apex

[golden sphinx]

i 100% need to play the game more than i do tho i play like 10 games or sometimes less and get burned out stops me from getting better at the games mechanics

[unreal berry]

thats fair apex is a pretty unique game, gotta put in the hrs

[golden sphinx]

not a fan of this ugly ahh summary

guess which teammate on our team had the masters badge

[golden sphinx]

man i love sparrow but the amount of times i have been thrown into a roof because of his double jump after jumping off a zipline

team lands on us and get mastiff no bolt and i try to fight and just get thrown into the roof and shit on

[visual shoal]

sky piercer or raptors claw yall?

[alpine trail]

Yea it’s really good

I finally play till endgame and get top5 streaks

[glossy apex]

karambit

best heirloom by far imo

I like this one tho

[rose wraith]

lmao

first clip of the patch

that new pistol is ooooopppp

[rose wraith]

now with da wingman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5P07084yNzI

bang is so back between good heal smokes and her busted passive

uber push op electric smokes are probably still optimal for organized groups but selfish bang feels good

[visual shoal]

i chose sky piercer. no regrets

n bought the green skin for it

[glossy apex]

personal preferance ig

congrats on getting an heriloom tho

[unreal berry]

took me 3 years to get my first hierloom, good times

[visual shoal]

thanks

[cunning peak]

i got it like 2 months ago, been playing sincs day 1 but stopped at s10 and i recently came back

[twilit flicker]

all the new heirlooms are dog

like they are actually ugly

[wintry cypress]

apex just got worse over time

lmao

[twilit flicker]

its just a money printer for EA now

[rose wraith]

a good day to continue chipping away at platinum

[warped basin]

what are peoples thoughts on new season? (ranked specifically)

hot dropping was the most fun part 🙁

[bright slate]

I dont get it

Esp as a solo player

[unreal berry]

they must have not had a lot to lose in the higher ranks lol

[main merlin]

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog-strix-27-oled-qhd-240hz-g-sync-freesync-gaming-monitor-with-hdr-hdmi-displayport-black/6588550.p?skuId=6588550 yay or nay?

[mental ridge]

first of all craft a slim wingman
second get that ugly ass sight of it and use iron sights

[mental ridge]

for apex id prefer a 280hz oled

[main merlin]

it has anti flicker which seems big for oled rn

I'm gonna use it for single player games too

no way I'm not running 2077 or other modern triple AAA titles on it

[mental ridge]

i have one without aw2725df and i dont notice any flicker myself

[mental ridge]

my thought process is that if u get 280hz and use gsync + nvidia reflex + boost youll end up having gsync cap the fps below 265 and thus wont have to deal with bugged bhops

[main merlin]

I usually cap apex at 240 on my current 1080p monitor

[mental ridge]

gsync + reflex + boost is the lowest latency after uncapped way above monitor refreshrate

and since apex is engine capped at 300hz thats not ideal if u wanna bhop since 265-300 is bugged and so is the fps area arround 225fps

IDEAL FPS
First lets cap your FPS to something that's ideal for [bhops](#1324251023564607618 message)
certain fps caps/inconsistent fps can bug out your bhops and make you lose velocity

The following values have been confirmed to be bugged on flat ground.

• 67-79
• 141-155
• 207-230
• 275-300
• Even very shallow inclines extend these ranges even further.
• If you regularly reach FPS in these ranges use the +fps_max command to cap your FPS below one of these ranges. For example +fps_max 285.
• To be safe around inclines set your fps cap 10 FPS below these ranges.

[main merlin]

dam I didn't know that

[mental ridge]

yeah i knew about it for quiet a while

[main merlin]

I just use free sync + amd antilag2 and cap at 240hz

[mental ridge]

couldn't use gsync on my old 240hz monitor because of that

[rose wraith]

Which models are slim

I don’t rly spend a lot of time min maxing view models

[mental ridge]

mecyless wing and death ray
including all 4 of their recolors

[main merlin]

pretty sure its an old event skin lol

[rose wraith]

God these are ugli

[mental ridge]

they just look nicer imo

[rose wraith]

Idc abt look

[main merlin]

the best looking r99 skins have ass irons

[devout tusk]

wingman irons arent centered and 1-2× is the best optic in the game

[mental ridge]

u cant tell me mecyless wing is ugly i feel personally offended

[rose wraith]

It’s ugli

What is this ray gun shit

It’s supposed to be a revolver

[main merlin]

wingman and pk p2w sights aren't that big of a deal imo

the r99 yeah

[rose wraith]

Now knockout

[mental ridge]

? they are centered i have a screen center overlay and never noticed any ofset on native res

[rose wraith]

Dats a good wingman skin

[devout tusk]

aim around bro they arent lol

they lag behind

[mental ridge]

its good looking but chonky

[rose wraith]

That’s what a sight is for…

I ain’t spending 1200 resource on that

[devout tusk]

unless they fixed it recentlishly

[rose wraith]

Now whichever r99 skin is cheating

That one I agree

The ugly one with the gas tube on it

[mental ridge]

ew the old battlepass ones are nicer

[rose wraith]

I like floral fire show

Great r99 skin

[devout tusk]

gas tube just better, but bp one is 2nd place

any tubers

[mental ridge]

[mental ridge]

well i dont use that

[bright slate]

even without its one of the better sights

[mental ridge]

