Season 3 Patch Notes discussion thread

Hey guys, there's a bug where some (quite a few actually) folks didn't get the right badge for their Ranked position last season. This is known about and is being looked into. 

Hi there! 🙂

Is there anything about bullet speed changes?

I think that in the game it's too low, whitch depreciates the aiming skill due to the fact that players can just run through bullets.

This is especially hard on sniper rifles.

Love the new map, and finally i can play ranked.

ranked badge for diamond and below look like trash, I'll never touch ranked again lol, diamond skydive trail is * too compared to apex predator trail.

Had an issue switching to the season 3 battlepass. I unlocked level 100 on season 2 and when i logged on for s3 the battle pass didnt show up and i had to purchase it instead

The leave penalty in base public lobbies is a bit to far, I agree. seriously though going afk when your team respawns you is not a good way to play. theres sooooo many things you can do to get back into that game (exp. Go loot some basics, loot a death box, finish a kitted player, get revenge.) you have a new life, try to use it to its fullest. 

Have any of the audio improvements been included in season 3 already? (as expected according to https://trello.com/c/B3ICIt4E/38-audio)

recoil randomness

so does this mean that the "recoil will be random" and that you won't know how to control it because......"it's random" ?🤨

❤️

tried searching but couldnt find if anyone has asked, does the kill tracker track kills and assist for the whole team or just my stats?

The more random the pattern the more reactive your control has to be. With a completely fixed pattern you just train your muscles and forget it. With a random pattern you adjust on the go. 

So far the added randomness in Apex is still very mild. E.g., the tilt of R301 pattern varies slightly between sprays and the top half sometimes goes less to the side. The R99 received really little randomness (it should get much more and some pattern randomization like the R301) - the pattern is exactly the same every time, but the horizontal tilt differs a little. Go in to the training room and do a few sprays from the same starting point and you'll see the slight variation. So you still do the same S pattern, just need to add a slight compensation left or right sometimes. In reality though, if you don't change anything, you won't feel any difference, unless you're good at sniping targets at 100+ meters with the R99 (which shouldn't happen at all, in the first place). 

Imo completely random horizontal recoil (e.g., like in PubG) is A LOT better and requires much more skill (when the gun jumps sideways out of nowhere, you have to react to it and bring it back in, not just do it as a learned pattern), but I guess Apex is not aiming to be as hardcore.
