is there any method of predicting where the circle is going to fall in arenas? i swear i just lost a round on phase runner because the enemy were better near the runners, whereas we were stomping them on the other side. game decided to switch over to the runners for the last few rounds and just never went back :shrug:

There's the recon towers but beyond that there are set patterns so after a while you can notice then. This is anecdotal but semi not because even I have predicted a circle close before.

Has respawn ever released a new feature without bugs they have to hotfix or rollback for a second attempt? Because it doesn't seem like it.

recon towers are only in BR though. it's kind of irrelevant since even in my example we couldn't really do anything differently had we known, but it is annoying how the arenas circle can tend to favor one area of the map, sometimes

Saw the "Win 3 Arena matches in a row" challenge and thought to myself "Hell naw", three arena matches later it's done.

Never was a fan of the L-Star, but goddamn, in Arena it slaps.

i been saying it, the l star is dumb as gently caress in that mode. totally undercosted, that and a mozambique early and whatever the gently caress you want later is pro as hell.

Best I've done is 8. I already have the badge for 25 Arena wins with Valkyrie though

Man the Volt is so good in the first round. I honestly think the gun could be nerfed. That insanely short reload time is just bananas

What if I told you the LSTAR has no reload at all and is cheap as chips

LOGIC AND COMMON SENSE? YOU AIN'T GET THAT FROM ME!
Yeah with an L star and a bique first round you can get a battery too, same goes for the havoc (which allows you and add'l 50 points to buy another tactical).

Yeah I've been doing LStar and Mozambique first round and then usually can get a purple Volt in every subsequent round. If neither team has a Bangalore I can use a bit more balanced loadout but most of my rounds have had at least one so the threat scope is nice.

Plus the volt is great anyway.

I like the Arena flash events because I like free apex packs and skins... but I don't wanna play Arenas :/

But I'm not going to ignore it because I want the free loot. I mean it's still Apex fun but like, I just wanna play BR mannn

I've been going with the R301 with the P2020 or Moz as a backup. The 301 feels flexible enough and the free weapons are reliable enough as a backup that I don't usually want to spend mats on a second weapon.

or dont whatever








unless i’m working on a challenge round 2 and on I almost always buy a 301. Occasionally I’ll pair it with a sent or an eva, but I mostly just try to get it with a 3X and buy out batteries/arcs

I'm not super into arenas so it's kind of a bummer that they now occupy a good chunk of the daily/weekly missions as well. It's like, today is arena day. You're going to do arenas if you want your stars.

Volt is good. It's what I used all the time when Arenas first came out. But lately I've been using the RE-45 and it's been going GREAT. First round you get it, upgrade it once, and take a battery.

I go the same. P2020 and mozambique for the finishing hits. I use the rest of the coin for mirage's ult so I can blow some minds.
If I need anything heavier I can just swap out on the first person I kill.

I think Arena Duos would be super fun. My only concern is splintering the player base too much.

I reckon they're gonna give Hammerpoints the Anvil reciever treatment. That'll bring the Moz back to 3 shots and the P2020 to 7 shotz without a clip? Makes sense to me

i took yesterday off, but what the hell happened since then that everyone seems to think rushing and camping the center room in thermal processing is a good idea? like, not even caustics and wattsons - i had a two-stack of loba and crypto that were absolutely convinced it was the only way, and they were far from the only ones. its both boring and stupid to do!
