Happy about all these changes.
1)While the basic 3 free ranks are fun, hopefully we get more traditional double xp weekends like they've hinted
2)Spitfire nerfed? Not sure this was an issue because of the slower bullet spit. I felt like this was one of the better balanced 'good' guns and objectively worse then lets say the 301
3)Lets see how the long range goes. Going to be interesting since the handful of time you get caught in a snipe battle in the final circles its been stressful.
4)Lets see how the big boys turn out. would love for em to be more viable because they are still great designs

Yep.
Thank god they addressed the sound. Videos were constantly flooding the subreddit of different glitches.
mmm
- Gold Havoc
- Now has Turbocharger
- Now has 1x-2x variable holo site
- Gold R301
- Now has 1x-2x variable holo site
- Gold Wingman
- Now has digital threat
now those are gold guns i want to pick up.
They haven't implemented any yet but they acknowledged they are aware of issues and working on them for another patch "soon" I think they are needing to pin down the actual issue more as it's such a sporadic bug I am guessing hard to pinpoint
The post just says they're aware of the reports on sound/slow-mo servers/hit registration issues and are continuing to work on them.
I feel like that Wingman nerf is REALLY gonna change the meta -- especially early game. As it is with 6 shots, you can easily down two people without needing to reload provided you hit all your shots. The same cannot be said for most other guns. Given the nerf to 4 shots, you can now only down 1 person who has no shields before needing to reload (two if you hit only headshots). Seems fair to me.
Also, happy about the Spitfire damage and mag nerf. Should balance that gun out a good bit.
The Havoc changes seem quite nice as well. The charge shot was a bit lame given its low damage and falloff. You can now break purple armour with two shots at range, which I think will make it a decent choice to prep for a rush.
REALLY happy about the sniper changes as well. The long range game feels great in this game, but it doesn't really pay off to carry a sniper given that something like a Wingman really outclassed it at most ranges.
Oh, and the Legend buffs. I'm interested to see how the 10% damage reduction passive really impacts their viability. In reality, it's basically only a single bullet difference in most cases. We'll see. I like that Gibby's shield is now stronger and that Caustic can YEET his cans (which also now do more damage) further.
Looking forward to trying the patch. Also, in case you didn't see -- if you place in the top 5, you get a free BP level. You can get that bonus once a day 4/16-4/18. Nice gesture.

I doubt I'll even bother to grab the wingman now.
Guess I'll stick with a R99/301 - Eva 8 combo.

welp, my scout just got better.
lol my combo of scout/hemlock single fire is going to be even lovelier now. mmm yes

- LONGBOW DMR
- Increased fire rate 1.2 -> 1.6
- Increased magazine size
- Base mag increased: 5 -> 6 rounds
- Common mag extender increased: 6 -> 8 rounds
- Rare mag extender increased: 8 -> 10 rounds
- Epic mag extender increased: 10 -> 12 rounds
I know I saw the numbers. I wanna actually feel the firerate in game is what I'm saying.
Oh I see, yeah I'm itching to get into the game on my lunch break
In the same boat. Gonna try out the patch on break and see how the big boys feel lol.
I feel like the havoc was pretty underrated, that's a pretty huge buff for it.
Overall the patchnotes seem really solid. Playing Caustic and Gib for the battlepass has really made it apparent how awful they are, so it's nice to see they even if this still doesn't work that they're aggressively going to scale until they're viable.
...poor Mirage.

In case anyone is blocked from Reddit at work.....
I think the Wingman change is good. Now if only they'd boost the appearance rate. I actually hate the some weapons are better and more rare approach, outside of supply drop weapons. I'd much rather all guns be pretty well balanced and allow you to be able to do well with anything you find and just have personal preferences than have defacto good and bad weapons.
Curious to see how the big legend boosts work. I'm close to unlocking Caustic, but have been trying Gibraltor out a fair amount. Definitely took me longer to secure a win with him than with any other character.
I have also been trying the Havoc, so the bigger mag size is nice.

Yeah, that seems pretty big, should hopefully lead to more spread.
I think a big part of the hidden reason so many people drop early is because of how slow it goes. Excited to see how it works with this change.
Yep, homeboy most likely fell to worst legend status after this update lol Hopefully he's next on the buff list since I do like his decoy ability.
A few changes that could be cool:
Decoy sends out a random Legend instead of just Mirage.
Ultimate creates several different Legends that perform random actions, including aiming and shooting fake bullets at other players.
Some interesting changes and should change the dynamic of the game somewhat.
- Base wingman now only has 4 shots, a good move.
- Increasing the jump ship speed 50% is quite a change tucked away at the end there! That will change how I approach my jump and when I do it
- Buffing snipers may mix things up a bit
All in all a nice set of changes and I look forward to giving it a go later.

as a user of mirage, i still fall for bamboozles.
ive seen people unload a clip into one i sent only to turn their back to me and let me give them a nice pat on the back.

Wow! Those are some great-sounding changes.
10% damage reduction for Gib and Caustic? Maybe it will make those characters viable. They were certainly in a bad spot as of last night.
Also ... I know no one here actually plays caustic but they buffed his gas drop damage from 1 points/tick -> 4 points/tick. That's ... huge. The gas trap will actually do some damage now..
Wingman 6 -> 4 bullet magazine seems like a pretty large nerf.
Havoc boost ... is that even necessary? That gun already seemed pretty strong.
And what's essentially 3 free battle pass levels in the next three days? Very yes, thank you. I'll take those.
Can't wait to log in tonight.

Neat patch. Booted up the game, played a single boring ass game with randoms where we barely saw anyone, ended up in top three, got the free BP level and stopped there lol.
The exhaustion is starting to set in for me, too. I'm still enjoying it and if it wasn't for MHGU I'd probably still play it daily, but now that I have new games to play I can't see myself starting up Apex that much. I'll be back when the next major shakeup happens, which is hopefully new gamemodes.

So I saw these changes and finally decided to hop back in; I played the first few weeks of release a bit and enjoyed it quite a bit, but got distracted with other stuff and then the BP was.....not great so I never got back on. Good news is mechanically I still love the movement and gunplay. Bad news is I haven't played since basically launch so I'm only level 29 and getting absolutely destroyed in every encounter by dudes with 5k+ kills etc.
It's gonna be a rough transition back I think lol. I went ahead and bought the pass though.

I love every one of these changes.
I already main Caustic despite his disadvantages and he's going to be an absolute mass murderer now lol
Anyone know how the gas tick works now? Is it 4, 5, 6, 7 etc?
That adds up over a long gunfight, especially as damage reduction makes healing more effective. For example you'll take 45 damage instead of 50, but then heal for 25 which is a larger portion of lost health.

As of yesterday it was one point per tick. Gas traps were for blocking doors, slowing down and spotting enemies, the damage just wasn't a factor.
Bangalore's smoke grenade does 10 points when it hits an enemy. That's more damage than a gas trap would ever do.
Now it's 4 points per tick ... so 4, 8, 12, etc.
