Yep. It's also a great opening drop gun as the iron sights are pretty good and on't block a ton of your fov.

Reddit is toxic and always will be.

But IMO the battle pass is pretty underwhelming.
Fair or not it it will be compared to Blackout and FN, both of those are better, especially FN.

But this is just try number 1. I remember FN's first pass. Only decent thing was the renegade raider.

right, I pretty much ignored it at first but now run it every time. just kind of clicked with me finally. the vertical recoil is easy to control from mid range I find.


here is some nerd math on the "value" of stuff we get from the BP.

"And we end up with a whopping 7790 Apex Coins in value for the small price of 950 Apex Coins."


I saw that too but it's not really about how respawn values each item in their currency. It is about how lacking each item is. There is not one thing I personally want in the pass.

I think the pass is fine. The apex coins alone should somewhat make this a one time purchase and just play to basically unlock the next battle pass.

As you said, its the first one and the first one for the other games were pretty underwhelming too. It'll take time for them to come up with content and themes and what not.

Sure, unless you solo queue and get them on your team like the game you posted on the last page

I reached lv 100.
I wonder if the battle pass lv 100 will take as long as that did for me.

I saw they said that you will get more xp if you swap legends instead of playing just 1.

I pretty much split my time between, bloodhound, lifeline and bangalore.

This is my question. If it takes just as long to reach that, then I'm not sure if I'll bother. I'm in 20s now, and I feel like I've put too much time into the game as it is.

Only energy weapon I like is the Triple Take with dot sight.

I prefer the light ammo weapons (Alternator, R99, R301, Scout).

I'll pick up a Wingman if I see one, and maybe a Peacekeeper if I don't have another weapon.

My favorite weapon combo is R301/R99 + Wingman. I suck balls with a sniper and aiming downrange, enough so that I always pass on the Kraber and Longbow to allow teammates to use them.

I originally liked the peacekeeper over wingman or other shotguns, but here recently I'm finding the EVA-8 better than I originally gave it credit for and will use that over peacekeeper, and the wingman is still just nasty. I guess my aim's getting better and so I don't need the 2 shots I land to hit as hard because I can hit more shots? Idk.

I'm only level 32

I said a few pages back I like the EVA 8 now. Especially with a good bolt. If you keep moving it fires so quickly that you can get some knocks. I get too many low damage shots with the Peacekeeper so until my aim gets better I don't pick it up.

Lots of good tweaks in there. Curious how the hit box adjustments will play out.

It really is the ultimate combo at the moment.

I've found that the Triple Take and Longbow at mid range with non ACOG attachment are very effective.

Had my first experience with the Prowler/select fire last night. Seems solid, but you need the hop-up for it.

FNs first pass was the knights though right? RR was the first season but i think the first pass was with the knights


I think that Apex's main problem for all of its cosmetics is that everything is too locked to a certain character/gun. In FN wraps can be used on any weapon but in Apex they're gun exclusive. Same for skins. In FN if you buy a skin you want you can just use it no matter what, but in Apex it has to be a skin you like, and on a character that you like to use in order for you to have fun with it. I could be mistaken, but aren't frames, poses, and quips character locked too? It's just hard for me to give a shite about the cosmetics when to use a lot of them I would have to use a character I don't like

Not to mention being a 3rd person game you already have a huge advantage when it comes to player skins. Who cares if you can't see yourself?

But Yea I guess you are right. The Knight pass (season 2) is the first one that cost money. I forgot.

That came out 2 and half months after release.
It has been 1 and a half since Apex released.
