Suggestion: Unique Glider Perk for Controller Legends
Hi Apex Legends Team, I’d like to suggest a new class perk for Controller Legends: unique visual gliders for each Controller character. The idea is that Controller Legends could get a special gliding animation or device, similar in feeling to Lifeline or Horizon, but balanced as a Controller class perk. It would give them more mobility value without directly giving them combat speed or damage advantages. For example, Caustic could use a gas-powered drone to glide, Wattson could use an electric propulsion device, Rampart could use weapon recoil or mounted tech, and Catalyst could use her ferrofluid in a unique way. These would be cosmetic or movement-focused only, with no damage or extra combat effects. I think this would make Controller Legends more attractive as a class, give them more value when rotating between positions, and also fit very well with the lore and personality of each Legend. Thanks for reading, and keep up the great work! Best regards, MaruixiSuggestion: Increase the Favorite Skin Limit
Hi Apex Legends Team, I’d like to suggest increasing the limit for favorite skins. There are so many great skins in the game now, and with the feature that favorites can rotate from game to game, it feels really good to use different looks more often. However, the current favorite limit feels a bit too restrictive, especially for players who have collected a lot of skins over time. Personally, I don’t really understand why the limit needs to be so low, unless there are technical reasons such as performance, loading issues, or UI limitations. If it is possible, increasing the number of favorite slots would be a great quality-of-life improvement. It would allow players to enjoy more of the cosmetics they already own and make the random favorite rotation feel even better. Thanks for reading! Best regards, Maruixi
Apex suggestions for improvements
Bloodhound - Should have a new Ult OR disable Recon legends to be able to see enemies as red. Pathfinder - Should have his grapple reinstated from the earlier seasons. Lifeline - Should have Doc’s old shield back during revives Old Skins should be available for current Apex Players as well as old Quotes “Bloodhound’s Quote - Open season, may the gods bless you” Competitive integrity feature - Reduce Hardware advantage gaps in Ranked and competitive modes. (Console - 30FPS to 120 FPS. PC can max out at 300FPS)
APEX on Linux was slaughtered; EA will lose money
I understand why the decision to end linux support was made given the issues the game was having with cheating at the time. But overall I disagree with the logic, sure linux does allow a higher level of control for the user which could in theory make things easier for cheaters, but the linux user base was always small, any cheater using linux likely chose to cheat on linux instead of cheat on windows, but regardless of the OS, they would have still cheated. The reality is that Anti-cheat software by its very nature is always playing catch-up with cheaters, and due to the games reliance on trusting inputs from players (at least to a certain degree) it is virtually impossible to eliminate cheating altogether, through technical means. All this leads me to believe that the decision to stop supporting linux was an executive choice. Linux was the smallest user base and EA has never been shy about maximising profits from apex, the added PR buff by claiming to be "combating cheaters" during what was arguably a period of mass player decline also likely played a part. But that's irrelevant now. What I want is to convince you to once again enable linux support. so i'll appeal to what companies care about; money. Linux is currently surging in numbers on steam, and will likely reach an all time high very soon with the launch of the steam machines. There will be a bigger market, apex will lose out on initial momentum just because a toggle is turned off.
New Ranked Update Is Cooked
This update to ranked will be the worst update seen yet. how is it that a squadron based game is changing it so now you can’t play with friends. that’s the whole point and the main reason why i play. this update will show you, apex will lose those casual players that squad with friends because we don’t want to deal with randoms. so what, now we can play together until diamond? have fun until diamond? what this update is doing is denying growth between teammates, denying skill to grow between ranked seasons, and denying happiness to all casual players who have a chosen squad to keep playing the game. please devs, DO BETTER
HUD customization for Ultra Widescreen
It would be excellent if you could add some option to rescale the HUD for Ultra Widescreens. Game looks lovely in ultra wide but not having the HUD in close view is a bit annoying. Would also help streamers and content creators with recording, being able to keep everything in a 16:9 aspect ratio. Please consider this for a patch soon!Joining back games feature
It's a hot day, I queue into apex ranked and I was close to hitting gold 2, I start lagging randomly even though my internet was PERFECT last match, after a while the lag dissapears then suddenly MID FIGHT, I get kicked out of the game, not lagging just to see "Out of sync with server error code" at this point I'm already boiling so I try to log back in and join back JUST TO SEE THAT IM ON A 10 MINUTE MATCH BAN. I can't try join back my ranked game and now I'm waiting 10 minutes and I also have to get around 100 RP to get my rank back.