1x>>>

[bright slate]

which one

the red dot sucks

on everything that isnt the wingman

[golden sphinx]

ayyy im freeee

i got timed out cause i said my teammates were really really mentally challenged

[golden sphinx]

i cant even remember what they did

ohh wait nvm

we are fighting a team and 1 teammate gets knocked

he is safe to be revived so my teammate starts reviving

i see the team pushing up so i open the door to put damage into them cause it was just 1 person and my teammate cancels the revive

a few seconds go by and the rest of the other guys team shows up and kills my teammate

and they blame me like if he kept reviving we would have gotten out third up

and we could have had a 3v3

its not like me opening the door gave them full view of my teammate who was reviving because he was still behind cover

the guy i shot at could only see me

[mental ridge]

there is only 1 1x currently
and i prefer it on all guns i use with sights
r99 and car

so lame

[dull falcon]

i loeve this for me

mixtape btw

[dull falcon]

just matching numbers

[outer sleet]

Yo did they make aim flinch worse? I swear it feels 10x worse than what I remember

Also there is aim flinch in caustic gas

https://youtube.com/shorts/vSU-9uz-R14?si=b3Cf7txmMQzupqoE

Is this real?

Cause that would be a w change apart from 70 melee damage

[hallow sail]

🐺

[zinc silo]

have someone a good apex playlist

[alpine trail]

What optics do yall use for r9

[zinc silo]

i use iron sight or 1x

[signal sandal]

Anyone know a good warmup routine for kovaaks

[golden sphinx]

i think its only in the wildcard mode

and tbh depending on the feedback it could end up in all modes

i believe the reason they didnt do it was because it would be too difficult for console players to play against or something stupid like that

[golden sphinx]

i just do runs of VSS GP9 Thin

[unreal berry]

theres a apex playlist in #resources i think

[golden sphinx]

and then i go firing range until i feel like im controlling my recoil properly on the guns i use

and then i go ranked

[unreal berry]

ive converted to higher sens

from 53cm/360 to 25

[golden sphinx]

damn down to 25 is quite the leap

tho tbh i prefer faster sens in apex

[unreal berry]

did it a few days ago, still friend in ranked to push masters so its working out

[golden sphinx]

i dropped from 43 to 32

my main used to be 28

[unreal berry]

1600dpi 0.49 to 1 lol

oneclips close range a lil easier need to work on the long range smgs

[golden sphinx]

ill give it a go

tho ill drop to 28 cause that is the sweetspot for me

[unreal berry]

my wrist control is dog so im just brute forcing high sens in everything tbh

[golden sphinx]

damnn just noticed my mouse is slamclicking badly

im so confused it wasnt slamclicking yesterday

[alpine trail]

U were!

I thought u were in lobby ask

[outer sleet]

nahh maybe its buggeed

I was playing wildcard

but the same thing happened to me I joined you and I thought you were afk

[alpine trail]

Oh lmao

[rose wraith]

@grave girder u sweating ur ass off in these lobbies lmao

[placid root]

Did they improve hitreg, or did they make the projectiles slightly larger?

I feel like I'm hitting slightly more shots

[rose wraith]

Have you been using the EVA 8 today?

Not only do the pellets do more damage, but it got a shadow buff to the tightness of the pattern

[placid root]

Kinda?

But I'm talking about SMG and Rifle

Also, performance is way better

[rose wraith]

Nothing that I’m aware of that people are tracking

[placid root]

It feels like my shots are magnetized today

might just be me

but my friend also said that it feels different

[fleet ridge]

yo wait how did you make your game look like this I need the sauce

[placid root]

idk, new update had optimization improvements

so my old config works WAY better now

[fleet ridge]

damn I've never fucked with configs and I guess I need to get into it cause I could use the performance improvement

ty for answering

[placid root]

I can just send you my autoexec.cfg

[fleet ridge]

I would appreciate it greatly

I know how to run them I just never got into it

[rose wraith]

Second let me get the sauce

I play on low spec machines quite a bit

[golden sphinx]

idk about performance being better i feel like i have been getting frame drops or like slight freezing for like a split second every now and then

even in firing range

[quaint karma]

have you played since the update dropped?

they changed the tonemapping

game looks different now

[fleet ridge]

I've played but my game doesnt look like that but I also just havent fucked with my graphics settings so maybe that

still want the cfg though

[quaint karma]

you can go lower than absolute low through the video config and an autoexec also does some things but it shouldnt be the craziest visual difference ever

biggest difference is probabl y just that you can turn shadows of almost completely

cant do that through the game

off

[fleet ridge]

with how ass my pc I need even a couple more frames squeezed out

[quaint karma]

nice scam loser

[fleet ridge]

people just be posting shit thats crazy

[placid root]

bro, Discord has me in an email verify loop

[fleet ridge]

discord be fucking around like that

will it not let you post a file without verifying your email?

