WHAT CHANGED

A dated fix record for three symptoms that older Season 30 launch notes do not cover.

Respawn's August 26 Apex Legends hotfix addresses three specific problems: Octane's passive could fully heal him, Battle Royale players could become unable to perform actions, and Gibraltar could retain Fast Shotties speed with a Corrupted Stock.

Fixed in the dated notice

AreaListed fix
OctanePassive no longer produces the unintended full-heal behavior
Battle RoyaleFixed a state that could prevent player actions
GibraltarFixed the Fast Shotties and Corrupted Stock speed interaction

This record tells you the fix was deployed; it does not prove that every report with similar wording has the same cause. If the action lock continues, note the mode, Legend, platform, exact sequence, and time, then compare it with EA's current known-issue channels.

The hotfix was published after the main Marked launch notes, so those launch notes do not include these three later fixes. Use the Apex Legends overview to move between the season changes and dated support notices.
