    The new support system they launched is quite good actually and the response period is not that long in my opening, at least when I contacted them. I suggest you open a ticket anyway to be sure. It can't hurt and if there's a problem, it's better to get it fixed so you can play with the premium or getting the 200 G1C you're referring to. ^...^ 

    So I did open a support ticket, and the response is as follows;

    My question is about the Vault, that was added February 9, 2026

    https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2026/2/9/introducing-the-vault

     

    I was able to retrieve & enable the free Premium that Little Orbit had recently provided to everyone.

    But noticed that I have, what appears to be 200 G1C available.

    Please see attached image.

     

    1) The "1/1 200 G1C " indicates that I have 200 G1C that has not been retrieved yet. Am I understanding this correctly ?

    2) If I do have 200 G1C, how do I retrieve it ? There is nothing on the Vault page to indicate HOW to retrieve it.

    Hi there, The G1C was automatically credited in your account without the need to claim it in your vault.

    That's just a visual bug, but the G1C was delivered correctly.

     

    Kind regards,


    I wanted to share this, if anyone else was wondering how the G1C is obtained.

    Did you redeem it on any other char? it's one of the items that shows across all vaults, but can only be redeem on one char.

    For whatever reason it will show 1/1 on every charcter even after its taken and does not disaper 

    I have only been using one char exclusively for some time now.

    The notation 1/1 200 G1C is what's confusing.

     

    Prior to redeeming the Premium, the notation was   1/1 Premium,
    now the notation  is 0/1 Premium, which I guess indicates that the Premium was successfully retrieved.

    The Legends redeem code, wasn't that when they released the Legends update/patch earlier?

     

    I'm pretty sure that they had an expire date written when they announced it, but I can't say 100% for sure. Not that it helps you a lot, but I am certain that it was the case ❤️ 

    Edit:
    I checked my YouTube and I made a video in March this year about the Legends patch so it's a 4-5 months old redeem code.

    I'm pretty sure I redeemed that code when I saw the May 19th post.
    Assuming I did redeem it, the message should have been "This code has already been redeemed", not "This code has expired"
    Just a bit confusing.

    Still hoping to hear back concerning the 200 G1C that is displayed in my Vault.

    I'll wait a few more days before opening a ticket.

    Update:

     

    Not sure if this is related to my above post, 
    but looking back in the forum posts from May 19th,
     

     

    There was a redeem code available for 200 G1C ????

     

    I just tried to redeem it on the Marketplace website, but the message said it has expired.
    Most unfortunate.

    Anyway, hopefully an LO staff member can shed some light on what is displayed on my Vault.
    I remain optimistic.  "for now"

    I posted my question about the Vault, that was added February 9, 2026 
    https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/news/2026/2/9/introducing-the-vault

     

    In Lo's Discord, but no one really had an answer.

    I figure I would post the question here before opening a Support ticket.

    I was able to retrieve & enable the free Premium that LO had recently provided to  everyone. (Thamks LO)
    But noticed that I have, what appears to be 200 G1C available.

    Question:

    1) The   "1/1    200 G1C " indicates that I have 200 G1C that has not been retrieved yet.
        Am I understanding this correctly ?

    2) If I do have 200 G1C, how do I retrieve it ?
        There is nothing on the Vault page to indicate HOW to retrieve it.

    If an LO staff member can provide an answer here, that would be great.
    If not, I understand that Support might be the best option to answer this question.

    Much appreciated.

    I saw the recent announcements on LO Discord pertaining to the Server Status 
    to replace the 3rd party website https://will.io/apb/

     

    LO has provide their own website to display Server Status/Player count

    https://www.gamersfirst.com/apb/status

     

    This is great, and appreciate the effort that the dev team put into this.

    Total Player count is displayed, and there are visual indicators to show the rough percentage of Enforcers vs Criminals.
     

     

    Current Status:
    Shows the total number of players in the district, and a visual indicator as to the rough ratio of Enforcers vs Criminals
     

    e06rryQ.jpeg

     

     

    Proposed Status:
    This updated view shows the total count of Enforcers vs Criminals

    6RzQhfe.jpeg

    Just a thought.


    But great to see this feature added.
    Thanks

    5/23/2026 AMA Bullet Summary

     

    ·         LO plans on adding their own web based Server/District Population Status
    to replace community developed https://will.io/apb/
     

    ·         GFAC Server side is providing great results, more work needs to be done on Client side

    ·         Matt believes the Color Rank system (Bronze/Silver/Gold) is outdated, and discussed
    removing it all together
     

    ·         Improve New Player experience, recognizes that they have bad player retention
    Is not happy that New Players are t5hrust into missions against seasoned Vets
    New Players ultimately quit
     

    ·         They have been playing around on their dev server with BOTS, the purpose is
    to create PvE opportunities. This ties in to New Player experiences, Game Tutorials
    Leveling Contacts/Stats will occur, but not at the same level as regular missions
     

    ·         Players using 3rd party tools to gain an advantage have been pooled against
    like minded players.
    Because of low population, some of these 3rd party tools players are experience
    long wait times to go up against other 3rd party tools players


    ·         The addition of Tails was mentioned, and the subject was quickly changed as
    Matt was shaking his head


    ·         Matt wants to do away with ARMAS requiring you to select a Character when
    Redeeming codes and buying items, and just let the purchase be accessible at the Account level


    ·         Matt is happy with the new Vault features as a way to manage your inventory, and
    the transfer of items between account Characters


    ·         APB is ready for an Epic Game Store release, but Matt wants to improve New Player experience
    before Epic release to insure New Player retention has been addressed
     

    I probably missed some things, but this was the jist of it.
    I like the idea of PvE BOTS, as long as they’re not cheating.

