i remember one game, a buddy and I both had gold shields and helmets. I also had a gold packback. lol it was the most weirdest game. but i only found them after i wiped squads and looted their deathboxes. we couldn't believe we had two gold shields.

Yeah I'm approaching level 60 and still don't have this trophy. I've told myself if I'm ever in a situation where I'll lose the game but get the trophy I'm going through with it. Sorry future teammates.
I'm amazed that the game has been out for so long and I'm still getting players drop out because I'm apparently a 'noob'.
Just had a game with a guy who literary swore at me and called me a noob because I chose Gilbralter as I'm trying to get the battle pass bonus and I only had 80 kills with him as I don't use him much.
Reported and blocked.

Join a private group before playing any online shooter. There's no good reason for putting up with random voice chat.
I've met some awesome randoms who I really enjoy playing with daily and the only way that happened was by wearing a mic. Yes you will run into shitheads. That's a given. But you'll also run into a few players you really click with.
Yeah. To add to my story of the dick head who backed out, the other random laughed when I said 'what a nobhead, I'm glad he left!' and we ended up talking through most of the match. Nice guy.
It is a shame that there is the odd fool. And especially frustrating that your seemingly judged on your stats when the stats in a game like this mean absaloutely nothing. You could literally be the best player ever with 1000+ wins and 20000 kills and decide to choose a character youve only played a couple of games with (like Gilbralter in my case)

Apparently getting a total kill count is just too insane for Respawn to give us but thank god we have a counter for the total distance I've grappled with Pathfinder! Sigh.
Kill more people, take their shit and you'll get it.
Rush drop zones, kill everyone, rush more people, kill everyone. You'll get it.
If you're still having trouble, work with friends to get it. One of my friends mentioned that he needed it and I was like 'don't worry dude, we'll get you those items' and we just hot dropped for an hour until he got it. Obviously, we gave him the items he needed rather than taking them for ourselves.
If you play with a group, just announce when you pick up a gold helmet or armor. At some point, you'll have both items in your group. Spend a minute in some closed building dropping and picking up your gear and you'll all get the cheevo.
Yep you guys are right, I need to start playing with my mic on when playing on PS4. Eventually I'll get a friendly teammate that will let me swap gear to get the trophy to pop :)
Something that bothers me about BRs is when the playerbase consciousness starts aggregating around one drop spot repeatedly. In this game's case, Skull Town. Worse here due to the squad nature of the game, where
Respawn should do a charity event with a special Mozambique skin where the proceeds go to disaster relief in Mozambique.

We always just drop Thunderdome now. Grab some purple shields with a spitfire and then mop up whatever mess is left over in skulltown.
Nope. It bounces around like it used to.
Low time to kill compared to the R301, less predictable recoil and more difficult ammo management. No reason to use it over the R301 really.
We used to do that as well, but yesterday we landed there with 4 other squads. That was more chaos than Ive ever seen in Skull Town.
All I've needed for weeks now is the one for getting 5000 damage with 8 Legends. I haven't played Bloodhound since the first week of the Battle Pass (he's still sitting at 25,000 survival bonus XP out of, what now, 150,000 total possible XP) and I dont use Caustic. So I'm not sure when I'll end up getting it. I should probably look and see how far off I am from getting 5000 damage with Bloodhound and just force myself to use him until I hit the number.
An Update on Apex Legends (4/25/19)
Interesting. So it looks like a new legend every season, which is ... 13 weeks?
I wish there was a mention of a new map, a new game mode, or some sort of prestige mode so we can start earning loot ticks after we hit the level cap. A new legend and "something for the meta" isn't much to get excited about after a 13 week wait.

Yeah, "content" four times a year seems pretty bleak for a battle royale. I am curious what they mean by "more meaningful content" in the next battle pass, so I guess I won't pass any serious judgment until then.
As previously stated in the thread, there are ways to keep it fresh for players beyond new characters and weapons. They could really use a rotating playlist that remixes the core game we already have in different ways.
Also finding the conflation of wanting a faster update cadence, better communication and bugs to be fixed as an endorsement of the 100-hour work week to be pretty bizarre. No one is asking the same people to work longer to achieve these things.

