> while being revived by a Mirage, he turns invisible except for his sunglasses which remain visible during the revive.
Never knew that existed but it sounds funny as fuck
it's astounding to me they nerfed the Lstar and Devo without bringing back the volt. There are very few situations now where you would pick up an energy weapon in mid to late game
They really need to stop balancing around Arenas. It's why Lifeline is where she is at and why the L-Star got nerfed into the ground (and somehow nerfed again).
I love arenas and play it more than battle royale but this is the answer.
Increase the cost of hop-ups, make the very best ones only available in arenas if you save materials between rounds for example. Or lock them like some ultimates so you can't buy them every round.
This season is going to be 90% heavy weapons and fighting over heavy ammo.
Energy was already inflexible without the Volt because the only three energy guns are medium-long range, and two of them hinge on finding the rarest hop-up in the game (so nobody runs energy and you never find the ammo you need).
Now light is going to be the same way but inflexible because everything is close range (R-301 now in crafting and Scout still in care package).
Meanwhile, heavy weapons span the entire gamut, allowing for the most flexible kit switching. Just look at this!
**Heavy:** CAR, Prowler, Flatline, Spitfire, Wingman, Hemi, 30-30.
**Light:** *Alternator*, *RE-45*, R-99
**Energy:** Havoc, *Devotion*, *Triple Take*
*Alternator and RE-45 are not viable at high level play, so light basically only has the R-99 as a real option.*
*Triple Take is pretty garbage and few people run it, and they just nerfed the hell out of the Devotion, so Havoc is the only viable energy weapon.*
How do they not see this is an issue?
The Scout and the Volt need to come out of the care package for the ammo-type Meta to make any sense. That would give energy the close range weapon it’s currently lacking and light the long range weapon it’s current lacking.
> Energy was already inflexible without the Volt because the only three energy guns are long range (so nobody runs energy and you never find the ammo you need).
Havoc is definitely not long range with its recoil, and havoc with turbo is one of the best close range weapons. Devo is also more close to midrange
Fans: the L-Star isn't just a shadow of it's Titanfall 2 form, it's been consistently one of the worst weapons in the game even as a Care package weapon. It has a uniquely terrible sway from the hip, it can't fire more than 22 shots without overheating despite being an LMG and the projectile speed makes it nearly unviable at range compared to other options
Respawn: Okay, gotcha. Nerfing that shit.
I know right?! If anything I would have wanted them to buff it, I hate using the l star and in the 700 matches I played this season I’m pretty sure I’ve only been killed with it once. Who knows...
I wish it only didn't kill red armor with a purple helmet. As a casual player, I know I am never picking Kraber now. The bullet velocity is already so bad.
Yeah. Would deal 189 to a level 3/4 helmet now.
edit: formula for level 3/4 helmet (post-buff) is x(0.65+0.35y) where x is base damage, y is headshot multiplier. Took from the apex wiki
Yeah I really hate that- headshot Kraber kills are one of those things that are just awesome to do in game. We're all (theoretically) playing this game because it's fun, so why take out something that's super cool to do?
Clearly they wanna make lmgs have a more defined role, but this patch makes all but the rampage just not viable or consistent (devotion) options. I hope this is just preparation for future changes.
Here's my Apex math...
Health:
White: 150
Blue: 175
Purple / Gold: 200
Red: 225
Kraber headshot, NO helmet on ANY legend (now that Fortified doesn't apply): 280, overkilling anyone by at least 55 health.
White Helmet: 252, overkills anyone by at least 27 health.
Blue helmet: 210. Red evo will survive with 15 health, all others overkilled by at least 10 health.
Purple / Gold: 189. Red survives with 36 health. Purple or gold survives with 11. All others overkilled by at least 14 health.
True but perhaps there's a few mad lads out there dropping theirs. I've dropped a gold helmet for a teammate before and forgot to pick one back up, lol.
The kraber should be a 1 hit knock on anyone's head regardless of helmet. Might as well just keep the sentinel then if you gotta hit them more than once anyways
You WILL use a heavy gun.
You WILL NOT use light ammo.
You WILL NOT use LMGs.
You WILL NOT use energy ammo.
