Why is Revenant disabled in Apex Legends
Image via: Respawn Entertainment
If anyone is here to talk about some blood-soaked legends in Eminent
Season 25
, there are certainly some dark twists there in the live gameplay-oriented development.
Apex Legends
executive developer,
Respawn Entertainment
, promptly removed
Revenant
from all game modes stating that the character had been subjected to the most widespread abuse of a
game-breaking exploit
. This oddly timed decision stirred up currents of curiosity and concern among gaming audiences, especially given how much Revenant has come into prominence since his explosive rework in Season 18.
The Dark Side of an Exploit
In Apex, Revenant stands before us with all the aura of fury, rebirth, and rebellion. Having been once a man, a hitman in the old days of humanity, Revenant's story is of vengeance and loss. The irony was that his invincibility to death became the very problem again-this time, in gameplay.

Respawn confirmed that players had indeed found an ingenious way to make Revenant completely invulnerable to incoming damage. The actual exploit was down to a potion of specific actions, which, once triggered, would make Revenant untouchable. This caused gross imbalance in all game modes, especially in Ranked, where fair play is paramount.
Why Revenant Was Disabled
Respawn's decision to disable Revenant came with a lot of thought put into it. Here's why the disablement was warranted:
Game Integrity at Stake:
Competitive fairness stays at the bedrock of any multiplayer shooter. A legend invincible not just through any single match but the whole Ranked ecosystem.
Massive Abuse:
This was no petty little glitch. Before it could be put under any serious scrutiny, it was discovered by and exploited by hordes of players, ruining the experience for lots of others.
Ranked Manipulation:
The cheat mechanism let players gain RP points illegitimately, allowing them to go up on the leaderboards in ways that violated the spirit of the game.
Community Backlash:
Social media and forums were flooded with complaints about Revenant players exploiting bugs. This frustration from legit players put additional pressure on Respawn to have an expedited response.
Set Faster Precedent:
Respawn has reacted similarly in the past to keep the competitive balance in check. Disabling a legend, a rare occurrence, to be sure is a strong statement that exploits such as this will not be tolerated.
REVENANT HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE GAME
What Happens Next?
The removal of Revenant is only temporary but stands for something broader: even reworked Legends with modernized kits are not immune to bugs. Respawn has not announced a return date, but they have confirmed they are actively working on a fix. This moment is an excellent narrative mirror in the in-game story for Revenant, whose powers were taken away, and he now seeks answers. While the players may miss that lethal edge in their squad, maintaining the integrity of the game comes first.
Will Revenant rise again, deadlier and glitch-free? Only time and a patch will tell.

Arizona: Explosive report claims drama professor accused of forcing student to undress onstage, watch porn
Arizona: Explosive report claims drama professor accused of forcing student to undress onstage, watch porn. (Pic credit: MCC website) A shocking investigative report by the Arizona Republic has unveiled disturbing allegations against a drama professor at Mesa Community College, Mace Archer, 56, who is accused of coercing students to strip, flirting, and exposing them to pornography during class. School officials have launched an investigation into the claims, though students assert their complaints were ignored for months before the probe. According to the report, students in Archer's drama class maintained a shared file documenting two years of alleged "sexual depravity." This file reportedly contains over a dozen anonymous accusations. Among the most unsettling allegations are claims that Archer coached a student to "dive into" her personal experience of sexual assault for performance purposes and, in another alleged incident, straddled a student during a "demonstration." He is also accused of playing "orgy porn" videos for his students. Most disturbingly, Archer is alleged to have coerced three female students, some of whom were still teenagers, into taking off their clothes on stage. Under the guise of "vulnerability exercises" for midterms, students were reportedly forced to strip down to their underwear or go completely nude in front of Archer and their classmates. A student in Archer's class, told the Republic that the purpose of the midterm was for students to face their fears, not to end up nude. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo However, she and other female students claim Archer made it precisely about that. "On the first day, two women stripped down to their underwear. The person who got naked was on the second day," the student recounted. "We all knew what to expect." She described the scene of one student stripping silently, "She was just silent. She just took her clothes off. People were kind of shocked, but it was silent. No music, no talking, nothing." The student was one of approximately 16 students in a second-level acting class taught by Archer, which she said was intended to test the limits of students' fear. While school officials would not confirm to the Arizona Republic whether encouraging or watching students undress in an acting class constituted an explicit policy violation, the publication noted that school rules prohibit "any unwelcome conduct that a reasonable person would find so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it denies a person equal educational access." Administrators for Maricopa Community Colleges, the district overseeing Mesa Community College, declined interview requests from the Arizona Republic. Lindsey Wilson, a spokesperson for the district, said in a May 19 email, "Because this is an active personnel matter, we cannot provide specific details to protect the privacy of those involved." Wilson added, "Our colleges take any allegations of misconduct seriously and are committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for students, faculty, and staff," assuring that appropriate action would be taken based on the investigation's outcome. The Mesa Police Department confirmed it is not currently investigating the accusations.

