Apex Legends Fight Night Patch Adds Two Fan-Favorite Updates

Fight Night, the new event in Apex Legends, comes with two updates fans have been asking for. The first of these updates is a "Mark As Seen" option. The second update revolves around Ultimate Accelerators.
The, "Mark As Seen" option is a minor update in the grand scheme of the game. However, it does mitigate some customization time for players. Turning "Mark As Seen" on, means that players won't get notified on the main menu about new cosmetics. This means players who don't often change their cosmetics won't constantly be pinged that they have something new to look at.

Apex Legends Fight Night Patch Adds Two Fan-Favorite Updates
The Ultimate Accelerator update gave the item a slight rework making it easier to use. Ultimate Accelerators would previously only be activated once used from a players inventory. Now, they can be used by pressing the same button players would press for activating their ultimate. On top of that, if a player has an accelerator that would earn them enough charge to use their ultimate, the use of the accelerator instantly activates the ultimate.
A time limited event such as Fight Night is the perfect testing ground for some of these updates as well. If the developers like the way the event was played, they might decide to keep some of these updates for the main game.
