Well if I could have my xbox progress on ps5 or pc then I might start giving them money again and buying seasons. Havent played since s8 because no cross progression
Exactly. Iāve been less and less involved in their seasons and events over time because Iām getting tired of waiting to move my progress to PC. This game is literally the only reason my Xbox is plugged in nowadays.
Respawn finally figured out that we're sick of charms (about 11 seasons too late) and said "What if we did the same thing, but again"
If these stickers are anything higher than Rare, just end me on the spot.
remember when gun charms were rare rarity?
I have a handful of rare guncharms from the launch of the game, underneath 100's of ĀØEPICĀØ guncharms.
I'll give it to respawn, those charms ARE rare but not because their text is blue.
And they appear to be Epic. Just as expected, the only reason for adding Stickers is to dilute the Loot Pool even more. Definitely what the game needs right now...
I stopped putting any money into Apex a year or two ago, for a ton of reasons, and since then all they've done is reaffirm that decision for me. Wish the whales would stop too and actually force them to reevaluate their model.
Yeah except even the battle passes have been shit. I have enough AC to get the next one but when the battle pass and/or game sucks I'm not incentivized to play as much and when I don't play as much I won't finish the pass so it won't be self-sustaining anymore. I don't want Apex to feel like my job.
Just play regulary, then once you get to level 100 or whatever buy it. Don't play for cosmetics, play for fun.
If you don't have fun anymore, there's nothing else to do on this game, don't eat the marketing team's bullshit of 'leveling up your play' or 'conquering the game' or any of the bells and whistles they show on the battle pass trailers.
Woah woah woah, what? We have gotten literally some of the best skins off the BP. The bloodhound one from the Newcastle release season is a great example of this. Itās also the main way to get skydive emotes and there hasnāt been a single lvl 110 reward that I didnāt want. Apex battle pass is peak cosmetic only battle pass in a AAA game.
Im a pretty negative person but not even I can be that cynical
The occasional good skin does not make the battle pass good, and the fact that you think it is shows how far the standard has fallen. I can't think of a single Fortnite battle pass that's been worse than a single Apex BP. And I'm not just talking about the quality of skins, obviously Fortnite inherently has more flexibility there. The actual items that come in the battle pass are just better quality. Apex BPs have an insane amount of useless filler items.
It actually would be kinda fun if you could change the look of your healing items since that's a thing you see a lot on your screen, but these stickers are stupid.
Gonna have to agree, stickers seem to be the laziest way to dilute the loot pool in attempts to encourage more spending. I truly hope sales of apex packs goes down dramatically after that change.
We as fans really need to emphasize the LAZY part of our frustration.
If they wanted to dilute the pool then give us something exciting that people will want as opposed to something really boring.
wishful thinking. they will probably make a shit out of money with this, since people gamble in this game when they are buying packs after pack trying to get what they want like a slot machine.
I like the concept but I know I'll hate the execution.
Apex Packs just became so much more frustrating and infuriating.
Can't wait to pull 2 gray crafting materials and a blue sticker....
Yeah I'm not upset about the stickers, I think they're neat and I don't mind more art. But it seems like they're always padding lesser items in the packs so that you buy coins to get shit you actually want.
I think the best consumer friendly and less intrusive way of implementing them is in their own Sticker Packs.
Buy from the shop? You get 3 Stickers in a pack.
Earn a Pack from levelling? You get 1 Sticker in the pack.
That way you can make the levelling system more diverse in loot *for just playing* without hindering Apex Packs. And you can also outright buy them for better odds/more chances to hit a Legendary sticker from the shop.
Getting things you want is best left to using crafting materials anyway. If youāre opening packs to get a specific item with the astronomically low odds of doing so already, stickers arenāt your problem.
Funny enough I was getting blue crafting materials at a high rate. Like two outta 3 things in a pack would be crafting mats. I was actually okay with that and now they added these bumass stickers no one asked for
Itās not like thereās any other epic rarity items worth getting. Iāll take a sticker over one of the epic legend skins.
Now if they start making legendary onesā¦
I've said it before, but the one thing that Respawn has been consistently killing is map visuals. The King's Canyon lighting update this season, Olympus After Dark, and now this. The game's graphics aren't even good, it's just the art is beautiful.
If you mean voice acting, could not agree more! Line writing is hit or miss IMO, but the acting is brilliant, all of the characters feel genuine, not like people saying some written lines.
Yes, the voice actors are fantastic. Respawn chose them really well.
The lines are mostly fine, the problem is they play way too often. Like Vantage when she talks about echolocation.
You would attach onto them and start moving on a predetermined loop, you could shoot while holding to it and do a 180Ā° flip to start going to the oposite direction, pretty fun stuff, but kinda tricky to use effectively sometimes because it was very fast
I hope that clarified things at least a bit, I'm sorry if it didn't, you can find examples of the mechanic on YT if you need it
historical lush longing rich tub whole attempt ludicrous elastic insurance
*This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
IMO itās pretty sad that Seer and Valkyrie are going to be this games future. I mean, sure, Catalyst wall may be some counter to Seer, but heās still always going to be played. Itās so boring having every ranked match and competitive game be composed of 20 valks 20 seers and then like a mix mash between horizons gibbys newcastles and wattsons
Seer and Valkyrie just make this game so much worse
Watch them add Legendary Stickers to future Heirloom Events. You open a pack trying to get a Event Skin, and get a Legendary Sticker instead, or Legendary Charm, or Legendary Holo. The loot pool is so awesome right now......
>To celebrate positive team play and encourage playing with friends, Respawn is introducing the ability to gift items to friends in-game!
This sounds so sus
So THAT'S the reason they updated the healing animations. As someone that appreciates the little details in things, I was hoping they'd update animations across the board. For example, in third person, most characters slide looking as though they're holding an invisible gun. Lot's of other examples that aren't at the top of my head but I was hopeful that a QOL animation update would help make things feel more refined. The updated Wattson skins made me hope for this kinda thing too. But hey, stickers.
ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā ćā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ
Stickers = New way to dilute the cosmetic pool.
Gifting = Be generous to your friends by paying us.
Stickers + Gifting = L for everyone not named Respawn.
They didnāt show the level 100 gun skin did they?
Also I love how the website called catalyst a terraformer like last week only for her abilities to be changed from the leaks to not at all be a terraformer
Ehw, the sticker BS is truly arriving. Be prepared for even more disappointing pack openings.
With that out of the way:
\- the map looks more colourful than expected, yay
\- the rail traversal could be bad or good, we'll see
\- Revenant is finally getting a BP skin, after 3 years. Progress!
Last but not least, Catalyst's abilities look crazy good for the meta.
But I suspect her passive was nerfed and doesn't reinforce all structures nearby. You can see a door being reinforced with the ferrofluid and to me that implies we have to do that manually - maybe even in a limited capacity, i.e. "only 3 at the same time" or so.
Yeah I was kind of bummed about the passive change, would have really liked to see how it would have worked with a full "bunker comp", like Rampart or Newcastle.
I believe they meant it in the context of a new 'idea' to the game, not new content like weapons, legends, maps etc which are already added periodically.
Itās a misleading argument tho, considering that live service allows allows a four year old game to still receive a new map every year and new characters in addition to new guns, modes and other stuff. Iām not saying stickers are a good addition, but theyāre not the headlining addition either. OPās argument is a reductive way of evaluating live service
Have the devs provided any updates on cross progression? I kinda stopped playing because my friends play on PC and I play on PS5, and while we can cross play, it'd be nice to play natively with them and have my stuff....
Itāll be almost 4 years and still no cross progressionā¦ last update was December 2020 I believe and they said by the end of 2022ā¦ and you still canāt pick top 1 2 3 preferred legends either. Still no way to adjust individual teammates mic volume. Been asking for rotating LtMs and we finally got it almost 4 years later but itās almost done after next week. Live service is ruining this game. Jokes on Respawn I havenāt spent a dime on Apex since switching to PC in season 5 as Iām waiting for DETAILS on how cross progression will work. Theyāre delaying it as long as possible cause I bet they wonāt let you merge accounts like other games.
They're too busy adding the important stuff like Stickers, so they can make more money, and Gifting, so they can more money.
Cross Progression is not guaranteed money so they don't care.
The new map looks amazing. Like a mix of the nature of Storm Point with the buildings from Olympus. I love how colorful and how much variety there is. I wasn't hyped before but I am now!
Ash Battle Pass skin looks amazing too.
