Hey sexers
bangalore
probably gonna drop off in a week or two, but damn
It's time.
> run around doing weeklies > have to do NBR> load into wattson pylon > care package drops> oh look new charge rifle > queue the giggle gun > impossible to find select fire in BR even still, it would be going on the prowler
>>1574644i was carried in a game earlier by an absolutely insane mirage. he dropped 3.8k damage and 17 kills, i had something like 0.8k/5 (because i couldnt keep up with him more than anything). i actually thought he had an aimbot at one point but all his mechanics seemed solid so i think he was just really fucking good and had a lot of experience on mirage
>>1574644>valk nowhere near the topgood, if youre nerfing based on pickrates now then dont you dare touch my flying dyke again respawn
>>1574973I can't control a full auto prowler for shit. The recoil is too hard compared to burst fire
>>1575029I’m that way with the CAR, I’m either a laser with it but usually I’m missing, give me a flatline all day
Got an event pack for opening 25 rift relics and ended up getting the neat alternator skin that I think is the only good thing in the event collection
im going to boot up apex legends and get a win RIGHT NOW
>>1575119Half of these statements are true
>Rev leaps at me>raise wingman and down him with a headshot
>>1575147you were right :(that knife thing is possibly the most obnoxious rift thing theyve added yet
>>1575188>throw knife at enemy>it misses but lands within 20 feet of them>they're now highlighted behind walls for 10 secondsWhenever it's Recon's turn to get an OP season, I bet they'll have something like that. You shoot anywhere in the direction of the enemy and it'll keep them marked for you.
>5 minute shootout where you rack up 2k damage>get pushed and rekt>final summary>teammates both ~100 damageThis has been happening way too much lately
>>1573600pretty sure he died before christmas from catnip overdose
>>1575093its priddy good i suppose.. even for the high bar of alternator skins
Aim assist can't hit you in bloodhound ult
>>1575428proof or cap
>Lifeline teammate gets killed by the ring>it's the first ringI'm never gonna get out of gold, am I?
>>1575454Try it
>>1575684Stack with the babs
>>1575015the invis buffs and the all-upgrades relic drop turn him into an absolute monster that shits out decoys every 3 secondsI barely play him and my first game this season I dropped 3.6k and 11 killsHe's basically an S-tier skirmisher now
>>1573643>>1573848>>1573845you don't need to make a new thread when you hit bump limit. the board is slow enough that you can literally wait till page 11, watch a movie, then make a new thread and link it in the old one. so probably should make it near the end of page 10at least that's how the csgo/cs2 thread has done it. we used to get occasionally get threads deleted for being too early, or for being "generals" which is why the thread is somewhat framed as being "esports discussion", though they seem to have gotten rid of that rule. I think we've had like 3 threads on page 10 during a tournamentnew thread at image limit is finei'm excited for jp time scrims soonTM
Does Mirage's new healing cloak remove any visible health bars on him (like his ult does)?
>>1575911
Am I schizo or did they buff aim assist this most recent patch?Literally getting oneclipped every single game and it's not like I'm bad.
>>1576439>not good enough to realize he's badSkill issue.
>grenade skins>prestige 301 skin>emp grenade>fuse reworkLol
>>1576573yoo when we moving to /vj/
>our crippletoe disconnects or something>me and watto just running about trying not to position like retards>fight this trio on roof by lava siphon>i down one with sent but just about cant finish them off, with the circle moving, so they revive by the skin of their teeth (its practically just us and them at this point already)>chase them around to next circle>beat them with sent + relic EVA equipped (we both had EVA)hehfeels good downing a fuse, zipnig and lifeline team
>>1576573Nade skins are better than fucking stupid stickers and gun charms atleast
>>1576538I've been able to solo Q to masters in difficult seasons, so I don't buy that I'm the worst player in history.There might be some weird EOMM magic bullet shit going on actually, the people who kill me easy are total bots who can barely move or look around properly.
im going to boot up apex legends and get a win RIGHT NOW!!! for real this time!!!!!
>>1577360I've been winning a lot today.
