I've been trying to play on my Xbox One and I only get connection errors. I try three times and give up.
It might be because the wi-fi here is kinda crap, but I am able to play other games on Xbox or Switch online. Anyone else has this problem?
Thanks, I'll try it out.Happened to me a few days ago. Try doing a hard reset, it worked for me.
Anyone up for Chappie in ApeLegs?

Mirage too. Wraith's ult is overrated but Mirage's literally only gets him killed.Edit: now that I think about it, every other hero can cast their ultimates and still fight at the same time. Guess who can't? That's right. Wraith. Garbage.
This needs to be emphasized. So I had to quote it again. Your ears are just as important (if not more) than your eyes in this game. I have killed so many people I've heard sprinting first before I saw them. My teammates usually think I'm crazy when I all of a sudden stop moving to hear better. Then I quickly turn around and kill someone out of nowhere. I actually won a few games like that as the last man left using my ears.Like in all competitive shooters, sounds play big part. Get headset and hear where enemies are. Seriously you will be amazed how well you can tell where people are and how many there are etc.
Yup you're right. His is trash tier too. But his main skill is just :chefs kiss: fucking mwuah!Mirage too. Wraith's ult is overrated but Mirage's literally only gets him killed.
Another reason why Wraith is garbage.There are a few different ways you can get crushed like that. Supply drops are the main one, but also for example if you pop out of a Wraith portal into a newly closed door

I picked this up from SOCOM back in the days where sound was just as important.
Why doesn't the tracker sometime doesn't detect hostiles? I was in a game today and I activated the ability, it said no hostiles detected and then immediately a dude jumped in front of me from a level underneath. There wasn't enough time for him to have been out of the tracking zone and come up to me.
I believe it is 60 seconds. Iirc.Is there any clear indication on how long Wraiths portal stays up? It seems to stay for quite some time.
No I'm telling you the dude was directly underneath me. It was one of those wooden houses with a bit of space available underneath. I used it and within a second I saw the guy jump up at melee range from me right as the message "no hostile detected" popped up.It was just distance, you are probably overestimating the range of the bloodhounds tracker.
Sure I'll explain my PoV:
1. While she is using the portal, she loses her weapons. Garbage.
2. You can only place the portal at places you've physically been. This means that in order to make it useful, you have to place the portal in hot areas where combat is happening. Why is this bad? See point 1. Garbage.
3. To elaborate even more on point 2... People say it is useful to extract downed team members. That's cute. So you make a portal in a safe space. Then you make another next to their body. Notice anything strange yet? I'll help you figure it out with a hint: the enemies saw the entire ordeal. They actually used your portal to now kill you AND your partner you just saved. Great. Garbage.
4. Her abilities don't even make sense for her character. She is shown to be super fast and ninja like, but in game, Bangalore actually has more ninja like abilities than she does. Bang has smoke to conceal her movement. Bang has increased running speed as a passive. This is actually hilarious. Bang is a better ninja than the ninja.
Also, mirage can ACTUALLY CLOAK AND USE SUBSTITUTION (decoys) FYI.
Edit: now that I think about it, almost every other hero can cast their ultimates and still fight at the same time. Guess who can't? That's right. Wraith. Garbage. (Edit: And yeah mirage too. His ult is also trashman material)
Edit2: I can keep going. Pathfinder's Zipline ultimate is actually a better portal than Wraith's portal. You can deploy it at a distance without FIRST putting yourself in harm's way, you can see where you'll end up at, you can change elevation with it, and you can fire while using it. Wraith's is garbage.
Some general tips:
- Don't drop straight down. Fastest way is to drop down a little bit and pull up and keep doing it. You have glide meter on left side of screen.
- You can make someone else jumpmaster by pressing circle (PS4)
- Try to drop areas with high tier loot or with lots of people. That's how you learn to loot fast and shoot and just generally play. Don't avoid fights.
- Learn those high tier loot areas like Airbase, Thunderdome, Dropship, hot spot etc.
- Run to gun sounds and try to third party people. Again that's how you learn and also get better loot than just running around and looting stuff.
- Don't open fire right away. Make sure you can hit them and try to flank and suprise enemies.
- Robot spiders (drops loot) keep noices you hear clearly. Loot them.
- Good guns: R-301, R-99, Spitfire, Peacekeeper, Wingman and legendary weapons. Prowler is good with selective fire mod and Devotion with turbocharger.
- After firefight don't heal shields right away. Loot enemies shields from their boxes and you get full shields automatically. Save those batteries.
- Always ping enemies you see or good loot and where you wanna go.
- You can also ping items you need in your inventory. Like if you need light mag, go to inventory on your weapon and ping light mag spot.
- Try to get high ground and fight smart.
- Stop complaining about randoms. Yes there are bad players, assholes, new players etc. We already know all that. Join era Apex discord or give your live/ps/origin name here and try to get people play with you.
- Like in all competitive shooters, sounds play big part. Get headset and hear where enemies are. Seriously you will be amazed how well you can tell where people are and how many there are etc.
To the guys playing on PC:
Does your games sometimes freeze randomly as well? And how's your VRAM usage? I only have 3GBs of VRAM, but AMD's monitoring shows me sometimes using 3.6, which I believe might be the cause for that
I mean i can tell you from playing mostly bloodhound and caustic that there are plenty of times where i can actually hear enemies around me but the scanner shows nothing.No I'm telling you the dude was directly underneath me. It was one of those wooden houses with a bit of space available underneath. I used it and within a second I saw the guy jump up at melee range from me right as the message "no hostile detected" popped up.
Maybe a bug, I had another bug today that prevented me from going any faster than the crawl speed you have when you are down. Couldn't even walk at normal speed. It was like once I was revived my speed didn't get back to normal.
It's already on low (2-3 GBs), which is why I'm surprised. It also doesn't stutter during gameplay it just randomly freezes, which means I have to forcefully close the game.Setting texture streaming to one or more settings below your card's VRAM can be helpful to avoid occasional stuttering if you haven't already tried, especially if you're running other programs.
Starting to win roughly 30-40% of games when playing with my 2 shootiest buddies.
My tips if anyone is interested:
- 'Go HAM and hold hands' is a winning philosophy. Play aggro and zerg people. The team that commits harder often wins because of the high TTK.
- Never stay in a 50/50 attrition battle and trade shots at distance for more than 20-30secs. They cost loads of resources and the noise will attract other teams. Either disengage and find another angle or use your cooldowns to close the gap.
- Caustic traps are great at preventing 3rd parties from jumping you after a battle. We often run Caustic and find that the string of squads that comes after our noise becomes a loot delivery service because of the area control we have. Highly underrated character.
- As other people have said in this thread, be the 3rd party that mops up as often as possible. Free gear.
- Don't be afraid to drop hot. You get more gear faster by winning fights and the only way to learn to shoot is by shooting. This is the only stage of the game I've found the healbot on Lifeline to be frequently useful.
- The supply ship is only good for the hilarious chaos. If you're interested in winning games then the loot is rarely worth the amount of punching you'll need to do to get it.

