Patch 1.1.1 Feedback
Hi!
I think the 1.1.1 was a really needed update.
The changes will surely change some situations and weapons choices.
Legends:
Our boys finally received some buffs but is it enough ?
Gibby and caustic both shine at short range - close quarters fights.
These buffs made they even stronger in these type of combat but don't benefit much on there weakness.
When caustic and Gibby engage in mid-long range combat they still struggle to survive if there is no way to engage on the enemy.
The Fortified perk is a really strong buff but doesn't solve the issue they face.
The way Apex is made don't really make they fit in the game as the map doesn't really provide short range combat.
Apex is all about mobility and keep moving, so countering there kits are not that hard.
The Gas Damage per tick increase feels just right and makes caustic really scary.
In the late-game is this a killer not only in combat but is now also a real danger when you are downed.
I think caustic really comes here out as a winner in this patch but feels still relatively underpowered.
Weapons
With the long range weapons buffed and brawl weapons nerfed will we maybe see a shift in the weapon meta.
The wingman feels less forgiving with less ammo make it more balanced and rewards you only if you can land your shots.
the snipers have reduced sway and should feel more accurate but the G7 Scout just feels awkward to use.
A bit slower fire rate for a bit more damage could solve this issue.
The updated havoc feels much better in close combat and is feels stronger now in the early game with the increased mag.
It's more viable now even without turbo charger and is my go to weapon now with Gibraltar.
I haven't tried to select fire yet, but I'm finally ready to give it a try 🤒
As for the golden R301 and havoc.
I wish they chose the new scope to be the "2x HCOG" instead of the "1x-2x variable holo site".
But that just personal preference.
Overall a good and needed balancing update.
I'm curious if the weapon meta will finally change a bit.
Zeelmaekers.
