I cant believe the original hemlock isnt back yet. Its been my primary gun since the game came out. I have played consistently since this game came out and have never taken a large break. I would pickup the Hemlock every game. I have 5 million damage in the game and 2.5 million with the Hemlock.
They are keeping the breach because they want a strong mid range rifle? The Hemlock IS and WAS always a strong mid range rifle.
I am truly beyond upset.
Day one player & I am with you on this completely. If they want to make a new gun, great... make a new gun. DO NOT take an original gun that has been in the game since launch that thousands have spent money on skins and then change it completely! I can't believe that even has to be said.
BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL RE-45 & HEMLOCK!!
Until the RE-45 comes back as it was, I have stopped and will never spend a cent in your cosmetic store - period. You have taught me that its pointless if at any time you can completely re-work a gun I love and spent money on to such a degree that I can't even use it anymore let a lone, enjoy the skins I paid for!
This is Apex. Whatever it is you've grown used to, prefer, have come to rely on... forget about it.
R.I.P. Charge Rifle. To name just one that always gets forgotten.
R.I.P. Enery Weapons. Don't know if you use them much, but this season they're ammo-free, and they'll get you killed without you even realizing you're about to be standing in the middle of a firefight with an object in your hands that's a gun one second and a paperweight the next. Complete garbage.
but this season they're ammo-free,
... wat?
I say again... WAT!?
In another big change: we are removing energy ammo from the loot pool. That’s right, energy weapons will now regenerate their ammo. This was done in an effort to create a unique way of playing with energy weapons and to give you more options for how you decide to manage your backpack.
.... WAT!?
I'm okay with the idea in principle. In execution it works like this:
level one extended mag + fight = certain death
level two extended mag + fight = empty gun before your first down
option one: hide until weapon is recharged (at which point your squadmates have either died or won and there's nothing left for you to do either way)
option two: quit
level three extended mag + fight = you'll live, may even get a down or two, but will still run dry before the engagement is over - unless your squadmates are gorillas.
level crazy **bleep** new mega extended mag = just keep shooting, you'll never run out. Basically just free unlimited ammo, and some other perks I don't even remember or care about. So over-powered as to be laughable.
So that's the energy weapon change. Feast or famine. But mostly famine. If I had to guess I'd say that the tuning was done exclusively with master tier players in mind. If you have an aimbot then how much ammo do you really need? The rest of us, on the other hand, either need to be prepared to sit out half to two thirds of every fight, or find new guns. Unfortunately for me the tripletake IS the new gun - the one I switched to when the charge rifle was removed from the game. Now I'm too old, too tired, too impatient to switch again. I've tried the scout, the 30-30, etc. Useless. I've switched to the longbow during seasons where the tripletake went into a care package, and I was willing to tolerate it because it was temporary. These new shenanigans? Here to stay is my guess. Maybe they'll re-tune so a normal player can still use energy guns, but I'm not hopeful.
If you guys (Community Mods) keep deleting my posts... why are you not sending an email explaining why, a warning et cetera like you have always in the past. Or ban me from the forum if you wish... however, stop deleting my posts without explanation.
Respawn devs - took my favorite OG weapon Re-45 and changed it into a completely different weapon after 6 years of being in the game. The comment made from the Dev's "it muddies the design around the R99" - no other Dev's since launch felt that was an issue at all! Then you guys made it into a energy burst ramp up gun, after thousands of ppl bought skins for it as a full auto pistol (the only one of its kind in the game) - Then made all energy guns completely useless with your season 30 changes. What are you guys doing?
After trying them out (volt, TT combo) - completely useless. Energy weapons are now pointless and not viable for this shooter game. This season 30 did nothing for the game except make all energy weapons useless and the junk parts feel like they were simply added to aid in hiding cheaters as they mimic the cheats themselves. Faster reload, anit-recoil, endless mag, et cetera. I'm not saying they were added for that reason... I'm saying it feels like thats what they are for.
Terrible additions to this new season.
