I am back into this after leaving in season 1. I am really struggling to get downs and kills, I'm emptying whole clips into people and they seem to do the same to me but I'm downed and they just keep on trucking

god I so want to wait by a totem and toss a Caustic ult in once people start teleporting back
Had some awesome fucking games yesterday. Got a few wins with some really fun engagements in Capitol City. The lava rift really helps with making that area less of a pain in the ass to fight in. I'm glad those two high rises aren't next to each other anymore and in general I find the third partying to be less in Capitol now.
Got two wins in pubs in my first two games, Prowler is goood
Real MVP the teammate who kept crawling towards where you were before, so he didn't give away your position!

Which is why I'm loving the L-Star right now. All I need is a sight, some ammo and I'm good to go. Never really having to reload is great also.
Im really enjoying Wattson, too. Might make her my main this season instead of Gibby.
So, one of my least favorite weapons and one of my least played legends. This season is full of surprises so far.
That's a waste. One well placed trap is enough and is hilarious.
Won a match as a team of two last night. We never saw anyone until close to the end when I got sniped at the end of Round 3. Mirage teammate was in Round 4-6 cautiously looking for the last player and used a decoy to flush them out. We won the match with only one kill.
Are any of the bonus legends worth getting, or worth avoiding? I am having fun and may get the battle pass, and I almost have enough red credits for a new character.

just died to a 188 damage sentinel shot as Gibby. i'm gonna guess that it was with the battery power up because god damn, that shit was kraber level damage. maybe i should probably give that gun another shot
edit: maybe this was actually a kraber lol, don't think the sentinel can do that much damage

Octane's probably the least useful right now, but I still have fun with him.
Caustic and Wattson are probably the most useful, though both are situational.
Oh that's smooth! Makes me remember of another Mirage who ran into the opposing team pretending to be a decoy and they didn't even try to hit him once, and then fired them from the back while his teammates where sandwiching them. This is why I always shoot a decoy no matter what!
As for his ultimate, I feel it's trickier to pull it off. I mean, with players with bad headphones, sure, but I'm too used to track Mirage by the sound of his footsteps anyway, they can't really escape players with good headphones.
From reddit:
That's me, I feel seen! I will never say no to the devotion though.
no gonna lie late last season when i saw a devotion i picked that shit up. would shred. so yeah, i mourn that gun. I mourn the G7 too. they did her dirty. don't even pick up the G7 anymore. RIP
Damn when is that out?Revenant Twitch Prime skin is sick.
Yep. They rightfully reclassified Pathfinder away from support. If the leaks are to be believed, Loba (little girl from the trailer) is one of the next legends and is likely going to be support. Not healing based, but loot based as all her abilities stem from being able to find and acquire loot.
But even with her, we could still use a lifeline rework or another support based hero. I kind of like the idea of someone being a shield based version of Lifeline. Or a hero based around defensive barriers. Maybe something straight out of Doc from Siege where you have a throwable dart that can overcharge (25HP or so) health or be able to revive downed allies. Downed allies would go through an animation either the same time or shorter than a traditional revive.
In other news, I have pretty much only played Pathfiner because grapple is life and I can't live without it. But damn, I've been loving Caustic recently. He comes in so clutch. Won me 2 games last night.
Been playing bloodhound due to challanges and I almost forgot what a terrible character she is.
And R-99 is now terrible. It's like the energy weapons before in that it needs an attachment to be viable, so unless you have a purple mag near I wouldn't bother with it. The carbine, Flatline and prowler are all better choices now.

Fighting words.
Anyway, came across these supposed leaked abilities for a future legend that might tie into the dev tweet about how fans of Titanfall will be excited soon.
Kuben Blisk - Elite Mercenary
- Passive: Interrogation — "Executing an enemy will reveal the location of their allies for 10 seconds."
- Tactical: Throwing Knife — "Deals 20 damage and marks the target. Killing a marked target rewards double credits."
- Ultimate: Payday — Squad kills award credits. Spend credits on powerful supplies."
Are you playing a different game? The R-99 feels just as good. The nerf is barely noticeable.
Too many times I unload a full clip into someone and am left wondering why they're not dead.
Unless you're good enough hit most of your shots on the head it's not as effective. I'm seeing more and more streamers and predator players using other weapons.
I personally made the prowler my replacement. It's fairly easy to hit headshots with the burst and its shreds with selectfire.
I'm sure Lstar is better on paper but I just hate firing that thing.
R99 nerf was needed but I think it should have been a pure burst damage gun. The issue with it in previous seasons was minimal recoil and with a blue/purple mag you had so much room for error if you missed shots as that thing would just keep firing.
The nerf should have been to mag sizes for the thing. Make it a weapon that can MELT someone quick if you're on target but if you miss you may not finish them off.
Not sure the outcry against BH. Abilities are far from pointless and I'm glad when a teammate indicates we are following someone with the passive cause we stop running carelessly and pay attention. Also he can really prevent people trying to escape basically helping you finish off squads with passive tracking. Also the ability is great if pinned down to give locations. Sure it can give you away but in some or most cases they already know where you are so it's only intel for your team.
His recent update pattern has slowly resembled Gibraltar and I think with a few more tweaks he will be strong legend at some point soon.

There's a link in the OP under the trailers in a quote. The discord is pretty quiet though.
I have so many points to potentially spend on stuff, but no idea what to do with them. Thought about getting some Quips for Wattson…
has me hella hyped if true.
I don't know who that is, but
Throwing Knives
BH's Passive is 100% his best ability. Just knowing someone is near is big.
I do think his tactical needs some work. The cooldown is WAY too long and the pulse is so small. It won't even scan the entirety of a building with some of the bigger ones in Worlds Edge.
Some suggestions.
Keep it the same, lower cooldown substantially.
Increase its range
Massively increase its range but revert it to its launch mechanic of only pinging the location of the person AT THE TIME of the pulse.
It would also be interesting to have the pulse maybe go out in a burst. First pulse is as is. Second one goes double as far but doesn't track enemies. Or maybe it just detects people but won't tell you where they are.
His Ult is ok when done by itself. If paired with a Bangy its basically cheating. I remember once I had a friend playing Bangalore for a challenge and we head an enemy bloodhound activate his ult. My friend panicked and shot his smoke. Me: " OH NO WHAT HAVE YOU DONE"
we got wiped.
The issue I have with bloodhound is that her scan gives away your position and is more often than not detrimental to your attack. If they're close enough to scan then they're close enough that you can hear where they are anyway.
The ult is decent, but again, the noise she makes during it can also give away your position.
If her scan was invisible or at least inaudible she'd be much better.
Edit: I've always assumed bloodhound was female...I'm pretty sure a female voices them. I don't really follow the lore so apologies.

I played Bloodhunter a ton yesterday, and I thought they were in a pretty good spot. Their ult is strong now in a fight, and I had a few opportunities where I started downing people, and it felt insane how long my ult remained active. I don't know how they could buff them short of maybe reducing the cooldowns on the ultimate and tactical abilities.
I like the passive and think it helps to make BH the best tracker. It feels great being able to have an idea where people are or where they went after a fight. Also, I think you can't remove the tactical scan cue, because it would be insanely strong to have a scan your opponent has no way to react too. I can imagine situations where BH scans and immediately starts shooting you, and you're sitting there wondering if it is a hacker and how they saw you like that.

I think the only thing Bloodhound needs is a headbox size reduction and they'd be fine.
The scan still reveals his location which suuuucls. He would be so much better if they just swapped it with pulse blade. The ult is fun but super loud.
Pathfinder can fit two grapples into one CD of the pulse also—and grapple is beyond insane. Hell, Gibby's dome is shorter than the scan...it's pretty brutal compared to everything else. They added an entire 10 seconds to wraith's phase and it's now on the same timer as pulse. Considering BH is recon, it would atleast be nice if a pulse that tracks nobody cuts the CD in half. It would encourage using it much more to double check spots.
But I think the massive head is the single worst thing. I see plenty of people play Lifeline and never use any abilities, just the hitbox + built in faster heal makes her good. Passively being bloodhound kinda sucks.

Just installed a 400mb high speed connection in my business which is where I also have my xbox. Holy shit I cannot understate how noticeably better playing Apex is since it was installed. I'm now convinced all the times I was dying in the past and scratching my head like "how'd he kill me?" were probably 85% of the time just me having a shitty connection. Today I was downing most people I would get into 1v1's with without changing anything about my play style.
Bloodhound is supposed to be this expert tracker so why the fuck are they the loudest character in the game? Maybe you should get a notification when you're spotted like with Crypto, but Bloodhound's location should definitely not be revealed. And the ult could do without the *heavy breathing*. I think it's the only ability in the game right now that's actively bad for you most of the time.
People have wanted this. The pulse should only have a notification of (YOU'VE BEEN SPOTTED)
I think beast of the hunt is fine though. The super speed and increased visibility (once you get used to it) is nice.
I'm really feeling the Hemlock this season. Being able to consistently kill with just the bare bones weapon without reloading is nice.
Me too. The single fire is really, really good now, and I've always liked the burst for closer range. It's probably my favorite AR now.
Maybe you're underestimating how much it helps the enemy. We usually kill the BH within 5 seconds and laugh about how they pinpointed their exact location for the whole duration. I think it's a worthwhile tradeoff only if there's a Bangalore on your side.
