Apex Legends (Respawn Entertainment, 2019) Video Game • Page 37

imo it needs to be a constant buff or can recharge so it's not something that just benefits the character in the first 1-2 minutes of the game.

 

would benefit huge when youre revived at a beacon and drop fresh, too

 

idk about it being a huge benefit since the giant hitbox stays with you the entire game still. I don't think you're gonna get many people switching to gibraltar or caustic because they get a shield that'll be useful for a maybe 1-2 gun fights per game.

 

i mean it’d be better than the arm shield that currently exists imo lol

 

I am so sick of dumbass randoms.

 

This thread is good

 

playing as a duo sucks. I feel like for whatever reason I need a team of randoms or a full squad of friends to be competitive.

 

Funny enough whenever I’m on a duo we do really good.

 

This game needs a Battlefield-style instant kill (or knockdown) if you sneak up to someone from behind

 

oh god no please haha

a mechanic this punishing is a little too much for a game where you literally have only one life.

 

The melees need to be stronger though, especially against someone who’s knocked down. Shouldn’t take me six punches to finish someone off when they’re on the ground.

 

Why? It’s supposed to be hard.

 

Because six melees to finish off someone knocked down is stupid?

 

It’s not. Like it’s a tactical choice to down someone and it’s supposed to put you into danger.

 

And reducing the required punches to finish someone down to like three would change that............how?

 

I think it needs something like a sneak-kill because sneaking up to someone successfully should not end in you fully emptying your mag only to then reload while they turn around and kill you. It wouldn't be an ideal solution but better than nothing. Like I said, downing rather than killing would of course be fine.

 

playing as a duo in this game def feels like a net loss. in some games like Swat in Halo i find it sometimes advantageous to have less than a full squad because you can keep such a lower profile and pop off surprise headshots, and your team has less targets. in this game even having a third person as a distraction/meatshield behooves you, not even counting the benefits you lose out in legend abilities etc. really the only perk i can think of to having less than a full squad is less people to pick over loot and maybe just less visibility.

 

If you're emptying a mag into someone who you successful snuck up on them and still manage to get killed, that's on you, not the game. An instakill like that would be way too overpowered especially during the drop.

 

The first point: it is absolutely possible based on the gun and the gear alone (no s or lack thereof involved), and I think that’s a slight flaw. The second point: I do see how that would be a problem. I don’t have the answers.

 

By the way, in Battlefield, the way I remember it, it doesn’t work if the person infront of you is moving. It’s really about sneaking up to someone that is also being sneaky.

 

How do you not understand the correlation between the time to kill someone and the risk it poses?

 

I think he means the time to punch someone to death once downed compared to shooting them to death once downed is unproportionally long

 

I mean yeah it’s supposed to be shit.
to be fair it’s still faster than a Mozambique

 

How do you not understand that if someone is dumb enough to try and melee someone to death in the middle of a firefight it doesn't matter whether it takes three hit or six hits, it's still a bad idea and will get them killed either way?

But, conversely, if someone is dumb enough to stray too far away from their team and they get downed for it, I shouldn't have to stand there mindlessly spamming the melee button for an hour to finish them off. It's stupid and clunky and doesn't feel good. Especially given how clunky and imprecise and not-good the melee feels in general in this game.

 

Yeah I know, I just also think it’s maybe just 20% too shit lol

Although yesterday I did punch someone with a gun down and then to death so that was awesome. Took like a minute of frantically running around lmao
