elite streak is at 47 right now, but it's sorta stuck ...

it reads 0 during the game, and then hits 47 after we're top 5

kinda annoying tbh

maybe, elite queues are still available and streaks are still listed

i thought the elite queue was its own thing, i absolutely don't wanna see it removed as i prefer the harder hitting ring damage meta

Yeah I like it too. Don’t know how I feel about the ring damage nerf though

it's only the first ring that is nerfed right? i don't spend enough time outside to check, feels like 25% / tick second ring on

Yeah just the first one. It punished the people that looted outside the ring for a long time. Now they can escape the punishment

First game of the day. Teammate 1 dies not long after dropping and disconnects while I'm going for his banner. Teammate 2 dies shortly after that, I try rezing him and get into a 2 v me firefight. I kill one, the other guy legs it and my guy dies so I pick up his banner and then he disconnects too. Still ended up winning though :messenger_bicep:.


My aim spazzes out hardcore on the last guy because I still get nervous when it's a game deciding situation. Worked out though.

The game has become difficult for me to enjoy on PS4. 80% of the time I die, I get killed by people spamming the Wingman, in two to three shots max and they seem to fire it faster than should be possible and with perfect accuracy even from distance. If they spot me first and shoot me with it I'm dead before I can even react to the first shot, this never used to happen before, even before the nerfs. Meanwhile when I use it it fires slow and misses most of the time when I have them perfectly in my optics. It's frustrating to say the least. Even the so called OP OG Wingman wasn't used this much and wasn't as lethal. I feel like I'm missing something. Me and my friends used to win a lot, now it's far less because of the Wingman. I also noticed a few players running around hip firing Krabers at close range now, I feel like that shouldn't be happening.

I know a lot of these people are probably using mice and if Fortnite can separate input devices really well, then there's no excuse for Apex not to. There's ways to detect XIM.

It’s the same gun with lower magazine ammo so I don’t know what you’re complaining about. The Wingman is still powerful as it was before the magazine nerf

I struggle against someone with super aim and firing a Wingman. And as you said, a lot of them are using KBM so that’s our problem

What are the ways to detect XiM?

It's not just lowered magazine, they also reduced rate of fire on it. However the people that kill me are able to fire it much faster than they should be able to, even faster than the original rate of fire. All I know is that the OG Wingman wasn't nearly as widely used as this nerfed one, which is very strange to me, usually when you nerf things people use them less, not more.

As for XIM you gotta ask Epic how they do it but they do it. I think MS actually helped them on XB1, not sure if Sony did on PS4 or no,t but once they separated inputs all the split second builders and City Hunter marksmen disappeared from the "controller" player pool, so whatever they did works.

Seriously, the quality of the voice chat is atrocious. Nine times out of 10 I can't even hear the person talking.

I've noticed a few people who are still able to see mirage when he's invisible and this is on PS4 so not sure how they're doing it but they're doing it. It's really sucks cause they can shoot you without you being able to shoot back.

Hey all,

Lead Product Manager Lee Horn (Leeeeeee-RSPN) here with an overview of the Season 2 Battle Pass Challenges system. We heard your feedback on the Season 1 grind and created a system which should allow for significantly greater Battle Pass progress with less grind over less time for players who return on a regular basis and maximize their Challenge resets.

With the launch of Season 2, you’ll be able to complete Daily and Weekly Challenges to level up your Battle Pass. As we’ve previously mentioned, we’re endeavoring to balance gameplay purity with variety and fun, so none of this Season’s challenges will require a YouTube tutorial to figure out.

More than half of your Weekly Challenges will grant an entire Battle Pass level as a reward. The remaining Daily & Weekly Challenges grant STARS which, combined with match XP, contribute to a repeatable Weekly Challenge that grants a full Battle Pass level with each completion. STARS are XP specific to Battle Pass, meaning STARS do not impact Account Level progression.

Daily Challenges

Each day, you will receive three new Daily Challenges chosen randomly from a pool of over two hundred. These challenges range from “Deal 200 Damage in Bunker” to “Play 1 game as Lifeline” and are intended to be achievable in a short play session. Complete your daily challenge and earn 3,000 STARS each.

Your challenge pool will reset every day, so be sure to check back regularly to maximize Battle Pass progress.

Weekly Challenges

Each week, you will receive a set of seven new Weekly Challenges. These challenges are intended to take several play sessions to complete and range from "Get 20 Kills as Gibraltar, Bangalore, or Mirage” to “Loot 100 Epic items.” Four of the Weekly Challenges are worth 6,000 STARS each (24,000 STARStotal) and three of the Weekly Challenges grant an entire Battle Pass level each upon completion.

Starting the season late? No problem – you’ll get access to all previous Weekly Challenges at one. So, if you start in Week 3, you’ll get access to Week 1, 2, and 3 challenges immediately (21 in total).

Weekly Resetting Challenges

Each week, you’ll have an additional set of three special resetting Weekly Challenges. These are the same every week and refresh even if you haven’t completed them. Keep a careful eye on these to make maximum Battle Pass progress.

  • Complete five Daily Challenges – Rewards one Battle Pass level
  • Complete 10 Daily Challenges – Rewards one Battle Pass level
  • Earn 9,000 STARSand/or match XP – Rewards one Battle Pass level
    • This quest may be repeated an unlimited number of times each week.
    • Each completion increases the STARSand/or match XP required for the next by 9,000, up to a maximum of 54,000. You need 9,000 for the first level, 18,000 for the second level, etc. This challenge resets to 9,000 each week.
We hope the Battle Pass progression structure for Season 2 feels way more rewarding! As always, we appreciate all the support and feedback from the community as we continue to iterate and improve Apex Legends.

In work for 4 more hours.

AAAAAAAAAAA

Battle Pass looks a lot better but still not quite up to what Fortnite offers.

Gameplay is way better though so it's all good. 👀

Patch Notes

Click to expand...


It's mostly all good. I'm not really a fan of the energy magazines though and they didn't even put an icon for it on the guns so you can know which one you have at a glance. Hopefully they'll patch that in at somepoint though.

The only thing that really bugs me is they took out the xp bonus for switching legends. I leveled to 110 so fast last time without even playing that much. They promised faster leveling this time but even having done all of yesterdays daily challenges and some weekly ones, I'm only rank 4 having played a lot of games yesterday, so progression seems WAY slower and more grindy. Plus I'm gonna have to constantly dump teammates when I play with randoms so I can do the challenges (landing in certain areas, getting kills in certain areas, etc...), so it's counter-productive.

EDIT: seems like they added the energy magazine slot on the havoc and devotion now.

Oh man, I really wasn't ready to face my god awful stats lol. Also, it seems that the lifetime top 5 isn't working right, so I can't even comfort myself with that.

On the bright side, the game seems to run really well right now, and I like what Wattson brings to the game. Though I don't get how people can already be such experts at using her skills.