Please look into my account matchmaking (Cheaters, Smurfs, Broken SBMM)
Hey everyone, I am posting this because I am honestly exhausted with how my matches are going lately. I love playing Apex and I just want to have a fair, competitive experience. Right now, that feels completely impossible. It feels like my account is stuck in the absolute worst matchmaking pool, and I am begging for someone to look into it. Here is what I am dealing with in almost every single session: Cheaters: I am tired of getting tracked perfectly through cover or beamed across the map by people who are very clearly using third party software. Smurfs: Seeing level 20 accounts with 20 bomb and 4k damage badges wiping my squad in seconds is ruining the game. It completely defeats the purpose of skill based matchmaking. Unfair Skill Gaps: I just want to play against people of my own actual skill level. I do not want to be matched with Masters or Apex Predators when I am just trying to have a normal game in my own bracket. The current system makes it impossible to learn, improve, or even just have fun. I am constantly being used as target practice for players who are either way above my skill tier or exploiting the game. I am really hoping a dev or community manager sees this post. Is there any way my account can be checked or flagged so I stop getting thrown into these impossible lobbies? I just want to play against real, legitimate players at my actual skill level. My EA username is cyberwo1fie and my in-game display name is MAYHEM. Thanks for reading.
BALLISTIC REWORK CONCEPT
Hey everyone, it’s my first time posting something like this, but I just felt a strong urge to share. My English isn't the best, so I used a translator—apologies in advance if there are any misunderstandings! /// I’ve been looking at Ballistic for a while now with a sense of despair. It honestly breaks my heart that such a charismatic, badass old man is just rotting away in the meta. Nobody plays him because his current kit feels repetitive and unrewarding. For instance, his whole "Sling weapon" gimmick feels straight-up weak. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how to actually fix him, and I want to share a rework concept. It turns him into an engaging duelist designed specifically to tilt unconfident players, but without relying on artificial RNG or inherently unfair mechanics. /// Passive Ability: "Cold Calculation" /// The core mechanic revolves around a hidden "Focus Zone." A non-visual hitbox buffer with a radius of about 2–2.5 meters is created around Ballistic and each of his teammates (similar to how Bangalore’s passive detection zone works). When an enemy is affected by your tactical or ultimate and shoots at your team, every bullet that enters this "Focus Zone" but misses the player's physical hitbox is counted as a miss. This fills up the enemy's "Overheat Meter." It doesn't last forever—if the enemy stops shooting or dips behind cover, the meter gradually cools down, just like the L-STAR's cooling mechanic. (Technical Note: To prevent server lag, the raycast calculation uses a "lazy" activation method. It only triggers while the debuff is active and only at close-range up to 15–20 meters. The rest of the time, the system is completely asleep.) /// Tactical Ability (Q): "Strict Rule" /// The lock-on mechanic remains similar—a homing smart bullet that deals 15 flat damage—but instead of the old overheat, it applies the "Cold Calculation" meter for 4 seconds (the meter is displayed visually, just like his current tactical). If the enemy starts panic-spraying during a duel and accumulates a total of 0.6 seconds worth of misses into the "Focus Zone" within this window, their EVO shield malfunctions. This triggers a micro-stun with "heavy landing" physics—the character basically catches a dead-slide and instantly loses all momentum. There is a 2-second cooldown on this status, during which the meter cannot be built up. After the cooldown, it resets to zero and is immediately ready to track new misses, provided the 4-second tactical duration hasn't expired. If they keep mindlessly spraying, they’ll stumble again. /// Ultimate Ability (Z): "EVO Resonator" /// This is designed to counter hyper-aggressive teams and hard W-key pushes, forcing enemies to spread out and take honest 1v1 duels. Ballistic activates his suppressor, emitting a pulse that debuffs enemies within its radius (~15–20 meters, roughly the size of a house or a small building) for 25 seconds. This effect only triggers in relation to your team. As long as enemies play carefully and line up their shots, the ult sits quietly in the background. But the moment a specific enemy cracks the armor of any member of your squad, a strict accuracy check begins for that attacker. /// Instead of stacking multiple mechanics, one simple rule applies, scaling based on