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!

Had a bit of this earlier with a team, but we were up against a team of Caustic/Wattson/Lifeline also gunning for it so those first two rounds my team-mates ate so much poo poo trying to contest it.

Shocked when they actually listened to me telling them not to contest it and the rest of the match we picked at them until the ring forced them out right into our guns. Also let me Octane around the arena and hoover up all the resources, we were rocking full purple guns real fast.

This is why I run Anvil Receiver Flatline without fail in rounds 3 and later. Team wants to poke? Nail the enemy for 46 damage repeatedly. Team wants to push. Full auto spray!

Arenas is so loving good. I wish there was maybe a little more depth to the economy but I guess the game would need to be longer.

Arena would be great if every time I played with pubs i didn't have to watch two morons have some lovely argument about who's feeding more.

Also I understand that I could play with goons but i'd just been jabbed and wasn't feeling great, so I didn't want to play with you guys while feeling lovely in case I snapped at someone :v:

There's apparently three copies each of the "20 arena sniper knocks" and "10k arena sniper damage" battlepass challenges so this is by design :shrug:

i can understand conceptually why they want some slightly different properties but marksman/sniper should be in one category for challenges and poo poo. the only sniper i ever even a little liked was the triple take :/

Super super easy poke damage and if you knock someone you can just switch to your primary and rush them.

My “deal 5000 damage with snipers in arenas” challenge is never getting completed. Even in BR I’m pretty much ignoring them now that the TT isn’t one. I did pop off with a Sentinel recently, and it feels great when that happens, but it’s rare enough that it isn’t worth the risk.

We should three stack and just farm sniper damage. I can do well with a sentinel, but most of the time everyone wants to rush.

Don't do that sort of thing early into the season, you'll kick yourself when you get another 10k sniper damage in arena challenge on the next week or two.

just don't do challenges that seem annoying, there's more than enough to max out the pass

The “Lore” tab on r/ApexLore is a pretty good repository of information. It seems to be a bit out of date but there’s still a lot there. The “Interactions” tab also has transcriptions of all the in-game voice lines and conversations. Just...ignore the regular posts. Like I said in the OP, it’s mostly misunderstandings, wild speculation, or both at once.

The Lore page on the fandom wiki also has a good summary and links to some other helpful pages. Each individual legend page also has relevant stuff from Twitter down in their teasers, trivia, and gallery sections.

Those two resources should cover most of it, but there’s definitely still a few things that slipped through the cracks. Like the recent animatic that led into these last two community comics, where Wraith noticed Bangalore’s knife and Bangalore freaked out about it. The devs have acknowledged the issues with compiling lore stuff but if they have a solution in the works they haven’t announced it yet.

Ive not yet read through it but the fandom wiki looks like it's collated the game and twitter comics well enough (scroll down for the twitter ones)

Usually no one even bothers to contest it, but I had a game on wrecked ship the other day where me and the enemy bangalore then eventually whole enemy team made a game over rushing the center material canister. No canisters in sudden death tho so we had to win the regular way

I think that's more of a preference thing, but Flatline costs less (presumably because it has fewer attachments, which is also why the LStar feels way cheaper than it should be)

301 is slightly more expensive!
I always go spitfire first round*, then flatline, if the game is dragging on though I do feel the 301 is a slight step up.

*unless i'm playing Rampart and then it's Lstar, endless Lstars.

I did it! I got the Wattson skin even though I at most did maybe 8 kills ever in Arena. To the teams who carried me, I love you, and the ones that mocked me, you are right, I loving suck, I spent too much on thermites and gas cans when I should have gotten better guns. Octane was far more useful than Caustic was for these.

Two things I just learned about Wraith:

1. There is next to no wind up for the tactical when ulting.

2. If you are using the tactical when the ultimate hits 0 the ult fizzles out and you lose the %.

Bangalore correctly points out that the full name of the Longbow is the Longbow DMR, making it by definition a Marksman weapon

Respawn please correct the category until the Sentinel is the only thing classed as a Sniper rifle. The Kraber is a melee weapon and the Charge Rifle is a shotgun

Playing as Horizon for my weeklies and it kinda sucks.. The lift feels too slow now. I do keep forgetting to use her ultimate but I don't think it's very versatile, it would be better if it came out faster maybe and in a straight line?

I've been playing since the game came out and only unlocked Mirage a month ago. He owns, the decoys are almost as good as Bloodhound's scan for scouting and invisible reviving is as good as Lifeline's revive.