[placid root]

It would keep asking me to verify email again and again

until I changed my email address to a different one

dogshit app, ngl

[fleet ridge]

real shit you get logged out of discord so often for no reason

[placid root]

I had to verify AGAIN

wtf is actually wrong with discord

I have verified like 8 times in the past 20 minutes

[fleet ridge]

they need your information bad dawg

[placid root]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/647423017856794642/1379831476199358554/wideNessie-2x.gif

I think my game is so smooth after this update, that my aim has returned to my peak

might've actually been the shit framerate fucking with my vision

[fleet ridge]

bro the autoexec bumped my shit by no joke ~60 fps mabye my settings were just shit but I appreaciate you

[placid root]

ahahaha, np

[golden sphinx]

hate that everyone is playing caustic and its so hard to tell the difference between your teams caustics smoke and the enemy caustics

aside from the obvious taking damage in it

[fleet ridge]

I've mained caustic for a bit and adjusting to being damaged by enemy gas is crazy

[golden sphinx]

but i was in a team fight so i was taking damage anyways

and i thought i was in my own caustics smoke but nope

[fleet ridge]

yeah I really want them to just give in and make it a different color

[golden sphinx]

just like make the enemies caustic smoke a different color or something at least

[fleet ridge]

thats what I be sayin

[golden sphinx]

still hating randoms

just got a knock on a team so me and other teammate push up

and our sparrow just keeps looting

provides 0 help

other teammate goes down so i get pushed and thats when sparrow comes decides to come to the fight after they have revived and pushed us

just to die in 2 seconds

if u gonna sit out of the fight at least run to craft banners instead of taking the 3v1

[fleet ridge]

fr havent played ranked in a bit so all the way down in silver and they be tryin there best but there so scared of fighting

[golden sphinx]

i also no longer know what character to play to be useful

all characters kinda feel equally shit now

none of my old mains are good

so its just a bunch of characters i dont know how to play properly lol

[fleet ridge]

I'm not really in a place to say it anymore bcs I main caustic but I feel like just playing the fun character is worth

have mained caustic for a long bit and only ever switch to play path and other movement characters

feel like meta isnt worth until you're way higher rank

[golden sphinx]

i have masters players throwing games cause they are too scared to fight 1 team and instead

tp into a completely different team

[fleet ridge]

if you're masters yeah meta probably does matter was assuming lower rank

[golden sphinx]

like we have a whole building we can fight in

but instead ash tps away so we follow cause dont wanna stay alone 3v2

but she tps into a completely no team in a place with like no cover

so we have the team behind shooting us and now the new team to fight 😭

[fleet ridge]

really a generationally terrible ult

[golden sphinx]

the pk feels really nice to use tho

[fleet ridge]

pk be feeling good as fuck

[golden sphinx]

the only problem im having with the new landing system as a solo is that teams are way more spread out now across the map which is good at first

until you try to rotate and you keep running into a different team

makes it harder to get out as a solo to craft banners

[fleet ridge]

yeah way different system I never really played ranked though only solo no fill so I dont remember what it was before

trying ranked this season to try something new

[golden sphinx]

bro why tf is caustic gas going through walls

holy fuck

shits going out and around walls dude threw his gas and i had 0 line of site

no gas visible

still knocks me

also my teammate died cause pathfinder literally ulted to our building and got on top of it right next to us with 0 audio

was the worst timing ever because right as he did it our ash tpd at some enemy we had trapped

[golden sphinx]

solo ranked teammates are literally allergic to playing as a team

for some reason they always split off in a teamfight and die

social distancing like covid is in apex

for some reason with the new drop system like 9/10 games my teammates both run in opposite directions and i gotta choose 1 to follow and there is always a team in each direction

[rose wraith]

Yes that’s why you play with ppl or live it up as a solo q person

If your teammates are lost and you still try to push teams fighting you’re not adapting to who you’re given

[golden sphinx]

didnt push them i had to port them out but instead of taking my port

they literally just sit there fighting while i try go craft banner

they wait until they are 1 hp and then take portal which is even more annoying cause that makes the enemy they are fighting chase harder lol

[rose wraith]

Yes, that’s why in the half of solo Q games where people can’t or won’t play the way you want to play, you play for position and just get placement

You already know the answer and everyone in here has been playing for years so all you’re gonna get is a lot of ‘yeah we know lol’

The most op part of stacking in apex is being able to share a vision of how you want to play a map

So if your teammates play the map dumb then let them die and rotate

[golden sphinx]

cool

[mental ridge]

still got it

first 4k on ash

havent played her since her rework

[rose wraith]

lmao

[golden sphinx]

how nice of the wall to tell you how many teammates left

@twilit flickerhow am i doing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xhGTG67I-M

[unreal berry]

u seem to overcorrect a lot and for some reason hipfire when far away for and extended period of time, kind of panicking and praying for some lucky bullets. Hipfire can be fine when making use of briefly adsing to increase hipfire accuracy. To be fair when i played r5 for a bit it didnt feel like apex and i had the same overcorrection problem.

ur aim is definitely better than the average player though so still a good job 👍🏿

[elder kayak]

I see

[elder kayak]

Thats cool

[twilit flicker]

ads more

its a good habit to quickly ads to make the first few bullets accurate

it doesnt matter much close range but mid/long range its big

[elder kayak]

I see ads and than strafe aim

@twilit flicker do have more playlist

[twilit flicker]

no

[elder kayak]

Ok

[unreal berry]

@elder kayak have you tried the apex specific voltaic playlist?

[elder kayak]

no

i think i should try

[unreal berry]

yeah have a look in #resources

[elder kayak]

sure thx

[severe canyon]

why arent you using 3030

the best practice you can get at this point

[unreal berry]

its r5 so its random?

[elder kayak]

Its r5 reloaded it only have r9,r301,volt,havoc,flatline,eva 8 and Mastiff

[wintry cypress]

🗣️ ambulanße

[severe canyon]

Da fart man, no 3030

Wow r5 is bad practice confirmed

Can you play zone in r5 1v1!!??

[empty thistle]

Oddly target switching has done more for my apex aim than any tracking work has done lately

[rose wraith]

its a game where magazine efficiency hugely correlates to the combat loop of killing without taking too much white health damage

makes sense switching is effective

[mental ridge]

i mean if u have good enough tracking but suck at target aquestion obviously switching will help u to start doing dmg sooner

[half salmon]

r5 is bad practice in current meta LOL

3030 re45 woke meta

[elder kayak]

No

best review ive seen

she made corrections to the og review due to bad english

lowk ill buy one myself

[lapis moat]

i cant tell if its faster or slower than a 4

i want something fast and smooth

[half salmon]

lowkey get a wpad halo like i did

shits fucking FAST

although it does have a little bit of texture to it

peep this shit tho

noticably less in terms of static and dynamic friction

just maybe you won't fw the design

for skates that work best, personally westlab blues dots and ultraglide rs

[vague nexus]

Wha da hell

That is fast asf

I couldnt control that

[half salmon]

to give you an idea on how smooth this pad feels
on relatively worn blues
left is unworn right is worn
32cm/360

mid-long range tracking with hemlock and 3030 + minimal to moderate pressure applied feels extremely smooth

close range 1v1s especially when i have to do bigger motions, you start to feel more of the texture but its not too noticable

and when applying bigger amounts of pressure down, you start to feel more of the texture and a lil sense of control from skates locking into the texture

[lapis moat]

this one does look ok

so mayb e

damn that text top right is shit lmao

i like this art quite a bit

[half salmon]

yeah its quite big

sucks

[lapis moat]

ill wait for some reviews of the skypad 5

i do like their new edge a lot

[half salmon]

yeah, i might get one myself if i have some leftover funds

but im genuinely very happy with this surface

no pad i own rn comes close to how this feels

[lapis moat]

how much faster is it compared to lets say a skypad 3

[half salmon]

skypad 3 not even close brother

wait

skypad 3 just feels like sandpaper compared to the halo

[lapis moat]

oh adapt actually compared the beast to the ipason yao that i have

the beast is like a little bit faster

[half salmon]

they also compared it the beast

[lapis moat]

interesting

[vague nexus]

@half salmon where can i get a wpad halo?

[half salmon]

its only on taobao for now

Also what currency is that?

[half salmon]

try the matrova yang speed

i think it does ship to europe

https://matrova.com/products/yang-speed-glass-pad?variant=50840182096181

comes with a custom image option as well

[vague nexus]

Are they any good?

[half salmon]

yeah

matrova is super good

a bit slower than the beast according to a friend

[vague nexus]

Aight, ill give it a try

Gonna put my discord pfp on it

[empty thistle]

Since my ts was Jade I didn’t think it was that bad but I’ve realised I’m Jade from raw speed and horrible landings

So I was making the first few shots of each mag really hard for myself with the shaky landing

[obsidian pawn]

how's durability of the blues on glass compared to rs? are they a hardened ptfe skate

what are those blue skates

[half salmon]

just regular ptfe

fuck theyre oos

and im running out rahh

[mental ridge]

have u tried the orange ones?

[half salmon]

no

avii did

[mental ridge]

ngl currently i realy enjoy my key 83 mid with artisan dots
once the dots get polished by the pad its quiet nice

[mental ridge]

what did he say

[lusty cliff]

wildcards gives same amount XP as pubs?

i just wanna play wildcards lowkey hahahaa

[half salmon]

@mental ridge

[mental ridge]

there is no reason to play pubs imo
its like a meaningless version of ranked now

wildcard if u just wanna have fun and turn your brain of and ranked if u wanna lock in

yeah riight, but like i kinda do also need xp for the battle pass LOL

not me aint wasting that 10$ just to hit lvl 30 lol

[lusty cliff]

ahhh aight o7

[keen scarab]

this game might have killed my 3080

after the legend select starting this season sometimes my monitor would go black and not have a connection

and i would have to turn the pc off and on to get video

but after today it just doesn’t give any video

put in a 1660 super and i got video output again

[devout tusk]

a game isnt going to kill your gpu

[keen scarab]

why was it only with apex then?

i never had an issue in gpu limited games

i’m guessing my gpu had a problem only exacerbated by apex

[devout tusk]

your gpu just died simple as

[keen scarab]

but only apex gave any problems?

why wouldn’t a game that actually strains my gpu be the one to kill it?

[rose wraith]

Could be a driver issue

Update or roll back and try again

[keen scarab]

i uninstalled with ddu

still no video output

[rose wraith]

Works with other games?

Troubleshooting at this point includes a fresh reinstall of windows and replacing the gpu if it’s other games

If it’s just apex you could always submit a report to respawn

[keen scarab]

only apex

[devout tusk]

thats what he said lol

wait so it still works

the 3080

[keen scarab]

only after legend select

[rose wraith]

Yeah it just crashes apex

[severe canyon]

Gods tryna tell you something

[rose wraith]

Did you do a fresh reinstall of apex?

