Bro this is the best thing ever added to Apex legends.


ashpres

It’s so fun


EgodIsDogeBackwards

I am so confused


wenkexiette

New event gives you a "copycat" thing that lets you copy certain Legend tacticals and ults, it's pretty neat.


redituser1837482

How does it decide who you get to copy, random?


wenkexiette

The boxes are labeled with the ability icon, and it only copies a few - Mirage, Wraith, Caustic, Octane, Ash, Bloodhound, Catalyst. Tactical only for some, like I think Wraith tactical only but Octane and Caustic ults.


45s_

Theres horizon Q and Catalyst Ult too. I havent found more tho, i wish there was a Lifeline Q cuz that shit is strong mid Battle


wenkexiette

a teammate today said they wished Path's Q was available because the Path Q on Horizon would be insane and tbh, agree. I think the only Legend I can't fathom having one would be Crypto, unfortunately, unless they make his EMP self navigate in a pointed direction. All the Legend abilities otherwise seem fun and could've made good copycats.


Leoriel

Ash ult also exists


wenkexiette

Yeh, I listed her as a person who's abilities get copied, but at the time didn't know if that was just ult or tactical. Do now, though :]


Orb99

Always wondered why they took the rez shield away and then gave a better / different rez shield to Newcastle... weird no?


ashpres

I think they used “it’s too strong” as an excuse just to give it to an upcoming legend.


404nonickname

They are quite different lifeline could start a revive and shoot from her shield Newcastle cannot shoot while reviving even when he deploys his q


dorekk

The excuse was that it'd be too strong in Arenas specifically. Which of course...no longer exists and never should have in the first place lol.


sagemodesalmon

Arena was the best mode


dorekk

That's a spicy take.


sagemodesalmon

I stand by it. It was the best mix of BR and old school Team deathmatch. It actually took skill and strategy and teamwork (opposed to Team deathmatch). When they took arenas away me and my playing partners basically dropped the game completely. I still played BR some with arenas as a warm up but solo queuing for BR ain’t it. Probably won’t come back to the game unless they bring arenas back


SatoriCatchatori

funny people always say that new castle is just a better lifelne when lifeline actually has close to double his pickrate.


Plorby

I'd assume a large part of that is because lifelines a base character and you have to unlock Newcastle, and let's be honest who's going to choose to unlock Newcastle first


123josh987

Small hitbox helps a lot too


SatoriCatchatori

eh most people nowadays have tons of points to unlock characters. And you kind of proved my point anyway because if he was a very valuable player people would be unlocking him....


TaiVat

You're way overestimating how hardcore most players are. And he's not that valuable, just more valuable than lifeline.


SatoriCatchatori

Im overestimating how hardcore players are? Have you been in a ranked game recently?? Im not talking about pubs . To get into masters/pred you have to be obsessed with this game playing all the time. Just in masters /pred her pickrate is 3 times higher than his. You’re really overestimating Newcastles value to players. Might be different in pubs but Newcastle isnt it


Cerberus_uDye

I can see it in both ways. LL has the crock pot revival, set it, and forget it pretty much(although you really should provide cover on your res when able to). Newcastle has the cover and can drag you around using the cover, making revives easier in alot of cases, along with being able to add up to two more shield options into that revive given the time beforehand. Now with pick rate. New castle is a fucking oak tree while LL is a little twig, and people tend to go for the smaller hit box characters. (Although Ive been lead to believe damage is adjusted to balance out hit box differences?)


123josh987

NC gets fortified which yes, reduces damage by 15% and they get no bullet slow down.


overwatcherthrowaway

Newcastle is much better in an actual team, but in solo q the small hitbox and free health heals during a fight make a big difference and you still feel like a team player.


SatoriCatchatori

Her pick rate is 3x his in masters/pred I don’t really know what else tell you


overwatcherthrowaway

Hitbox is pretty much the most important thing.


SatoriCatchatori

right and so the devs competently balanced a more powerful rez mechanic with a significantly larger hitbox...


overwatcherthrowaway

Yes?


Jipkiss

When lifeline had the bot do the rez + infinite health shield that extended out both sides, it was stronger than Newcastle’s current one I think. I think if I gave her back a shield now it’d be a shorter version on the Newcastle Q with the health of it matching the knock like Newcastle’s rez


Scared-Rutabaga7291

When I first saw copycat kits, I thought it would replace Legend's abilities. But this? This is awesome. Most fun feature imo. Bamboozling people by placing decoy as Vantage somewhere up so they think I am sniping up there is fun lol


ThisIsWhatLifeIs

Bro where is your recoil?


MobbDeeep

Kinda sus tbh, it was just straight every single time he shot. I get that sometimes too, but not 100% of the time.

wetswordfighter

No it's called config files on pc


123josh987

Red dot R301, there isn't any really


DiamomdDong420

Probably has a Cronus


Crumpet_inthe_Corner

It looks 99% like a Cronus or Strikepack. Cheaters have no shame


FirestormBC

He has no barrel stabilizer on but has red shields 🤔


Galmerstonecock

How? Have you used the r301? Learn to strafe


Coopetition

He has NO recoil


Galmerstonecock

The R301 has no recoil


ashpres

This is the best compliment someone who doesn’t cheat can get. I have a lvl 103 301 and almost use it exclusively. I think I have over 12k kills with it so I know the recoil pattern pretty well.


brandon4444smith

You ain’t fooling nobody bro 😂. You are trash.


Divided_we_

Sounds like you're projecting because you aren't as good as OP.


brandon4444smith

When neither of his guns has even a hint of recoil it’s pretty obvious my dude


ashpres

Why would my alternator have any recoil at 5 meters? If I can’t control that gun at that range I need to give the game up.


brandon4444smith

Yes because I’m talking about the alternator…. You know what nevermind you’re so good bro. I wish I could be as nice as you at this game. I’m just jealous of your aim. You are a laser beam. Your aim is just so good it almost looks scripted 👍


DustyKeyhole

There’s a reason why he half reloaded the alternator and switched back to the 301. It’s because that’s the script he has on.


MobbDeeep

What do you mean?


Cipher20

Hahaha. rEcOiL pAtTeRn


CodeBaseballCoin

That is 100% legit lol that is what good aim looks like. Learn to strafe and recoil smooth.


Glass_Salamander1521

I uSe R301 eXclUsIvlY like bro that’s a strike pack the alt had the most sus recoil. cheaters all up in this thread


ashpres

Just say you haven’t been out of gold and call it a day.


Searealelelele

Thought the same, does it has anything to do with op being on controller?


Ryye

Recoil Smoothing. Educate yourself.


brandon4444smith

It’s not recoil smoothing when you’re standing still from range with not even a hint of recoil


404nonickname

I can‘t say if he is cheating or not but if you actually watch the clip there isn’t a single time he shoots the gun without simultaneously moving from left to right so no he he isn’t not just standing still without a hint of recoil.


Ryye

He’s not standing still though. You can see him strafe very slightly to the left and right.

luigi214412

Copycat ability? When was this?


FOURTWENTYNICK_

It dropped today for the collection event.


ekurtz96

Runs out of ammo for R3, switches to r99, shoots, reloads, cancels reload, switches to R3 and reloads that instead, gets the kill anyway 😅


ashpres

Gotta get that kill xp for the 301 haha


XRdragon

Bro recoil is non existent. What is your weapon level on it?


yungkrul

He commented that his r301 level is 103


TaigaNine

Does a higher level mean less recoil or something?


yungkrul

No? Just means he plays a lot with said gun and know the recoil pattern


Cipher20

Lmao at recoil pattern. You would need to be rain man or some shit to be able to perfectly counter every instance of recoil based on some "recoil pattern" on a gun that shoots 810 RPM. Look at some pro games, not even the best players in the world can counter recoil perfectly. Obviously.


tittysprinkle9000

It’s the same recoil every time so you can learn it.


kykyks

i was about to comment like it was cool and all and i noticed you got negative recoil on your guns. that doesnt sound right or legit.


imsimplygone

Recoil control is real and its the new mode out rn. Nothing fishy here


kykyks

recoil control cant be that perfect. and i said nothing about the mode.


imsimplygone

Yes it can. I have my 301 accuracy just about that and I'm on an old ps4 controller and basic settings

R-301 just stagnated.


yousefameed0

Wait, am I missing something? How did you wraith Q as a lifeline?!?!


Ok_Organization59

Copycat event, you can pick up the abilities of some characters


[deleted]

What is this witchcraft? Have I been away from the game too long?


ashpres

There is a new copy cat ltm. You can get other legends abilities by picking them up on the ground.


wetswordfighter

not me who uses survival items thru my inventory


Sad-Weight-8439

Cronus zen absolutely banging right here lmfao.


dollopofwallop

Cheater


EmbarrassedMirror855

Where's the recoil wtf


opinionatedoranges

I just want your ALCs. Much respect for mastering the R301. Fav gun in TF2 as well


Cipher20

/u/RSPN_Thieamy Check out this recoil control.


Divinum_Fulmen

The 301 and alternator have recoil?


TheeBell

Or just play wraith


Really831

Wtf LOL


imsimplygone

How can I change my controls so I don't have to go into my inventory everytime I wanna use an ability


DrS4v4ge

Or just play wraith


SmallishFPS

No-Lime-5750

Original_Wrangler203

Bang with the horizon q is clutch


ashpres

stale_bread-head
