There had been numerous reports of Rank glitching out for players during the past week after the Apex Legends April Fools update. Half the player base saw a Rank reset, and the other half was still stuck in their previously earned Ranks. Furthermore, any Apex Coins purchased between April 1, 2024, and April 3, 2024, weren't credited to their buyers.

Naturally, this caused big problems, and the outburst on social media was massive.

Thanks to the hotfix patch and a prior update, players are now able to access a brand-new Ranked split. All players now have their ranks reset and have half the season to grind to the topmost rank of their capabilities.

Furthermore, all Apex Coins-related issues have been taken care of, and per the latest official update, all players have been credited their due Apex Coins and other event-exclusive currencies.

During this faulty period, players also lost their entire Breakout challenge progress. Though not mentioned in the official notes, the latest update has fixed the Breakout challenge tracker within the game.

Last but not least, all issues affecting player's Ranked Badges have been addressed with the Apex Legends April 2024 Hotfix Patch, and all profiles now reflect the player's highest attained ranks throughout the past seasons.
