Re: *Adjusted* Weapons need Crouched Recoil Reduction..

@PretzelnutcakeIt would help Gibraltar Players, and LMG users like me.

I love to shooting LMGs off of bipods with little to no recoil.
It is fun and a major part of all first person shooter.

and remember this recoil reduction will be can be used for all the guns.

Also respawn want to buff defensive play, that why they created Wattson.

Crouched-recoil reduction is another way to change the meta from purely ambushing with smgs.

Crouched-recoil reduction will give players another choice for fighting.

Instead of getting an R99 or Prowler to mow down everyone on the the map,

you would be able to sit tight in your position and defend your position with an LMG,

instead of having to R99 everyone.

This crouched recoil reduction would be sweet with the Havoc and Devotion.

And will give the Devotion a Medium range capability.

    Sounds really fun.  Slower games with Gibraltar using Spitfires from cliffs to outgun people with Longbows.  Wonder why no one has suggested this earlier.

    I think they should allow you to go prone as well.  That fits EVEN BETTER with what has made Apex so popular.  Fast gunfights.

    @AnlbrdWhatever

    I am just tired of mowing people down with a R99.

    Its seems that we do is push with smgs and peacekeepers.

    Sometimes I just want to sit back and load off a LMG from a cliff side.
    And run into a shack to shoot some more out the window...

    Whats wrong with that.

    Sometime i just want to camp, It is a thrill and a challenge.

    Playing defensive is kinda fun.

    I have played over 3500+ games.
    I am rank 415.

    I am a veteran.
    I have put in my time.
    And I know what what this game needs to keep it fun.
    And a little crouched recoil reduction will help with the super aggressive smg, shotgun spamming meta.

    It will give us another way to play this game.

    Because now, I am bored and tired.

    I am tired of rushing people all the time, but as of current its the only way to play this game.

    With in the last week I have migrated back to Battlefield 1 because It have more depth.

    In bf1 I can lance someone from a horse, LMG a 250 round bipod, spam mortars, or shoot flame throwers from a Golden tank and much much more.

    Oh yeah, riding war blip while shooting air planes as they fly then parachuting down to blow up a tank, then Hip fire Hellriegel 4-5 people in a row.. Mmmm mm goodness. Or playing as a russian woman on the side of a mountain sniping, and LMGing, as a tank and squads of men blow up the house I am camping, while I throw cocktails at them as they try to enter my house... good ole fun.

    But for Apex I am tired.

    I want something else to do besides R99 and R301 ing.

    I want to do more than rushing people and third partying.

    Yeah, I want to play defensive.

    @hhnbbfggty66 I mean... the game has multiple guns that could be used for all sorts of fun.

    No one is forcing you to rush, if you see an enemy outside the circle fighting, set up a defense so once they finish, they have to fight you and fight the storm as well.

    You can set up ambushes almost anywhere if you pick defensive or fast paced legends.

    I use to run R-99 and one other light gun for faster games but now I just lay back in the circle, blocking off random doors or small openings with Caustic or Watts.

    The game is only as fun as you make it, if you limit yourself down to only a few things than of course you will get bored fast.

    @iBlockHead Yeah. but a little crouched recoil reduction could help.
    And you are only playing defensive until someone breaks you perimeter and R99-Peacekeeper-Disruptor Alternator you.
    Then its the same old strafe war as always.

    @hhnbbfggty66 If they get hit by gas or the fence, I don't think any gun will save them. I've yet to come across anyone who makes it out alive trying to cross my fences while I'm nearby.

    They both provide the enemy with reduces moment which is all I need to connect a few headshots.

    But I see your point

    @hhnbbfggty66Pick a new legend to play on Apex mate who you would normally NEVER play (One of the defensive ones ideally) and that should freshen things up for you.

    A game like this with 1 mode and 1 map will never compete on novelty with another game where there are many maps and modes and an unlock system for guns. Novelty in that way isn't this kind of games strength. Here it's pretty much just about getting better and enjoying the challenge of that.

    You already can play defensively in Apex, but it isn't made OP because of things like bipods, proning etc etc. If someone wants to set up a strong position and take attacks from people they definitely can, ranked is full of this kind of playing. When it comes down to it though, it only affords them so much advantage, the attacking team still have a chance and I like that.

    [edit] - If you want a challenge to change things up : play Caustic for a while.  He is an area denial character, so in the absence of things that make your shooting better for being static - he's the best to facilitate what you're talking about.  He makes their shooting WORSE in your defensive position 🙂

    @AnlbrdMMMMrrr
    Caustic is a bullet magnet.
    I use wattson and Gibby.
    But crouched recoil reduction would be great...
    Prone would be over kill.
    A Bipod would be great too, but doesnt suit the meta....
    Its up to Respawn.