'I miss my bondhu': Prosenjit Chatterjee remembers Rituparno Ghosh on his death anniversary
Prosenjit Chatterjee fondly remembers Rituparno Ghosh on his death anniversary, reflecting on their collaborations like 'Unnishe April' and 'Doshor,' which earned him a National Award. He acknowledges Ghosh's impact on his career and personal life, missing their close bond and the guidance he provided. Chatterjee also identifies Atanu Ghosh as a key inheritor of Rituparno Ghosh's cinematic legacy. On Rituparno Ghosh's death anniversary, actor Prosenjit Chatterjee opens up in an exclusive conversation with ETimes about their deep bond, cinematic milestones, and the emotional void left behind by the iconic filmmaker. From Unnishe April to Doshor, Prosenjit reflects on how Ritu shaped his journey as an actor — and as a friend. Excerpts... When did you first meet Rituparno Ghosh? I think the first time I met him was at Rinaji's (Aparna Sen's) place, long back. He was a boy with long curly hair, very young. Later on, of course, I came to know he was doing a film with Debashree Roy . I was just married; he came to my place for a narration. That is how your first collaboration Unnishe April happened? Suddenly, he told me if I could do a guest role in that particular film, which I never took seriously. It was a very different kind of film with a small role for me after my first film with Debashree (Purushottam). So I just took it very lightly. But once I worked with Rituda in Unnishe April, after the film got released—though I had just two or three scenes in the film, though I was a superstar at that time, and I was doing all mainstream stuff—people started writing such good words and something like, 'We have not seen Prosenjit in this way. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Promoções imperdíveis de voos baratos Voos | Anúncios de Pesquisa Saiba Mais Undo ' I think that gave me a very big kick. Among all your collaborations with Rituparno Ghosh, which do you think is the most important? Though all my films with him are superb, I think till today, people remember the film for which I got my National Award—and it was Doshor with Konkona Sen. I think that's the film people say I've done such a different kind of work in. And for me also, Doshor was one of those most challenging characters. I really wondered if I could do it. Ritu had made me—he really helped me to do that character. Who among the contemporary Bengali filmmakers are the true inheritors of Rituparno Ghosh's legacy? Every Bengali director of today's generation has a huge respect for Ritu—not only as a filmmaker, but his style and the way he used to tell the story. But of course, Atanu Ghosh, I think, is one of those directors who maintained a very different kind of cinema and carried forward Ritu's legacy. He is doing it very cautiously—not following Ritu's steps, I will say—but he has his own way of telling stories. Things have changed, and there's a more commercial consideration. But I think Atanu Ghosh has maintained that cinema which Ritu made, in the way he wants to do. And I still remember, when I used to ask Ritu who was his inheritor, he would say Atanu. Who else? There is Kaushik Ganguly—he is also a wonderful director. Srijit Mukherjee is also a great director. Everybody wants to do something. In fact, today, a trailer is going to be launched for a film dedicated to Ritu. I have to go just to bless them. They are dedicating this film to Rituparno Ghosh. So, and I'm going just as a friend. I was one of the closest friends of Ritu, apart from his directorial work, whatever we have done. Normally, I don't talk about Ritu, because he was my closest. I don't want to talk about Soumitra Kaku (Chatterjee) again, because I really feel sad. I don't want to believe that they are not in this world. I really miss Soumitra Kaku also—the same as Ritu. Soumitra Kaku was my father figure, like, he was my—my, I will say—guide. He was my inspiration. We all miss Rituparno Ghosh? I mean, honestly speaking, what I really miss after Ritu left me is that I don't have a place where I can go and open up. Like, you know, everybody is senior to me, or they're much younger to me. So I've become a father figure now. Ritu used to be somebody I could go to for guidance. He was a true friend. He was my ghar ka dost. Ritu made Chokher Bali long back, and that was a pan-India film. He practically helped me reinvent myself as an actor. I miss my Bondhu. Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .
