https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Let-Discuss-CRAFTing/m-p/9398003/highlight/true#M101191@asukojo https://www.ea.com/games/apex-legends/news/season-6-crafting"Loot that is on rotation in the Crafting system will not spawn on the ground, meaning if the R301 and Anvil Receiver are on rotation and you want that firepower - finding a Replicator is a surefire way to get it, provided you have the Materials to pay for it. This loot is called out in several places so you’ll always be able to have this information at hand.""Around the map you’ll find plenty of opportunities to collect Materials that you can use to craft new pieces of loot. Certain points of interest around the map will have devices from which you can extract Materials. These might be prominent named places like Capacitor or Epicenter, but they may be smaller towns as well - and they’ll change every match. Opening loot bins will grant you a small amount of Materials as well.""Getting the most out of Crafting requires evaluating the map and rotations throughout the game. Each match we pick different towns where you can find Materials and Replicators, so players who engage with Crafting will be taking new rotations every time they play. Some towns will have more Materials than others, and some might be closer together - making it easier to get the Materials you need to get the loot you want."Thoughts? Anyone?

@pastaclown Not interested in crafting at all. People keep asking for more content but this isnt it.

If we survive as a team, then we will have a good game, otherwise we simply wasting our time !Since Loba get her buff, I honestly just use her ultimate to find stuff, much more simple, quicker and efficient. Agree, this crafting feature is stupid lol, I think they want to reward the nubs that will never get better, the nubs / feeders that never realize that gathering items is not the theme of the game.Crafting only make sense if it is in a PvE mode (co-op) and a long one (not short ones like in season 5 quest).

@pastaclown Animations and procedure are super slow, you will most certainly die if you go for crafting, here is why:When you want to craft something, there are multiple steps:1. Find crafting materials2. Select items from the menu3. Wait for the machine to craft it4. Return to the machine and collect your crafted item5. Every interaction with the machine will cause a visible light blue light which can be seen by enemies6. Crafting machines are all in the openBut please use them... my sweet targets 🙂

@asukojo yeah I really don't understand what how the crafting is supposed to help players when it seems like it adds incentive to running around looking for materials instead of fighting.

Crafting just seems like a side quest to give players a reason not to go on "search and destroy" missions... I mean, I enjoy surviving and looting already, but if it helps other players; That's a good thing. OH! But maybe this will give myself (and others) smaller engagements between fewer teams!? I like that idea.

@asukojo Look at fortnite and Warzone and you can understand why Respawn is doing this.

Will it work in this game? We'll see. I wish you'd get mats for killing instead of looking for objects...

@Koochi-Q it's funny, cause when Apex came out, suddenly all the other BR's like Fortnite were scrambling to implement a respawn system and a ping wheel.
Oh how the mighty fall.

@pastaclown Exactly. All BRs sponge of the success of others. It's just the natural order of the world.

Tho this change from what I've seen hasn't made me happy but I've yet to read the patch notes
