Apex Legends is still going strong as ever, and to nobody's surprise, fans are still loving it.

The game seems to be one of the most consistent battle royale games on the market right now, with its dedicated fans loving it season after season with few complaints. Of course, there is the #NoApexAugust campaign on the go, but it hasn't even slowed down the successes of the game, and though it's overseen by EA, little has been done to dampen the great experience that the game provides.

But, when things are good, small glitches seem pretty huge. And it looks like a glitch has come back from the dead with a vengeance.

Wattson's Invisible Fence Glitch Is Back

The notorious glitch that made Wattson's electric fences completely invisible has returned, and it's ruining games all over the place.

It has seemingly come back just in the Hunted game mode, without any kind of reason or explanation to back it up. The bug was rediscovered by Reddit user IcySpinach, who shared a video to the Apex Legends subreddit showing their experience with the invisible fences, running through them without even knowing they were there.

"I've seen this half a dozen times now," replies one comment. "Looks like it's a new bug that Respawn will take a few months to fix."

What Is Causing The Invisible Fence Glitch?

Judging by the video, it looks as though the glitch has been caused by one of Rampart's covers being placed in front of one of the fences - but as of right now, there's seemingly no reason that the covers are affecting them.

It's a problem that Respawn need to jump on as soon as possible, as the game doesn't exactly have a reputation for being one of the buggier battle royale games on the market. And heaven knows the #NoApex crowd doesn't need any more ammunition.