[severe canyon]

Don’t play the fuckass game

[keen scarab]

the fans spin even when there is no video

so i’ll still have audio and the like

[mental ridge]

i have 0 issues with my 3080 in apex so i dont think its a problem regarding the 3080 in general

@keen scarab when was the last time u reinstalled a fresh windows on your pc?

[keen scarab]

a while ago

like 2023

[mental ridge]

2 years yeah thats enough time for you to break windows in some way and or for Windows to break itself

[keen scarab]

i won’t be home for a little but i can check event viewer and see what that says

idk if it’s a windows problem though because using another gpu fixes it

it would take a while to see if the issue replicates though

it has only happened once every several hours of playing

[mental ridge]

well to me it sounds like a rare and quiet deep error in the system that will be extremely difficult to figure out

im expect a completely fresh install of windows to fix thst problem

u could try running the checking for corrupted files command

[keen scarab]

sfc /scannow ?

[autumn fulcrum]

try out the ghostglides cyclone

out of the 15+ skates ive used on different glasspads they feel by far the best

the control speed and smoothness is insane

[lusty cliff]

just let me get my 20kills.....

[empty thistle]

[main merlin]

Best 1440p custom res?

[cosmic raven]

for me 1920 1440

[bright slate]

best res 1080x1080

[severe canyon]

So many multiplication questions man

When did this turn into math chat

??

[pale ivy]

Hi guys, please help me. I need some routines for training 1:3:1 grip in apex

Maybe some kovaak scenarios or YouTube video with some tips and tricks

Thanks!

[severe canyon]

There’s not really specific practice for it afaik

Just general practice with it will get you used to it

[unreal berry]

Just play native and sit close to screen enemies get bigger trust

[empty thistle]

Xantares tech

[inner trench]

Bro can smell the pixels

[twilit flicker]

i used to play like that

[elder kayak]

@twilit flickerwhere do i find intermediate lvl clicking kovaak playlist

[twilit flicker]

#resources

[elder kayak]

i need new one

@twilit flicker does static scenario helps fast flicking?

[twilit flicker]

static is useless

[elder kayak]

what about dynamic

[twilit flicker]

its good

[empty thistle]

rank cats by usefulness for apex

[twilit flicker]

if you count strafe tracking as a category then i would put it first

smoothness and reactivity are about the same

target switching and static is least useful

[empty thistle]

alr ty

I'm playing with the idea rn that my diamond/low jade in other cats is bottlenecking me and pushing my tracking higher than masters isn't that useful until I bring them up

[elder kayak]

i see

so what scenario improve flicking speed?

[glossy apex]

I can't bro

closest I've been to pb on this in a while

[half salmon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XcYTr45Srw @lapis moat

[gleaming echo]

Whats a good crosshair color

[rose wraith]

badges secured we are frauds

[bright slate]

green

as long as you can see it most of the time its fine

[gleaming echo]

I’ve been struggling with finding a cross hair color and will find my self switching constantly

@rose wraith

[rose wraith]

for what apex?

[gleaming echo]

Sure

[rose wraith]

apex doesn't have crosshairs...

[gleaming echo]

Reticle

[rose wraith]

not in that sense anyway

[gleaming echo]

Sorry

[rose wraith]

idk tbh

all the colors suck because they don't offer two tone

pick whichever you like

[bright slate]

use the invis colour

-2.14 billion

🔥

[gleaming echo]

What colors do you use while aim training

[empty comet]

Guys I need your advice. What will work better, x-raypad jade or obsidian for Apex? I play on control pad or like a mix between speed and control.

And is there like overall advice for different kind of activities, like tracking is better with speed pad, and glides, fliks will be easier with control or something.

[unreal berry]

i have obsidian air pro, works well

[lusty cliff]

yooo guys, every JP players always using at least one of these brand called aim1

[unreal berry]

whats aim1 👀

[lusty cliff]

are they just local in jp market or is there any chance i can also buy from them

[lusty cliff]

a brand that got me curious from every jp streamers and jp yt aimers

some pros also using it

they got a inspiered za 13 shape clone and then idk if the mousepad is good or na

[lapis moat]

sounds slower than i thought

[dull falcon]

We are

[rose wraith]

I now have like 5 4k badges lol

[jaunty iron]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

1 KILL OFF 20

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

[rose wraith]

It’s wildcard

You’ll get another one

lol

[glossy apex]

holy fuck bro

[jaunty iron]

no its normal pubs

[glossy apex]

my previous 2 pbs were so close and now I finally got it

[jaunty iron]

i fkin hate wildcard

[glossy apex]

and I got exactly 3,5

[glossy apex]

but it's free badges no?

haven't played it myself tbf, but I was thinking of trying it out to farm some kills and badges or whatever

[empty thistle]

If they’re ez in wildcard, surely the badges stop being cool to show off?

[glossy apex]

I feel like they kinda did already after three strikes and all the revival game modes but idk

I got my first master score tho

[empty thistle]

Based tracking main

[oak veldt]

the sound in this game is so terrible, had a squad run up on mine 2 games back to back and no one heard any feet

[glossy apex]

I rly need to get my other categories up...

[crystal swift]

Do aim routines work in apex?

[bright slate]

sure

[lapis moat]

why wont they

[bright slate]

its not val

[lapis moat]

it works in any game cuz mouse control applies everywhere

[crystal swift]

what aim routine should i do?

