Apex Legends tap-strafing nerf delayed to later patch

A few weeks ago, developer Respawn said that it would be patching out a movement exploit in Apex Legends known as tap-strafing.

The exploit was supposed to be removed with the upcoming 10.1 update, but Respawn has since discovered some unexpected side effects and must now delay its plans.
