Thoughts on being able to prone?

I just wanted to see what some peoples thoughts were on being able to fully lay down on the ground for a more immersed experience in the game and allow for people to take more cover in areas with only small amounts of cover.

Personally I've been thinking about this for a while now and would like to see it in game, maybe as a part of a LTM where it gets included, ya know, just to see how it could affect the game. Good or bad.

Feel like being able to fully lay down would help being spotted from miles away because of how lighting works that tends to make you stand out from afar. And it could lead to some nice Chernobyl plays (That one COD MW mission) along with other fun stuff.

Prone might push the meta into way too much hiding and camping, especially on roofs. Anyway, if they ever consider adding it, would be fun to have the legends lying down take damage when run over by Gibby (buff idea!).

No no and no. The ability to lay down is not something i want to see in apex. There is enough cover and when in the open learn to run so that you dont get shot that much.

@iBlockHead True, i just know that in BFV the controls are horrible on xbox. slide is super inconsistent for me so I don’t even use it. Half the time the avatar just lays down.

It probably would work poorly unless we have guns that oneshoot. If you are prone and not moving you are gonna melt fast as soon as you get noticed/start shooting.

I think I'd be okay with a new sniper legend having a prone passive, but having prone on every legend in this game doesn't make sense, since it's more focussed on movement and constantly moving.
