A friend asked me to import an strike pack for xbox one from amazon which arrived yesterday. Due the pandemic I couldn't deliver it to him until who knows when, so he told me that I could use it if I wanted to test it.
Im kinda tempted since I want to know how does it feel to use paddles, but also i have read people mentioning that the strike pack is used for cheating, so I dont know if I want to use it (Besides not wanting to use the brand new accesory from my friend)
At least I watched a video where the add on gives you auto aim on Apex, and to be hobest I would be baffled if that was possible on Playstation/Xbox

I was looking through what it does, and it basically does things like rapidly scope in and out to increase autoaim tracking and add right stick inputs to counteract weapon recoil. Definitely some shitty, macro bullshit, and anyone that uses them is a scrub.
You can just use them for the paddles, and they're probably fine for that.
1. The cheat options are actually crap. Like it is just using macros to aim for you. It doesn't give you auto aim, it has no means of running any code that interfaces with the game or OS
2. You can use a strike pack without cheating, just as you can use an arcade stick without using turbo controls, or a cronus max converter without cheating.
I have used a strike pack before but I have never used any of the 'cheat' options. As far as paddles go it's pretty plug and play, the cheats you would have to go out of your way to activate. I think you have to configure it on PC for that, or something like that. Either way, you can't just stumble into cheating with it.
I say that the cheat options are crap, because it's just smoke and mirrors pushed by the company making the pack, mostly. Yes it can do things like R301 perfect recoil control, but it can't know what gun you're using so you have to set it each time you pick a gun off the floor, or anything like that. Pretty useless if you ask me. My friend said he tested it out in firing range and felt that it also sort of overrides your own input, so it will make it feel like you're sort of fighting your own controller at times.
It seems like the kind of thing that would help bad players improve a little bit, but would actually harm good players. I wouldn't worry about using it to get cheap paddles. Just don't cheat, it's as simple as that.
Has anyone experimented with the per optic sensitivity settings? I've recently increased the sensitivity of my 3 and 4 times scopes drastically, and I feel it helps me better control the recoil of automatic weapons, without hurting my accuracy much.

They're too chicken to implement a leaving penalty in non-ranked but also won't implement a solo mode which would help alleviate all the quitters. It is practically impossible to play solo because the minute people get knocked down they leave to go queue up another match.
I guess they really weren't ready for this season with the comic last chapter is just black and white.
they desperately need to add an "archives" or something to the game to contain all the previous seasons' stories, the shorts, and especially the twitter exclusive comics and lore bits
the twitter stuff is especially impossible to find after a certain point
Man, the more I play with Fuse the more happy I feel. His playstyle is actually incredibly well balanced and with just a couple tweaks to his kit via his ultimate, I think Fuse is a monster.
With Olympus being the new split and Fuse really benefitting from an outdoor environment, he'll likely see growth after a while. I'm going to stick with him for the long haul! I main Rev but I think switching to Fuse is the better alternative!

I have no idea why, but when I match-make I lazer people and wipe whole squads, but when I roll premade with my two friends I'm a potato 🤣
Being able to use grenades as a primary weapon is hella fun.
Yeah, that's one of his perks too, especially when landing from a drop! His knuckle cluster can be insanely good to get a quick knock and allow for immeditate pressure! His abilities are really overshadowed by all of the other legends, probably because we've all been so spoiled.
But in the end, grenades are literally so under-valued in this game that so often I see players just run past them. Fuse's style really provides that very natural feel of what a true FPS has always been about: tactical grenade usage.
Yeah, ditto. Is there any sort of SBMM when playing solo in pubs? I've wondered if maybe I'm more likely to get paired against comparably skilled teams when playing solo vs when playing in teams with people who have been playing this much longer than I have. But then again, I still get strings of harsh games when playing solo, too.
I'd say maybe, but someone can be looting my friends box in front of me and I'd be hitting air for a whole clip, vs. sniping octanes off jump pads from across the map when I'm solo.
Finding way better loot, and not just in the balls that drops. Assuming that's part of the event too?
Joke's on us...they fixed the loot table for one day...

Regarding the teammates part, do you actually want to play with people? One of my friend is mostly a solo player as well, doesn't want to be bothered by bad teammates and just want to enjoy the shooting, so he's launching solo in Duo. That way, he knows he can mostly take a team of two by himself (while a team of 3 is way more difficult) and he's having a lot of fun actually.
Saying that as he was about to leave the game before the solo option was made available, and that changed his enjoyment of the game quite a lot.
I never heard Wattson speak so much, and damn, that french accent feels so forced (I'm french). It's funny to hear her in the game and overall, but 3 minutes of that accent was a bit too much for me.
funny, I'm finding even less loot. like most of my games have been fucking terrible
edit: like the 6th game with garbage loot on drop. fix the mother fucking loot respawn. jesus.
Nah, I'm not looking to play solo, I just do it most of the time because the people I used to play with stopped and/or I play at awkward, irregular, inconsistent times. I definitely prefer Apex as teams of 3 honestly and don't look to deliberately play as a solo, one man army.
Preferably I'd have two friends that played regularly together but I've not had that since the first 6 months of the game really. I'll occasionally party up with decent randoms I'll get matchmade with, which is a rarity. But I actually did just that a little bit ago funnily enough.

Had a contested drop in a match in Turbine. Picked up an RE-45 which I never really use, and I straight up beamed some people with it. I guess the bullet magnetism on it is quite strong, at least on consoles (and with a 1x2 sight attached).
This clip also is a good example of just how strong/useful/necessary teamshooting as a squad is.
Just look at those RE-45 bullets curve towards those faces. I sort of suspect the 1x2 sight gives the gun even more bullet magnetism/aim assist, cause damn. I should definitely consider running it more often.
Starting to think the only time I have fun at Apex is when playing Kings Canyon. Something about that map just works for me. Olympus is good and technically a "better" map but the flow in KC is so much better. Maybe it's the fact that KC has been out since the beginning but if ranked splits were going to be Worlds Edge and Olympus next season, I would skip the entire thing.
RE-45 is my favorite light ammo weapon in the game and it's incredibly strong if you nab
it on first drop. It melts people with zero attachments on it and it's great close quarters.
SBMM is just ruthless in this game. God forbid I win 2 games in a row. Guaranteed my third lobby is gonna be filled with Master/Predator 3 stack teams while I'm stuck with 2 level 50 players. The solo experience seriously sucks sometimes.
Lets head this way, i got 20bullets, sniper with no scope, no cells or battery, fuck i hate clowns who want to rush rush when people have nothing
Kings canyon is great and by far my favorite map. I think a lot of what makes it is in the narrower distances between places and everywhere is very multilayered in terms of height.
On another note, i thought they were doing multi layered storytelling this season ? I was expecting some kind of map impact on march 30th and another video.
Were they playing Duos?
Also, I'm glad we're getting back to some lore for the original Legends, it felt like a lot of stuff was geared toward all the new arrivals (barring the awesome Pathfinder short of course).
Also also, they put a lot of emphasis about not fighting in the drop ship. I'm probably reading way too much into this, but I think it gives more credence to the fact that they can and do canonically die in the Games but are brought back, but this wouldn't happen in the drop ship.
Yowww what's this? Did Wraith do something to Bangalore in another timeline or something? Interesting...
Lol yeah. Last split I'd made it to within the last ~600 RP of Diamond solo queuing (18 RP outside of Plat 1) and it was like the game just flipped a switch and decided "no more competent squadmates for you from matchmaking, you must hard carry to earn Diamond". It became legitimately impossible to even place within the top ten, let alone winning an initial squad fight with the people filling my squad at that point.
I was trying to grind that final division of Plat the night before split reset and I just couldn't do it as the only way I could even gain any RP at that point was hard bailing on the players it'd pair me with and playing as a super selfish rat, and I just wasn't wanting to do that as it was way too time consuming/not fun.
As a solo, Plat is definitely when Ranked "gets serious". Plat 2+, you'll start to get nothing but Plat 4 or lower teammates it feels like and there's extremely low odds that they are going to be much of a benefit to your performance, and far greater odds that they were matchmade with you as an additional challenge to overcome.
Custom DualSense from Aim Controllers
£108 using one of their discount codes. It was actually my friend that bought it but then he decided he didn't want it because while it was shipping he learned to play claw. I can play claw, but I find it uncomfortable so I was keen to buy it off him.
In any case, it's probably the best controller I've ever owned. The combination of DualSense features such as haptics, overall formfactor and the back paddles make me want to use this pad for everything. Obviously for Apex it helps quite a bit.
For me, the biggest advantage to having the paddles is being able to turn 'hold to crouch' on, and then you can b-hop and crouch spam much more comfortably because it reduces the number of circle presses by half. I could play hold to crouch on claw but holding a button while clawing is honestly so uncomfortable that I don't find it worth the effort.
I'm probably going to order another one when I get paid again, just on account of this one inevitably malfunctioning at some point and not wanting to wait for another build.

Ok, so this video clarifies that Bangalore was NOT a Pilot. We know her brother was, so the knife could have belonged to him? Bangalore was so hostile, so it seems like Wraith (or another Wraith from this or another dimension) did something to Bangalore or her brother at some point.. Damn. What a tease!
I've been looking for a PS5 paddle controller! Thanks! I will check this out.Custom DualSense from Aim Controllers

It's because, from my experience, there is a massive difference in skill between Gold 1 and Platinum 4. Thing is, you can still just float through Gold even if you're not very good, but the moment those players hit Platinum 4, they get absolutely destroyed. That is what my Ranked experience has been since Season 1.
I got reset to the Stone Age in ranked. It's going to be a long journey before I even see platinum. I think I'm in Silver II at the moment but the lobbies are easier than pubs still.
I made it to Platinum IV (solo) last night, and I now have to make the decision I do in every split of whether I stop playing Ranked now for the rest of the season or actually try, against all odds, to reach Diamond solo.
The farthest I've ever gotten is halfway through Platinum III, but I don't knoooooow. I wasn't on mic, but I had really great teammates last night who knew perfectly when to push and retreat together because they actually used their heads, and we were able to win pretty easily. Wish I had that for every match, lmao. Forgot I opted out of being invited via the lobby screen when one of the dudes said he'd invite me on the results screen. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, I just had that win you get once every week that's worth every shit game you get the rest of the week. Well, it's not really worth it, but it sure feels like it.
User Warned: Lazy Dev Rhetoric
Only a few weeks left in the season and dropping from the jump ship is still bugged and suffers from random losses of speed. Wonder what they'll break next season? You won't be able to pick up loot from a bin (oh wait, that was a few seasons back when that was broken and sometimes you wouldn't pick stuff up if you tried too quick)?
On top of that and my complaint last week about the massive increase in having no or one teammate, this season has black and white story pages and a barebones, lackluster town takeover (drain the gas, grab the loot)...
I though the whole "working from home" thing actually involved "working?"