Had enough crafting material to buy a legendary skin.
Love this outfit.
Its RNG sadly. Got in one of my free Apex packs by leveling 600 cratering material. The other 600 in one the packs I bought with the founder pack coins.I want too! ._.
How did you get 1200 crafting material? How many apex packs did you need to buy?

That isn't a very nice thing to do hombre: why you do that?

Agreed with other points save this.
I'd actually say avoid jumping into where lots of players are cause at the end of the day or most of the times (when in a random squad) what decides the outcome of this is simply who gets a better gun first (Mozambique hello) or who's got a better shield and those are pretty much random and not skill related.
Meanwhile when you are geared and in a proper firefight against other squads these are times you actually put your skill into full use and when your experience actually comes into play skills that can can decide if you win or lose, do you flank? Do you push foward? Do you hunker down and defend? Did you hear the shield break before spamming nades to finish him off? That random guy is always rushing, should I go with him or flank while he draws attention?
So basically my opinion is land less crowded area if possible to get you and the random squad kitted up as soon as possible.
But if you're confident in a rush fire fight tho, I understand your logic
It's not about the other players; it's about the loot. My friends and I drop the blue zone whenever it's not a huge hassle because that's where the loot is. You either win a fight and walk away with great loot (and often a gold weapon), or you die quickly and try again. This is far, far superior, to our minds, than scavenging in the middle of the map for 20 minutes and then getting rolled by the squads that already have the good stuff and have their adrenaline pumping.Agreed with other points save this.

Because I don't have the patience to deal with a lot of the shitty teammates.That isn't a very nice thing to do hombre: why you do that?
You mean post res fail, or before your team has a chance to beacon you?
....or do you mean because of scrub like teammates, so you ragequit leaving them as a duo to be obliterated?
All not so great options tbh lol.
That is hilariousreceived the legendary finisher for the robit so i had to get it done
