I don't like the Boxing Ring but will go there if TMs demand it, but there are two stupid things that really annoy me.😇 You can't switch weapons while in the ring. If you enter the ring with a P2020 and find two good guns there you can only pick one of them up. You have to jump out, switch weapons then jump back in to pick up the second one which is dangerous if enemies are about.(b) When you leave the ring your weapon is holstered, even if it wasn't when you jumped in. Yesterday we landed there on drop and I grabbed a gold Sentinel. I started punching an Octane and hit him three times before he jumped out. I gave chase BUT by the time I had unholstered my weapon AND switched from the Sentinel to the Moz Octane had found a Flatline and he killed me. Annoying as f.I am still annoyed that if you are running out of the ring with a holstered weapon and get knocked, if you get revived your weapon becomes unholstered.

@NolanGraysonnn You cannot change weapons on console. There is one switch weapons button and it does nothing.The ring being punch only with a shield around it is dumb and has no place in this game.

K an older thread I know, but the situation’s still the same. I get the frustrating no-can-switcheroo of guns, but that’s not the one I’m commenting on now.So yesterday I went inside that ring. I never go inside it... usually I avoid that POI in it’s entirety. But last squad... we know where they are. I wanted to box with them... One guy tried but failed so he ran back out... I chased him thinking he’s not going away. So he gets his guns out obv and I’m like 2/3 secs behind so I’m thinking he’s dead when my guns finally come... but even after 4 secs after I left the ring my guns didn’t come out... so this guy is shooting me and I’m thinking “WHERE ARE MY GUNS?!?” so I think maybe I have to use the shoot button... I punch... so I’m like “wait... they don’t actually want me to actively unholster my own guns before I can shoot?!”. Well they did... at the 5th second I finally got my guns out...I couldn’t believe it. You have to actively unholster your own guns even when you didn’t holster them before going into that ring? That’s just stupid. I know, I know, if you play apex this long you should know about this inconvenient feature. It’s definitely on me for not knowing this (downed the guy btw) but I still think it’s ridiculous that it didn’t automatically holster your gun as soon as you step out. You’re already at a disadvantage if there’s other squads waiting outside the ring...Video of this will be uploaded later if I’m not lazy

@Koochi-Q Yes the Boxing Ring is annoying and buggy and the devs don't seen bothered. If you go in with a weapon you come out holstered and you have to unholster your weapon to fire. You also get a second or two of 'none audio' so if someone fires at you immediately you cannot hear it.And yes, you can't switch weapons in the ring. The other day I had a Spifire with a x2 and a Bocek with a x1. I went in with the Spitfire and found a x3 hop up which I wanted to put on the Bocek but if I had done that in the ring it would have taken the x2 off the Spitfire, so I had to jump out the ring to switch to the Bocek and jump back in again.

@EdwardDLuffy I nearly died due to this the other day. Just like wtf why isn't my gun coming out. It's even worse with input latency. Also having to jump in and out to swap weapons is ridiculous.@Koochi-Q Anime tunes? Is that what we're calling the noises that come out of you? xD

@EdwardDLuffy Ummmm 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@EdwardDLuffy I haven't gone there for weeks. Just a third-party fest.

@EdwardDLuffy How about we just remove the bunching only bubble? It doesnt make sense in a shooter.

@BaldWraithSimp I think I’ve been in that specific ring less than 5 times in total. That area less than 15... Going around it however, this I’ve done lots of times xD.

Yesterday I actually asked hayhor if you can shoot into it cause there was a team inside and we had such good Line of Sight on them...

@Koochi-Q I am surprised pro gamers like you still don't know this but you can change both weapons inside the ring 🙂

I mean the highlighted is always highlighted but if I just press number 1 or 2 depending which weapon I want to change and it always works fine 🙂

Of course working highlight would be much better.

The only real problem with the ring is the delay related to everything when leaving the ring.

@EdwardDLuffy Ohhh right, that thing. Fair point but like I said, I never go into the darn thing so that didn’t even register :P

@NolanGraysonnn Pro gamer?! Pshhh, pro gamers are silly. I’m an extreme gamer! Pushing everything beyond the limit while singing anime tunes! xD

But like @hayhor said... no one, two for us (I wouldn’t know cause I don’t go in there. You see my msg before recent one? I was the last who replied in february. Since then I have been inside that ring less than 7 times. When I was inside there were no squads near us or shooting at us so I never noticed anything with the ring except that you can’t use weapons.) Console gamera! I’m not fancy like you with your pc! STOP LOOKING DOWN ON ME ☹️

@Koochi-Qpushing like crazy with anime tunes? Just take my money, sign me in! Where is your channel??
Yeah, the problem with the ring is that every time I get out I can't hear shooting, steps.. actually anything. I need to wait for ages until I am able to withdraw weapon. The only way is to leave the ring on the side where I am sure no one is around.
Worry not, I think console is way better. All my friends are switching to consoles and they say console lobbies don't have cheaters. I don't know if that 's true but still :/
