How new Alter bug crashes game server in Apex Legends Season 21

Per Thordan Smash's latest post, the Alter bug in Apex Legends crashes the server when players use it to interact with grenade vaults in Kings Canyon. This bug only surfaces when players use Alter's tactical ability, Void Passage to create a passageway into the locked grenade vaults in Kings Canyon. You will be able to enter the locked vault for a brief period, and the entire server crashes as a result.

This has led to a lot of frustration within the community as players are abusing this mechanic to disrupt any games that aren't going in their favor. Furthermore, it has been pointed out by users that this bug only comes into play when players use Alter's Void Passage on a locked grenade vault (does not work if grenade vaults are unlocked).

However, Respawn Entertainment and EA have taken due notice of this bug and have rolled out a hotfix to patch the same. Players will no longer have to endure this bug as the new patch has unlocked all grenade vaults across the entirety of Kings Canyon. This means that players will have access to high-tier loot in most points-of-interests (POIs) without having to expend their valuable grenades.
