Revenant was temporarily removed from Apex Legends in Season 25 due to a widespread and game-breaking exploit that made him invincible. The exploit involved a specific sequence where players would activate Revenant's Ultimate ability just as they were hit by a grenade, causing him to become completely immune to all incoming damage-including bullets, abilities, ordnance, and environmental damage-effectively putting him in "god mode" during his Ultimate
. This bug was heavily abused by players, especially in Ranked matches, allowing them to unfairly gain competitive points and climb leaderboards. The exploit severely disrupted game balance and competitive integrity, leading to significant community backlash and complaints
. In response, Respawn Entertainment promptly disabled Revenant across all game modes starting May 11, 2025, to prevent further abuse while they work on a fix. The developers have not yet announced when Revenant will be re-enabled, but the character is expected to return once the issue is resolved
. In summary, Revenant's removal was a temporary measure to address a critical invincibility bug that compromised fair play in Apex Legends.