[devout tusk]

fun ones

[bright slate]

routines are boring

[devout tusk]

ye ive never done playlists but people are obsessed so

fun is the most important thing for aim training imo

easy to burn out if you hate it

and you will want to get better and start thinking about how on your own

[bright slate]

yeah

i couldnt force myself to continue vdim or corporate serfs smoothness stuff

[twilit flicker]

real

[nimble spade]

I almost can unlock my first legend, how do i choose it correctly?

[jovial mauve]

is it worth switching off the skypad to a more control pad, if my reactivity is jittery/shaky? or will this just hide the issue and should i just fix it first ?

[half salmon]

maybe put in time to fix the issue rather than doing that

[alpine trail]

ash is a strong pick

[mental ridge]

People abuse bot lobbies or team to get them so they aren't worth anything for quiet a while

[glossy apex]

scam

[jovial mauve]

how do you get the algs badge

1 or 2 star one

[elder kayak]

It has been a week since I started playing random scenarios without following a specific routine, and I can say it’s much more fun and allows me to play longer

[scenic musk]

just started playing again only silver rn lol

but does nobody in low elo understand how alter works??

ive never had anyone using my nexus when knocked without telling them

[alpine trail]

ur solo q teamates are usually not bound to be the greatest

[minor blaze]

You get inted by former masters players that hold god spot for no good reason, apex players in general don't seem to have good understanding of gameplay and macros

[bright slate]

masters doesnt mean that much

[alpine trail]

its mostly about who has a stack and plays the most

[bright slate]

you dont need either of those to hit masters 🤷‍♂️

[glossy apex]

let's fucking go

second master score

[bright slate]

pgt is lightwork

grab that john

[glossy apex]

nah bro💀

I swear thats like my worst one

idk how I got diamond

haven't played it in a while tbh

maybe I could

[bright slate]

its easy

farm bot1 for cel pacing then choke gm on bot 2-3

[glossy apex]

real

I did recently clean my mousepad and it clearly helped

getting 2 master scores not long after

so maybe I should try pgt again

I think I lacked smoothness because my mousepad was inconsistent

[golden sphinx]

for smoothness u can also try the tsk extra benchmarks

they are quite fun

[golden sphinx]

wait lol

they made amps rarer

when community were complaining that they were a bit too rare like only half the lobby having them which was a bit unfair on the other half

but now even less of the lobby are going to have the advantage which is even more unfair depending on how you look at it 😭

showing the amps on health bars is a good change tho since with that one that gives more shield

in the past you knew because they had red shields but with that amp it just showed a purpel shield so it was hard to tell

[rose wraith]

Good

They were common enough that the top drafters got to fit through them and pick what they liked

Making them more uncommon doesn’t affect pub experience but nerfs top players by reducing the options they have

Now they all get one but they don’t get to rat fuck a pile for their preferred one

[glossy apex]

ye I agree lowkey

[golden sphinx]

out of all games i have played i have only seen the infinite ammo one a single time lol

the only one i ever really pick up is the infinite battery

[glossy apex]

are some of them rarer than others?

[golden sphinx]

actually so useful not having to worry about shields can play a bit more aggressive

[glossy apex]

I only rly see infinite bats and overflow

[golden sphinx]

i feel like the only one that is rarer is the inf ammo

[glossy apex]

ye

[golden sphinx]

i have seen all the others a lot but inf ammo only a single time

[glossy apex]

I wanna run bow so bad, but I never find it so I usually use a diff gun

[golden sphinx]

bangalore got a nerf too tho its one that makes sense

she can no longer break deployables with her smoke if they are on the other side of a wall

tbh sounds more like a bug fix than a nerf because that shouldnt be happening in the first place lol

[glossy apex]

I was about to say

[golden sphinx]

i need to play more barely played it the past few days

[glossy apex]

I just hope they nerf marksmans tbh

need AR meta or something bro

so boring shooting at pixels across POIs

it's basically luck based because you can't rly predict movement at that range and it's not hitscan so it doesn't require aim either

[golden sphinx]

yeah its hard imo cause if they nerf them too much they will just be useless

[glossy apex]

tru

[golden sphinx]

i like marksman but its not fun to play against either id personally rather have close range fights

[glossy apex]

but I think marksmans, snipers and lmgs should never be meta anyways. They should be there for the few players that have that "niche" playstyle

[golden sphinx]

thankfully tho kings canyon is not in the map pool cause that is the worst map for it

literally everyone on that map runs a sniper or marksman and its just the most unfun experience in the game

[glossy apex]

kings canyon is so ass it's unbelievable

every poi is shit, chokes are shit, no mans land in between pois are shit

it's just shit

all of it

[golden sphinx]

yup just way too open for the current meta and how easily teams can get across the map with the jump towers

[glossy apex]

broken moon also has horrible chokes and open spaces you have to cross, but atleast the pois are fun to fight at

for the most part

KC should never be in ranked rotation tbh

I don't understand why it is

do they have a contractual obligation to include it?

