Unarmed Spawning is bad

Unarmed spawning is garbage in every game it's in, especially when people can chase each other down as they fly down from spawn. Half the forum is complaining about loot and lack of gun spawns, but if people just spawned with any weapon (Like a garbage pistol) it wouldn't even be half the problem it is.

It wasn't a game design genius that chose to bring people in unarmed in a game that's about gun fighting. It was a poor design choice made to stay loyal to a few movies that stuck in earlier iterations of battle royal games and it's a disappointment to see that you stuck with it too. It's not the part of the formula that makes battle royal games successful and you can easily fix it and be a better game for it.

    Good point and I fully agreed with that. Melee in Apex Legends is totally crap and you do not have chance to fight with enemies with a firearm. P2020 is a very weak weapon. Virtually no one uses it, so it might as well be a starting weapon.

    Just cause its a part of BR doesent mean its good design.

  • 4 options I think could work for this situation.

    1. we leave it as it is, but increase spawn rate of guns at drop a smigin. 1 gun should be in at least every 2 buildings.

    2. Have everyone drop down with a p2020. It's the simplest pistol, not a lot of people use it, and it's not that strong of a gun. Meaning people will be aiming to replace it quickly. So you will still see the scramble to find guns, but it wont be quite as dire.

    3.Give everyone a new, only given on drop pistol. It uses no ammo that can be found, and it has weaker overall stats than other pistols. Would still let people go to town on each other at start, but almost everyone would still rather be scrambling for a better gun, then try and get a kill with the Psh02 - 'pea shooter'

    4. Let each legend spawn with different pistols. Each legend would be given a specific starting pistol, like the p2020 for Lifeline, or the Mozambique for Gibraltar. Key there would be don't let anyone spawn with a wingman (unless it gets nerfed.)

    Your teammate can drop a a weapong for you... most times you can go back and take youre other loot... Respawning is a second chance it shoul'dnt be too easy...
