Caustic buffs

Patch is definitely enough to make it feel a bit more fresh. Looking forward to getting my first Gib win.

Korvanica · 17-04-2019 11:55am

Sweet baby Gibbles might be viable now, hurray !

PaddyBomb · 17-04-2019 12:02pm

Caustic is really good now. His gas is actually scary now instead of being a mild inconvenience.

TerrorFirmer · 17-04-2019 9:10pm

Caustic gas is the one thing I'm noticing being majorly different. He's a terror indoors.

19-04-2019 9:28am

Match making is fixed too. I'm back where I belong, in with all the noobs.

fixXxer · 19-04-2019 9:46am

Gibraltar feels more useful too. Either of those two in the endgame are a proper challenge.

Is it me or is he harder to knock down? As in he takes more hits? It would make sense that the bigger characters are slower but stronger, smaller characters faster but weaker.

Well himself and Caustic now have 10% damage reduction since the recent patch, Gibralter's shield also got more health.

THEY dont though the bug actually takes away health and shield at the same time

What bug? Whatcha talkin bout?

TerrorFirmer · 22-04-2019 9:24pm

Just won a game there. Got the finishing kill, had no kills before that, and squad also had zero kills and almost no damage. Sometimes sneaking around does pay off!

fixXxer · 22-04-2019 9:28pm

Had A fairly ****e run of games there, then suddey won two on the bounce.

The last one was a Really satisfying Caustic win. Caught two enemy teams in the caves with the death field behind them. Channeled them through the gas traps, then noxed them, then spitfired the survivors to death. From zero to five kills in about 15 seconds

TerrorFirmer · 22-04-2019 9:46pm

Caustic gas is utterly lethal now since the patch. Amazing for area denial. See it regularly now, multiple teams drop in a hot zone, caustic slows them by 30 seconds.....by which time his squad is fully tooled up and facing an enemy squad with the barebones.

Liam128 · 24-04-2019 9:11am

It is difficult to get used to Caustics, my friend loves to play on it and does it not badly, but for me gas is a real problem, I like to play at middle and near distances, but because of gas I don’t see anything, it’s a problem for those group.

Pair up with a Bloodhound and get them to point near the gas cloud, it find a Digital Threat gun attachment. Or spray and see what hits

Noticing a high percentage of players leaving after they're down and not bothering hanging around for a respawn. Myself included I have to admit, it's just not worth it starting from scratch with no gear. Sometimes you might be near your death box or others, but most of the time it's just certain death again.

I wonder is there anything they can do to address it? Early days there was great comradary making it well worth sticking around for your team mates to pick up your tags and respawn you. It was very much integral to the game, it's a pity to see the feature being abandoned by players.

I wounder would he be over powered if his gas didnt affect his team mates. I find him good for barricading in bunker or if you end up on your own but as a team youre almost hindering your teammates.

I always wait for respawn, as as long as you're in the game there's always a chance. There's always plenty of lower level weapons, armor etc pretty much everywhere that fully geared players don't want. And it's only fair to your teammates if they make the effort to respawn you.

For me Apex isn't always about winning, given the unlikely odds, but about having a good time and playing well.

Hate when people land on the furthest end of the map possible and fart around looting for 15 minutes, it's so boring. Prefer to jump right into the action and get stuck in.

They need to introduce some system of leaving penalties though, because tons of people also just immediately quit if they don't get their favorite character at the start.

I find myself doing this too. Play with friends. Join a gaming group.

fixXxer · 28-04-2019 1:30pm

It sure seems to be becoming more common. Playing today before heading in to work and all games I was left on my own while the other two ran off in opposite directions, got downed and then left before I could get to either of them. Like, why play this game if you're just going to ignore one of its central mechanics and **** off as soon as you've got yourself killed trying to 1v3.

Game is starting to lose it's appeal very quickly, for all the above reasons. As mentioned playing with mates or a joining a gaming group is the only way.

