Icarus Vault Loot

Product: Apex Legends
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4 Slim
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? kilenc9 (PSN)
Please provide your squad mates' gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name if possible.
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which Legend were you playing (if applicable)?
Which Legends were your squad mates using (if applicable)?
Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. Icarus (Olympus)
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Looting the high-tier loot vault at the front of Icarus
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? Yes
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 5
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? Loot in the vault at Icarus is regular ground loot (guns, ammo, heals)
What should be happening instead? Loot in the vault at Icarus should be high-tier loot (purple/gold armor and attachments)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play a game of BR on Olympus. Find vault key in Icarus. Use vault key and observe loot spawn.

When Icarus was added to Olympus, the loot vault at the front of the ship guaranteed high-tier loot, mainly purple/gold armor and attachments. After the latest map update the loot pool in the vault appears to have been reset to default, meaning that normal ground loot (ammo, guns, gray/blue attachments) now spawns there instead. There is no guarantee of every loot item being purple/gold. As far as I can tell when playing/watching streams, the loot pool is default every time, regardless of hot drop zone, etc.

    Good post. It's possible that this is intentional as sometimes high loot zones are tweaked, but it also seems possible that this is an oversight. We'll pass it on, thanks for posting.