[golden sphinx]

i think the issue i have most with broken moon is how tall all the walls are around the map

cant even fly over most of them with a jump tower so you're forced to go through tight areas full of teams lol

[glossy apex]

I swear broken moon is designed to force 5 teams through a 15cm gap on zone close

so stupid

[rose wraith]

There’s several spots if you know them

Learning curve but some sick rotations are possible

Also…arguably this makes good rotations more important if you can actually get screwed on ring 3/4 by being late entry

[glossy apex]

true

but

[glossy apex]

impossible to coordinate with randoms

fun if 3 stacking tho

[rose wraith]

You’re just described doing anything in apex

[glossy apex]

when you oob a team cuz you know a spot

[rose wraith]

Not just rotating on Bm lol

[glossy apex]

ye

true

solo q is pain man

[south wave]

that’s kind of the point

if you could go high enough, on any map, and go wherever you want whenever you want, FROM wherever you want, it would be really lame

the nuance to rotating is part of what makes apex a great competitive game

[glossy apex]

but the chokes are insane tho

[south wave]

you ever find yourself feeling like you can only rotate through a single choke point

then realize if you go into zone and go around the mountain etc

then you tell your team and you do it

you just made a good call

[golden sphinx]

That is so the point that they only used it for that one map and none of the others

[unreal berry]

Broken moon is the newest map no? So that makes sense

Ah wait edistrict

But that also has many choke points so I guess it falls into the same theme 🤷🏿‍♂️

[golden sphinx]

not really at least compared to broken moon e district has buildings yeah but very easy to fly around them just not over them but thats like a small part of the map

[empty thistle]

Atleast on e- district you can cheese it with alter

I was malding in broken moon when there was still 16 teams ring 3 and we were stuck on edge the entire game 😂

[unreal berry]

Doesn't sound like a fun time

[golden sphinx]

the biggest issue is

ill place the balloon on top of a building in one of the few places so we can make it over

teammate just keeps looting bodies

balloon blows up

has to then spend ages running around the wall alone either dies to zone or makes it through and there is another team that gets an easy kill lol

gimme that destiny 2 shit where if teammates are too far behind they get teleported to you lol

[main merlin]

If your teamates cant keep up its a team chemistry or gamesense issue(they aren't prioritizing zone with you) most of the time. I've seen soo many shit ashes waste ult to catch up to us while soloq

[empty thistle]

Alter go brrr

I mean soloqing you should know you’re playing babysit simulator

[hushed forge]

if I had a random ash on my team and they use their tp to catch up to us I might honestly alt f4 right then and there

wasting one of the best ults in the game

game has never been more gone

[main merlin]

I get really bad luck in soloq

My 2nd rando is usually decent but the third can be some dog water player with literally no brain

[hushed forge]

I should get back into apex ngl

the only issue is I need good teammates

[main merlin]

Soloq is easier when you get good teamates

Its just the backpack weight teamates are ultra tilting

[hushed forge]

I have 2 friends that play the game and one of thems good and the other one isnt the most gifted

hes a good teammate at least

[hushed forge]

deadass

when I played the game I was duoq'ing with my friend and some guy just started throwing because

get this

we didnt land where he wanted

I just hate random teammates sm

apex has like second worst random teammates in any game

[alpine trail]

What rank would u guys call skilled this season, like which rank is hard to get into

[alpine trail]

What server do u play on

Me and another guy are looking to q, a third would be good

[hushed forge]

EU

[alpine trail]

Oh sake

*same

Rank?

[hushed forge]

I hit diamond 3 when I played

grind got boring and I went back to siege

[alpine trail]

Oh nice, when did u play?

[alpine trail]

Ahh r6 player

[hushed forge]

I stopped like 2 months ago

[alpine trail]

Oh alr

[hushed forge]

I started playing like april/may ish

[alpine trail]

Oh nice

add me if ur looking to q w some1

[hushed forge]

I sent you a friend request

if I get back into the game Ill dm you

[alpine trail]

Aight bet

[hushed forge]

apex will prolly be a secondary game for me

my main focus is in siege and playing comp there

[alpine trail]

What’s ur siege rank?

[hushed forge]

peak dia2

rn em1 but I havent played much ranked this season

[alpine trail]

I play Val, apex is secondary aswell for me, but rn kinda primary game

Val is dying

[hushed forge]

I used to main val but it got really boring

games last an hour and it takes forever to grind

[alpine trail]

Yea there’s too much in the game now

And they’re impossible to play

[hushed forge]

yup

dogshit teammates every game and youre stuck w them for at least like 40 minutes

only to gain a whole 20 RR

[alpine trail]

Exactly, it’s even worse in silver and gold

Esp gold

Too many Smurfs and throwers

And cuz it’s 5v5 it’s harder to carry

Then if u don’t have good team comp game is basically lost

[hushed forge]

I got through silver pretty quick so idk

and gold wasnt that much of a struggle for me

[alpine trail]

So did I but it’s hard for a lot of ppl

Even for me when I started the game

I peaked diamond and quit

[hushed forge]

lmaoo same

I was dia 2 then I quit the game in e9a3

[alpine trail]

My account got banned for a year so I had to make a new account

I didn’t play on that much

[hushed forge]

😭

[alpine trail]

I only got to plat

[alpine trail]

I got banned for playing bad

How does that make sense

[hushed forge]

LMAO WHAT

thats insane

[alpine trail]

The game was at like 2 am and I didn’t hit any of my shots

I played so bad I tried joking abt it

Ppl thought I was throwing

I got banned

[hushed forge]

😭 😭

its so over

[alpine trail]

The game bans u for the most random things aswell

I had a toxic teammate and when I tried calling him out for it I got banned for being toxic😭😭

Telling him to go take a shower was too much ig

[hushed forge]

