I honestly don't get the hate for it from some people. The game looks pretty fun from what I've seen, can't wait to try the open beta.

What is it? A bomb you place in containers or a claymore? I never came across this one.

I dummy loot bag. If you loot it, you pretty much dead. Dunno if you can survive it with blue or epic shields, but it kills you with white and green one

Alright, that's pretty cool, lol. I could see dying to that being super annoying.

Oh, so you CAN tell? I assumed you couldn't at all which is why you died to it so many times to it.Yes but wont tell you. I'll let you suffer, as i did
I figured if that wasn't the case it'd only be a matter of time before they'd change it, lol.

Wait what?! You can put a loot trap on the ground??

That's fucking diabolical. I love it!

Its basically an item that you can loot. When you deploy it, it looks like a loot bag, so do it near corpses. Thats what that tweet is all about

Steam only apparently. We ain't getting another go until the preview weekend by the looks of it.
I was certain they'd have a fairly sizeable test before the preview as well............

There's a few decent looking ones. I'm never interested in recolors so I hope they keep those to a minimum going forward.A bunch of skins just leaked. Pretty standard imo...

Don't see how they can do much else as the silhouettes need to be identifiable in game. Still there's a few in there that aren't totally offensive.

That's fair, though I think Apex has a good amount of skins for each hero that offer a bit of variety. Though they are definitely not all winners, it's not unfeasible.
Edit: redundancy

Reddit reckons the re-colours are free faction skins. Fine with that if true.

Cool, that does make sense. Gotta show that brand loyalty

Don't think so. I think they pulled from people who applied to previous tests.
Not all of us got in

Marathon isn't? Your takes are retarded.

Can't wait for the beta thread. Loads of folks with zero interest in the game other than to see it crash and burn.
If the game turns out to be a dud (unlikely) so be it, we can just move on. Personally its up there with my most wanted this year.

All of the alpha ones except one for each shell has been just recolors. And the non recolor is weak and minimal for everyone.
It's really really really bad and I pray it changes by release.
