Apex Legends 1.31 system override patch notes

The latest Apex Legends update is version 1.31, which coincides with the System Override update released on March 2, 2020. The biggest change in this update centers around the Deja Loot LTM, which removes random loot spawns from the game. That’s right, for a limited time, all loot will spawn in the same location in every match for a full day. Get ready to get fighting.

The System Override update also introduces the new Evo Shield. This shield is able to get stronger as you deal damage to enemies, eventually becoming stronger than purple-hued Epic Body Shields. To make things even more interesting, the shield growth progress does not reset when picked up by other players.

Finally, there are several new changes and balance adjustments. The inventory update will be of particular note, as it increases the number of base inventory slots from eight to ten. However, most stack sizes have been reduced: Ammo stacks are down to 60, Syringe and Shield Cell stacks are down to four, Med Kit and Shield Battery stacks are down to two, and Grenade stacks are down to just one.

Here are the full Apex Legends 1.31 patch notes for the System Override update as provided by the developers at Respawn Entertainment.

Apex Legends System Override patch notes

  • Limited Time Mode – Deja Loot
    • Deja Loot is a unique take on the Apex games where “random” is a dirty word. A glitch in the system has caused all loot to spawn in the same location every match for the duration of the event. Even the plane path and circle locations will be fixed for this mode, which will change on a daily basis while the loot location stays the same for the whole event.
      • Features new equipment type: Evo Shield [see below for details]
      • The first week will be played on World’s Edge and the second week we’ll go back to Kings Canyon
    • New equipment type: Evo Shield
      • When you pick up Evo Shield it will start out weaker than a Common Body Shield (White), but as you do damage to non-downed players throughout the match it can become even stronger than Epic Body Shields (Purple). Evo Shields change color as they progress, but their perpetual distinctive glow will help you identify them. Progress also carries over from person to person, so look forward to some interesting late game scenarios.
        • To start the Evo Shield will be exclusive to the Deja Loot gamemode and spawn at higher rates; after the event we’ll consider adding the Evo Shield to all matches, so please give us your feedback.
      • Exclusive Event Prize Track with two Legendary Weapon skins
      • 24 Event Limited premium cosmetic available directly or through System Override Event Packs
      • Octane Heirloom Set Preview
        • Unlock all 24 System Override cosmetics during the event and unlock the Octane Heirloom set for free

META CHANGES

BLOODHOUND

Designer note: The intent is for Bloodhound to use their tactical as they are approaching towns pre-combat versus reacting while in a fight.

  • Increased the scan distance for Eye of the Allfather by 3x.
    • Increased time to activate: .4s -> .8s
    • Increased duration of scan: 2s -> 3s

GIBRALTAR

  • Gun Shield health reduced: 75 -> 50.

CRYPTO

  • Primary weapons will now automatically reload while in drone view.

INVENTORY UPDATE

  • Base inventory slots increased 8 -> 10.
    • Common Backpack: expands inventory to 12 slots.
    • Rare Backpack: expands inventory to 14 slots.
    • Epic Backpack: expands inventory to 16 slots.

  • Med Kit and Shield Battery stacks reduced from 3 -> 2.

PEACEKEEPER

SENTINEL

  • Reduced time it takes to rechamber from 1.85s -> 1.75s.

QUALITY OF LIFE

  • Muzzle flash adjustments:
    • Reduced the intensity of muzzle flash while aiming down the sight for all weapons except shotties and snipers
  • Red dot has been added to the iron sights for Prowler and L-STAR; iron sights dot will stay properly centered during weapon sway and bob movements.
  • Heirloom crafting
    • We’re changing up the Heirloom system to make it easier for you to acquire the heirloom you want. Instead of an entire Heirloom set dropping at once, you’ll now receive Heirloom shards. You can then use those shards to pick the exact Heirloom set you’d like. The shards will have the same drop rate as the previous system, so that after 500 Apex Packs, you will have enough Heirloom Shards to obtain an Heirloom set from the Heirloom shop. And don’t worry, your existing progress towards the 500 Apex Packs will carry over with the switch. Remember that once a player owns all of the Heirloom sets, the player will not be eligible to receive more shards until more Heirloom Sets are added to the game.

BUG FIXES
