Forum Discussion
@Asmodeus566 I'm not making any claims, I'm just sating my first hand experience.
I've played this game since season 1. Took a long break. Came back.
I know how the game works when it's working right.
I'm getting downed within half a second, fullshields and health from a Spitfire gun;
I've emptied a whole spitfire magazine into someone's back and they run off. I then empty another half a magazine into their back as they're running off and they do not get downed.
Their shields barely shatter.
I'm getting shot feedback on each hit.
You can't tell me that is normal. I know for a fact what is normal. That's not how the game was working beginning of season. Wasn't how it was working in other seasons. Maybe at points. But you cannot deny that that is my experience.
I was good hundreds of kills ahead of my deaths, within 3 days of playing (for only a couple hours at a time), my deaths have surpassed my kills.
I have a positive kd each season (maybe barring 1 or two I don't know)
I average 60-80 wins per season.
My wins are currently on 24.
Win lose draw I don't care (I do), but if when I shoot people they take the same time/dmg to kill as do I (all other factors equal) then I have no complaints (beyond MM (; ).
But this is not the case. You know it.
You stand then and head on hit someone with a whole spitfire mag, enemy does not even move laterally. You drill them with every shot. Then "boom boom" 2 shots and you're downed in less than half a second.
Even with the same gun. That is the experience. This isn't about "take a break", that won't change anything.
I'm not making any claims about this or that, I'm just stating the cold facts of my experience.
And this is with 12-40ms connection and no packet loss.
Again, not making any claims about whatever, just detailing my experience. Others too are having this experience.

@1ronKeys There's either a connection issue, server issue or game version issue. I've not had the issues you've had once this season and I've played on local NA 25 ping and EU 125 ping. You've mentioned you are on PS4. I am on PS5. This season they added the upgraded version for next gen consoles. Perhaps that's why there's an issue. The other guy on this forum complaining the most is on switch. From what I've seen of gameplay on that the difference in frames is crazy and can explain a lot of the issues. Now let's apply that to your game. PS4 maxes out somewhere in the 40s for frames. If more of the playerbase is on 120 frames perhaps that's part of the issue.
- @hayhor so I was wondering this too. Or similar.
Because obviously you probablt won't see every shot. But I'm literally seeing two bullets. Downed. So that could make sense with frame rate perhaps.
However the issue that would still remain is enemies in situations where I'm not being shot at, and it's taking that long to down. So I can say it's taking 3 seconds to down an opponent with shots landing. So that doesn't seem right.
It's just unplayable. No other kind of lag issues or anything. You just get downed instantly. All the time. I'm literally struggling to get any kind of knocks. Even in cases I'm getting up to 1000 damage. And even getting the damage is difficult if you get in an actual fight. It's down and out. With immediacy.
Is the game unsynced or something? Is that something that could happen?@1ronKeysYeah I dunno what is happening in those moments. Desyncing can definately happen. For anyone this is happening to I'd give this advice: Turn performance display on, record the moments this happens and report them under the bug report section with video.
There must be a hell of a lot of frustrated Apex players if that's all it is lol.1ronkeys I pretty much agree with your comments regarding the perceived damage you can inflict on an enemy pales in comparison to what an enemy can inflict with little to no effort as I too have faced the same experience on many occasion. I've encountered plenty of scenarios where I've been downed in a split second by 2-3 shots of an AR by my count but when reading through the stats it would show well over 15-20 shots.Cheating is rife in the game every Tom,* & Harry knows that but aside from that the game is buckling at the seams with bugs & various performance issues largely because it's still operating on the Unreal 4 engine,an engine well over 10+ years old when many other games have moved on to the Unreal 5 engine.Also Apex is still run on low tick 20hz servers which is responsible for the input lag & hit box issues which is prevalent in the game, I can only speak as a console player on both the PS5 & XBOX Series X & the game just feels like a laggy mess with frame rate issues regardless of playing either on 60hz or 120hz.
And is EA laying off all those play testers actually going to improve gameplay in Apex going forward in all honesty absolutely not.
