Get this Buster Sword outta the game please

It's fun at first, till you realize how crazy people can abuse this sword. I understand it's a limited time, but the sword being in the field makes the Apex experience unplayable. I'm sticking to pl...

1 week of this LTM and I can safely say that the Sword is the most frustrating aspect of it. It's ridiculous how busted it is, you feel like there's no chance against it. I want it out of the game. 

You say that they want to motivate people to buy the sword, but I don't think they will keep it this way. Otherwise I can already see everyone just running the Sword and that's it. No point picking up any other weapon. 

At least I found the iconic skin for Wattson from the LTM-related first free pack. I guess that is my consolation prize. .

@AcidicSoda44031 you just had to have a shotgun , you outdps sword user pretty easily since they hit you for 60while you hit them for 80-100.
always laugh when a sword user come to me while i have a mastiff.

    @WTF_Huitzo Exactly what I have found. For others- yes dumping your full clips of ammo into a guy blocking with the sword is frustrating and results as death. What you need to do is either pretend to fire all bullets and wait for them to stop and move forward or carry a shotgun as a secondary.

        @WTF_Huitzo I struggle with the activation because it's the same button as devices. I've died a few times due to that lol

        The only time I've found the sword awful to play against is when the opposing team has 2 or 3 of them and are coordinated. In those instances I probably would have died anyway due to being team shot.

    @WTF_Huitzo sorry but no, I hate shotguns due to the seemingly random damage they do. Feels like playing the lottery whenever I shoot with them.

    My reaction times are also garbage. There's no way I am going to win against this stupid Sword.
