Apex Legends

As if caustic wasn't useless before, just shoot the bottom red layer of his canisters to destroy them one shot :ROFLMAO: Oh and when falling, kick the ground just before landing to avoid the stun animation👀
 
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.

Weirdly enough i ads 90 percent of my shots with the peacekeeper, i have ads set to hold on right click so i sprint, slide, see the enemy, start my flick and hold right click and shoot ads so im ok with them nerfing the ads. However most of my shots on the wingman are hipfire because i hate the ads on that. But i normally run a scout and peacekeeper
 
When it is powered up does it not 1 shot kill?
The charge only decreases the spread, it doesn't increase the damage.

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.
Most likely it's happening because of the netcode of the game. There's a video earlier in the thread by Battle(non)sense that did extensive testing.

The Longbow deals 55 damage on body hit and 110 on headshot (again, can be reduced by helmets).

The only weapons that should be able to one shot you from 200 HP is the Kraber and the Mastiff.

The Kraber deals 125 damage on body hit and 250 on headshot. Level 1, 2 and 3 helmet makes it 212.5, 200 and 187.5 damage on headshot respectively (not sure if the game rounds up or down). This means you can only survive a Kraber headshot with a level 3 (purple) helmet and level 3 shield. Anything other than this and you are going down.

The Mastiff fires 8 pellets which deal 18 damage on body hit (144 damage) and 36 on headshot (288 damage). Level 3 helmet reduces this to 216 damage. If someone manages to hit all 8 pellets of the Mastiff on your nogin you are going down no matter what.
 
According to the damage numbers it cannot one shot if you have a level 3 shield, it's impossible. It's happening because of netcode issues where bullets don't register at first and then the next tick they all register at the same time. I've experienced this as well and plenty of other netcode related issues.

Whether or not it still deals too much damage and needs a nerf is a different discussion, but it cannot one shot.

It's still the only weapon that it happens with. So in it's current state with the current netcode issues it can one shot.

Should also mention this


and this

 
Most likely because it's the highest damage weapon (if you land all the pellets) other than the 2 legendary guns. 110 body damage is no joke. There's a reason it's one of the higher tier weapons.

If the netcode screws you and you get hit twice by it (or by two different people) then it will seem like you go down in one shot.

EDIT: To add, other guns are also capable of downing you in one magazine if all the shots land. R-99 deals 12 damage on body hit. With the 18 capacity magazine it deals 216 damage.
 
We can argue semantics all day ( I don't have time unfortunately).

It's overpowered to the point of being broken.
With the reload exploit it's completely broken.
 
Then how did I get a 197 with the kraber? And the thing that really gets me is when hear my bullets hit someone but no damage. I empteed an intire prowler purple mag full auto into a guy and I didn't get a single damage point.

As I said, whether or not it's overpowered is a different discussion. It is a top tier weapon that most people run (myself included) and for good reason. So it might need a nerf. I agree that the reload cancelling needs to be fixed. The drawback of the gun is supposed to be that it's lever action. Bypassing it makes it overpowered.

But if we are talking about one shot potential, the gun cannot do this if you have level 3 shield. This is shoddy netcoding and should not be factored into balancing weapons.

Are you sure it was 197 and not 187? If the game is rounding damage numbers down, then a level 3 (purple) helmet will reduce Kraber headshot damage to 187 (rounded from 187.5).

Other than that I don't know, according to the damage numbers it shouldn't happen. Do you have a video or screenshot of the 197 damage?

I need to start recording my games. Just for the crazy shit that happens sometimes. Got 1188 damage one match. No kills.

Maybe I did see wrong... I just felt pretty salty that It didn't drop him...
 
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.
It's getting nerfed, shroud doesn't use it anymore unless it's the only gun he can find.

On stream last night someone asked him why he didn't take the gold Wingman and he said it's completely broken and OP and he won't use it unless he absolutely has to.

He didn't say anything about the Peacekeeper but I think he feels the same because he also doesn't pick that up unless that's the only gun he can find when landing.

I'm so bad at this game maybe it's my ping but how do I find out what's my ping while playing? All I'm doing is going around collecting weapons and stuff and waiting to get shot at and die. Still on 0 kills and I've played like 10 matches, lost every single encounter with another player/squad so far.
I'm having the same experience, although I play with some friends and they seem to be a lot better than me wen engaging enemies and such.

Maybe Battle Royale just isn't the shooter game for my style of play. I guess I prefer stealth over straight combat, I seem to loose every 1 v 1

It's a fun game but it's not so fun feeling completely useless not being able to get kills and such

You're not going to get better if you avoid fights.
 
Something else I didn't mention was that Longbow and Wingman get increased headshot damage when using the Skullpiercer Rifling attachment. I can't find anything online about it but from testing headshot damage goes from 90 to 101 for the Wingman, which is a x2.25 multiplier over the base 45 damage. Thus the Skullpiercer Rifling attachment adds a further x0.25 multiplier.

This means the Longbow can deal 123 damage on headshot instead of the normal 110, assuming it also gains the extra 0.25 multiplier.
 
Playing with randoms hurts me until that one game you find someone that just has the tiniest bit of game sense, he won't say anything the whole game but when you win he will talk and then it was worth it.

Way in the beginning times of Fortnite in 2017 I was in a squad with three French guys, last two teams left and one of them overextends gets knocked and in French I assume he begs them for the res but they insta-kill him and they start to argue and he quits. I end up killing the last two guys and they errupt gg Soul Assassin, my man gg my man in their heavy accents making me feel like a hero, 10/10 experience.
 
Would anyone be keen to add me on Origin to squad up over the weekend? Been struggling with some of the randoms I've played with and could do with a little bit of consistency.
 
Had my first random quit to desktop with no explanation as to why it crashed. SIGH. Then I just load up Anthem and watch the load screen simulator there for a bit.
 
"Party Leader has left the match"

Had this happen twice yesterday. Then it just kicks me out :/ Even though no one left the game.
 
Swing me an invite gents origin name is Nivekzor , have about 40% wins now but want to play with squads for consistency rather..

Speaking of which, this morning I tried to play a round on my laptop, but it's too slow and choppy. When I was inevitably killed and I closed Apex, I got a message at the bottom saying something along the lines of "Cheating Detected x00000101" or something similar. Anyone else experienced this? Could it be due to a VPN or something?
