Apex Legends has arguably the most disappointing shooting experience

It's just an inadequately long TTK in the game. You literally need a couple of shops to destroy the enemy, because ADAD spam and it is physically impossible to hit the enemy with all the bullets even with a very good aim. We add here also ballistics with a rather slow flight of the bullet, which adds randomness when hitting opponents, because again ADAD spam. And even though you successfully punched the enemy from the first clip, say at 140 hp, he can use the escape ability or go behind cover and while you are pushing him he has already managed to heal.

In this game, it is simply impossible to kill players based on accuracy, reaction. The game does not allow you to just take and kill the player, it wants all shooting to turn into an exchange of damage and healing resources. It does not allow you to make a clutch 1 versus 2 and even more against versus 3, because the TTK is too long, while you take a couple of seconds to disassemble the enemy, your clip will run out and you will have to change to another weapon, and this time and by this time you will already be dead.

This is some kind of MMORPG, not a shooter. Just a complete disappointment. I just don’t understand how you can win shootouts in this game, I don’t understand how to guarantee to kill players here. You just end the game with 1-2k damage and at best 1-2 kills and often zero. It's so stupid. With the same success I can go shoot at targets in the shooting range.

Any tips, hints, I just want to do more kills, I don't want to play a hit and damage simulator.

    @LordloshBang,  well, apparently my aim specifically in apex really s**t. I only play at 60 fps, and even at a lower resolution (the goal is 60 fps in the settings), because of which the picture sometimes drops to 1280x720. It is difficult to track opponents in motion and there is a delay in mouse movement. When the resolution is lowered, the aiming point itself is blurred, and the flash of fire during shooting literally blurs my entire view. I still hit, but apparently not well enough and I don't have any better ways to shoot in such conditions.

    I just DO NOT SEE where I am shooting!

    Any advice on how to play at 60 fps with blurry image? Don't play, huh?

    In a couple of months I will get a video card that can pull Apex at max settings of 144+ fps FullHD. But for now, how do I play?

    dude what no the problem is no * who makes weapons in any world would make their weapons like a musket with 23 rounds. THE MAGAZINE SIZES AND TTK IS WAY TOO SMALL AND WAY TOO SLOW.

    @Aegis_Kleais I feel your pain bro. I'm by no means great at the game but I know for a fact that I'm not THIS bad. Opponents can strafe and dodge bullets no problem, whenever I do I die anyway. Lag is the issue. Lol I'm losing fights against little kids and die super fast and I've basically been gaming my whole life xD. Aside from that I do enjoy the 10% of good games I have. I don't think this would ever be fixed, but one can hope.

    It's the instant gratification from using cheats. You immediately melt enemies instead of really learn how to move/shoot.

  • @Defox11 You summed up perfectly everything I've been saying about this game for a long time. The TTK is WAY too high. This is also why Apex is notorious for third party tactics. Players complained about the lower shields at the beginning of season 6, but then they regularly third party. Why? Because they want to catch enemies with health already knocked off LOL!!! So what's the difference?

    The points about taking a whole clip to crack a shield are spot on too. In a clip, I can get 3-4 kills in Battlefield 4, TitanFall 2, or really most any other shooter. In Apex, it often takes two full clips just to get a knock.

    Speaking of TitanFall 2...I'd highly recommend it. It uses the same weapons basically as Apex, but with a normal TTK. Plenty still playing on PS4 and on PC since they re-released it on Steam this past summer.
