Re: Things that could improve the Firing Range

Stickied for a bit, folks please feel free to add any suggestions you may have.

  • Make the bots far more realistic in their movements to evade, and with various tactics (e.g., rush and attack in the open versus hug cover), and let them renew their shields and health if we back off to do the same as well. Also, it would be nice to either have only one bot to deal with if that is what you want.

    I was training against the AI bots the other day, and whenever they wanted to run through a door, they get stuck in a running animation because they can't seem to open the door.

    @E9ine_AC 

    Fab post and thoughts I fully agree with the following that you suggested: 

    "Advanced AI: Allow the bots to walk around circular objects in a straight path from point A to point B and change locations. Give them stronger patterns to follow. It would be great to have 2-5 bots roaming through the firing range so we can practice firing at targets while they try to get behind objects. This would require us to time our shots when they come into view.

    Better Aim: The aim of the bots in the firing range currently mimics the old firing range. They have poor aiming and only shoot in bursts, lacking the real feel of a skilled opponent rapidly firing a high-powered weapon with accuracy. Even though there are a lot of bots, they still can't hit you most of the time, even when doing a minimal strafe."

    Maybe add a trident or two to the firing range.

    Thank you for the well written post.

    @Asmodeus566 The Trident would be better if there was a race track in my opinion. There's even a large open space where the water is, maybe we could have platforms there for that.
  • I like the zip lines, it gives us plenty of opportunity to practice shooting as we zip.

    What would be the purpose of having a trident on the firing range? Would it be to practice shooting as a passenger? I could see that. But the firing range is simply too small to support even one trident at the moment. And you would need another player to drive or a bot to drive for you.

    What would be extremely cool is if we could go into any of the season maps to practice on and explore without the feeling of having to engage at a moments notice.

    Halo has a forge mode and a custom games mode that allows you to do that. The Apex customs games mode doesn't allow you to simply explore the map alone. You need to have at least 30 players to launch a custom game. It would be nice if you could launch a custom game on any season map in an EXPLORE MODE and people can join if they want.

    @EA_David The suggestions are all good and dandy.
    However, it would be nice to have macros banned/removed.

    As long as movements are one's hard work it's all good.
    When movements are the result of a macro or some file editing gimmick, then it becomes something players will start to resent and be vocal against. Not the macro, but the movements themselves, as they are what is visible.

    @MrGreenWithAGun They def do offer a few zips in the range to practice on. But, it does not mimic in game zip lines for some. WE buildings being 2 of the ones not in the firing range. Need a boxed off surrounding like inside construction building or streamer building. Since a lot of zips operate within those buildings which are the ones i wish to practice mostly.
  • don't know if you're still checking here, but i wanted to add could you guys please make it so you can turn off the dummy's red outline when viewed through walls? it's hard to practice target acquisition from behind cover when you can already see where the dummies are.

    also, being able to programme a repeating dummy movement would be so powerful. you'd basically be turning the range into the most powerful aim trainer out there.

    Things that would be great additions to firing range;

    Add aim assistance tuning

  • Please add an option to turn off the glow on the dummies. It makes it a little distracting on tracking and if you turn bots to full combat it’s a little annoying to practice with wall hacks.

  • I would love if the Firing Range Dummies highlight/outline had a toggle in the firing range settings. It defeats the purpose reflex training if you can see the dummies through walls!

  • Hi

    Where is my battlepass that i bought in season 7,wasn't playing for a long time recently started playing again but my battlepass coins that you get at every end if season is gone, so i can't renew my battlepass, please help

  • Firing Range:

    Many players use the firing range as a warm up before jumping into the game.

    I think it would be cool to put in the option to allow a 2 player vs 1 player duel. That way a team can train together without worrying about the 2 player team having interface with their tactical and ultimates. My team and I like to train on a 2v1 scenario in the firing range to help increase skill and team synergy and I know other teams that do that as well I feel like this would help when training new players and increase the skill for more of a competitive edge in game.



    Also we would love to see quads come to Apex. Tons of people I talk to want to see quads.



    Thank you for your time

  • Last update bugged the Moving Targets!

    Can't climb on them anymore, which is very annoying as it hinders doing a moving aim warm-up. \

    Hope this gets fixed ASAP