     

     

    EDIT:

    Also APB console is coming back
    UE5 development is on hold, as they concentrate on Player retention and QOL updates

    This is a free code from INSTAGRAM

     

    CODE: APBLEGENDS2026

    Gives 200G1C

     

    I wish I was kidding but I thought it was a fake code. I didn't expect it to actually work.  Wanted to put this out there since I thought I was seeing shit until I found out it's a real code. Also it's good to be back on here. I can't get back into my Xbox Account but I still have this account.

    Huge thanks for posting this.
    Every G1C bit counts.

    1) Any updates as to the use of the independently developed
        “APB Population Status” utility ?

        https://will.io/apb/  
     

        I remember that you had mentioned in your 10/21/2025 AMA
        that you liked this utility, and it would be worth while 
        to contact the developer to get this working again.
     

    2) What is your assessment of the effectiveness of GFAC ?
        Anything you can share with the community ?
        Are you pleased with the results so far ?
        Any changes or additions you would like to make with regards to GFAC ?

    Then again, the servers shouldn't be down often enough to need that type of monitoring.


    I can't speak for anyone else, but my sole use of the "APB Watcher" website,  was to see the population 
    of the Districts, primarily Fight Club districts, as those were my favorite.

    Baylan Shipping was my all time favorite, Abington was my second favorite.

    I haven't played NA Baylan in almost 3 years, never populated,
    and the last time I played NA Abington was maybe 2 years ago.

    I suppose I could check out EU Fight Clubs, even though I do not have as many weapons over there, 
    and the ping is higher for me.

    It was just a nice "QOL" game feature to see if a district is populated enough to 
    pause whatever movie I was streaming, and to hop in game.

    So, I never used that website to see if APB was up and running.


    I posted this question to the LO staff here around 6 days ago.
    It's been kind of whisper quiet so far.

    Might have to venture over to Discord and give it a shot over there.
    Wish me luck.

    Wanted to reach out to the staff for any update on access to this offline
    “APB Population Status” utility.

    https://will.io/apb/

    Many of times, I have used this utility to view the stats on NA-Fight Club back in the day.
    (cause I really liked FC,  No commitments and such), fond memories.

    Anyways, the last AMA 10/21/2025,  I believe this topic came up.
    Matt Scott had mentioned that he would like to reach out to that developer,
    to discuss the API and recent GFAC implementations.
     

    Just curious how that’s going ?
    Any progress ?

    Any feedback from the community is of course always welcomed,
    and would be overjoyed to hear some official word from the LO staff.

    If this message would be better served on LO’s Discord, let me know.

    Comments from @CookiePuss is always welcome, and I would be most “honored”,   
    if @EC2Jonathan could approve this post as soon as possible.

    Much Thanks

    yea thats the error. there was a win update yesterday, i have no clue how you would undo that. 

    and how would that effect my other programs and my os

    Check out this short video on "uninstalling" a Windows update.

    It's pretty basic.

    As far as your concerns regarding how it effects your system in general,
    my guess that it would not be a huge issue, but that's your call.

     

    The question would be, is this an update that has affected other NON APB player's systems, 
    where Microsoft has to release a patch for a "faulty" update...... Or
    is this something LO has to fix, cause GFAC is not working because of this Windows update.

    @MageLO unknown error gfac launcher app 3, error 53 gfac launcher. 

     I have repaired the launcher, gone to files n updated gfac, still same error. 

    Been going back and forth with another user that reached out to me with this same error.

    This fix, worked for them.

     

    Apparently SixxstagesofMajik was able to fix this by uninstalling recent Win 11 updates.

    Yes, Happy New Years to all and a Merry belated Christmas.

     

    Looking forward to a prosperous and populated APB in 2026.

     

    Concerning the unauthorized use of San Paro's municipal vehicles ....

    our "Municipal Vehicle Enforcement" team has been more aggressive

    in halting and preventing these activities, per former Mayor Jane Darren's inception of the City Securities Act.

     

    (this video has been restricted in some countries due to certain vehicle driving regulations)

    Learned the Obeya FBW / Joker Carbine Firerate the hard/correct way.

    Took some time but now with the right muscle-memory it's a very rewarding experience and not unthinkable to run entire missions with just the FBW. Also I think that the learning and presence of mistakes makes it more fun.

     

    I play games for the challenge, which is why I love APB:R. I only complain about the most blatant cheaters out there. I'm sure many people 'cheat' but I like the chess of counteracting.

    But as for cheaters themselves, they are a bunch of pathetic people. Why even use macro's to 'be more effective' and 'cheat' to win, what's the point in that. I genuinely don't understand how that can be fun.

    Honour and skill. All 2300 hours.

    Muscle memory.....

     

    That's what all the good players insisted on back when the FBW Reigned supreme as a secondary.

    Thank God we have the .45 to counter it.