Ive gotten so many temp comp bans for toxicity icl

last time I got a 2 week one so I had to make an alt account

[alpine trail]

I can’t even blame you

It’s a headache to play

They should honestly decrease the amount of rounds to win

Maybe like 9 instead of 12

*13

[hushed forge]

ong

games just take way too long

same issue with CS

[alpine trail]

And cs has too many hackers

[hushed forge]

its not that bad anymore tbh

esp if you play faceit

[alpine trail]

Oh damn

When I played there were Atleast 2 in every game

[hushed forge]

siege has a massive cheater problem now

[hushed forge]

yeah it used to be really bad

[alpine trail]

I wanted to get into siege but a lot of ppl told me not to😭😭

So I didn’t

[hushed forge]

siege is fun

you should try it and see if youd like it

[alpine trail]

Yea it seems fun

It’s a paid game right?

[hushed forge]

its just high elo will be full of cheaters

its gone free to play

[alpine trail]

Oh alr

[hushed forge]

you still have to pay for ranked like CS

[alpine trail]

Oh acc?

[hushed forge]

but you can play standard and quick match

[hushed forge]

yh

[alpine trail]

Ahh ok

[hushed forge]

with siege x launch they made it free

[alpine trail]

I’ll try it out and see if I like it

I’ll pay for ranked if I enjoy it

[hushed forge]

Id also recommend finding a stack

random teammates arent the brightest

[alpine trail]

Not surprised lol

[glossy apex]

love this meta

[hushed forge]

2 hits 😭

[alpine trail]

Who doesn’t

Yk what’s better

A person spamming g7 at close range and winning the fight

[honest plank]

yoo anyone wants to hop in we need a +1 cuz bronze silver starting again and the mates are not the brightest

[severe canyon]

They gotta just play the lottery at that point

[jaunty iron]

its just unfun because before i finish one fight theres 3 new people on me

i like the fast fightnig pace

but its a lil too much for me

[devout tusk]

g7 has good hipfire

[half salmon]

they need to nerf the amount of damage needed to get skull piercer

its just so fucking easy to get

enhance weapon off drop

crack like 2 people

[alpine trail]

Isw

And then gimme 50%

[alpine trail]

It’s too good

[rose wraith]

I love the 30-30

It’s so strong if u have aim fundies

[lapis moat]

its the best gun in the game next to the re lmao ofc its strong

120 headshot, stupid amounts of econ cuz it shoots heavy instead of sniper, large bullet size, acceptable hipfire

dont even need to aim with it

[half salmon]

you genuinely dont need good aim with it

bullets are fucking massive and you can randomly just dink people for 120 even if you are like average controller bob #19346

[rose wraith]

I mean you can Line up shots just fine with any DMR

But aim lets me acquire targets quickly and track effectively

The 30-30 is a disgusting weapon if you can aim

[half salmon]

genuinely needs a nerf tbh

skullp is too easy to get

and its even worse now with no helmets in the game

[lapis moat]

remove skull

nerf bullet size a little bit

[outer sleet]

Ye skullpiercer is kind of broken ngl. 104 headshot was bad enough

[hybrid blade]

https://youtu.be/4dm4Ey-q5p0?si=T7v58D__4vo3nEuP

[vague nexus]

@half salmon do i get coated or uncoated for yang speed?

cause uncoated is sold out

idk if there is a difference

[half salmon]

they stopped doing uncoated

[vague nexus]

does it matter?

its so hard to decide what picture to put on it

[lusty vault]

can you play apex

on 8k

or is it still weird

[devout tusk]

its fine

[elder kayak]

@twilit flicker Is it normal if you feel a little pain in your wrist after aim train?

[outer sleet]

I mean it is I feel like. At least I feel a bit after like 2 to 3 hours but I rarely get to that point anyway

My wrist is fucked though so maybe it isn't

[elder kayak]

Is it not too serious right?

[unreal berry]

make sure to stretch before and after

better to not have pain at all

[elder kayak]

This part of my hand was hurting a little yesterday.

[outer sleet]

Well that depends. I normally don't feel any pain at all but it has mobility issues. Basically if I put my hand palm down in a 90 degree angle and apply pressure it hurts really badly for no reason idk why

It's been like that for a while I don't know what to do with it

[elder kayak]

[hushed forge]

Arm sleeve

[outer sleet]

don't have one

which one should I buy?

[elder kayak]

Me using socks as a arm sleev

[empty thistle]

Another roller advantage

[cedar wigeon]

I wouldn't recommend an arm sleeve if you have a cloth pad (My experience)

[hushed forge]

I have the wallhack frenzy sora sleeve its pretty good

procision arm sleeves are also pretty good apparently

[hushed forge]

on my artisan zero arm sleeve isnt bad

I think it depends on what clothpad you use

[main merlin]

My peak was a 21 kill 5100 damage control game

[hushed forge]

what the flip

[unreal berry]

🤔 I think my best ever game was duos where my random died or left early and I dropped 5k+ on lifeline

Good times

[wintry cypress]

u can try it

but it probably wouldnt look like how apex is intended

considering windows autohdr is known to lift shadows i believe

so idk if visibility would be better or worse

[wintry cypress]

bro got that jitteraim on the first guy

[placid root]

I wasn't even trying to 😭

nah you're right tho

unless you play solo, theres no much going on

these times its been only walking around the map for MINUTES and getting sniped
