That 1 extra damage means 1 less bodyshot to kill on all shield levels except blue and flesh. Reload doesn't matter as much on a gun that has such a large mag and low rate of fire imo.

In the past 3 seasons' battlepasses, crypto has gotten a total of 2 quips, a banner (this one was cool but it was back in season 5), and a holospray. I think crypto has received a grand total of one skydive emote and one skin (that lovely robot one from season 4) in all the battlepasses, didn't see crypto once in the season 8 battlepass trailer either. At least Bangalore and Lifeline both got yet another legendary skin.

They sure do make it very easy to save your money if you play crypto, but I wish they would at least pretend he existed.

Agreed, but at the same time, it's gotta be hard trying to create something as good as the hype Beast. Maybe he'll get something in the collectors event this season.

If it weren't for the battlepasses how would Wraith get new jump animations?

Just another cool banner or skydive emote in the battlepass would be nice, or god forbid a rare skin that is actually pleasing to look at. It sucks when you realize that the most they'll ever toss your way these days is the season tracker and a holospray or an old quip they found lying around on a hard drive somewhere as the popular characters are all starting to get their second legendary skin.

It sucks having all the decent cosmetics tied to overpriced whale milking events.

They will buff Loba's ult to the point where it can instantly kill players in an infinite radius by stealing their hearts out of their chest before they even consider buffing her tactical.

one of the replies is speculating it's going to get announced in a Nintendo partner showcase, if so they're probably saving it for a "available now!" type of drop

Of course not. Plus it's gonna have gyro, so if it's not a technical mess, it'll be the best console version.

Considering how under-powered the Switch is, I can't see it being anything other than a terrible poo poo show next to 144fps g-sync smoothness.

My PC does that. I just don't hold high hopes for any shooter on the Switch, and this is coming from someone who liked Splatoon 2 a lot on my Switch, but it ain't gonna work for something fast like Apex, imo.

Maybe that would be a nice care package weapon that's like Kraber damage, slow projectiles, 2x zoom and balanced by no reloading. Wouldn't need a new ammo type either.

Cool, thanks.

I definitely wouldn't expect everything that gets accidentally shown in a devstream to end up in the live game. That same devstream showed a "UFO" that looked just like Olympus's Elysium area floating off the Broken Coast, but that space is now taken by the Mirage Voyage.

Splatoon 2 is 1080p at 60fps and it's pretty fast, and source is an old engine. Already got doom eternal on there, so it's not like it's a stretch.

Nintendo are great at programming smooth games for their underpowered consoles.

Third party devs... not so much. I don't have much hope that it'll run smooth without looking like Goldeneye.

Source engine games run 60fps on ti84 graphing calculators. I know there's a lot of extra stuff on apex but i wouldn't be surprised if it runs great on switch.

I hope some of the performance improvements they make to get it to run on the Switch trickle back to the PC version. Might get me closer to my dream of a stable 144fps at 1440p without upgrading my graphics card.

The switch is pretty modern in it's architecture. Splatoon 2 is actually very demanding because every drop of ink has gravity and physics applied to it. And you should check out DFs coverage of switch ports, some third party devs are putting in work.

quote:

We know Wraith will always be a popular pick considering the amount of combat utility in her kit. After many tweaks to her abilities and animations, the fact remains that her win rate continues to be at the very top as it has since day one. With Season 7 hitbox adjustments to Pathfinder, we were able to control his power without nerfing his kit. We hope to do the same with Wraith.

Wraith now has a slightly larger hitbox than her fellow small legends, but the changes stay true to her model. As you can see in the before and after comparison, we’re adding some width mostly in the torso and leg areas:
