One thing is really impressing me so far: all gear has a strong identity. Every weapon feels unique, and the rarity nature of the loot makes playing addictive. In a very short time, I've learned the ins and outs of most weapons/items and characters. I can't say the same about something like PUBG, despite my higher playtime in that game.

I don't know what is is about the bot, but I swear my odds of being completely riddled with bullets for a swift death drastically increases when I use pathfinder, nothing about his body suggests a particular egregious hitbox.

Finally found my mojo: Wingman. I finally feel comfortable with a gun and I can usually dish out consistent damage even from a distance.

While I didn't make it out alive, my team finally won a match. I feel partially responsible for the victory because I chipped the last team's health quite a lot and also revived my teammate in the last round between us and #2 squad.

This game is addicting.

Does it make you want to switch to PC?

Just curious. I know a TON of people (friends of younger brothers) who switched from console only gaming to fortnite because of how much better it played on PC. I kind of want to make a thread about it, its an interesting phenomenon

It doesn't make me want to switch over to PC because I have tons of friends I play with on XBL and I also have two X1's (one at home and one at work) so it's easier to play wherever I want and not be locked into a PC setup. But I am jealous of the controls for FPS shooters with a mouse!

Lol.

Jokes aside I enjoy the TTK in this game. You can go down pretty quick with well-placed shots, but it's nearly impossible for someone to outright jump you without you having the chance to shoot back, turn on an ability or something to have a chance of a reversal or an escape. There's a couple issues with the game but TTK isn't one of them.
unless they got a kraber

Noob question here: I'm using Peacekeeper since I started playing, it's one of my favourite weapons but I have a problem: Most of the time between each shot I'm doing a melee attack and it kills me more times that I'd want to admit.

Initially I thought I was hitting R3 without noticing but I'm positive I'm not. My new theory is that if you hit R2 to shoot before the weapon is ready for a second shot, it triggers a melee attack instead. It's a streach but I don't know what's causing it...

Just got my first win, with 2 random, Arabic speaking team mates. The ping system is a phenomenal addition to this game.

It starts at ~4:40est, so about 4 and a half hours from now.

It seems similar to Friday Fortnite where it isn't a direct competition with others, but more about teams playing normal matches with tracking on their kills and wins so most of the streamers will be there to watch, and the main PlayApex stream will likely be jumping around looking for highlights.

It's been a long time since a BR had me anxious to leave work early just to play. I'm having a blast with this game. For once, a BR with a high skill ceiling, finally. There's room to improve in like every aspect of this game except looting which is so simple and streamlined that it's by far the best looting in any BR

That sounds pretty cool actually. I've only seen Shroud and DrDisrespect play and its been a lot of fun. Could easily see myself going down the rabbit hole for these tournament style matches.

I never post videos of myself, but this match was clutch move after clutch move. I only had saved the last 5 minutes and most of that was me running around looking for loot.

So we dropped into the airship docks with a few other squads and barely escaped, our Mirage killed a few, we did a couple revives, one respawn and ran like hell to beat the storm because we had nothing. Managed to find some medkits and ammo, but not much. We took out the kill leader and their partner as they came up behind us from the storm as well, that was surprising. I tried to get my team to go through that tower thing that takes you up to Hydro Dam but they went left and got in a fire fight, nothing I could do and they died, circle was closing in.

Rest of the match was me hunting for any loot possible as there we got down to just 3 squads, here's the end.

Got yelled at by some brazilian dudes who were my teammates while playing my first game. Got 4 kills and we won. But i didn't know how to push to talk or what the keyboard shortcut is for type chat. Any help with that?

I am playing on PC with a DS4 controller. (Dont hate) so what would be the push to voice chat button on that?

Can you even ever see yourself as the Champion of a match, or do you always see some other squad so everyone gets a chance at the champion slayer bonus?
Because goddamn I've had some stellar wins but never get called Champion the round after. Bums me out lol.

What is the requirement for being Champion, then? Just have a higher score in the round before than anyone joining the new game?
Not sure exactly. I got named champion along with my teammates in the party we had just formed, though I came in 2nd the prior match with randoms.

I've had a couple wins but still haven't found a character that I really really like. Caustic is fun for shutting things down, but I want more of an offensive character. Tried a couple of others but just haven't clicked with one yet.

Mirage is fun. Decoy is very good for spotting enemies and confusing people in a fight.

You know what's really nice about this game? There is no univerally best "meta" loadout.

Ninja is running around with a LMG and a shotgun and playing . Shroud is running around with a 301/99 and a Wingman. MoonMoon is running around with whatever he can get his hands on as he swings in with Pathfinder. Tim is running around with a Scout/Longbow and whatever. Seeing plenty of Triple Takes and other auto weapons. Everyone is maximizing their success with their weapons. And they're all playing different characters.

What a game.

Hey guys I made this video I hope it helps you bring out your inner martial artist.

Caustic spam in the final circle always works. I nearly botched it too, lmao, then again it was my first match with increased sensitivity and FOV. Not sure I want to use it in the future, we'll see.

I've noticed that barring a little bit of garbage (Mozambique lol) the weapons are surprisingly balanced. I think that's part of the reason it is blowing up so quick, there are so many different viable playstyles.

SHame that if your outside of the circle, downed, and your teammate is reviving you, the damage you take will still be lethal if he doesn't revive you in time.