I've done a 180 and gone back to single player games of late.

raze_them_all_ · 28-04-2019 5:12pm

I genuinely think no battle Royale game should be released with less then 3 maps at launch. The same map just gets boring

Blanchy90 · 29-04-2019 2:53pm

I think a solo mode would be a big improvement. I either play with one friend and a random or just jump in with 2 randoms. Having a solo option would definitely get me to play more

TerrorFirmer · 29-04-2019 5:59pm

The ones who charge off 100m ahead and engage in 1v3 are the worst. Impossible to retrieve them (if they don't immediately disconnect after being killed).

Guy above is right though. It does seem to be way more common now to just instantly disconnect once you're killed. I've had people do it even when we've won the fight and all we have to do is find a beacon...nope, gone.

I hope they bring in penalties of some kind for leavers. It's really affecting the game recently.

How high does your ping need to be to put you at a disadvantage? Getting 80ms on the New York server, no noticeable lag and actually won my first game for a few days :-) Finding it better on there, none of this quitting when you're down lark or running off solo. People seem to use the mic more too.

gimli2112 · 01-05-2019 8:26am

the advantage of playing with americans is they tend to talk a lot, the disadvantage of playing with americans is they tend to talk a lot

Lag can work both ways too it can help or hinder

MiCr0 · 10-06-2019 9:29am

any one still playing on ps4?

fixXxer · 10-06-2019 9:48am

Yup. Dunno why though. Feels more like a RNG these days than a game of skill.

PaddyBomb · 10-06-2019 9:51am

Yeah I'm still playing on PS4.

The new character looks good and the new weapon looks a beast!

Yep and I'm still absolutely terrible. Fluking my way through some games, getting killed in the first two minutes in most.

fixXxer · 10-06-2019 4:42pm

Jumped back on last night to play a few games. Really don't like the new music they put in. Especially the Jump music. The old one was really good pump up/hype music. This new one feels too chill.

tusk · 10-06-2019 4:47pm

Has anyone playing on console tried remapping the 'pickup' button, so you don't need to take your thumb off the stick? If so did it make much of a difference? It's been the most annoying thing for me about console

I forgot about the remapping. Need to put the melee button somewhere I won't accidentally got it in the middle of a gun battle

MiCr0 · 12-06-2019 8:17pm

I'm ieMiCr0 on PSN if you're looking for a (poor) teammate

FunLover18 · 24-06-2019 2:50pm

Had weird experience today where I shot down a deathbox from one of the newly introduced flyers and it turned out to be belong to my roommate who I knew was at work. Apparently this is a new feature where the flyers carry deathboxes from your friend list. Also annoying that an enemy squad was drawn by me gunfire and promptly wiped us out.

TerrorFirmer · 26-06-2019 11:30pm

When does S2 begin? Hate how wins aren't counted anymore!

PaddyBomb · 27-06-2019 7:55am

Season 2 is starting the 2nd of July and the trailer for it has been leaked early here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/c60fhp/second_season_2_trailer_better_quality/

A lot of major changes to the map in Season 2, along with a new character, a new gun and a ranked mode.

nix · 27-06-2019 12:48pm

Any other team modes or solos or are they still sticking with just teams of 3?

Still only teams of 3. I'm not sure if a solo mode would work with this because of all the team based mechanics but I'd love to see a few different team modes.

Yeah i agree also, i think duo's should be as low as they go, im surprised they still havent added duo's and quads at this point in time, its redic,,

FunLover18 · 27-06-2019 3:35pm

I feel like you should get points for collecting a teammate's banner given that anyone can respawn once it's been collected. Collecting can be just as dangerous as respawning, moreso in most cases.

fixXxer · 02-07-2019 1:36pm

I got a message on my screen last night saying that my loss wouldn't count as my teammates had abandoned me. Nice change that, I assume because I was in the Elite 5 game rather than the regular one?

Took a break from this for a while but looking forward to Season 2 now.

They're introducing penalties for people who quit, they won't be able to join a new game for increasing amounts of time. I think it's a good idea but I think they also need to introduce something for people who don't make an effort to get the banners, although it would be difficult to monitor.

Chicken George · 02-07-2019 1:49pm

Season 2 trailer looks great imo.
Big changes coming to the map.

PC, and to a very tiny degree Xbox ( As in, I've played about 3 games because my brother was whinging at me to. )
