Apex Legends Dev Explains Issue With Loba’s Teleport
An Apex Legends developer gave a thorough explanation of what’s causing an issue with Loba’s tactical on the World’s End map with the Lost Treasures’ patch. Loba’s tactical ability is a teleport that lets her throw her bracelet and travel to it once it lands.
Jason McCord, design director at Respawn, explained in a series of tweets why Loba’s ability is failing more frequently on World’s End than it should be. The game has triggers around cliffs on both maps to stop players from staying up there, which is why an out-of-bounds warning occurs when you land up there. Loba’s bracelet is designed to fail when thrown into these zones to stop her from going up there.
The issue on World’s End stems from a slight difference in coding from Kings Canyon, with the triggers being grouped more on World’s End than on Kings Canyon. McCord explained that Loba’s tactical is failing when passing through the grouped triggers instead of only when landing in them.

Pokemon Go July 2020 Community Day Detailed
Niantic has a ton of events lined up for Pokemon Go this month. Ahead of Pokemon Go Fest 2020, the studio will host another Community Day on Sunday, July 19, and it has now shared some more details about the event.
Much like the last few Community Days, July’s event will run for six hours instead of the traditional three, from 11 AM to 5 PM local time. As previously revealed, this month’s featured Pokemon will be Gastly. Throughout the Community Day, the Ghost Pokemon will appear in the wild much more frequently than usual, and you’ll have a chance to catch a Shiny Gastly.
Niantic also reiterated that this month’s Community Day move will be Shadow Punch. If you can evolve Haunter–Gastly’s evolved form–into Gengar by 7 PM local time (two hours after the Community Day ends), it’ll automatically know Shadow Punch, which it normally cannot learn in Pokemon Go.
