I assure you, they're killing it with cosmetics. I've spent R500 and I know some of my friends have spent well over R2000.
I've also seen some of the bigger streamers and Youtubers drop $1000 on apex packs.

That $1000 comes from subscribes who are watching them do that so they make that 1k back just by spending it haha

Some of them yeah, but some of them are small streamers.
Point is the cash is still going to EA/Devs, so the game is coining it.

It only makes sense. Why would they invest so much to make a game if they weren't going to make money of it.

Valid point in any industry nobody makes something for free if that was the case entire world would be bankrupt

This thread is bulky so I haven't checked if someone else is experiencing the same problem. The game crashes within the first few minutes into a game without fail. I've done driver updates and rollbacks clean installs of the game and origin, many different combos of graphical settings. If someone can help that would be so great.

Did you check the r/apexlegends subreddit? I've read that some people had similar issues and how they solved it.

Lots of people are having issues with AMD processors. There are tons of fixes but nothing that works 100% so you'll have to try them out until it works.

What guns are you guys liking? The SMGs are absolute beasts if you fight short-mid range. R99 and Prowler (with full auto attachment) just destroys anyone in front of you. If you're lucky enough to get both with level 3 (purple) ammo upgrades then you can mow down a 3 person squad on your own.

Peacekeeper is a great gun if you can aim. It's punishing with the lever action but it deals a ton of damage.

Long range I prefer the G7 Scout over the Longbow, though both are good snipers. Not a fan of the Triple Take even though on paper it looks good. Energy ammo is scarce and you need the choke to get the most out of it.

Devotion is in a similar boat. If you can get ammo for the thing and the turbo charger then it is a one man army. But you piss through your bullets so fast that you can take 1-2 fights and then are forced to swap the thing (energy is scarce!).

I don't like the ARs that much. Feels like you can always get something better (R-301, Hemlok, Flatline). Short range I'd rather have an SMG or shotgun, medium-long range I'd rather take a Scout or Wingman. I've had success with them all but I find myself swapping them out as soon as I find another gun. But this feels pretty much the same as Titanfall 2 where I also didn't like the ARs, so maybe it's just me.

Mozambique is the best gun in the game and I'm glad everyone keeps dropping them because when I get two of them you might as well just quit they are just too good.

DeityRaid · Feb 18, 2019

Wingman needs a heavy nerf. Either reduce time between shots & reduce ammo capacity or half the body shot damage. Everything else is decently balanced.

The constant crashing has really put me off of this game. Crash like every 3rd game. Driver update did nothing, neither did clean install to latest. Moved game to different drive and still crash. Disabled all overlays and still crash. Will try the Asus apps suggestion and the older drivers but if those don't work the fuck this game.

For me teamviewer running in the system tray was the cause of my crashes once I exited out of it was fine

Braducken · Feb 18, 2019

Hadn't experienced any crashes until I played with 2 of my mates over the weekend, they crashed almost constantly :/ was not fun. Also had that annoying bug where you res someone and they can only run at maximum crawl speed.

chriswp · Feb 18, 2019

Don't really agree with best combo, but definitely two of the nicest guns:

Prowler with auto attachment is too good

Warbear · Feb 18, 2019

I had more issues with my ps4 then the pc. A bit of lag. But that is almost definitely my Internet. But the ps4 had constant dc's in game. Before a game. Kicked me out after a game... Had to restart the game every round we played. But when this game works. Its glorious at times...

I run Scout 9 times out of 10. Ammo is everywhere. With a mag on it. You can just lay rounds down...
And then usually a flatline or spitfire.

Haha yeah running circles around the oak while he's running in slo mo. Was such an epic match we had though, 1 friend disconnected right at the start so was just the two of us playing super aggressive to get the match over quickly, I took out a total of 7 players before going down and leaving my slo mo mate alone with a full squad in the final circle haha

Yeah with shotguns you don't bother with ADS. The spray pattern is consistent so no need to ADS for additional accuracy.

The only exception to this is if you have Peacekeeper with the precision choke, since then you can focus your spray into a smaller area. You can either increase your effective range or line up more shots to the head, increasing the damage. But this shouldn't be done in close quarters (at least, not after the first shot) as the wind up takes quite some time.

I honestly don't see them nerfing it.
Their poster child loves it way too much. I'm quite fond of it as well.

If anything has to be nerfed it's the peacekeeper, you just can't compete with it close range. I've noticed more and more people running 2 peacekeepers in a team, if they rush you they'll win the fight 99% of the time. It just does way too much damage up close. 165 from a single close range headshot...No thanks.

Even then dont bother, use ads to charge your shot, then hip fire. It retains its charge for long enough.

I have never had so much fun in a game as i have had with the peacekeeper tho, running and sliding around boxes while hitting 90 degree flicks. To be honest i would find the game a bit boring if i couldnt do that

Of course it's fun, just like it's fun for me to rail an entire enemy team with the Wingman.
What's not fun is when you're the one in full purple gear, full shield and then you get one tapped by a peacekeeper.
Especially with something like Wraith, she can get in and out in seconds and destroy you in one shot without ever being able to react.

Not playing at the moment, new Nvidia driver brought back the crashes and I can't be bothered to roll back.
Will just wait for the devs and Nvidia to wake up.

Benjin · Feb 18, 2019

The Peacekeeper shouldn't be able to one shot you if you have purple shield (200 HP). The gun fires 11 pellets each dealing 10 damage on body hit and 15 on headshot. Maximum total damage that it can deal is 165. Headshot damage can be further reduced by helmets.

It does mean the weapon can 2 shot if you manage to land all 11 pellets, no matter if it's body or head.

Flex · Feb 18, 2019

Game randomly crashed twice this weekend. no crash report or anything. Hope they put in a rejoin function soon

AceSwiftShooter · Feb 18, 2019

Wrt crashes, 2 guys I play with crash very often. They're both running win7.
I'm on windows 10 and have only had 1 crash since the beninging.

Secondly, what's with this kak where you're playing a game, as in literally playing bang jump shoot, and all of a sudden you're out the game and in a queue with a person that has invited you to play despite not selecting Yes to join him.

When it is powered up does it not 1 shot kill?

I've been one tapped by it twice. Both times in full purple gear and both times in full view of my team.
I know what the numbers say, but it's happened. Also 165 damage is mental for a normal weapon. These are the kind of numbers you'd expect from crate weapons.
I dare say even the long bow doesn't hit nearly as hard with a full on headshot and that takes more skill to use than the peacekeeper.

Let's not even mention the reloading exploit on the peacekeeper. Quite a few assholes are using it.

Moral of the story; nerf hip fire accuracy. Substantially increases skill ceiling & still allows players to hit nutty shots, but both weapons will be nerfed soon.

Currently you HAVE to decline the invite. It's default is to accept if no action is given. I'd assume you can thank Origin for that one.