>>1577606i haven't won in a week
>>1577360>>1577606idk if its jsut me, or the game got easier or something.like a combination of bot lobbies and being way better at the game now that 2 or 3 years ago
If I can't hit 4K damage with these busted relic weapons everywhere, I never will
haven't touched this shit since everyone said there was an RCE in itthen i heard no resolution for months and monthswhat's the story?
>>1578095>My first 4k was 2 and half years ago when Vantage came out and all the noobs were on KC at the start of the seasonDoes not feel that long ago, i don't even think i played that well, it was just the G7 scout carrying my ass in a bot lobbyWas like 18 kills and 2 assists once on Worlds edge, just capitalizing on the old fragment shitshow.
>>1578110Im pretty sure there was a resolution after the drama. There definitely isn't
>>1578110There wasn't a resolution. Respawn was banking on the community to memory hole it.Now the game is dying because the lack of support by Respawn now is worse than the lack of support last year.
>teammate's banner makes them look like a real deal motherfucker>they're the first to get knocked and quit
>>1578333>Good people are robots and not human beings with form and feelingsReally makes one think, I bet you don't even try to back em up when they go and fight.
>>1578405> I bet you don't even try to back em up when they go and fight.In my experience, they tend to run off on their own the second they get the guns they want without so much as pinging, run into an enemy squad expecting to wipe them 3v1, and then get knocked in seconds and start raging before we can even get halfway to them
>>1578407for me its>knock 1>crack 2nd>get 2v1d and die>watch them all rez as my teammates jerk off
>>1578407babs didn't know we migrated.thought we all died in /vg/ :(
>>1578333>>1578407Decorating your banner with flashy achievements (unless its pred/20 bomb) is for egotistical kill chasers who think theyre a pro surrounded by noobs
>>1578333youre outing yourself as a lootgoblin who was still opening bins five minutes into the match while your actually competent teammate was chasing engagements
bloodhound is funplay bloodhound
>>1579141A competent teammate communicates and looks at the mini-map
>>1578451If they're all with you and your guys just sucked and couldn't finish the fight, that's one thing.If you ran off on your own to engage in that fight, it doesn't matter if you got 2 knocked and the third to 1hp, that was your fuckup if there's enough time/distance for them to rez and heal up and can now 2v3 your teammates.
>>1579365Especially in this support meta, a knock doesn't mean shit anymore if you aren't ready right then to push
>>1579188I haven't played a single recon character since the all the support/controller buffsFlavor at the month right now is also mirage i guess, and loba too.I actually like to play bloodhound on the launch royale because i used to play him back then and it maximizes nostalgia
>>1579533Hounds good now. The threat vision on scope is great and the ult cuts out all the clutter. Last split i was taking two mastiffs and ultimately for easy wins in the final circle
>>1579365Nah not running off that's just every fight. My teams right there, they could do things to help. They just don't.
>>1579699>ult cuts out all the clutter. Last split i was taking two mastiffsYeh good thing about bloodhound is how hes simple but effective
>>1579721Weak minded enemies also get nervous/scared when they hear the ult go off
I legit believe this game goes to season 50 lol
>event shop reset doesn't offer a new event pack
Fuse rework should give him his original big boom ult and make it do FF
Did they completely forget about ALGS or what?
im going to boot up apex legends and get a win RIGHT NOW!!!!!!third time lucky i hope ;-;
Cheaters almost every game, they aren't super obvious either, they are trying to hide the cheats.
I never noticed how huge the peacekeeper is
>>1583448Perspective is everything ;)
I don't think I've played one match since the update where I didn't have a Loba on my team
>>1583501As if there werent already enough before then
Relic peacekeeper with disruptor rounds next batch?
>>1583597They might as well add relic gold armor so support legends can get full shield back with 1 shield cell
>>1583627They already have relic gold armor pre-installed though?
>>1573845tranoid game
The worst thing about the support buffs is douchebag support legend teammates talking shit while playing the most OP legends the game has ever seen >bro, you did 100 less damage than me, you're fucking trash!Bro, you can turn invisible, teleport, fly, and heal to full in seconds
Any tips on how I can improve? I just started playing Apex and am not very good at it. Every time I play, I can't even kill a single person and will always die early on because everyone is just so good. Are all battle royale like this? They don't put beginners to play with other beginners?