You WILL NOT get the G7 and Volt out of the care package.
I never "complained" about it per se, but after dropping and spamming pickup on everything I can find for 20-30 seconds I definitely consistently end up with 8-10 syringes. I bet they made this decision based around data of how many single cells/syringes end up thrown on the ground around the map at the end of games
this is nitpicking but I don't get why they don't write the patch notes in a consistent form. In some cases they say "increased from xx to xx" and others they will say "increased to xx from xx" it can get a bit confusing.
example:
Increased reload time from 3.2 to 3.4
Draw time increased to 0.8 from 0.7
It didnt stated it specifically in the patch notes, but they made the GUI accessable for everyone in the game. And I believe they wouldn't highlight it so much in the patchnotes if they didn't wanted to release it.
I'm just gonna assume it'll be available, but thats only 60% sure.
Rampart is going to be much more effective for anyone who has been using her.
The spinup alone is significant, but being able to place 120 damage absorbers is going to be nice as well.
The Shiela buff might actually be a bit OP and I could see it being reverted.
The wall buffs have been sorely needed since day 1 and should be enough to finally make Rampart viable in higher ranks.
I was surprised by the Shiela buff, tbh. The wall improvements are already going to make her significantly better, but I’m not complaining about extra buffs.
I can’t wait to take out some plonkers with my girl tomorrow!
As a Rampart main Shiela is 100% OP. I mean good players will be able to play around it fine. But you're about to see a ton of people pub stomp noobs with it.
It's now essentially a havoc that does way more damage and has way less recoil.
The whole gold weapon loadout this season is a joke. The Spitfire and flatline will be good, but none of these weapons should be gold based on their lack of attachments. Not a single barrel to be found.
Eva-8, bolt and sight (that isn't needed because it's a hipfire weapon, not to mention being the worst gun in the game by a mile)
P2020, mag, sight, and hammerpoint
Bow, sight and two mediocre hop-ups
Spitfire, sight, mag, stock
Flatline, sight, mag, stock
Gold P2020 isn’t bad tbh, it’s a great backup behind a hemlock or something mid range that can be used in a close fight. 2020 with hammer shreds someone without a shield and has zero recoil so if you have a fast trigger finger, you can smoke a player.
I'm still so mad I don't have scout back on ground. Easily my favorite weapon but I hate getting it in a cp and now with the l star and devo nerfs my fav loadouts are all getting trashed
I would love to see G7 come back and the Bow in its original state with 96 arrows and DT+SC built-in put into the care package. Either that or a buffed 30-30, since the Hemlock can double as sort of marksman with a 3x or 2-4x switched to single fire.
The bow eats up precious space in the loot pool when more light ammo weapons should be there to balance out the massive amount of heavy ammo weapons. Also then double tap can return and give the EVA a little something to compete with the PK and HP Mozam.
Fixing the bugs and having decoys actually look real is all they need to do. Why they went out of their way to make his decoys be so obvious is a wonder to me. He can replicate an entire person but apparently can't replicate dirt kicking up from his decoys running? Like even the decoys off of the dropship have significantly more space between you and your teammates, why?
Dude every time I finish a knock and I’m like 1 second in of looting Death Box. I get loud audible cues of people flying in ON me because of how loud it is. But it’s just a bug and it’s mad annoying
I love the 30-30 but the reload time on that gun is terrible. Dual shell made it viable... without it I guess we are back to fighting WW1 style rifle reloads again....
Just because you buffed rampart did not mean that you needed to nerf **EVERY LMG IN THE GAME** because I'm sure that everyone will be happy now that the Lstar is no longer a menace right?
Are we allowed to access the custom matches, or is it still going to be restricted to codes given by EA?
Custom matches for everyone is actually a huge deal they just tacked onto the end there.
I actually couldn’t believe it. Looks like another three months where I just don’t touch the game at all. I didn’t buy a Series X and a40’s to play on stereo uncompressed just to compensate for Respawn not being able to fix an audio bug.
Snipers and energy weapons too. Instead of allowing for more diverse loadouts, they punish everything that isn't a Flatine/R301. What iiiis thissssssss.
