0 weapon balance as in this game is focused on bot catering...there are 3 guns that require pure skill to main in this game...anything else is either semi bot friendly or full on in the game purely for bots.
the shoot and youll hit something category is exactly as its described and yes someone skilled will outplay play the bot most of the time. the problem is that with 3 pro lvl guns and damn near every other gun being a bot gun...or noob friendly is that a team nowadays consists of to spit fire mains and some douche in the back just firing a spread shot sniper...whos * idea was that *. you literally have to be completely trash to miss more than a few shots with a bloody triple take.
and pls remember this is unfortunately a team only game...so i generally have 3 ppl fighting me at the same time...sounds like a balanced game right? 2 clowns just spamming 55 rnds out of a spitfire while d bag 3 is back there getting guarantee dmg with a triple take. meanwhile im sporting a scout with 10 rnds and it takes 7 to get 1 knock..guess what... bot number 2 is STILL spamming that bloody spitfire or devotion or havoc or pushed with a 3 inch reticle peacekeeper...guess what...the pk bot just had his cross hair 1/4 on my shoulder...if this was a scout its a miss...but because this game has 0 weapon balance and even less skill gap that 1/4 accurate shot just pegged me for another 40 dmg.
trash can guns...sure you can kill ppl with these guns...you can kill the bots who have no clue whats going on...but as soon as you run into that bot with the havoc/ devotion/ spitfire/ pk/eva your dead...and guess what your dead purely because respawn has balanced weapons ease of use to favor a lower skill requirement and also caters loot spawn to bots as well
if you wanna try telling me that casual players would enjoy this game if all guns required the same skill set as the longbow/scout/wingman youd be seriously tripping. can you imagine the player decrease respawn would have if every player dropped with purple shields and whatever 2 guns they wanted? i promise you they never wouldve reached 10m downloads cause new fps players would get clapped as soon as the touched dirt.
this is what i mean by 0 balance...the entire game is a spam fest of *. 4kd player drops gets a 2020 and no shield... the guy with 2 kills in 100 games drops next to him with purple shield and a pk...4 kd dies...did he get outplayed? no..his stats dropped because of some rng * and terrible balance between skill and spam
@DontSilenceMe
Lol just curious, is Apex your first BR game ?
It feels like you play totally difference game than us.
Seriously? Havoc/ devotion/ spitfire/ pk/eva is out of my preferred weapons. I don't even consider using them after early game. Yes, the mentioned weapons require less skill, but there are pros and *. It might be easy to use, but none of the mentioned weapons can win against wingman/Longbow outside of hipfire range.

Lol Finally, I got your point. You play on console, from what I read, Spitfire, Devotion, PK, Havoc are common there.
I gonna tell you this, all the mentioned guns are not top tier guns on PC. The top tier weapons include R301, R99, Wingman, Prowler, Longbow in the current meta.
Guns like Spitfire, Devotion are inferior against any guns I list above.

i agree with you. i personally main a scout and run a 301 as a back up...
but my point is that these guns offer a simpler ease of use whilst providing massive damage. and i dont know what math your doing here but all the guns i mentioned will make for an easier kill than a wingman in a base v base scenario.
wingman v havoc at 150 health in the same building? havoc all day...maybe wingman but you sure as hell better land all 4 of those shots...cause 3/4 even though it required more skill only deals ya what 135? meanwhile spray n pray over there has 32 laser beams to shoot at ya with. and in case youre not familiar it takes 9 shots to kill at 150 health and would require 1s to do so as it fights 10 rnds per second WITHOUT the turbo charger
seriously though..just try to imagine this games SKILL GAP if it were nothing but scouts and wingmans and longbows...do you really think this enviroment is something a first time fps player could get a kill in? i dont think so...but he sure as hell can get an early game kill just spraying a spitfire in skull town or panic pressing rt with a peacekeeper...

yup! 100% with you on this one...and yeah...love the scout too- 6 years ago
I've played the game over 100 hours and I've never run into any battles against Bots, so I must be damm lucky, but I have heard them out in the distance when they are just shooting away...
The game isn't about the Bots, it's about playing against 'Real People', so when you factor in playing the game the way it's meant against someone else, skill between the weapons can always change, and why do you suppose that is, because every situation with a real person is never going to be exactly the same.
Every gun at every different situation you encounter can either be easy or difficult depending on the skills of the player you are trying to hit.
But someone said it correctly; ' There are Early Game wepons and Late Game wepons' because someone better be very skilled at killing someone in Purple or Gold with an R45. 😉