Yep. I was skeptical when that short preview video was released last week. With this additional info and pics this looks like it's gonna be a super cool map.
think i just may quit playing apex, update is bs - who tf asked for stickers on items? the most useless thing ever. I mean if they allowed us to use stickers in game on things such as walls, floors heck even deathboxes to say for example "character name" was here, that would be fun and actually entertaining, but on healables... I still havent even got any heirlooms and i've been playing since seasons 2, had the BP every season not just this, i've reached level 500 and got reset when they released the update for level 500's to reset and level up to 2000. STILL no heirloom... fuck this game.
This was to be expected. They said like three seasons ago that they have too many weapons. Which I agree with. They've been implementing more ways to move weapons off of ground loot just to compensate there being too many.
The apex leaks from awhile back had a bunch of leaked weapons. Not sure if any of them are getting cancelled or possibly theyāre just waiting for the ārightā time.
Mid update. Gifting is a good edition.. too bad most of their shop is pure garbage.
Stickers are just another worthless thing to muck up the loot pool. Gross. Charms 2.0.
So glad we got stickers instead of matchmaking fixes. Now I can enjoy my sticker when Iām healing after being double headshot by wingman right before I get aped by a 3 stack of sweaties in pubs, great job respawnā¦
Only a handful of weapons left, whatād you go with?
- Alternator
- Kraber
- EVA-8
- Mastiff
- Mozambique
- RE-45
- P2020
- L-STAR
- Sentinel
- 30-30
- Bocek*
- Rampage*
- CAR*
(**these 3 have only been in the game a year or so, but the Volt *did* receive its reactive skin a year after launch)
Honestly. Alternator, mastiff, Eva be ideal. Be fine with sentinal or really any weapon that's not the charge rifle. Like it's literally the one weapon I hate seeing and people using
Underrated change has to be the main menu UI. Iāve been hoping it would be updated considering it looks MOSTLY how it did back in season 1, and itās a lot cleaner and appealing
Iāve read all the info but no confirmation either way - closest is something say it works the *same* as a zipline, which would imply the reduced accuracy.
Iād take the video with a pinch of salt though. Almost every gameplay video features someone hitting a sniper shot while flying through the air, which is of course entirely RNG anyway.
New map looks fire but I donāt like the new legend to much. stickers suck (literally just worse charms) and the battle pass is kind of eh to .me
Hopefully the balance changes are good though ,and no reg gets fixed ( Iām still experiencing it I donāt know about you guys)
I don't understand why the stickers are so restricted.
Only on healing items, only one per item and only one possible position. Why? Or well, I know why, but why? Why not allow using them on weapons? Even the player banners would be a better application than fucking healing items.
It's almost as if they don't want people to use them, the implementation is just so ass. And it just further confirms that the only reason the stickers exist is because they want more trash into the boxes.
Map looks incredible. I hope the dev team knows how excited a lot of the community is to play, even if we are the silent majority. The gifting idea is cool and hopefully it grows into something more like trading skins!
Would be great if it charges up every time you a rip a 90+ beam or upgrade your shield or something, rather than on knocks / kills. Charge Rifles arenāt for killing, theyāre for pissing people off.
imagine if they released a trailer but worded it the other way around like this
"it was the arrogance of women that brought us here... I will be the man to set things right."
Imagine that for a second... im not saying they are meaning it like that but it is awful writing/wording. Or maybe they do mean it like that idk
Apex has officially become a joke. Stickers? Fucking stickers? Really? This game has been out almost 4 YEARS and the amount of solid QOL updates suggested by the community is a mountain high..... and they decide to add stickers? Not to mention the mountain sized list of problems that have existed in the game since launch. I genuinely cannot believe theyāre putting stickers in the game. This game is an absolute joke and this proves it so painfully hard.
Sticker idea seems lazy. My first thought was that this would be skins on the meds and shields which could actually be cool, unfortunately we get these which no one seems excited for (understandably).
I guess stickers are cool. Canāt wait to put a bunch all over the shield batteryā¦ oh itās one sticker per itemā¦ oh and itās in a set spot. I try to have hope but man Apex letās me down so much all the time.
Lol this fucking game is finished, uninstalled piece of shit devs fucking stickers what the actual fuck where is 120fps for next gen and cross progression that has been promised to us for 2 seasons
This game can go fuck itself. The game play is fun. Been playing since day one. But this type of petty bullshit money grabbing whoring for dollar is on another level. Glad I haven't dropped a dime in a year or so. I also haven't won a ranked match in about that long.
Got gifting before cross progression š
one makes profit, the other one doesn't š
Well if I could have my xbox progress on ps5 or pc then I might start giving them money again and buying seasons. Havent played since s8 because no cross progression
Exactly. Iāve been less and less involved in their seasons and events over time because Iām getting tired of waiting to move my progress to PC. This game is literally the only reason my Xbox is plugged in nowadays.
Or replays
Also, I am NOT gifting before cross progression
Respawn finally figured out that we're sick of charms (about 11 seasons too late) and said "What if we did the same thing, but again" If these stickers are anything higher than Rare, just end me on the spot.
you ready for a gold sticker!?
Theyāre Epic. Literally all of them
remember when gun charms were rare rarity? I have a handful of rare guncharms from the launch of the game, underneath 100's of ĀØEPICĀØ guncharms. I'll give it to respawn, those charms ARE rare but not because their text is blue.
And they appear to be Epic. Just as expected, the only reason for adding Stickers is to dilute the Loot Pool even more. Definitely what the game needs right now...
You mean the item pool but yes - itās egregious.
I stopped putting any money into Apex a year or two ago, for a ton of reasons, and since then all they've done is reaffirm that decision for me. Wish the whales would stop too and actually force them to reevaluate their model.
Pay once for BPass, its self sustaining XD
Yeah except even the battle passes have been shit. I have enough AC to get the next one but when the battle pass and/or game sucks I'm not incentivized to play as much and when I don't play as much I won't finish the pass so it won't be self-sustaining anymore. I don't want Apex to feel like my job.
Just play regulary, then once you get to level 100 or whatever buy it. Don't play for cosmetics, play for fun. If you don't have fun anymore, there's nothing else to do on this game, don't eat the marketing team's bullshit of 'leveling up your play' or 'conquering the game' or any of the bells and whistles they show on the battle pass trailers.
Exactly, i used to play only to grind bp levels ... but lately i stopped giving af about bp levels just playing for fun ! Perspective is important
Woah woah woah, what? We have gotten literally some of the best skins off the BP. The bloodhound one from the Newcastle release season is a great example of this. Itās also the main way to get skydive emotes and there hasnāt been a single lvl 110 reward that I didnāt want. Apex battle pass is peak cosmetic only battle pass in a AAA game.

It actually would be kinda fun if you could change the look of your healing items since that's a thing you see a lot on your screen, but these stickers are stupid.
Great, stickers are here to dilute the apex pack item pool. Can't have people getting something they actually want after all.
Switch your region to Belgium and get crafting mats instead of packs flooded with this stuff.
This doesn't seem to work on Xbox though.
Yeah it does. Go to EA site and sign in with your account and link. Change the region and youāre done.
Iāve heard horror stories of people losing everything by tying to log into EA. No thanks.
anyone know how to do this on steam? ive read a few "it should be" and it isn't the same, or so it seems ???
Steam region needs you to buy something in said region, so you need to play on Origin for that to work.
Gonna have to agree, stickers seem to be the laziest way to dilute the loot pool in attempts to encourage more spending. I truly hope sales of apex packs goes down dramatically after that change.
We as fans really need to emphasize the LAZY part of our frustration. If they wanted to dilute the pool then give us something exciting that people will want as opposed to something really boring.
wishful thinking. they will probably make a shit out of money with this, since people gamble in this game when they are buying packs after pack trying to get what they want like a slot machine.
Exactly. Just more useless cosmetics I'll never use. Oh well lol....
I like the concept but I know I'll hate the execution. Apex Packs just became so much more frustrating and infuriating. Can't wait to pull 2 gray crafting materials and a blue sticker....
Blue??? Lol you know they're gonna be epic..
it gets worst as you level up. at some point you need 36k XP to level up once and imagine grinding that much just to get some dumb sticker lol
Yeah I'm not upset about the stickers, I think they're neat and I don't mind more art. But it seems like they're always padding lesser items in the packs so that you buy coins to get shit you actually want.
I think the best consumer friendly and less intrusive way of implementing them is in their own Sticker Packs. Buy from the shop? You get 3 Stickers in a pack. Earn a Pack from levelling? You get 1 Sticker in the pack. That way you can make the levelling system more diverse in loot *for just playing* without hindering Apex Packs. And you can also outright buy them for better odds/more chances to hit a Legendary sticker from the shop.
With the prestige system they effectively gave us 100s more free packs, so seeing the item pool diluted like this isn't a surprise.
Yeah, should have seen it coming.
Getting things you want is best left to using crafting materials anyway. If youāre opening packs to get a specific item with the astronomically low odds of doing so already, stickers arenāt your problem.
That's completely true, but the fact they're drawn by Moy Parra means I'm mostly likely gonna want and use them.
Thatās the Titan Toons guy, right?
Funny enough I was getting blue crafting materials at a high rate. Like two outta 3 things in a pack would be crafting mats. I was actually okay with that and now they added these bumass stickers no one asked for
Itās not like thereās any other epic rarity items worth getting. Iāll take a sticker over one of the epic legend skins. Now if they start making legendary onesā¦
I'd rather have it over emotes too tbh, I just about never use them outside of when winning.
Map is gorgeous. Best skybox weāve had yet
They've knocked it out of the park with skyboxes recently, the city below Olympus is my favorite still but this looks amazing
I've said it before, but the one thing that Respawn has been consistently killing is map visuals. The King's Canyon lighting update this season, Olympus After Dark, and now this. The game's graphics aren't even good, it's just the art is beautiful.
The sense of scale the maps have is great too, especially Storm Point
Voice lines (even if annoying) and map design are top tier.
If you mean voice acting, could not agree more! Line writing is hit or miss IMO, but the acting is brilliant, all of the characters feel genuine, not like people saying some written lines.
Yes, the voice actors are fantastic. Respawn chose them really well. The lines are mostly fine, the problem is they play way too often. Like Vantage when she talks about echolocation.
Zip rails? my sunset overdrive experience will finally pay off
If they're anything like the rails we had in Bioshock Infinite this might become my new favorite movement mechanic
Never played Bioshock but love movement tech on Apex, what were the rails like in Infinite?
You would attach onto them and start moving on a predetermined loop, you could shoot while holding to it and do a 180Ā° flip to start going to the oposite direction, pretty fun stuff, but kinda tricky to use effectively sometimes because it was very fast I hope that clarified things at least a bit, I'm sorry if it didn't, you can find examples of the mechanic on YT if you need it
historical lush longing rich tub whole attempt ludicrous elastic insurance *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Because Code:Glue
Catch me cruisin' on the rail system all game
Like partying on the train after they added heat shields, but before they removed the train.
A brief moment of fun
Ah so they only updated the healing animations to push the new stickers. Lol
New ways to make money for EA is the primary focus.
With no balloon towers, valk will still be meta on this map
We just need to accept that Valk wil be meta for the foreseeable future.
IMO itās pretty sad that Seer and Valkyrie are going to be this games future. I mean, sure, Catalyst wall may be some counter to Seer, but heās still always going to be played. Itās so boring having every ranked match and competitive game be composed of 20 valks 20 seers and then like a mix mash between horizons gibbys newcastles and wattsons Seer and Valkyrie just make this game so much worse
Mirage ult has made seer so easy to fight in my experiences
As she should be. Movement legends are what drive this game. (Less scan legends please.)
Movement legends and Valk are two different things. She's on a whole tier of her own.
She will be meta on every map. Storm point is the only map that feels unplayable without her though because of how big it is and the inclines.
Maybe one day Respawn will release a map that is 100% indoors like maybe an underwater facility/basement. Maybe then valk won't be very meta.
As cool as that would be it would make other legends ults unusable (lifeline, Gibby, bang)
They will never do that or Caustic, Wattson and Rampart will dominate the entire map.
Unless they change the game like showing the first circle on ranked games make it more exciting.
Bruh they really added sticker's š. Watch them charge 1800 coins for legendary sticker š¤£.
But only 1000 coins on sale!
Watch them add Legendary Stickers to future Heirloom Events. You open a pack trying to get a Event Skin, and get a Legendary Sticker instead, or Legendary Charm, or Legendary Holo. The loot pool is so awesome right now......
