Not sure if has ever been suggested but why isnt the ultimate Accelerators in the med wheel instead of having to go into your inventory and selecting it. Is there a reason for this?

One of the reason I thought about it is the gold bag also applies to the ultimate Accelerators and in stressful situations (especially as wattson) it's nice to get that ult up quick.

Personally i would like the option to pop it instead of picking it up.That way picking them up and stashing one in your bag for later makes sense. Frustrating to have a lvl 1 bag and no space.... and have to drop ammo, phoenix or your nade's just to pop it. Oh and when you do that in squad mode.. sometimes a random squad member swipes your loot (ffs and their on my team...grrr)

@heme725 I think I’m either really lucky or something. I’ve not had the reset bug either but I did hear about it :PLolz I’d be surprised if someone would do an accelerant if getting shot. ‘Hey I got shot... lemme do my ultimate!’ That’s a bit weird. But I think it’s in reference to that other person’s comment regarding popping the accelerant during a battle. That I do but only if I know I can get away with it and if my ult will help.As gibraltar, lifeline (in early/mid game), wattson, lifeline, caustic if final circle is indoors and bloodhound it’s good to have spare accelerants in your pocket for the end. Wait you can’t see the need for wattson players using it?

@Koochi-Q You're right about gold backpacks speeding up all consumables. I mostly play Gibraltar so I burn through a lot of ultimate accelerants. Though I'm surprised you haven't had any issue with the med wheel since it's a frequent annoyance for me. I forget what causes it but often when I pop an accelerant or grab a new healing item, it changes my default item back to syringe or med pack. Really frustrating having to go through the med wheel to change it back to shield cells or battery.Also your point on healing is ridiculous. Whenever most players take damage they pop a shield cell, shield battery, syringe, or med kit but not an ultimate accelerant. It can be used to aid healing but its ridiculous to consider it a healing item.As Gibraltar I've popped accelerants to win fights quite often so I can see why you'd like this change but most of the time people use them when recovering from a fight or heading to a new one. Unlike the healing items there's rarely any situation that needs an emergency ultimate accelerant and I especially can't see the need for Wattson players.

@Koochi-Q Oh yeah there's nothing more satisfying than making it rain as Gibraltar during the last ring. Your squad indoors and the other outside on the roof. Drop your Ult then aim your gun at the doors for an easy win.Also no I don't see the need for it but I'm not saying she gets no benefit from ultimate accelerants. Her Ult charges quickly on its own and only takes a single accelerant to get it back. When I play her she has her ultimate ready for most fights whether I charge it or not. She benefits from popping them but because she charges her Ult quickly on her own she's never needed them as badly as my fave character.There are situations this change could help but overall I think this change would have little value to most players or even be seen as a detriment.

Ultimate Accelerators should be in med wheel

@Y3ti_Zer0 Terrible idea imo. I for one don’t wanna accidentally pop an accelerator in a stressful situation when I need to heal. No thanks!

@Y3ti_Zer0 This.

I hate having to open my inventory and scroll all the way to the accelerator. As a console player, my speed is limited to the default setting and it is really annoying.

@Y3ti_Zer0 It’s been suggested in beginning of Apex to include this into med wheel. No idea why they haven’t done so yet or even to start of with it...

I also dislike opening bag just to pop it...

@Koochi-Q But ultimate accelerants are not meds! Doesn’t belong there. This is such a non issue. Are you guys popping accelerants all game long? It takes literally a second to go into your inventory and press it on console. How would you feel if you’re in a fight and get behind a corner to quickly heal by pressing up on d-pad and your character start popping an accelerant. It’s not a good idea! Drop it please.

The med wheel also feels kind of clunky on consoles and its the reason I always have the item I'm going to use selected before a fight. Going to my inventory to select an ultimate accelerant actually makes it easier since I don't have to shift back to my ideal healing item after using an accelerant.
This idea would make it more annoying to use them.

@h5mf0vcnd32w Shields aren’t meds as well so what’s your point. As a matter of fact, yes I use multiple accellerants per match.

That second is thus wasted on an unneccesary action. That 1 second could’ve saved your bum.

It’s not a good idea for you so you drop it. If you’re fingers are that shaky that you can’t even pop the right med/shield you want, that’s your business. Seeing as you brought it up I’m figuring it’s happend before. Well I’ve yet to have it happen to me so no, I’m not concerned about selecting the wrong item.

@Koochi-Q Shields is part of your overall player health. What a stupid remark.
Who in their right mind would start popping accelerants in an intense situation to try and save yourself? Would love to see a clutch accelerant play clip on Reddit some day. I’m waiting.
The med wheel is kinda clunky as heme725 mentioned. To make a 6th item fit into that wheel (that has nothing to do with healing) is just begging for annoying moments. They will never add this.
