Trident’s make it too easy to third party

Third partying has always been a part of apex.

But now on Olympus thanks to Tridents, combined with the fact that you can hear gunfire from half the map away it seems like every single fight is a third/ fourth party fest. It’s now too easy to traverse across the map 

I feel like there should be limitations on travel in a Trident, maybe limit the fuel supply for only a certain amount per team so you can’t just endlessly speed around looking to join in on fights

  • @Bean2kay9I will say that's the point and I will also add that it's by design. Third-party creates all those crazy moments.

    I still don't know how to feel about that in general if I'm honest but I'm accepted it's something that's never going to change.

  • @DraelthYou really think it’s healthy for the game? Especially when it comes to player retention or attracting new players?
    Under normal circumstances a team of lower level players might go all game without encountering a high level team until the final ring, and by that point they could have all crafted red armour and have a decent chance of winning the encounter if they’re smart and stick together as a team, or maybe all the high level players have wiped each other out at this point and the final fight is between two or three similar skilled teams

    Now imagine if every time there was even the faintest sound of gunfire every predator squad with 100’000 kills between them all hoped on a trident and wiped the floor with the lower level squads before they even have a chance to reload

    One of the aspects of a BR game is a large map that takes time to traverse, you could go games and games only encountering one or two other squads, a perfect mix of survival and traversal with each team constantly on the move to get to the next ring

    If you have fast vehicles with unlimited fuel then you lose not only all sense of urgency to make it to the next ring, but also it gives teams the tools to travel across the map in no time to join in on fights they otherwise wouldn’t have encountered, making it impossible for newer players to have a fair fight without every pred squad in the area joining in

    I’m not saying remove the vehicles, I think it’s really fun to travel across the map and they have got me out of some sticky situations before, I just think there should be limitations, a fuel reserve maybe that once used up you can no longer travel in the Trident and now have to get out and make the rest of the way on foot, this would stop those super aggressive teams trying to get in on every single fight in the game
