S20 Crafting is a step backwards

The old crafting system was only good for campers and loot goblins who couldn.t get their loot through fights.

The crafters are perfext at this point, you can0t craft attachments, but they spawn at a higher rate now so you can get the essentials like batteries easily.

i like the new crafting , when you need ammo it drop so much of them and at last now you can't abuse med crafting anymore.

Massive W change for the game.

I love them, quick and easy to use, no more squads huddling around a replicator for 2-3 minutes slowing everything down.

To be fair, I myself never really used them a lot, but now I'm using them all the time because they're just so nice to use

Just my opinion ofc but I must disagree. Crafting has always been a stupid concept, IMO to let bad players get good stuff. I mean, come on; the entire concept of first collecting crafting materials in the same area as the replicator to then run up and get top tier equipment, lacks finess IMO. If crafting was made with dmg dealt as materials would at least make some sense to me, but run around and "collect" is just pointless and boring.

Also, its stupid that whats randomly on crafting rotation should dictate how player plays the game thus re-balancing the entire game based on whats on rotation. Like when old digithreat was on rotation then suddently Bangalore become much weaker since pretty much all enemy squads had at least one digithreat. 

I like the new way. Now crafting isnt OP or dictates how you play the game. Its just there, honestly mostly to get your first battery before you start mid game fighting OR to get banners.

I agree, the crafter should have never made its way to Apex to begin with. In its current state, I would say it is much better. If it has to be there, that is.

Forgive the show of ignorance, but every time I ever tried to use a crafter outside the circle the game wouldn't let me. Is this a thing where you have to throw down a heat shield to make it work? If so, just how abused could that mechanic be? And who cares anyway? It isn't as if that squad can just camp there for the rest of the match. Eventually they have to make a run for it, right? There is no endless supply of heat shields, unless I missed some map update....
