Re: Apex is great but….

@Cheese9Man This is literally why I don't really bother sniping on Apex! My long range knocks just end up getting rez'd, so I just tend to stick with SMG/AR/LMG. Also, I'm bad, so that affects my weapon choice too

    @dSKyNafinchin Used to use the Triple take a lot (pre-carepack) when I want to farm for a 2k badge. LOL!

    Sniping can really annoy the enemy but not really wipe them out. Same here the longest ranged weapon that I'll use is a G7 or an R301.

    @Cheese9Man Wow... Not sure why I've never thought of just using a marksman/sniper to try to get damage badges. I have the 2k badge on Pathy and Octane, but have only been able to come within 25 damage (literally 23 damage away) from getting the 2.5k badge (I think that is the next tier?). I've gotten 3,500+ damage in Arena... but I don't count that, for obvious reasons.

    I'm actually quite fond of the Scout, so I might start trying to focus on that, to try to get higher damage badges. Like you, that's the longest range weapon I'll use. I will sometimes humor myself and pick up a Kraber. That typically just ends up in the hands of whoever killed me while I was trying to use it XD

    @dSKyNafinchin I know but man it is so easy to beam people. Now if I don't have one and shoot at some decent distance I yell at myself-"If that's an lstar he would be dead!"
  • @hayhor I'll definitely have to try it out. I'll have to give it a go with the 2x bruiser though, because I cant hit the broad side of a barn with the 3x for some reason. Did the reduce the recoil in the last couple seasons? I remember it being pretty erratic last time I used it

    @dSKyNafinchin Try bumping your 3X per optic setting up and down by .2 at a time in each direction, and see if it starts to feel better.

    @pandareno1999 I'll definitely go into the Firing Range and mess around with this. My buddies love that scope, but I have yet to find success with it. I appreciate the insight!

    @dSKyNafinchin I can't hit the broad side of a barn with the Ranger. I don't know what it is.  Above suggestion did not provide a fix for me.
