Revenant Removed from Apex Legends Season 25

Revenant Removed from Apex Legends Season 25

Season 25 of Apex Legends launched on May 6 with new content, including the debut of Sparrow, the return of Arenas as an LTM, and several balance changes. But just days into the season, Respawn Entertainment made a bold move—temporarily removing Revenant from all game modes due to a major exploit tied to his Ultimate.

The Revenant Exploit Explained

Revenant’s Forged Shadows Ultimate was found to have a critical bug. Players discovered that by triggering his Ultimate and then being hit by a grenade at the right moment, Revenant would become completely invincible. This glitch allowed him to take zero damage while attacking, making him nearly unstoppable in fights.

YouTuber bobz showcased the bug in a video, which quickly went viral. Players began abusing the exploit in Ranked, Arenas, and Mixtape, leading to widespread imbalance and frustration in the community.

Why Respawn Pulled Revenant

Respawn removed Revenant from the game on all platforms, citing four key reasons:

  • Competitive Integrity: An invincible Legend in Ranked play broke the foundation of fair matchmaking.
  • Widespread Abuse: The glitch was exploited on a large scale before a fix could be deployed.
  • Unfair RP Gains: Players gained Ranked Points unfairly, climbing leaderboards through exploits.
  • Community Backlash: Social media and forums lit up with complaints from players demanding action.

This isn’t the first time Respawn has disabled a Legend due to a bug, but it’s rare—and it sends a strong message about their stance on exploits.

The Bigger Picture

The removal is temporary, but no return date has been shared. Respawn confirmed they’re actively working on a fix. The issue highlights that even reworked Legends, like Revenant post-Season 18, are still vulnerable to critical bugs.

In-game, Revenant’s lore is built around pain, rebirth, and power. In reality, his powers were just too broken to leave unchecked.

What Players Can Expect

  • Revenant is currently unselectable and missing from the Legend roster.
  • A future patch will likely re-enable him once the bug is resolved.
  • More details could surface in upcoming patch notes or Dev Tracker posts.

Final Thought

While losing a top-tier Legend is never ideal, protecting the integrity of Apex Legends comes first. Revenant will return—but next time, without the invincibility cheat.
