- CCbathwater3 years agoSeasoned Ace@BigMacAttack8u Well, I missed that part in the original post. Luckily there are no beacons in Control, so I don't really care, but as Kyldenar said: "Why?"
 - @CCbathwater Because defensive legends are the ones that need the information most. It makes them significantly more relevant in algs lobbies. I assume crypto will not be defensive so his free beacon scans can go away.
 - CCbathwater3 years agoSeasoned Ace@hayhor Huh? So they're taking away scanning from recons and giving it to Wattson and Caustic? Makes sense.
 - @CCbathwater Yes that is the way it appears to me.

So Crypto can be even more useless in Pubs because no one ever waits for intel and is just W, W, W, W, W dead....
Ok...

Question is, has Cheese given up on Apex?
 @Kyldenar What do you mean for intel?
@Gabrielmojo26 I believe he's just taking a break from the forum or he's just busy.
- @Cro_Pittt Is the tdm leak right? I saw permanent tdm and permanent rotating ltm options. This would be bigger for me than any legend changes.
 @hayhor Tdm is a real thing i think, the permament rotating ltm is not (still). That's what I understood.
Additional leaks:
- Improvements to the Firing Range (dummies maybe will behave better and more realistically). This is still unconfirmed.
- Confirmed Seer big nerf, it seems on his passive ability.
- New Support class legends: Loba, Gibraltar, Lifeline, Newcastle.
- (huge but not confirmed so bear in mind this) Support legends will be able to craft teammates' banners.
- Assault class will get extra ammo (it could refer to when crafting ammo or the ground loot).
- (still not clear) New Red bins will give you attachments to your weapons if opened by an Assault legend.
- Apparently recon class will still be able to scan beacons but it will work differently compared to the normal zone scan.
@Cro_PitttI'll take tdm.
Is anyone else both excited but scared to death of all this? It's so many changes I fear it breaks the game.- BigMacAttack8u3 years agoSeasoned Ace@CCbathwater No, the defensive class is being renamed the control class, containing the same legends except for Gibby and Newcastle.

@hayhorIt obviously will. And craft this and that... remove the crafter! Holy *@#!!@?+&@, why is this in the game?? Loot cheese with red bins. I'm disappointed though, where's the mention of more npc loot cheesing? 🤪 Thank Odin for Control where all this nonsense isn't a thing.
Come to Apex and craft something. While you're crafting, 15 squads have died. Have fun.
 I don't know where this was found:
LL looking kinda funky.

I also feel conflicted about so much change. On the one hand, overall the game has felt the most balanced as it has ever been. On the other hand, it also feels stale. We've got no choice in the matter. Big changes are assuredly coming. Hopefully Rspn can get things working in a timely fashion, and the changes can be embraced!

Giving the crypto a chance to get the drone out, scout around, figure out where squads are and ping locations without getting the drone close enough that it warns the squads. Planning the attack, then sending the drone in to crack shields on everyone involved in a 3v3 before your quad pushes and you come in with them just as you trigger the EMP.
But you know, I had been able to do that all of ONCE with one squad in all the time I played the game (and we won, crazy that). Because, of course, the average Pubs treats the game like Team Death Match with One Life and pushes and dies within 1 minute or less of landing.
 - @pandareno1999 I totally agree. It is fairly balanced. But it's in a tough spot as you mention it's getting stale after 4 years. This is why it's time for chapter 2!
 Yeah, the when the new recon legends scan beacon, they will see all the enemies in a certain area.
@CCbathwater Oh please the crafter is one of the most useful things in the game, do you really want to loot forever to not even find a battery? It saves a lot of time and actually makes you have a decent inventory.
@Kyldenar Well i mean it's pubs, if you expect to have perfect coordination with randoms using Crypto good luck. It's a difficult thing to do even for pros in competitive, it takes months to reach a good coordination. Maybe your expectations are too high lol.

@CCbathwaterThe crafter is a must have to offset the RNG of the loot pool. Batteries, blue shields when you find none in a whole POI, mobile respawn beacons mid/late game, purple helmets/mags, sights, etc.
I think I use it almost every game where I'm not killed immediately. - CCbathwater3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@Cro_PitttYou literally have to loot and rotate at the same time the moment you land, or all the BR haters in Fragment are out of the game by the time you're done crafting your bat. And that's if there even is a crafter in your POI anyway.
@HappyHourSumwurWho are you fighting after you've done crafting the entire Apex inventory list? Maybe you have actual BR lobbies, but my lobbies are just pure TDM's and dead after 3 minutes. @CCbathwater Everything that reduces RNG is a good feature in the game, and that includes crafter. In pubs you don't need to craft a lot of stuff, 1 or 2 batteries are enough, you can do it fast if you manage to loot in a logical way and not randomly.
- CCbathwater3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@Cro_PitttTrue, so if only the crafter would limit the biggest RNG/lotto factor in the game, i.e. hot-dropping, then I'd be onboard, but as it stands now it's a pain and takes away mags and other vital stuff I could potential need from floor loot, which I could find while on the run from the extremely fast closing of the health damaging ring, searching for the last couple of squads to fight. But no, let's put this stuff exclusively in a crafter. Put all guns in the crafter instead, so hot-droppers would have to take turns at the crafter in Fragment before they could pretend to be Shiv.
 @CCbathwater Not sure why you're thinking that removing the crafter will somehow improve the hotdropping issue. Two completely different aspects of the game.
And putting guns in the crafter is a good thing, because at least those are guaranteed weapons you don't need to look for. If you want them just drop on a POI with a crafter. Countless times i've searched for a Flatline or a R301 and could not find any in the entire game, forcing myself to play with an Alternator or some other minor guns.
