“No!” The disgruntled Apex Legends player shouts, after watching their newly crafted item disappear back into the Replicator, unwilling to open again unless another item was crafted. If you’re an avid Apex Legends player, it’s probably happened to you more than once. It turns out the root cause was a glitch that caused the Replicator to close on its own if the crafting player had a full inventory.
Of course, a crafted item doesn’t go directly into one’s inventory, so the glitch in the first place was pretty odd, but in the backend code, the two things were clearly connected. We can’t guarantee that the Replicator won’t close on its own for other reasons, but the glitch tied to this specific error has supposedly been remedied.

A tip for the wary: If a similar glitch affects you for some other reason, crafting a Med Kit (15 Crafting Materials) or ammo for a single weapon (10 Crafting Materials) are the two cheapest ways to do so re-open the Replicator.
