Itās not one of Mirageās holograms: grenades are actually disappearing in Apex Legends.
Some players reported that grenades can go āmissingā from their HUD and canāt be equipped. Based on how recent the reports are, the issue likely started after the System Override event, which began on March 3.
The first occurrence shows that grenades can disappear after they’re picked up. The explosives donāt show up in the right corner of the HUD and canāt be quick-equipped with the standard buttons, though the display clearly shows that the ordnances have been picked up. The bug can be circumvented by holding down the ordnance wheel, according to another user.
Another player reported the same glitch, albeit with a different name. In their post, they said that the āgrenade disappears before your eyes,ā but itās unlikely to be a separate issue. The footage shows them picking up a grenade in the middle of a firefight. The HUD lights up to acknowledge that they did get the item, but itās impossible to select the ordnance by using the quick buttons.
This issue isnāt the only bug involving grenades in Apexās latest update, either. Players also reported that picking up the ordnances will auto-equip them even if you have a weapon out. The behavior usually triggers when players donāt have a gun in their inventory, but the System Override event appears to have changed itāprobably by accident.
A third bug also displayed the wrong animations when using a zipline and can accidentally bamboozle players. The footage shows a Crypto interacting with a zipline. He throws his last grenade while still traveling, but once he landed, the game showed its trademark animation for aiming grenadesāeven if the inventory was empty. The gesture made him believe he still had explosives, which could be confusing.
Another user commented that the issue happened to him as well. āI ran around for a sec with my stupid arm out not being able to throw anything before I switched to my gun,ā they said.
