Gibraltar buff are way to much
His shield is seriously OP. If you both have equal shields you won't win the gun fight in close combat, unless the Gibraltar is a really bad shot. You can't aim at center of mass so you're forced int...

He has to ADS to get the gunshield out. The person who ADS'es in CQC generally loses, so the gunshield is not much help there.
And at longer range, even with 50% more effective hp, he will most definitely lose to a small frame legend - he will miss way way more of his shots.
I would say gibby is finally almost competitive, but small frame legends still rule. Saying that he's OP is really ridiculous. His only saving grace is still his ultimate. Without that ultimate he would be utterly useless (e.g., if he had bangalore's ultimate instead).
- @Biochemikas So you’re a hipfirer. Nahhh I can’t do that. ADS (all dead-shot) them is my style! Don’t let those bullets go to waste xD.
I dislike gibby cause I always find him right in front of my face and die... then I see something like 40 dmg done and I’m like ‘WTBARNACLES! I shot his gunshield and armor, what do you mean 40 dmg!’@Koochi-QHipfiring was really hard to get used to after 2k hours of PubG (as my (almost) only FPS in past 2 years), but I simply had to do it to have any chance in CQC in Apex (and I mostly mean the completely-in-your-face situations here, that are very common in Apex). Winning a fight in Apex is all about being as mobile as possible (movement >> aim); ADS comes with a huge cost to mobility, so naturally you can't just ADS your way through any situation and expect to win (that's just how this game is made to be and naturally balance goes around it too).
As for poor extra-fat gibby, you can still melt through his gunshield and 200 hp with a single clip of R99, so it really doesn't matter if he has the shield or not, especially if he's just standing there ADS'ing.
- @Biochemikas I never liked hipfiring. I’m a full ADS’er, BUT I can actually do without, I’m just not comfortable doing it. Only weapons I’m actually comfortable doing it are the spitfire and devotion for obvious reasons.
The game never favors me that well with R-99 even tho I’m relatively good with that weapon. I’ve even had instances where I put an entire clip in that fat jebroni only to die and see that he must’ve had like 30 health left :P
@SethCurry, this is mostly the tactic that I use to counter him if I have space, but more often than not I find him indoors so that option’s out the door