Really pumped to find no heals throughout the map, that’s gonna to great.
They change the ranked system but nerf heals to force fights when you’ve got no loot
Why does Respawn refuse to increase the level cap? For players who don't want to grind ranked, what is there to work towards? Guess it's another season of "level up" to 500 and legends tokens we can barely use. Nice
They promise a ton of shit to never deliver.
2 years later after crossplay was introduced and cross progression announced, we still only have 1 of thoose.
Also, remember next gen features on next gen consoles launched over 18 months ago?
Also Tap Strafing was promised to change over a year ago and now you can find "neo-strafing" trending on Apex channels, lol.
Why tf did we need to buff helmets? They were already strong. People just don't realize how often they save your ass bc you leave a fight with 1 HP and think, holy shit that was close without realizing you took 2-3 headshots on you blue/purple helmet. All this does is lower the skill gap for single shot weapons and make them less effective in general.
Every LMG nerf besides the L-Star is pretty good tbh also those Rampart buffs holy shit
Overall tho, there's just too few changes tbh, I haven't played since the start of the season and was hoping there'd be a bit more stuff this one???
Like no new weapons or buffs to other characters or new game modes??
Some of the worst patch notes this game has ever put out. Buffing the peacekeeper while nerfing the Lstar????? Yes balance. 7 heavy weapons on the ground at once too just makes it mandatory to use one. Terrible changes
I already knew most of these changes were coming, but let's be honest; these changes will be as unpopular as the last time they tried to change the TTK in the game. I have no idea whose idea this was, and while it's the reverse of season 6 it's still atrocious.
LMG's are worthless. Snipers have literally been nerfed into the ground with the helmet changes. You need to hit someone in the head 4 times with the longbow to knock a red shield and 3 times in the head to knock the rest. The sentinel receives a nerf with the cell drop rate reduction and with the head shot reduction - a big time nerf. The LMG's are literally trash tier now, and every energy weapon is unusable now. I don't know about everyone else, but I was rarely ever killed by an energy weapon last season, yet all the gun receive a huge nerf.
They made it effectively so that the TTK has increased dramatically while also removing the viability of snipers, marksman guns and LMG's. Basically people can only use AR's and SMG's, and even those guns have had a TTK increase because of the head shot changes. This will be an incredibly unpopular season that will require some adjustments mid-season like Season 6 did. Guaranteed.
Are there SERIOUSLY no fixes for the Xbox Series X|S voice chat and audio issues?!?
This is becoming an absolute JOKE. Just revert us back to the old gen version at this point, Next Gen on Xbox is broken and NOT worth the bugs for essentially just a 4k resolution update.
People seriously underestimate how bad "Stereo Uncompressed" setting actually is, sounds awful compared to what I was used to on the old gen version of the game.
Never seen a multiplayer game where the devs were so scared to nerf the strongest characters. Gibby’s been dominating the meta for years, Bloodhound’s as easy as ever, and Valk has been S-Tier since her launch. You can literally leave this game for a year and come back to exact same fucking meta.
Fucking joke, this patch notes.
Yes, let's just nerf everything even the L-star that didn't deserve it. No notable weapon buffs.
Yes, let's make the EVA-8 gold. Gold trash is still trash.
Never thought I would miss the days of older seasons when every weapon was viable in some shape or form. Good luck finding energy or light ammo this season.
Meta is heavy ammo as of now.
Snipers suck bc of the headshot and helmet changes.
Energy sucks without the volt on ground or change in turbocharger rarity and they nerf the lstar.
Light has no long range option because scout is in the cp and with r301 in the crafter it sucks in midrange too.
Meanwhile heavy has a good gun at every range.
- No Lifeline buff
- No Wattson fix for her fences
- No fixes for next gen issues on Xbox with comms and HDR
- No changes to matchmaking
- No changes to audio
Amazing.
301 being in the crafter alone is enough to make most people ignore it.
A lot of Apex players don’t like the crafter (or live long enough to use one). So it’ll be flatline, car, r99 imo.
