Re: Apex Legends: "Escape" Gameplay Trailer discussion

@Cro_Pittt Ash's tactical is like 100 times more better than Wattson's when it comes to stopping people. We'll eventually get some Wattson love at the start of the season or more likely during the collection event as she'll get her heirloom.

    @Cheese9Man Well i seriously hope it's like you said, changing the meta after several seasons would be nice. Do we have any leaks on patch notes?

    @MyName1sNotJohn CAR smg looks definitely op, but i'm not surprised for this, i'm sure the start of the season will be messy lol.

    Quick question: Do we actually need another SMG right now? I dunno I just feel that the gun feels redundant to what we already have right now unlike the Rampage which brought some new gameplay with it.

  • at least it is not cancer as the rampage. once I heard someone popping a thermite i just straight up walk away.

    @Cheese9Man Right now i don't like the removal of jump towers, but i need to play the map to see if this thing will hurt rotations or it's still ok (Valkyrie may become even more important). I didn't expect this map to be 15% bigger than WE though, it surprised me a lot.

    As for another smg, i'd say yes. R99 is not a good gun anymore so if another strong smg comes in the game then i'm all for that.

  • @Cro_Pittt Same here I was surprised as well! It doesn't look that big from the videos. Maybe playable area will be smaller? The guy who designed the map is the same team who made World's Edge. Hoping that they learned A LOT from fragment. lol.

    @Cheese9Man No jump towers is a bit dumb. Especially on a big map. There has to be some way to get launched around.

    @Cro_Pittt I disagree about the 99. It is still pretty strong when kitted. The issue with all smgs is the shotgun meta. Everyone runs shotguns. I rarely see someone with an smg though I like running them myself.
  • @Cheese9Man I think traps could possibly be useful if you place them well, since you can evade to the side if they aren’t placed smart. As for the man cannons I think as long as the audio is ok on them, they are fine, knowing where they are will make anticipating thirds a bit easier perhaps. Jump towers were perhaps a bit less predictable since you could take off in any direction, but the audio was fairly good and you were slowed on landing, so a bad landing put you at a disadvantage. Regardless, a minor buff for defense is ok, but defense legends besides Gibby need internal changes to their kit to help ultimately

    Just finished reading the blog post and got to the part about the wildlife. This is the most "game changing" and controversial aspect of the map either for good or for worse. On the other hand, based from the vlog, they're not as bothersome as expected since you have to really approach Prowlers for them to attack and to destroy some spider eggs for it to hatch.

    Other stuff they added

    - The wildlife will drop gun attachments and ammo

    - The wildlife can't get out of their nests.

    - They're not infinitely spawning unlike the early builds of the map (leaks).

    - Goliaths seem to be removed as well. If you guys didn't know (those who didn't want spoilers), there should have been Goliaths (that monster that BH killed in the Old Ways trailer) in the map where you need to damage it for around 200-300 damage to kill and it can 2 punch down you. Glad they decided to remove them.

    You can farm the wildlife to upgrade your evo shield but they only said that only a portion of the damage will go into your evo shield.

    @Cheese9Man This info makes me feel better about the expanded wildlife. I'll reserve final judgement for after the new season launches, and I get to see how it actually plays. I'm all for the Goliath being removed. As an LTM, it could be pretty fun, but I feel like they would have too much health for BR. I'm not worried about Prowlers/Spiders though, because if I die to one of those jokers, I deserve it, Lmao

    For the evo shield damage, I hope no more than 1/4 of the damage counts toward shields. Not sure how I feel about the damage counting at all, but hopefully it's no more than that

    @Cheese9Man "The wildlife will drop gun attachments"

    Noice, good thing they ain't nerfing Lifeline any further. Are the NPCs also limited by a "guaranteed upgrade" or can they upgrade you white-to-purple?

    @ZigoSid It’s Gibby.

    @CCbathwater LL needs some love on the patch notes. Lol. I’m not sure if the attachments are guaranteed upgrades though. I can say that the ammo they drop is based on your gun just like when you kill someone in the Winter Express LTM. xD

  • I hope my man Fusey is left alone as he's (finally) in a really good place right now.

    The only change I'd make is that he can open explosive holds with the knucklecluster. ATM the moment he's at a slight disadvantage as he's the only legend that cannot use the explosive hold exploit properly (which may or may not exist ... ahem). Either that or Respawn should fix the exploit.