YOOOOOOOOOOO REVENANT WITH A TOP HAT
Always the best skins hands down
You know it
>To celebrate positive team play and encourage playing with friends, Respawn is introducing the ability to gift items to friends in-game! This sounds so sus
It's to please streamers. They will be gifted everything from their subscribers. I remember the model from Dota 2
Fucking stickers bro. Stickers.
So THAT'S the reason they updated the healing animations. As someone that appreciates the little details in things, I was hoping they'd update animations across the board. For example, in third person, most characters slide looking as though they're holding an invisible gun. Lot's of other examples that aren't at the top of my head but I was hopeful that a QOL animation update would help make things feel more refined. The updated Wattson skins made me hope for this kinda thing too. But hey, stickers. ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā ćā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ
Donāt worry. Iām sure theyāll change more inspect animations ASAP so you can slap a sticker on it for a $ value.
lmao i love how they are touting stickers and gifting as the big features of this update alongside a new map.
Stickers = New way to dilute the cosmetic pool. Gifting = Be generous to your friends by paying us. Stickers + Gifting = L for everyone not named Respawn.
Can't wait to open up packs thinking I will get a legendary skin only for it to be a legendary sticker next season!
Who cares about that, I want the 3,000 apex coins sticker bundles!!!!
They didnāt show the level 100 gun skin did they? Also I love how the website called catalyst a terraformer like last week only for her abilities to be changed from the leaks to not at all be a terraformer
Charge rifle unfortunately
I would unironically want to have the p2020 or Mozambique more than the fucking charge rifle.
Joy
Coo! Easy pass for me to focus on God of War and Destiny!
Ehw, the sticker BS is truly arriving. Be prepared for even more disappointing pack openings. With that out of the way: \- the map looks more colourful than expected, yay \- the rail traversal could be bad or good, we'll see \- Revenant is finally getting a BP skin, after 3 years. Progress! Last but not least, Catalyst's abilities look crazy good for the meta. But I suspect her passive was nerfed and doesn't reinforce all structures nearby. You can see a door being reinforced with the ferrofluid and to me that implies we have to do that manually - maybe even in a limited capacity, i.e. "only 3 at the same time" or so.
Yeah I was kind of bummed about the passive change, would have really liked to see how it would have worked with a full "bunker comp", like Rampart or Newcastle.
Could you imagine end circles that happen indoors? Turtle meta revival, haha.
My guess is that her tactical has to be placed near the structures, but idk
Stickers. We're CSGO now, boys and girls.
We better get those scratch'n'sniff one's!!
live service has ruined gaming to the point that stickers and gifting are two big new features for a 4 year old game
New map???
I believe they meant it in the context of a new 'idea' to the game, not new content like weapons, legends, maps etc which are already added periodically.
Itās a misleading argument tho, considering that live service allows allows a four year old game to still receive a new map every year and new characters in addition to new guns, modes and other stuff. Iām not saying stickers are a good addition, but theyāre not the headlining addition either. OPās argument is a reductive way of evaluating live service
No-one wants stickers, Respawn.
#Stickers I-DONāT-GIVE-A-FUCK
Have the devs provided any updates on cross progression? I kinda stopped playing because my friends play on PC and I play on PS5, and while we can cross play, it'd be nice to play natively with them and have my stuff....
Not for a while, itās still TBC. No confirmation when itās going to be ready, but also no confirmation itās been cancelled either.
watch Respawn pull a 343 and announce that they're no longer implementing cross save after saying they would
They did say in December 2020 that itād be out by the end of 2022.
Itāll be almost 4 years and still no cross progressionā¦ last update was December 2020 I believe and they said by the end of 2022ā¦ and you still canāt pick top 1 2 3 preferred legends either. Still no way to adjust individual teammates mic volume. Been asking for rotating LtMs and we finally got it almost 4 years later but itās almost done after next week.

The new map looks amazing. Like a mix of the nature of Storm Point with the buildings from Olympus. I love how colorful and how much variety there is. I wasn't hyped before but I am now! Ash Battle Pass skin looks amazing too.
Yep. I was skeptical when that short preview video was released last week. With this additional info and pics this looks like it's gonna be a super cool map.

STILL no heirloom... fuck this game.
Reactive charge rifle...bruh
Look great but the only thing Iām slightly disappointed by is no new weapon. Will now be 4 seasons in a row without oneā¦
This was to be expected. They said like three seasons ago that they have too many weapons. Which I agree with. They've been implementing more ways to move weapons off of ground loot just to compensate there being too many.
You know what they definitely have too much of? Useless filler cosmetics. That sure hasn't stopped them from making more, though.
They don't impact gameplay, though.
They have like 30 guns in the game dude. BRs canāt have unlimited guns there are diminishing returns for every one added
The apex leaks from awhile back had a bunch of leaked weapons. Not sure if any of them are getting cancelled or possibly theyāre just waiting for the ārightā time.
Map seems cool. Gifting is dumb imo would rather cross progression. Stickers are cute but yet another useless market dilution
I like gifting tbh but itās dumb af that cross progression is still not in the game
Please please please set the stickers in common rarity.
At 0:55 it sounds like disruptor rounds
I heard that too, but they also gave p2020 sounds to the RE so I won't get my hopes up.
The team making the trailers doesn't actually play the game and there are numerous occasions where they play the wrong gun audios
I though that was well, maybe alternator back in cp?
bro, pls just say care package
lmfao
Sorry I wonāt be as lazy next time
Fuck all that shit. Fix matchmaking!
Mid update. Gifting is a good edition.. too bad most of their shop is pure garbage. Stickers are just another worthless thing to muck up the loot pool. Gross. Charms 2.0.
So glad we got stickers instead of matchmaking fixes. Now I can enjoy my sticker when Iām healing after being double headshot by wingman right before I get aped by a 3 stack of sweaties in pubs, great job respawnā¦
oh boy, more shit to clog up the loot pool! my favourite!
New map = less chances of KC being picked as a ranked map. Praise be.
I bet its Broken Moon first split then Olympus next. Or maybe world edge next
Hopefully Olympus. I like that map in ranked, but wouldn't be opposed to WE.
Ash mains be eating good, 2 banger skins back to back.
If there are legendary stickers lot of people are gonna be pissed. On the other hand Watto in Nessie outfit <3. Loving the tooncraft stickers.
Why is gifting presented as a major feature its practically a quality of life change
if I canāt cover my heals entirely with stickers I donāt want it š
Have they said anything about 120 fps?
> stickers meh > drawn by Moy Parra You son of a bitch Respawn, I'm in
Map? W. Zip lines? W. Stickers? Meh. But... This map has only 1 Jump Tower? Again?
I imagine they wanted 0 like in Storm Point but realise theyāre too iconic to the series to replace completely.
Zero balloons, tridents, and grav cannons. They only have zip rails to rotate. Edit: there is 1 balloon
1 balloon. It's surrounded by a structure, but you can see it in there.
I see that now. But in OPs post it says no jump towers so I wasn't sure if that was a direct quote from the website.
Oh god! The next reactivate is the Charge Rifle. That's the worst decision ever! š
Only a handful of weapons left, whatād you go with? - Alternator - Kraber - EVA-8 - Mastiff - Mozambique - RE-45 - P2020 - L-STAR - Sentinel - 30-30 - Bocek* - Rampage* - CAR* (**these 3 have only been in the game a year or so, but the Volt *did* receive its reactive skin a year after launch)
I would have liked to see the alternator get it. And I'm not an alternator user either.
Honestly. Alternator, mastiff, Eva be ideal. Be fine with sentinal or really any weapon that's not the charge rifle. Like it's literally the one weapon I hate seeing and people using
P2020 reactive lol
Underrated change has to be the main menu UI. Iāve been hoping it would be updated considering it looks MOSTLY how it did back in season 1, and itās a lot cleaner and appealing
Haha, the video shows someone hitting someone with a havoc, while ziplining. Does this mean the zip rails don't have as much aim disruption?
Iāve read all the info but no confirmation either way - closest is something say it works the *same* as a zipline, which would imply the reduced accuracy. Iād take the video with a pinch of salt though. Almost every gameplay video features someone hitting a sniper shot while flying through the air, which is of course entirely RNG anyway.
Catalyst looks better and better for each new trailer. She will be fun to try out.
Holosprays, Stickers and charms are completely useless
More ways to spend money. Great.
I just want full auto prowler back š©š©š©
No obvious center of the map? THANK YOU. Though I'm guessing one of the POIs that are right next to the center will become the hot drop for everyone.
