Just got 5 knock downs with an LMG for a challenge.
And it didnt unlock...
Why?
Because the challenge was with SMGs. I need to learn to read!

I can't say I ever looked at the text on the S2 XP boosts so I didn't realize that. I know S1 was just an XP boost but I guess I was wrong about them changing it this season. The XP boosts don't particularly benefit me all that much anyway though, since I only play with one other person.
No wonder most people get stuck in Gold for the whole season. Things like choosing not to engage, disengaging or leaving teammates behind when it's too dangerous seem to be completely foreign concepts in solo queue.
Being skilled with weapons is only a tiny part of ranked play (until a certain point obviously), which is why I enjoy it so much. Good tactics are much more important. Which makes playing with randoms all the more frustrating this season

I wish they'd just add solo queues so my experience can stop being ruined by absolute brain dead teammates.
I played solo ranked a lot these days, and one of the things that infuriated me the most were: teammates not disengaging when asked several time about it, teammates pushing when it's not ideal to do so, teammates not listening when instructions are given as to where to go, immediately, in order to get out of a pinched situation, or in order to prevent being 3rd/4th partied. I often end up losing those games, with me saying "I hope you know this your fault, player who didn't listen and do the thing/go to the place I asked several times to do/go, because you put the whole team in jeopardy with your awful decision-making skills, thanks, GG!" (yes I remain polite still though). I know, I'm maybe salty (a bit), but at some point people gotta learn and reflect.
Just today's session was full of me trying to lead the team in clever ways, only for our team to just straight up dying because of teammates deciding that they suddenly became Rambo with invincible shield on. Exhausting.

I feel like when I play apex on a weekend evening I either get matched with great teammates and win and feel content and play something else or every match is a disaster
yesterday was the first one, today is the second lol

I admire your tenacity, I always just mute the fuck out of everyone on the character select screen. How often would you say you're getting teammates who listen ?
Another good thing about the new RP system though is that dead teammates are a lot less inclined to wait things out since the reward for high placement without kills is really low now. So there's quite a bit of ragequitting going on still, and Loss Forgiveness points as a result.
Yeah, I'm not sure what's up with that. I've seen 3 total so far, but only one was actually in an area while the rest were boxes. And they've all been the golden triple take.
I'm currently in Gold and the game is not letting up with torrent of garbage randoms my word. Last game, guy drops us in the same place as half the server, gets downed immediately then spends the next 2 minutes screaming at us for being shit because we can't actually get to his box with our level of equipment and about 4 squads fucking about the area. Just muted him and left the area. Should have unmuted 5 minutes later to see if he was still dripping with impotent rage lol.
Got 32 wins on my Wattson, finally broke 30 today with her. 43 total! And I'm in Plat now :0 wew
Man playing early morning as a plat sure is fun ! Sessions are fucking half full of diamonds and players who were Apex last season. -120Rp and counting let's go ! Sessions have zero balance whatsoever, I get steamrolled but hey at least there's less matchmaking time for the best players !
It is a legitimately terrible weapon that needs serious reworking if Respawn wants it to be seen as a valuable care package weapon.
They need to up the damage considerably AND remove either the heat mechanic or magazine limit. It shouldn't have both... it's just clumsy.
Do unranked matches use skill-based matchmaking?
I logged into a wrong account and felt godlike with a three winning streak.
Meanwhile my lv70 account always can barely maintain 250 damange and 1 KD.

Titanfall 2 it didn't use ammo and it was one of my favorite weapons. Think it did more damage too. I don't ever touch it in apex. I would try using it if it didn't use ammo and limited ammo at that. I like the suggestion before that charge rifle should be in care packages and LSTAR should be a world spawn.
Alright, Tuesday tomorrow which is normally patch day.
Sweepstakes on Charge Rifle nerf?
I'm thinking damage changes will be minimal but the small beam charge time will be increased somewhat significantly, the time between shots increased and the ammo used per shot changed so the small beam uses 1 shot and the main beam another shot with the mag size doubled to compensate.
I feel like damage changes are a hard tightrope to walk with the weapon because on paper the damage isn't that high, it's the burst of it and accuracy of it that's a problem.

The problem I always had is the muzzle flash, which hides your target if you're aiming down sights. Did they reduce that at some point?
It really should. That would make it so versatile. It's already a decent gun to use but I think that would increase the fun factor in it.
I don't see L-star moving from care packages. I'm thinking eventually they will put one of each weapon type within packages. Can you imagine an OP pistol of some sort? Maybe one that comes with an added slow ability if hit within a close range.
Solo requests seem to be lower now that the mode has passed. Looking back on it I'm not really sure it was that fun of a mode. There would definitely need to be more structure to it if it were to be viable long term. I'd be curious if a survey went out if more people would want a quad or duo mode compared to solo. I'm thinking it would be overwhelming in favor of more party modes and easier to implement from the developer side as well. Something so simple as changing the party total can alter the gameplay a lot. Taking down a quad squad is way harder and could make for interesting respawn battles. Duos could offer some unique run and gun style gameplay since you can run into a fair amount of solo players where a teammate hasn't been re-spawned. Both party modes would allow for ability synergy as well.
Its always the ones with incredible stats that play the worse.
We had a random with us last night with over 1000 crypto kills that couldn't hit a barn door with a hand full of sand at 2 feet... the guy was wiffing R-99 shots on a stationary target that was close enough to touch. Are these people handing over the controller to their little brothers/sisters when they play with us?
My mind is blown that these people have got to gold 1 and have stats like this.

Apex Legends is updating the training mode and will be called Firing Range.
Here's a video timestamped to where you can see details.

October fucking fifteenth, as if Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds (PS4) wasn't enough lol
But the mode looks amazing. It's been AGES since I last played an infection mode so I'm definitely looking forward to this.
Seems you drop loot directly when killed in the new mode instead of dropping a death box. Makes sense if the idea is that you're constantly being pursued.
Finally made it to Plat 4, yay! Now the real grind starts for me, that is where things are getting tough! Let's hope it goes better than I think it will!
Woooh, nice, this looks dope! Somehow it's fun how it lowkey reminds me of Left 4 Dead (1/2). I have nostalgic flashbacks, I anticipate this mode a lot!
Let's get spoopy!

Yeah the robot standing on top of things striking poses and yelling at the competitors.
