First night I was way more successful than my second night. Get owned in pretty much every firefight. I think I might need a new PC to be competitive in this game... although you can make it pretty far by playing stealthily and generally avoiding conflict until late in the match.
And man this type of game is compelling. I hadn't played much BR before this but it's a goddamn RUSH, when you are down to 2 or 3 squads left. Even when we lose it's really exciting and just makes me want to queue up again immediately. What a game.

he's the only character that really hinges on other people wandering into big obvious objects. everyone else can use their powers much more actively
So, what's considered to be some of the better weapons to look for? I've been playing, but always forget the name and the look of the gun.
Is it true that playing on the same IP address (IE, roommates on the same connection) will not work with Apex Legends at the moment?
Have seen this off and on on Xbox. Just chalked it up to latency issues, but have definitely noticed, yeah.
It's weird, on console so far I've seen almost none of either. I bought Mirage day one and have been mostly playing him, and I've never seen anyone on my team try to pick him, and I've only encountered another one in a match once. Seen a few Caustics, but still, not many. Mirage seems pretty good. People get tricked by the decoy over and over which is fun for setting up flanks. His ult is cool, but I mistime it a lot because I'm not very good, haha. I also tend to use it more aggressively, using the cloaking aspect to set up flanks or just reposition. Anyway, yeah, Mirage is cool.
You can mute them in the squad menu (pressing options then R1 on PS4).
Glad to know I'm not alone!
Yeah, I was down on this simply because it felt (and still kind of feels tbh) like classic Titanfall game design has died for this game, but after playing it the last few nights, as someone who has never really been interested in the Battle Royale games due to how they've appeared from a game mechanics perspective, I'm really enjoying this.
I had a pretty similar game to what you describe last night.
I also was playing with a friend and we had a third random player. I sucked in this game and had been constantly getting downed and caught without gear/weapons/items. I spent the majority of the game spectating and was actually respawned in TWICE.
The second respawn came at the very tail end of the match as we were down to the final/penultimate ring I think. I get dropped in and it's my squad against another, fighting it out for glory right at the end. I get dropped in and I have nothing, which was pretty much the name of the match for me in general. Find a Peacekeeper shotgun and a few shells left in a chest right where I drop in.
My buddy and the other guy are fighting with the other team and I'm not really sure what to do as I have literally nothing but a shotgun, so I try to just play super cheeky. My two teammates get dropped and they start zeroing in on me and I pop out and take down the last two guys in a 1 v 2 gunfight with nothing but that shotgun and my ability to strafe.
My only two kills and productive moments of action in that whole match were literally at the last possible moment and it was just enough to save the team. If I hadn't have been respawned that second time right at the end, we would have lost. It felt so clutch it was insane.
Thank god. Discovered that it's not just me with the audio glitches - seems many Sony TV models are affected.
Nop, you can just try tank shield guy and straight after the teleport lady and you should see pretty big difference.
I hope they add some stats soon to see those speeds and whatever other differences they might have.
hey guys, is anyone having blue screen error on PS4 ? i got it 3 times today during character select but it was ok last night
Got another win yesterday. Kills were split quite even with 5, 4, 3. I got three because I was the close range of the group. None of us had mics and just relied on the ping system. This show you that even with basic communication smart players can really work well as a team.
Whenever I play with my friend he keeps having connectivity issues with the game. It will kick him out of the game AND the party we are in on PSN.
The weird thing is this happens in literally no other game. Not Fortnite, PUBG, Rainbow Six Siege etc, so I'm starting to think it's some weird error going on with the game.

After having realized Apex defaults to using the integrated graphics instead of the Nvidia GPU in laptops, my game runs so smooth now! Like, I was honestly tempted to purchase Xbox Live just so I can at least play it on the One lol.
I think a big problem with close / mid range firefights right now is that there are only a few guns that can drop someone from 200 HP when accounting for reasonable errors in accuracy.
If we have only 80% accuracy (which is quite high, but potentially realistic for a close ranged firefight) then the SMGs struggle to kill their target.
That means you need to reload or switch weapon, which is problematic because that drastically increases the time to kill.
As a result, you're better off using weapons with higher damage/higher minimum capacity, regardless of range.
The spitfire, devotion and R301 outperform SMGs, even up close because they have better odds to drop a guy without needing to reload.
Not only that, but those weapons actually hit like a truck anyway. They have high-single shot damage which is important when peeking / taking quick shots at people at mid-range, and minimal recoil which means they can be used up to mid-long range.
Titanfall 2 had balance issues but they weren't as prominent because of the low time to kill. You can make anything work in Titanfall 2, but here we have entire categories of weapon which are, in my opinion, not that effective.

Holy crap, finally everything clicked with my friends and I. Doing a battle with another squad, I jumped off the bridge into a clearing picked off two. Their third member came through guns blazing, but I had no more ammo!
Suddenly my friend, who was Wraith yells he created a portal and jumped down, shot the other end and teleported us on the top of the bridge...shit was pretty epic!

I don't mean 'no one cares' in the sense that no one is trying and everyone's just running around like assholes for 20 minutes, I was speaking more to the sense that if you do great, great but everyone forgets by the next match, if not, whatever, everyone forgets by the next match, and specifically regarding the post I was responding to, things like your kill stats mean nothing to anyone but yourself so it's not worth getting worked up over. Personally, I changed my stat tracker to something useless as soon as I figured out how.
I think once I get the sensitivity and brightness settings sorted. I keep playing with the response curves and feel I'm getting closer to an ideal sensitivity on Xbox, but it's still not quite right yet. Hopefully I get that sorted soon.
Brightness is a little different...whatever I set it to, it either seems a bit too dark, or washed out on my monitor. I'll keep playing with it too.
That and any more Xbox people that would like to squad up would be lovely. :)

was just trying to find this.
everyone has the same run speed, same health, same jump height. if someone was running faster it's because their weapon was holstered.
You probably see a lot of them because they can produce decoys that look like them. 😉
Well oh damn, I still dont 100% believe it before its tested or shown on video.
I know, never believe anyone, even yourself.
Only way to actually know it is to test it.
There is many times that devs say something that wasnt actually true before too.
Have you tested it yourself or have some video where its tested then?
Dope game, got my first win a night ago on a team hard carrying me(I was essentially just there to revive my teammates). Realized that unlike TF2, I actually like the shotguns in this.
Bring back the Volt, and someone who can wallrun, and this game is literal perfection. Respawn did it again.

They're not lying to you mate. If you need to test it, by all means do, but why would they lie?
I never said lie, there is multiple people working on the game, there might be missinformation in their end, there might be bugs and who knows what.
Im sure they have same speed if dev says so but not 100% sure before its tested because the illusion what they give is so good that different heroes have different speed.
Just got my first won with 6 kills, feels good.
Circles get small pretty quick at the end. I had 9 thermite grenades and spammed them at the last squad while we rushed them down. This experience has also made the Scout my new favorite gun, there's almost no recoil!

Dude, if you ever run alongside your teammates, at full speed with no weapons in hand, you'll very quickly notice everyone keeps pace because everyone has the same run speed. It's like Overwatch: Rein feels slow because he's huge and has big head bobs, where Genji is way shorter and bobs in small movements. Yet both have the exact same walking speed.
