The Peacekeeper with a charging choke on it is a goddamn force of nature to be reckoned with.

This game is fuckin' great :allears:

My leading is terrible and is really what I need to work on. Are there any good guidelines for that or is it just 100% practice?

Coming from a CS:GO background I was really prepared to be a good person clicker. The idea was that this would dramatically improve my chances of winning without having to be good at the BR format. It turns out, however, this game runs like rear end on my system, and anytime people are on screen my fps plummets to the 30's. This makes it incredibly hard to aim well at all, so much so that I might as well not even bother until I can upgrade.

I could squeeze out 144fps from overwatch by playing with the settings, but there's something going on with this engine where a GTX 760 just can't really handle things.

Gonna try the videoconfig files that were posted here today, and maybe fool around with overclocking, but it can't be overstated how much performance can affect your ability to aim

Sorry mate, but a mid-range card from 2013 just doesn't cut it for smoothness in modern shooters anymore. It's time to open the wallet and render unto Jensen Huang.

honest question though what's your recourse in this game if you get toxic team mates other than quitting or wasting time unsatisfyingly attempting to grief them? I got a team mate yesterday who, before the character select even came up, was saying the n word into the mic as fast as he could over and over. My other team mate quit before we dropped and I did too.

Join the Discord and play with goons.

Combining the G7 or the R301 with a Peacekeeper is basically the best possible gun combo, doubly so if you have the choke.

DreadCthulhu posted:

That chart is fantastic, thanks for sharing.

What is up with energy weapons btw? There are only 2 of them, nobody ever seems to want to keep them later in the game, they're mostly there if you need to pick up something, but you swap them out asap if you can.

Also, what ammo type do the golden weapons use? It "looks" like heavy, but it doesn't seem to be. Do you use them until you run out of ammo and then you toss them?

The energy weapons are a bit situational. The Devotion is brilliant for raw DPS with the legendary hopup (Turbocharger) since that makes it spin up to full RPM incredibly fast, and its accuracy is pretty decent, but against people with ARs who can aim you could be dead before you hit full fire rate without the hopup. And the Triple Take is a sniper rifle that lets you whiff shots and still do a bit of damage, basically.

And yeah, legendary weapons just use their own ammo. You can't restock it.

I wonder what kind of drugs a normal person needs to do to approach his caliber of aim and map awareness.

for some reason my mic sounds like complete trash (like absurdly loud and slightly distorted) but only in this game and perfect everywhere else (voice recorder, obs, discord). anybody else have a similar issue and/or know how to fix it?

The Source fork that Apex uses hasn't had the voice codec changed since... ever.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same one GoldSrc used.

Spitfire with a 2x and a Triple Take with a 2-4x if I can find one. If the Triple Take isn't an option, then it's an EVA-8.

The Spitfire with an extended mag is still accurate enough for longer distance combat while also being able to make the person you're showering in bullets think, "they have to reload at SOME point, right?".

"How fast can you push the button" seems like an ableist and dumb artificial skill gap

Just because Morphix got banned and dnc seems to have gotten bored of this thread doesn't mean that this thread needs someone to fill the lovely-takes gap.

Coming back to this after not playing since season 1. The new map is neat. The new sniper rifle is awesome. Great to see the L-STAR in. The two-round burst mod for the M14 is :stwoon:

I've played a handful of games and keep getting to #2 before my pubbies disappear around me and suddenly I am facing someone who has been playing 12 hours a day for the past year. Are there still goons playing on PC?

Crazy because it looks like boiled rear end.

Pros and wannabe pros in basically every game turn their graphics settings down to about as low as they can to maximize their framerate.

Couple that with their art director being the original TF2 art director and the game is very much built around visibility through recognizable shapes and colours instead of ooh ah flashy
