I can count the number of times I haven't been jumpmaster on one hand this season. Maybe even from last season too.

Reek posted:the thing that confuses me whenever this comes up is, are you guys not getting jumpmaster like 75% of the time? I pretty much always get it or get passed it and drop countdown or wherever. Just make sure a couple squads are heading in that direction and go kill them, then rotate into fragment or kill the people rotating out. The other 25% just drop fragment, its fun too. If you confirm your character pick it'll preferentially give you the jumpmaster role if the other two are afk. If you don't want to be jumpmaster pick your character by bringing it up on the loadout screen and then afk in the pick phase.

more specifically the last person to pick is jumpmaster, unless they're AFK then it's the second person to pick, unless they're AFK then it's the first person to pick, unless they're AFK then it's the last person to pick even though they're AFK

And there's an icon on the character select screen that shows who the JM is; you can see it change as people AFK.

I was afraid to try the bochek since coming back but I picked one up for a marskman challenge and its pretty fun! Idk why I thought the arrows would be slow as poo poo or something.

very popular with valk because there's no sound or indicator where the arrows are coming from, so if you can sneak into a high position and start shooting down on someone unaware you can get away with it for a longer time sometimes.

Late on character chat but don't sleep on Ash, if you are attentive she can give you more info then crypto can, potentially telling you where the last team is at or what areas are active fight zones long before you'd be in drone or earshot range. Plus her abilities are all top tier for poke and repositioning out of a bad fight or engaging on a good knock.

On console it's a bit different as you can't tab out and do something else, so generally the bald Wraith will instantly confirm their character selection when it's their turn for that chance to throw the team into Fragment. The whole jumpmaster culture is pretty weird all around. If you ping something that's not Fragment/instadrop in pubs, randos will generally drop solo, die right away and disconnect. The best solution for going somewhere else seems to be not pinging where until after you've jumped, as this generally leads people to not go solo for some reason. Next is perhaps a European oddity: if you solo queue and get a British duo on your team, they will very often both pass on the jumpmaster role before readying up to drop solo, and then fly off somewhere without pinging. Generally they will not use pings at all, and you will not hear from them until they die and are ready to let you know it's in fact your fault.

Idk why I thought the arrows would be slow as poo poo or something. taken from the wiki are the speeds at which the arrow travels: no draw arrow 254 m/s full draw arrow 711.2 m/s For comparison, the 30-30 Repeater is 736.6 m/s and the Longbow is 774.7 m/s, one also a marksman weapon and the other a sniper rifle. As a baseline comparison, the R-301 (the weapon the devs consider the standard of sorts) is only 553 m/s bullet speed. So yeah the arrows actually travel real fuckin' fast.

I've a friend good enough at the bocek he can regularly hit people during valk ults/balloons from 200-300m away and just in general pop heads consistently with it. It's a very good weapon and not needing to reload means you don't need to let off the pressure unlike something like the charge rifle where after firing 4 times in a row they are free to take a stroll in the open for several minutes during it's reload.

I'd have honestly bet money on the arrows having less drop than other weapons. Maybe it's something to do with the projectile size making it easier to land shots? Who knows.

Arrows absolutely have a not-so-soft limit on how far you can fire them before they just plummet to the ground, I'm not entirely sure of the range but it's generally around where only snipers can reliably hit someone even if they're standing still. They go surprisingly far still though!

Is there any way to check my stats for total wins across all characters? Or is it all separated out?

Can someone teach me how to scale walls with a controller? I swear, even when I pick Revenant, I have trouble climbing up on buildings etc. I've seen players scale 2 story buildings just fine, and I can hardly get over a door :

Yeah but for some reason my characters can't climb very high? Should I look up, straight at the wall? Start looking at the wall and then flick up towards the sky? I have no idea. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

I have no idea. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... Run towards the wall and press and hold the jump button, you should climb quite naturally. Most characters don't climb all that high but Revenant is a freakshow. Are you sure you're not climbing a wall that has an obstruction above you?

Where you look after beginning to climb doesn't really impact anything. Most characters can't climb for very long but often there are small ledges/objects you can get on top of and stand on, which resets the "stamina" you have for climbing. Worth mentioning on the topic of climbing is that there's a bug with the teleporters that appear under IMC Armories on Storm Point. If you use the teleporter your character's climbing will be gimped for the rest of the match, as the final part of the climbing animation where you mount on top of something stops working and you just fall down instead. It's been like this ever since the season started. Better to just do something else if your squad starts fighting robots without you.

Are you sure you're not climbing a wall that has an obstruction above you? Don't think I'm holding the jump button, so that might be it. I'll try and run op some walls later today.

I feel like the bocek hip fire is pretty good for close range, based on having decent success when I pick up a bocek during a contested drop. Could also just be the fact that charging the bow gives me a little bit of time to line up my shot better than my usual spray and pray instincts though.

They're adding Loba to Apex Mobile and her alternate abilities (yes, characters have alternates!) include being able to loot your teammate's banner from a Black Market :3 additionally she can see high-value death boxes through walls like loot, get extra loot from blue supply boxes, throwing her jump drive quicker (but not being able to activate it early), seeing enemies who have picked up high value loot through walls, and not having weapons count towards your black market picks. Let her loot banners from the market on PC!!!