how brazen the enemy is: /// 1) In a fair solo duel (1v1): If the enemy panics after cracking a shield and misses into the player's "Focus Zone" for a total of 0.3 seconds while trying to finish them off, their EVO shield overheats, and they suffer a full heavy stun (equivalent to Bangalore’s rolling thunder stun). Attempting to frantically swap weapons while the meter is full instantly triggers this effect. /// 2) During a team push (3v1): If the enemy squad decides to coordinate a hard push and focus-fire a single target, that teammate’s "Focus Zone" triggers a high-sensitivity state. The miss-meter accumulation rate for all attackers is doubled. As a result, if they push as a hivemind and hipfire spray, they will catch a heavy stun after just 0.15 seconds of individual misses. /// (Anti-abuse guardrail: If the enemy manages to knock your teammate, the meter does not reset for that attacker if they continue shooting at the remaining survivors, provided their shields are also cracked. However, reviving a knocked teammate will not re-trigger the overdrive multiplier from them.) In my opinion, this version looks way healthier for the game because there's no artificial bullet spread or RNG involved. If a player has great aim and doesn't panic, Ballistic's abilities won't affect them at all. This kit specifically punishes poor tactical decisions, like panic hipfiring or mindlessly death-balling a single target after cracking their armor. It subconsciously forces enemies to split up and take isolated fights rather than blindly pushing as a three-man meat-stack. What do you guys think about this rework?Fix olympus or remove from ranked rotation.
Olympus is great for pubs, probably the best for wildcard, but it doesn't belong in ranked or competitive play. WAY too much open space, not enough poi's, and just unfun in general for ranked. When you hang out in algs chat and 80% of the conversations revolve around getting rid of Olympus and kc in ranked, you have to recognize that there's an issue. Me and my friends literally turn off the game and do something else when Olympus is on rotation. Fix it or get rid of it. This ranked season sucks and doesn't make me want to play the game
Buff Pathfinder
This [edited] needs a dang buff, 30 second grapple cooldown got me looking like a vegetable, cant even move anywhere or run away. This man is a skirmisher, a scout, a movement character, but nah he a whole ooen vegetable to shoot at. Buff this poor robot, and chamge his first upgrade too
Mouse and keyboard compatibility on consoles
In my opinion, it would be very useful to be able to connect a mouse and keyboard to the console to play Apex Legends, but with the added bonus of playing in PC lobbies. This feature would help those who perhaps can't afford a PC capable of running the game at high performance. I hope you'll accept my request, and that others will agree with my opinion.customization
i think you should be able to change what certain characters pets/companions look like, hence bloodhounds crow, artur, depending on the skin should get some sort of outfit that correlates to bloodhounds outfit, like for example plague doctor. the bird can have a tiny wide brimmed leather hat as plague doctor wear, or carry a medical pouch across its body. another example could be lifelines doc should be able to change similar to how gunskins do, or you should be able to add charms. i think for the gunskin idea, it should be things that match the outfit and should be for the secondary color. for example: if you wear Combat Survivalist then docs accent colors (blue and yellow) should change to be the secondary/accent colors and pattern of the outfit lifeline is wearing. another suggestion i have but haven’t given much thought is a solos game mode where you get 2 self revives to make up for the lack of team, and if you die to someone when you still have 2 self revives, you’re allowed to respawn, but if you die again you’re eliminated. ive only been playing the game for a few months because my friend really wanted me to play it with her, so i got it in order for us to play together, so i dont really know if there ever was a solo game mode, but i think it should be atleast where you respawn once, even without a self revive, similar to wildcard but you dont constantly respawn and its limited. you also shouldnt be allowed to pick up others self revives in solos so you cant constantly stay alive, because i feel like that would be a bit unfair. it needs to be fair but also difficult in its own way.Why is the matchmaking so counter intuitive?
Ranked is basically the new pubs unless you can get to diamond. Im having to win 1v3 engagements to keep my team alive yet I immediately get punished given worse teamates and BETTER opponents. What kinda backwards matchmaking is this is there no care for competitive integrity?
