The Apex Legends Season 18 replace not too long ago dropped, and alongside some steadiness tweaks and new content material, developer Respawn Entertainment rolled out a brand new secret message for dataminers.
X person KralRindo posted a screenshot of what he discovered when he went to datamine the newest model of Apex Legends. Instead of discovering information that would result in hints on what content material could come down the pipeline, KralRindo was met with a string of code that reads: “const string HI_DATAMINERS = “TOP SECRET DATA HERE ->”, and a hyperlink that directs to Respawn’s careers web page.

While Apex Legends lovers could also be disenchanted within the discovery, the replies on the put up appear to have discovered it fairly hilarious.
Respawn has a historical past with Apex dataminers. After a variety of leaks, in 2020 Respawn admitted it faked the Forge character to mess with dataminers. At the time it sounded just like the builders at Respawn had been fed up with datamine-driven leaks (one developer mentioned dataminers had been “stealing” Respawn’s proper to resolve how content material is introduced), but it surely appears to be like like they’re having fun about it now.
Apex Legends Season 18 launched on August 8, and it was a fairly hefty replace for the free-to-play shooter. For extra data on the brand new adjustments, try IGN’s Apex Legends Season 18 explainer.