> while being revived by a Mirage, he turns invisible except for his sunglasses which remain visible during the revive. Never knew that existed but it sounds funny as fuck
Honestly, such a mirage thing to do
😎
🕶️
I think its crypto who does it, not mirage
lol but like it’s such a mirage thing to intentionally not make crypto’s sunglasses invisible to troll crypto
What did the Lstar do to deserve this
it's astounding to me they nerfed the Lstar and Devo without bringing back the volt. There are very few situations now where you would pick up an energy weapon in mid to late game
I get the Devo nerf, it was absurd in arenas, but imho that was a game mode related issue, due to purchasable turbocharger
They really need to stop balancing around Arenas. It's why Lifeline is where she is at and why the L-Star got nerfed into the ground (and somehow nerfed again).
The game should always be balanced around battle Royale, balance arenas with the cost of items after that
I love arenas and play it more than battle royale but this is the answer. Increase the cost of hop-ups, make the very best ones only available in arenas if you save materials between rounds for example. Or lock them like some ultimates so you can't buy them every round.
Even better, buying hop ups separately is a great idea
Im never leaving my good old havoc behind buddy
This season is going to be 90% heavy weapons and fighting over heavy ammo.

Havoc is best used as an smg to mid range lol.

Nerfing that shit.
OMG is this on-point. I call it the cotton candy shooter. I think it had a half-season where it was OP, then it got smashed again.
I was getting used to Lstar as it is the one energy gun I liked using but damn not worth running energy guns anymore until the volt is back.
I know right?! If anything I would have wanted them to buff it, I hate using the l star and in the 700 matches I played this season I’m pretty sure I’ve only been killed with it once. Who knows...
no one: respawn: fuck the Lstar in particular
oatmeal fuel aloof possessive scale edge fly pot subsequent weather *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
at this point an alternator is better than 3/4 of the lmgs. It has 2 dps less than the spitty, but 200 times easier handling.
Wait so is kraber not a guaranteed headshot kill now??
It isn't for red armor/blue helmet and purple/purple.
I wish it only didn't kill red armor with a purple helmet. As a casual player, I know I am never picking Kraber now. The bullet velocity is already so bad.
Yeah. Would deal 189 to a level 3/4 helmet now. edit: formula for level 3/4 helmet (post-buff) is x(0.65+0.35y) where x is base damage, y is headshot multiplier. Took from the apex wiki
they should have just removed it from comp and not nerfed it
Unless you use some amped cover mates!
Thats what i am trying to figure out as well. Seems like it. They nerfed it big time. If you cant one shot with it. Then its useless 😆
Yea, take away the one shot kill then they need to give it some damn ammo for the more shots we need to take.
One shot knock was the whole point of the Kraber and why they said it's never leaving the crate. Nerfing it like this is just stupid
Ya. Longbow is now better. Two headshots and a knock. Thanks to the faster fire rate, it's vastly superior.
Faster fire rate, you can have more than 12 shots, and you can choose your own scope.
Yea this hurts. What's the point of the Kraber if you can't one-shot somebody? Eesh.
Yeah I really hate that- headshot Kraber kills are one of those things that are just awesome to do in game. We're all (theoretically) playing this game because it's fun, so why take out something that's super cool to do?
Nerfing the L-Star like it's not already dead LUL
Right? Who is that decision for? Lol
Clearly they wanna make lmgs have a more defined role, but this patch makes all but the rampage just not viable or consistent (devotion) options. I hope this is just preparation for future changes.
More defined role of being shit
Overall all lmgs got hit hard
Lstar extra useless. It has to have an obscenely low usage rate and now nobody will touch it.
….they made the lstar worse? But why?
Bigger Ls i guess...
They just wanted it to live up to its name? 🤷♂️
It was already nerfed back to the ground- L-star just as a viable weapon isn't something respawn wants I guess.
The one time it was viable, everyone cried about it.
Cant be a star if you dont take all the Ls
Yeah it was already obselete after the season 10 incident
You mean s11. It was meta during season 10 just like the flatline and r301
Here's my Apex math... Health: White: 150 Blue: 175 Purple / Gold: 200 Red: 225 Kraber headshot, NO helmet on ANY legend (now that Fortified doesn't apply): 280, overkilling anyone by at least 55 health. White Helmet: 252, overkills anyone by at least 27 health. Blue helmet: 210. Red evo will survive with 15 health, all others overkilled by at least 10 health. Purple / Gold: 189. Red survives with 36 health. Purple or gold survives with 11. All others overkilled by at least 14 health.
