Iron sights are horrible

With some guns using iron sight is worse than not using it , it pretty much makes you blind while using it in badly lit places . Why its so different while shooting inside and outside ? for realism? maybe mute sound after shooting inside the room cuz in real life our ears would be messed up ? 

Why are iron sights made to be this bad , almost unusable ...

    Well maybe the games you play have terrible iron sights but i bet they are atleast functional unlike this .

    And if you are using mozambique equivalent of gun in real life then sure iron sight would be terrible , otherwise they are fine . And the whole point of games is not to bring something thats boring / bad from real life to a video game just like i said bringing deafness would be dumb same with blindness from muzzle flashes . 

  • no like most guns iron sights are terrible that's why humans invented things like red dot sights and scopes. I hunt and i'll take a sight over iron sights any day. If the iron sights were not realistic and super easy to use there would be no reason to have sights in the game. 

    As it is now it is realistic, still more than possible to get kills with out sights, I've landed more than a couple nice headshots with an iron sights longbow but of course I'm going to take any sight over iron sights

  • I played a lot of FPS games and Apex's iron sights are clearly not the worse I have seen, quite the contrary to be honnest, I even use some of them without sights on purpose sometimes the R301 for instance.
    The problem you had on your video is not that the iron sights are bad but that the muzzle flash of the weapons is way too important, it has nothing to do with the sights.

  • Thats the problem that only on iron sight that muzzle flash is ridiculous .
    Not only iron sights obstruct vision area it also has this muzzle flash that makes you blind for probably more than 80% of frames .
    It is way too much as you can see its not even functional on some of the weapons that rely on fast fire rate .
    Ofc the fix would be to make those particles same as if you shooting in well lit area and not iron sight change . Like i said making muzzle flash different not only brings unnecessary realism but it also makes iron sight useless .

    Its not like iron sight will be better than actual scopes but at least it can be usable as intended .

    If they ever make dark map then everyone will see how useless it is .

    Just be better and stop complain, or you get that special scope as fast as possible.

  • Agree! For some reason they think an insane amount of muzzle flash was a good idea? I feel like everything in the game is made to reduce the need of skill and create more of an added variable to mess everyone up lol.
