Apex Legends Temporarily Removes Revenant in Season 25 Due to Game-Breaking Bug

Revenant has been temporarily removed from Apex Legends Season 25 after players uncovered a critical exploit involving his Ultimate ability. While Revenant has never topped pick-rate charts, this newly discovered bug made him virtually unstoppable, prompting an immediate response from Respawn Entertainment.

🛠️ Revenant’s Ultimate Bug Forces Removal

Season 25 launched on May 6, introducing fresh content including the debut of Sparrow, the game’s first new Legend since Alter in Season 21. The update also reintroduced Arenas as a limited-time mode (LTM) and implemented a wide array of balance changes. However, the rollout hasn’t been without problems. One of the most disruptive issues surfaced when players discovered a method to make Revenant invincible using his Forged Shadows Ultimate.

According to early reports and community clips, the exploit could be triggered by throwing a grenade at Revenant shortly after activating his Ultimate. This would cause his shadow form to absorb unlimited damage, allowing him to rush enemies without risk. As expected, this glitch quickly began affecting Ranked matches, leading to frustration across the player base.

📢 Respawn Responds Swiftly

In response, Respawn confirmed on social media that Revenant has been temporarily removed from all game modes, including Arenas and Mixtape, where the bug could also be replicated. The character is currently unavailable in the Legend Locker, and his icon has been removed from the Skirmisher class.

While the development team is actively working on a fix, no timeline has been provided for Revenant’s return to the roster.

🔧 Other Bugs Also Impacting Season 25

This isn’t the only technical issue players have faced during Season 25. A previous bug involving new Legend Sparrow caused game crashes when his Stinger Bolt was used against a Mirage Ultimate. Fortunately, that issue has reportedly been resolved via a recent patch. However, other bugs continue to emerge as the season progresses.

🕹️ A Setback for Revenant Mains

While Apex Legends features a diverse and dynamic cast, issues like this can be especially disappointing for fans of underused characters. Revenant has seen renewed interest thanks to his rework, and his temporary removal leaves a gap for those who favor his aggressive playstyle.

With any luck, Respawn will deliver a fix soon, restoring Revenant and allowing Season 25 to continue without further disruption.