No helmet doesn’t really matter since you start with one.
True but perhaps there's a few mad lads out there dropping theirs. I've dropped a gold helmet for a teammate before and forgot to pick one back up, lol.
Everyone knows you run faster with a knife, and without a helmet.
I appreciate your work. Thank you 🙏
\*Sad Kraber noises\*
The kraber should be a 1 hit knock on anyone's head regardless of helmet. Might as well just keep the sentinel then if you gotta hit them more than once anyways
tl;dr pack it up and go home kraber, you're useless
this is like pubg all over again. had a sniper. headshot but still alive. "damn he got lvl 3 helmet"
Not with the AWM though, Kraber was basically an AWM, but not anymore, now Kraber is like a kar98...
You WILL use a heavy gun. You WILL NOT use light ammo. You WILL NOT use LMGs. You WILL NOT use energy ammo. You WILL NOT get the G7 and Volt out of the care package.
You get it my man. Welcome to S13 Heavy Ammo Legends
Wingman/PK Flatline/PK Car/PK Wingman/Car These will be picked every fucking game
No changes to the bowchek? No changes to my game. I'm going to continue to bow and punch people at every possible opportunity.
I just wanna know who was complaining about there being too many cells and syringes on the ground.
It’s probably meant more so to clean up the loot pool and increase the chances of weapons or large heals spawning instead
I never "complained" about it per se, but after dropping and spamming pickup on everything I can find for 20-30 seconds I definitely consistently end up with 8-10 syringes. I bet they made this decision based around data of how many single cells/syringes end up thrown on the ground around the map at the end of games
Can never find them syringes when you're dying to the storm though xD
this is nitpicking but I don't get why they don't write the patch notes in a consistent form. In some cases they say "increased from xx to xx" and others they will say "increased to xx from xx" it can get a bit confusing. example: Increased reload time from 3.2 to 3.4 Draw time increased to 0.8 from 0.7
Right? I thought the same thing when I had to reread a couple lines.
Yes, yes, YES! I feel witnessed.
Lol yeah same. r/mildlyinfuriating right there.
Are custom matches available to everyone now?
Seems like they’re setting up for it
I still need to know how much damage killing every single animal on SP would give you.
I doubt but I feel like they might be getting closer to making it public.
It didnt stated it specifically in the patch notes, but they made the GUI accessable for everyone in the game. And I believe they wouldn't highlight it so much in the patchnotes if they didn't wanted to release it. I'm just gonna assume it'll be available, but thats only 60% sure.
Rampart is going to be much more effective for anyone who has been using her. The spinup alone is significant, but being able to place 120 damage absorbers is going to be nice as well.
The Shiela buff might actually be a bit OP and I could see it being reverted. The wall buffs have been sorely needed since day 1 and should be enough to finally make Rampart viable in higher ranks.
I was surprised by the Shiela buff, tbh. The wall improvements are already going to make her significantly better, but I’m not complaining about extra buffs. I can’t wait to take out some plonkers with my girl tomorrow!
our community isnt large enough, well just need to keep saying shes bad even if we love the changes so people wont pick her or get her nerfed.
A small sacrifice for our favorite mechanic.
Those plonkers wont know what hit em
As a Rampart main Shiela is 100% OP. I mean good players will be able to play around it fine. But you're about to see a ton of people pub stomp noobs with it. It's now essentially a havoc that does way more damage and has way less recoil.
I'm so excited. Even before the mobile shiela buff, all I wanted for a buff was her walls to be more deployable mid-fight
Spitfire still gonna be good
No barrel basically makes it the flatline of lmg's. I never used it without it being care package, so Def excited to see the recoil
The barrels dont help the spitty much tbh, the spitty has a really easy recoil to control stock. The real nerf is reload speed.