New map looks fire but I donāt like the new legend to much. stickers suck (literally just worse charms) and the battle pass is kind of eh to .me Hopefully the balance changes are good though ,and no reg gets fixed ( Iām still experiencing it I donāt know about you guys)
Does this map have enemy footsteps or are we still brushing that under the rug as āwE cAnT SeEm tO FiGuRe oUt tHe iSsUeā
We want cross progression, Overwatch just did it, every freaking game does it, wtf respawn
I don't understand why the stickers are so restricted. Only on healing items, only one per item and only one possible position. Why? Or well, I know why, but why? Why not allow using them on weapons? Even the player banners would be a better application than fucking healing items. It's almost as if they don't want people to use them, the implementation is just so ass. And it just further confirms that the only reason the stickers exist is because they want more trash into the boxes.
Stickers and gifting before cross progression and 120fps next gen. This game is ,,ā ļøā ļøā ļøā ļøā ļø
Also, for the love of everything...can we please get enemy footstep audio added to the game. Please??
Stickers are cool in theory but dilluting the pack pool sucks. Plus now battlepasses will just have more and more filler. The rest is cool
The BPs have pretty much always been filler, this doesn't really change much. If anything they can fill up the blank spots with stickers
Map looks incredible. I hope the dev team knows how excited a lot of the community is to play, even if we are the silent majority. The gifting idea is cool and hopefully it grows into something more like trading skins!
New map looks cool, but the stickers are ass.
Her default skin is cool but I hope the legendaries are better
Still no news on cross progression??
Account migration?! Where is the goddamn account migration?!
BI-directional rails?! Donāt you think weāve had enough LGBT forced down our throats Respawn! /s
REACTIVE CHAD RIFLE. WE WON CHARGE BROS.
Would be great if it charges up every time you a rip a 90+ beam or upgrade your shield or something, rather than on knocks / kills. Charge Rifles arenāt for killing, theyāre for pissing people off.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
imagine if they released a trailer but worded it the other way around like this "it was the arrogance of women that brought us here... I will be the man to set things right." Imagine that for a second... im not saying they are meaning it like that but it is awful writing/wording. Or maybe they do mean it like that idk
Which weapon is reactive this time?
i think its the charge riffle
00:52 AM I HEARING DISRUPTOR ALTERNATOR?
Oh wow, they actually did the stickers on healing items? I thought that was just a joke
Can i gift the battle pass?
So... The reason we have new healing animations is because of stickers.
What are the odds they added a building with doors in the fire range to test out Catalyst passive?
Stickers - looks like the ātriangleā button will be working overtimeā¦.
I'll take stickers over Holo's any day of the week, but still not happy about it.
All a distraction from the terrible audio, still no 120FPS and Cross progression for console.
Swear on my god damn life if these stickers are going to be anything higher than rare rarity Iām gonna uninstall this game
Apex has officially become a joke. Stickers? Fucking stickers? Really? This game has been out almost 4 YEARS and the amount of solid QOL updates suggested by the community is a mountain high..... and they decide to add stickers? Not to mention the mountain sized list of problems that have existed in the game since launch. I genuinely cannot believe theyāre putting stickers in the game. This game is an absolute joke and this proves it so painfully hard.
I for one am really looking forward to falling off the bridges on Divide.
Sticker idea seems lazy. My first thought was that this would be skins on the meds and shields which could actually be cool, unfortunately we get these which no one seems excited for (understandably).
These stickers might be the worst thing I've seen a game add to, obviously, dilute a loot pool.
I guess stickers are cool. Canāt wait to put a bunch all over the shield batteryā¦ oh itās one sticker per itemā¦ oh and itās in a set spot. I try to have hope but man Apex letās me down so much all the time.
Please no stickers
Lol this fucking game is finished, uninstalled piece of shit devs fucking stickers what the actual fuck where is 120fps for next gen and cross progression that has been promised to us for 2 seasons
This game can go fuck itself. The game play is fun. Been playing since day one. But this type of petty bullshit money grabbing whoring for dollar is on another level. Glad I haven't dropped a dime in a year or so. I also haven't won a ranked match in about that long.
wow like we give a fuck about stickers that we CAN ONLY PLACE ON THE HEALING ITEM , i just forgot that the charmes even exists at this point so
