I don't want to. But I might have to.

They have confirmed that you cannot shoot Echo.

I would be perfectly okay with a giant pet treat heirloom if one of the animations was Echo taking a lil nibble of it. :3:

battlepass challenges work differently this season, each challenge slot is split into a BR challenge and a non-BR challenge, and you can only complete one of them

fucking clocks
how do they work?
Wonder if that's them cutting down the amount of challenges you can earn by shovelling the last two weeks of apex or if it'll be an increase.

I got from level 55 to 100 and I only had to buy four levels (which i used previous battle pass money for) this week because I hated this season, so reducing it might spread the players out more.

based solely on the screenshot they look like identical challenges, but the non BP version makes you do more damage / kills / ring closings to complete it

edit: wait I'm dumb I totally read it as NBP and not NBR

Well, non BR would be what, arena's and events?

When they added arena's we got a bunch more challenges, but this looks like it'd be them condensing that.

Well this season won't be as boring as Saviors, at least. Goddamn the last 3 months were dull.

I really like that change to the 1st ring. 180 seconds was way too long.

So many nerfs this upcoming patch:

Like:

Wingman being relegated to Sniper Ammo and Sniper Extended

Olympus being given a rest for a bit

Valk getting much needed nerfs

Maggie's Ball being able to break Gibby's Dome

Bocek and Rampage being taken off the loot table and into crates, so I can just keep ignoring them especially after the Kraber Nerf

Dual Loader being built into the 30-30 is nice,

Dislike:

Making Spitfire a light ammo gun for.......reasons.

Reducing stick damage to Arc Stars, sniping someone with arc stars using Fuse always so much fun especially when it's a headshot

Skullpiercer making it's return, man this is just all personal preferences and whatnot but I am so tired of Wingmans and Skullpiercers being used all the time and getting domed in the skull

Losing self revive in the gold knockdown shield, so any kind of self revive is removed from the game

gold backpack losing healing buff and instead letting you stack more meds

Kill RP no longer having diminished returns in Ranked (with the tradeoff of increased entry costs) is going to be very interesting to see play out.

Really going to be the season of 30-30 dominance with extra headshot damage and default x2 faster reloading huh.

Also didn't see this mentioned:
LEVEL CAP INCREASE

Players can now level past account level 500 through 3 additional tiers of 500 levels bringing the effective level maximum to Level 500 Tier 3. This increase adds 345 additional Apex Packs earnable via account leveling, and ensures that everyone can earn an heirloom just by playing the game. The total number of Apex Packs earnable via account leveling is now 544.

I had a ranked win earlier today where after we finished off #3 we concluded immediately that the final remaining squad was most likely a rat, because otherwise they would've pushed onto us while we were fighting the 3rd-to-last squad.

We found the Octane cowering in a corner and let the ring kill him.

Yes please, you could disable them but then you no longer get third party voice line callouts that will confirm you're being thirded instead of just shot at by the same team.