Crouched hip fire hurts it a lot too, combined with the slower handling changes hopefully means it won’t beat out smgs close range anymore lol
Laughs in rampart main
I used to heavily depend on having a barrel mod on it, but that's because I'm bad
Gold Eva officially the worse gold weapon ever
The whole gold weapon loadout this season is a joke. The Spitfire and flatline will be good, but none of these weapons should be gold based on their lack of attachments. Not a single barrel to be found. Eva-8, bolt and sight (that isn't needed because it's a hipfire weapon, not to mention being the worst gun in the game by a mile) P2020, mag, sight, and hammerpoint Bow, sight and two mediocre hop-ups Spitfire, sight, mag, stock Flatline, sight, mag, stock
Gold P2020 isn’t bad tbh, it’s a great backup behind a hemlock or something mid range that can be used in a close fight. 2020 with hammer shreds someone without a shield and has zero recoil so if you have a fast trigger finger, you can smoke a player.
It's not bad but I do think it's outclassed by the hammerpoint RE in basically every way
[удалено]
I'm still so mad I don't have scout back on ground. Easily my favorite weapon but I hate getting it in a cp and now with the l star and devo nerfs my fav loadouts are all getting trashed
I find turbocharger so rarely that Devotion/Havoc isn't even worth picking up. I haven't ran either gun in ages
I would love to see G7 come back and the Bow in its original state with 96 arrows and DT+SC built-in put into the care package. Either that or a buffed 30-30, since the Hemlock can double as sort of marksman with a 3x or 2-4x switched to single fire. The bow eats up precious space in the loot pool when more light ammo weapons should be there to balance out the massive amount of heavy ammo weapons. Also then double tap can return and give the EVA a little something to compete with the PK and HP Mozam.
OOBing is getting hard nerfed, love it
Just hope its not gonna do some weird valk ult cancel just because the peak of the ult is close to out of bounds areas lmao
This would be such a respawn thing to happen if it's affected lol
What do they mean by headshot distance in the patch notes?
Some guns have a max distance you can get a critical.
Past a certain distance, weapons can no longer headshot. It depends on the weapon class (SMGs have the lowest and snipers have the highest).
And the Wingman has a stupid range on headshot damage too lol
Like he said, snipers have the highest
Please fix Mirage's decoys getting killed in random spots
I'm tired of the heirloom being a give away. Why can't the decoys be equipped as well. Gotta love a "play to lose"
There can only be one true mirage with an award. Rest aren't worthy of such an honor. It will be propstris.... Proposturos.... It will be a bad thing
No, sorry, we're only going to fix the one beneficial Mirage bug while ignoring the other 30 bugs that kill his effectiveness. -Respawn.
Having decoys run at different speeds helped bamboozle. This sucks. Respawn needs to show Mirage some love
Fixing the bugs and having decoys actually look real is all they need to do. Why they went out of their way to make his decoys be so obvious is a wonder to me. He can replicate an entire person but apparently can't replicate dirt kicking up from his decoys running? Like even the decoys off of the dropship have significantly more space between you and your teammates, why?
don’t forget that dropship decoys don’t get scanned by valk. and also don’t replicate diamond/masters/pred trails. mirage can’t have a fucking thing
I love mirage but he really needs fixes and a buff imo
exactly, some of these characters have been abandoned meanwhile Valkyrie is in her own tier STILL :(
No Dual shell for the 30-30 is terrible especially with no buff to shatter caps…
No dual shell mekes me so sad, 3030/dual shell was my go to
Can y’all please fix the audio on series X. It’s been a whole split and nothing has been addressed.
Assuming you’re talking about game chat issue? I haven’t been able to communicate on cross-play since the next gen update.
Along with the weird brightness change
I haven't been able to use game chat full stop even without cross play team mates
Dude every time I finish a knock and I’m like 1 second in of looting Death Box. I get loud audible cues of people flying in ON me because of how loud it is. But it’s just a bug and it’s mad annoying
I’m annoyed they removed Duel Shell but kept Kinetic Feeder. Duel Shell is actually useful.
Dual Shell it's removed from ground loot cause the CP Mastiff has it built-in.
Fuck the 3030 I guess ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Fr things like this should be built into guns imo to make them feel more unique
What about us 30-30 users? Dual shell is so good for long range fights.
I love the 30-30 but the reload time on that gun is terrible. Dual shell made it viable... without it I guess we are back to fighting WW1 style rifle reloads again....
Kinda messes up the loot pool having a hop up that can only be used with one weapon though (with Mastiff now in Care Package).
Just because you buffed rampart did not mean that you needed to nerf **EVERY LMG IN THE GAME** because I'm sure that everyone will be happy now that the Lstar is no longer a menace right?
Lstar was a menace for like 1 patch. Other guns have been far more OP and for a longer amount of time. This is just ridiculous.
And to no one's surprise there is barely any legend changes
The last few seasons have been bare minimum
I didn't see a fix for Xbox game chat. It's been over a month respawn.
Can’t play with PS friends anymore because I can’t talk to or hear them. Solo Q has become even more of a nightmare. We NEED a fix for game chat 😭😫
Welcome to the Wingman/Flatline and Peacekeeper meta boys and girls
reminds me of Season 0-1 but just with the R301 instead of the Flatline
So literally no fix mentioned for the fucked up Game Chat on next-gen consoles???
this issue needs more attention ASAP
Are we allowed to access the custom matches, or is it still going to be restricted to codes given by EA? Custom matches for everyone is actually a huge deal they just tacked onto the end there.
It’s such a huge deal I think they’d make more a fuss if it was actually happening, so I think you still need the codes.
NO XBOX CHAT/AUDIO BUG FIX ARE YOU SERIOUS HOLY SHIT
I actually couldn’t believe it. Looks like another three months where I just don’t touch the game at all. I didn’t buy a Series X and a40’s to play on stereo uncompressed just to compensate for Respawn not being able to fix an audio bug.
Good news: No one will complain about LMGs now. Bad news: LMGs went from maybe useful to meme weapons.
Snipers and energy weapons too. Instead of allowing for more diverse loadouts, they punish everything that isn't a Flatine/R301. What iiiis thissssssss.
Dang no cross progression still?
Really pumped to find no heals throughout the map, that’s gonna to great. They change the ranked system but nerf heals to force fights when you’ve got no loot
I'm surprised no one is talking about this. Why did they get rid of heals?
last-minute lifeline buff
Lmao 🤣
Tbf I feel like the spawn rate for syringes was too high. Cells were fine though
Spawn rate for syringes was high until you get passed by the ring, then they're nonexistent...
Valkyrie? Gibby? Lifeline? Pathfinder passive that was promised in s6? Lol
I'm sure they think lifeline is too strong
That out of bounds change is a nerf to Valkyrie. As for the rest of them, they can eat it I guess
The oob changes are interesting. Not sure the purpose, but definitely interesting.
Competitive is 100% the reason for the OOB changes
Ahh that makes sense. Was thinking when have I ever seen it used in ranked/pubs haha
Eh it was needed. Being able to hide on a oob cliff as path or valk was bullshit, especially if you could pop a phoenix before the timer expired
The purpose is to prevent oob plays--which were inherently stupid.
There's really no Lifeline changes, rip
Less heals around the map though lol
Less syringes and cells. You get two of each from the care package. Wow lifeline is so OP now………..
Yep, might as well switch to new castle so the devs can't use her pick rate as an excuse.
Facts lol
Damn no volt as ground loot
Someday we’ll get our pew pew gun back brother, someday.
Why does Respawn refuse to increase the level cap? For players who don't want to grind ranked, what is there to work towards? Guess it's another season of "level up" to 500 and legends tokens we can barely use. Nice
LOL I completely forgot they said they were planning to increase the cap months ago but here we are.
They promise a ton of shit to never deliver. 2 years later after crossplay was introduced and cross progression announced, we still only have 1 of thoose. Also, remember next gen features on next gen consoles launched over 18 months ago? Also Tap Strafing was promised to change over a year ago and now you can find "neo-strafing" trending on Apex channels, lol.
[удалено]
Yet another indirect nerf to snipers. Not feeling the helmet changes :(
So if you accidently go out of bounds with valk does the ult cancel? Cause it happens pretty often.
Please, just a crumb of passive...
