When I want to relax I go to the firing range and unload with dual gold mag Spitfires into the sky. Back and forth, forever. Pure bliss

A friend introduced me to this at the weekend, he wanted someone to make up a 3 with him and his kid. I've not played anything remotely like this since, gently caress.... Q3Arena? I dunno, I don't enjoy realistic/grim shooters, macho capital G gamer culture and Fortnight just didn't appeal either so 20 years of online gaming just passed me by.

But I'm having a loving blast in this! It's like being a kid again even though I'm late to the game and I suck at it. "Lets go get murdered in labs" "OK! :v:" Just proper fun.

It really hits a sweet spot between stylish, humorous and sweaty. First FPS I've mained since my heyday 20 years ago and it has reawakened the joy I felt fragging noobs in UT and hatching strategies in BF1942

I adjust my sensitivity now with a ruler, seems like around 25-30cm for a 360 spin in-game works well for me.

As for improvement you can spend time in the firing range to get used to recoil patterns and movement, you could use an aim trainer like Aimlab (on Steam).

Also don't forget to take care of your body! Exercise and good eating can help a lot with mental clarity, reflexes and decision making.

I just realized that I never use Loba's tactical ability when I play as her. Maybe I just love shopping and I can't bear the idea of throwing away a perfectly good bracelet.

Crypto is strong, but requires pretty specific movement and tactical habits to be able to use the drone without dragging down your movement or combat. Things like pulling the drone out while sliding, how to check banners as quickly as possible, how to set up a useful security camera...

Basically, you have to be able to use the drone *only as much as necessary* to get the info you need. I love playing crypto but I have to take breaks sometimes because it's a lot to keep track of. Bloodhound is like lazy crypto and mirage is fun crypto. Revenant is agressive crypto. Come to think of it, everyone is some kind crypto offbrand

I always want to get into this game, but every match with a pubby inevitably ends up with one person in my trio going to the opposite side of the map as me and the other guy and getting himself killed. If I play Duos, I get the guy who drops on top of other players, dies, then yells at me over the mic in mushmouth talk. Any Goon Discords I try to find are usually dead. I love this game, but I hate playing this game.

The current goon discord in the op is very much alive. You will find good games and good company there!

this is me. Any time I play with goons, they always find something else (drop to another channel) after 3 games or so.

At least pubs and I will ruin each other's games equally.

I've definitely had this happen to me a few times, and I'm not all that bad! People def have their favourite Apex pals in there, and I can't really fault them for that. Still kinda sucks tho when they move to play with the cool kids :/

On the other hand, the more goons I play with the more likely it is that someone jumps in with me from out of the blue! I learned a lot from goons who were better than me, some of whom are more inclined to give advice than others.

Another thing that has helped me a lot is keeping notes on my games. I kept making the same mistakes (over-looting, reckless engagements, using the drone too much etc) and taking a moment to jot them down made it easier for me to recognize them in subsequent games.

Yeah I found it strangely serene to get last season's keycard holosprays with solo octane. Just zipping around Kings Canyon, pausing to listen to the ambient sounds from time to time. Sublime

I was watching some of the goons play yesterday in Olympus where there was a solo octane driving madly about in a Trident with no apparent purpose other than to cause a ruckus. It got me to thinking.

What if dropping solo (intentionally or because of teammate DC) would give you a personal quest, like visiting a list of POIs or scanning X different survey beacons. Just something to give you purpose and maybe grant an xp bonus. I think it'd be funny to see solo players roaming around doing their own thing rather than just ratting or wraithing

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

This, so much. All I want to do is play hype beast crypto and he's not well suited to arenas

I like BR because I like positioning and rotation and variety and surprises.

Arenas is fast food Apex while BR is table d'hôte Apex.

Just give Crypto lightning-fast transitions between done and first-person. As a Crypto lover this would be enough for me, because smoothly maintaining both perspectives is fun and I want to do it more

My sources tell me they're Wattson's buff cousin

Ultimate ability is "lights out", creates a zone of darkness where scans don't work, everything is slow motion (including ring closure) and you can only use melee. Tactical is "too close for comfort", a special melee whip attack for that has 10ft range 45dmg and stuns the target like an arc star

Passive is "pain is pleasure", taking damage speeds up ultimate recharge

But have you considered, not uninstalling?

e: but seriously, I'm sorry the dead bad game has frustrated you to the point of uninstalling. I've decided to embrace the absurdity and also I use occult methods to get the game working ymmv

Anyone else experience some extreme fps drops since the last update? My buddy, with whom I've played regularly in the past, is now getting 9 fps in-game and it's just a shitshow.

He's tried a full reinstall of the game, driver updates, and setting the game to performance mode in windows; all to no avail.

I've noticed stuttering especially in arenas, but not full scale fps meltdowns

Ya all the effort for what?

I don't need Apex Legends to tell me things I can easily figure out for myself