They're a smaller team and can't be expected to release new content and fix existing content at the same time with high frequency. I think that's what they're saying.
How about adding a Mayhem mode similar to what Destiny did? All ability cooldowns are super fast and you get ults faster too. This doesn't seem like it'd be too hard to implement. Maybe boost the player count to 100 since it'd be pure insanity and matches would be faster.
Are they fucking serious???? I thought the one character was going to be just for the first season. Are they actually planning to release ONE WEAPON and ONE CHARACTER per season? Are they bonkers? I defended them all day every day but they can honestly sod off now, this is pathetic content. Not even Overwatch was this poor. Basically they are planning 4 characters and 4 weapons PER YEAR plus minor changes.
I am done honestly. Regret buying the first season pass, this game is going to be abandoned soon by me
Barring Fortnite, which we KNOW is working its devs to the bones to pump content, isn't this pace par for the course for other BR games?
PUBG, especially on console, is updated at a literal snails pace. Not to mention that updates on console very frequently cause more problems than they solve. Blackout is definitely better but how much actual "content" has really been added to the game?
I'm totally fine with them being deliberate with the changes and content they're making. Looking forward to seeing the next Legend as well as the adjustments to the map that they've mentioned.
Same, I thought we were getting Watson and the L-Star soon :/
Fuck crunch and all that.. but uuh they won't even follow the original roadmap?
What happened? 50 million players happened I guess.

Wow, what an 'update' from them. I can't wait to get to work in an hour and read r/ApexLegends. Guess it's better to be let down now rather than get excited every Tuesday for the next five or six weeks and be let down repeatedly.
It's got me wondering what EA must be thinking about Apex right now. I thought that one of the big goals of publishers for modern online games was to try to get people playing you're game exclusively, to hook people and have them getting on every day. Especially for F2P games and GaaS title. This statement giving people who are getting burnt out on the game and wanting new stuff the go-ahead to take a month-long break from the game clashes with that.

you spent $10 on a game you enjoyed a lot up til this point? oh no
it's weird how people seem to want a game to be life consuming. it's okay to take breaks.
You spent $10. Are you serious? Think about what you're saying here.
How many times have we heard "we hear you" and "we are going to work on our communication"? Seems to be there will be no significant update until June? That's really a bummer. I understand that they don't want crunchtime I highly support this. But it can't be that hard or time consuming to release something like daily and weekly challenges. Or do some fun limited time modes. Especially with the Legends they have endless abilities. For example do a mode where everybody is pathfinder and there's no cooldown on the grapple hook... if it doesn't work and it's not fun: who cares, it's gone in a week. But at least the community sees that you are doing something.
Yeah, that's really just a whole load of nothing. It's nice to hear they're actively avoiding the dreadful crunch culture, at least. I'd never wish 70-hour weeks and endless crunching on anyone just for my own enjoyment of a game.
From my point of view, what the game desperately needs right now is definitely more game modes, particularly more goofier and casual ones that people have been talking about for a while now.
This is too much, though.

It's not about the 10 bucks for fuck sake, it's about the fact that I unlocked stuff that I will never use again and obviously I regret having hope for a game that will be interesting to play again in a year.
I really hope the guy interviewed got it wrong
Things like solo or duo modes aren't exactly taxing. How do I know? I've had plenty of games start where others have disconnected or quit and left me as a 1 or 2 man squad. For a short term fix they could easily push DUOs as is by just limiting party/matchmaking to two players per squad. Fuck all changes and testing really because we've already experienced this as players in the live game environment.
That sort of thing to me shows a willingness to push content. Do a quick fix then take your time to flesh out a solo or duo mode later on with added tweaks, features, rewards and changes etc.
It also feels like cheaters are pretty rampant with Apex TBH, so I understand them having to spend large amounts of resources dealing with that.
I'd prefer a new map over a changed map personally. I imagine that's a huge undertaking but I would prefer a new map at say 60% of the size. Faster games, quicker combats and they can tweak the loot/circle timings around that output as well.