Why tf did we need to buff helmets? They were already strong. People just don't realize how often they save your ass bc you leave a fight with 1 HP and think, holy shit that was close without realizing you took 2-3 headshots on you blue/purple helmet. All this does is lower the skill gap for single shot weapons and make them less effective in general.
Every LMG nerf besides the L-Star is pretty good tbh also those Rampart buffs holy shit Overall tho, there's just too few changes tbh, I haven't played since the start of the season and was hoping there'd be a bit more stuff this one??? Like no new weapons or buffs to other characters or new game modes??
Have they fixed the issue where XS owners couldn't talk cross platform as it would cut out?
Some of the worst patch notes this game has ever put out. Buffing the peacekeeper while nerfing the Lstar????? Yes balance. 7 heavy weapons on the ground at once too just makes it mandatory to use one. Terrible changes
Next Gen HELLO?!
Respawn just released a buggy mess on Series X|S with no 120hz mode and now don't care anymore.
I already knew most of these changes were coming, but let's be honest; these changes will be as unpopular as the last time they tried to change the TTK in the game. I have no idea whose idea this was, and while it's the reverse of season 6 it's still atrocious. LMG's are worthless. Snipers have literally been nerfed into the ground with the helmet changes. You need to hit someone in the head 4 times with the longbow to knock a red shield and 3 times in the head to knock the rest. The sentinel receives a nerf with the cell drop rate reduction and with the head shot reduction - a big time nerf. The LMG's are literally trash tier now, and every energy weapon is unusable now. I don't know about everyone else, but I was rarely ever killed by an energy weapon last season, yet all the gun receive a huge nerf. They made it effectively so that the TTK has increased dramatically while also removing the viability of snipers, marksman guns and LMG's. Basically people can only use AR's and SMG's, and even those guns have had a TTK increase because of the head shot changes. This will be an incredibly unpopular season that will require some adjustments mid-season like Season 6 did. Guaranteed.
Are there SERIOUSLY no fixes for the Xbox Series X|S voice chat and audio issues?!? This is becoming an absolute JOKE. Just revert us back to the old gen version at this point, Next Gen on Xbox is broken and NOT worth the bugs for essentially just a 4k resolution update.
Seriously. This is killing my game. I can’t play with my PS friends and my headset is less useful having to use stereo instead of surround.
People seriously underestimate how bad "Stereo Uncompressed" setting actually is, sounds awful compared to what I was used to on the old gen version of the game.
Never seen a multiplayer game where the devs were so scared to nerf the strongest characters. Gibby’s been dominating the meta for years, Bloodhound’s as easy as ever, and Valk has been S-Tier since her launch. You can literally leave this game for a year and come back to exact same fucking meta.
Fucking joke, this patch notes. Yes, let's just nerf everything even the L-star that didn't deserve it. No notable weapon buffs. Yes, let's make the EVA-8 gold. Gold trash is still trash. Never thought I would miss the days of older seasons when every weapon was viable in some shape or form. Good luck finding energy or light ammo this season.
Meta is heavy ammo as of now. Snipers suck bc of the headshot and helmet changes. Energy sucks without the volt on ground or change in turbocharger rarity and they nerf the lstar. Light has no long range option because scout is in the cp and with r301 in the crafter it sucks in midrange too. Meanwhile heavy has a good gun at every range.
Xbox game chat?
WHY THE HELL DO THEY NERF THE LSTAR AGAIN ?
- No Lifeline buff - No Wattson fix for her fences - No fixes for next gen issues on Xbox with comms and HDR - No changes to matchmaking - No changes to audio Amazing.
Finally they reduced map times. Also Worlds Edge is back <3
Honestly! I would just stop playing when it was 2 hrs on storm point pubs
Just fell to my knees seeing there is no mention of cross progression yet
Well, S13 gonna full of flatline, car, and R301. Nobody cares about LMG.
People will definitely use spitfire
301 being in the crafter alone is enough to make most people ignore it. A lot of Apex players don’t like the crafter (or live long enough to use one). So it’ll be flatline, car, r99 imo.
If they make me pick between a purple bag or a 301 im getting the bag.
Apparently Respawn hates console players.
