latest Apex Legends update, posted on 10 November 2026, gives Crypto another round of buffs and quietly confirms that Loot Vaults are gone from World’s Edge.
Crypto changes
- Crypto’s drone can now scan through glass.
- Reviving is no longer interrupted and cancelled if the drone timer runs out.
Respawn says this is the next batch of Crypto changes it hinted at previously. The studio is confident the tweaks, combined with the earlier ones, will give his kit a meaningful boost, but it plans to keep watching match data and player feedback. It’s asking players to share their thoughts once they’ve tried the changes.
Loot Vaults removed from World’s Edge
Loot Vaults have been taken out of World’s Edge. Respawn notes the map hasn’t been in rotation this season, but some players spotted the missing vaults in private and custom matches.
The studio says the removal was intentional and simply missed in the most recent patch notes. The aim is to keep Strongholds as the main source of mid-match value and power.
Fixes
- Entering Crypto’s Tactical drone view no longer triggers part of the entry animation twice.
- The Ring indicator no longer moves on the minimap while using Crypto’s drone.
- Mirage’s decoys no longer float in place when deployed while skydiving.
- Sparrow’s tracker dart no longer blocks ordnance damage.
- Visuals no longer smear when the finisher camera clips into terrain.
- On PC, the Ultimate input keybind now shows in the various modes where it was missing.