>>1583972matchmaking is shit and theres nothing you can do about it. you just need to get good at aiming and moving. what game are you coming from?
destroyer back at it?https://x.com/ttrebb/status/1880024796378857791
>>1583986I normally play single-player FPS games. Just thought of trying something new. Alright, maybe I'll watch some tutorials on YouTube on aiming and moving.
>>1584075Apex is a lot about being comfortable with every mechanic, I suggest playing the TDM/Control/Gunrun to start with along with some time in the firing range.I wouldn't buy into tutorials on aim, it's mostly bogus.Also this is a aim assist heavy game, if you're comfortable with controller and don't have experience with MNK to lean on I'd just get started on controller.
>>1583972Do the New Player Challenges thing,it will unlock a couple new characters and eventually give you enough tokens to purchase one.Get to level 20 and play ranked.Matchmaking works (slightly) better in ranked, so at lower ranks it's generally easier than pubs.Don't worry about losing. Ranked points are useless anyway.Try to get into fights, preferably as a third party.It will give you some more time to aim etc. if you shoot people who are busy fighting others.Fighting is the only way to get better at fighting.Don't get too attached to loot. You won't keep it after the game anyway.All you really need is a gun and some ammo, then go fight.Fighting and dying is more fun than looting for 5 minutes and then handing over everything to the first squad you come across.Go to options and set Communication Filter to Friends Only.This mutes Voice and Text chat for non-friend players.The ratio of "screaming retards who blame others for everything" to "sane-people-with-good-callouts" is too skewed to the former (it being a free game etc.)Fuck em. Pings are good enough.
>>1584075relative to most other big shooters, apex stands out in two ways: its very mobile, and the ttk is very high.the skill ceiling for movement is pretty high but the floor is virtually nonexistent. this isnt titanfall where you need to know movement techs to have a chance (though of course they help), its more so just that being constantly mobile is a good idea. this isnt valorant (people coming from it or cs or whatever are the reason i bring all this up in the first place) where youre punished for moving while shooting. in a gunfight, always be moving. spam ADAD and crouch if youre up close to someone. shoot while moving for cover.conversely, given the high ttk, you need to be good at tracking people. youre not just clicking on heads and picking up kills, youre keeping your crosshair on something thats moving, often fast and unpredictably. each gun has a recoil pattern, if you want to be really sweaty you can learn these, but having an idea of how to pull against them while still tracking is probably fine.for practicing gunfights, mixtape is good. all of that is just gunfights though. general BR gamesense stuff is also a big factor if you want wins. try to third party others, dont loiter after fights so you dont get third partied, keep an eye on the ring so youre not caught far from the safe zone, dont spend too much time looting (killing is far more efficient), get a feel for the maps - how long does moving between any two given areas take?a lot of it is just sinking hours into the game but id say thats the very general gist of what "gitting gud" entails. the advice other anons have offered is good too. for a first legend to consider maining i think octane is decent. he has an ability to run faster thats kind of babys first movement ability, letting you cover ground/be more agile without needing tech. his jump pad is good team utility too, so by dropping that when you need to cover some ground fast you should still be of value to your team.
>>1584275>and the ttk is very high.To be honest the TTK is not really that high anymore.
>>1584296true. still high relative to something like valo where you generally want to be one-shotting people
i think there must have been an influx of new players lately, or theyve changed matchmaking or something. im suddenly being matched with lots of very new players who are all awestruck by my stats and say either>wow this matchmaking is shit im level 5 and im being matched with people with thousands of killsor>wow youre so good please carry meto both i say im not even that good ive just been playing a long time so my kill count is high ish. my stats arent even that good though, im just being matched with giga newbies. anyone else experiencing something similar or has the algo decided to bully me personally by giving me shitter teammates?
>>1583815and thats a good thing
>>1584304It seems to be fluctuating a lot.
>>1584304The paid jeets have logged on
We fencing We zappingWe trapping
How often do you run into a "toxic teammate"?What do you do?
Where the fuck are the replicators lately? There's so few of them on every map now
>>1586097Hardly ever, since I set my communication filter to Friends Only.Like the only annoying thing they can do is land on the same bin I pinged in advance.Like the worst anyone can do is intentionally not rez/respawn me but then I just leave. It's nice (and probably healthy) to give zero fucks.
