Fighting Snipers

Snipers has been a thing in apex since its birth but if the map promotes it, a new legend that can calculate bullet drop promotes it with an 8x aim assist, a kraber in round 1, and a -46 RP entry cost hence people tend to play cautiously which means snipers.

My complaints are not about how to deal with snipers but more of the map lacking covers. Respawn was too busy reviving Skull Town they forgot problematic end circles in these problematic spots. I can say they did a good job with Olympus adding a lot of cover except in the waterfalls area but not address this in KC.

Here’s a prime example since this circle happens in 1/3 of the games.

- Most of the time you would have squads in these X marks. It’s either you fight them at a height disadvantage or get sniped. Even if you have a valk you can’t really go anywhere. 

- Blue circles are just plain open areas which 1/3 of the map.

Now here’s my point, a squad on top of the tower on this POI and another squad on the walls of airbase. Whatever rock you’re own you’ll get sniped with just two angles. Why is this area so barren? Place some houses there.
