Some games I hate- mostly when jumpmaster lands you right at a busy area and you get no weapon and have to try to punch someone who has a gun. Thanks for that landing spot choice! I know I should bail out, but I don't like to let the team down. Had some great games, but after one solitary win so far I seem to be getting good at either placing 2-5/6th or 18-20th depending on where we land. ![]() |

Registered 12 years agoDepends on your team make up I guess as to where is best to land. If I'm playing Caustic, and we've got say a Bangalore or Gibraltar, I'd be comfortable landing somewhere dense and taking an immediate firefight. If the team comp is more scouting/ambush/neutral heavy, with Bloodhound/Lifeline/etc, I'd rather we stayed on the skirts.
Mirage is a piece of shit for soloists as well. Do not like teaming up with players who pick him as his skills are purely self complimenting and don't really help the team. -

Registered 11 years agoDon't think I've ever played as or with a Mirage, but the tooltip says that if an enemy fires at his decoy, the enemy's position is revealed to the whole team. No? -

Registered 12 years agoNope. Or not that I've seen in my games with them. And even then the decoy is rarely used smartly, and mostly only used for self conservation. His passive and ultimate are purely self conservation as well. Which is fine solo, but a well rounded team is meant to compliment each other with their skills. -

Registered 10 years agoYep, my only win was with me using mirage and firing out decoys to draw out others. It worked very well tbh.
Been caught out like that all too often.
I prefer to play as lifeline or gibralter though to get to grips with how to play them, but it all depends who picks what. I should try out some others and see how they go too, but achievements for other classes... -

YMMV, obv.
At first glance, you'd probably say Mirage is a weak character. Reading his abilities kind of leaves you scratching your head on how he'd be useful, but in practice he ends up being surprisingly tactical and useful.
Let's get the passive out of the way first, it's pretty weak. The decoy isn't fooling anyone at this point, and being cloaked isn't super useful. Going for a thirst kill in Apex Legends isn't nearly as valuable as in most games due to the resurrect beacon.
Mirage's Tactical Ability, however, is extremely useful and versatile! Sending out decoys can be a great distraction and give you a quick advantage, you can use it to check areas for enemy squads, or send it ahead towards a beacon to see if it's safe.
Mirage also has one of the best get out of jail free abilities in his ultimate. While the decoys aren't super useful, they do provide distraction and a bit of cover from fire. The main perk is obviously the invisibility that can quickly get you out of harm, or it can allow for a great flank opportunity. -

Registered 16 years agoThis looks really complex from the gameplay vids. What I liked about other battle royal games is the simplicity.
How quickly are you all picking up the armour/weapons systems? -

Registered 12 years agoPretty simply. Pick up gun, shoot gun. Certain parts go in certain guns. Sniper stock goes on sniper rifles. Extended light magazine goes on light ammo guns. Etc. Different levels to loot easily identifiable by colour - White, Blue, Purple, Gold.
Really not too complicated. Only complexity comes at the start, and trying to find a decent gun before you're jumped/so you can engage in jumping others.
Learning certain gun behaviours will just come with time, like the rev up on the Devotion LMG, the kick on Wingman revolver, or how the Mozambique is an utterly useless piece of shit. -

Registered 11 years agoIt's fairly deep but you can pick it up pretty quickly. Make sure you spend a while trying out guns and abilities in the training mode.
I'm shit at it but it's great fun nonetheless. -

Registered 2 years ago@Load_2.0 it’s a lot simpler than it looks. Items are colour coded based on level. Test guns on in training and always keep a close range weapon on you ( not the Mozambique )

Registered 12 years agoI am stupidly proud of my Mozambique kill in opening minutes of a game last night. I was messing around with Pathfinder, and managed to hook an unshielded enemy with the grapple, then point-blanked them to the chest.
My team did wipe about 30 secs later. -

Registered 12 years agoI was watching some of a twitch Apex tournament last night (Go ZF!). Four hours trying to kill and win as fast as possible. Unsurprisingly, there was an absolutely ridiculous numbers of kills and wins per team, even though they were playing against randoms.
Weirdly, the US results were much higher than Europe/ROTW (link to results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/186juS-1cZRjistGrFTeV8-bHi_i6N4_D-j60YawekpQ/htmlview?sle=true#gid=0 ) - I've not watched any other tournaments, so I've no idea if this is 'normal' (for a given value of normal) or not- are US games faster?

Registered 12 years agoI'd imagine it's because the majority of the US teams had at least one ex pro FPS player (if not more) on their teams whereas the EU guys probably didn't (I don't recognise any of the EU as Pro players other than Break). -

I had one quick game last night and got in the top 6, mainly by following my better and more experienced teammate around.
Did you pick up the same gun twice?
To ping needed ammo, open the inventory menu, look at the weapons you have - each has the ammo icon it needs. Ping the icon.
To drop stuff, open the inventory menu, roll over any of the stuff you have and there will be a command to 'drop'.
I heard a "Need heavy ammo" at some point and I managed to drop one of the 2 clips I had. The guy was on voice comms and the next moment I heard a very chill. "My man!"
Still struggled to swap weapons though. I had a pistol and longbow. Swapped from longbow to pistol with Triangle. Wanted to swap back but ended up with the pistol coming up again each time. I think long pressing made me holster my weapon. Then back to pistol, back to pistol, back to pistol until I suddenly pulled out the longbow, despite not having done anything noticeably different.
Weird.
I felt a bit bad for my teammate. I managed to get myself killed, he went for the revive and almost made it. Died about 1 second before it completed. -

Registered 5 years agoHad my first "OMG YOU'RE FUCKING SHIT!!!" outburst from some spotty, teenage-sounding motherfucker this morning on the PC version. I think I've come across more polite and helpful French players on this than anywhere else!
I also joined the PS4 community late last night to check out what was going on, and see if there were any like minded 30+ players who wanted to play for the fun of it in the wee small hours.
Unfortunately the whole message board is filled with "LF SWEAT LVL 35+ ONLY. MUST BE GOOD. NEED PHOTO TO PROVE. BANGALORE AND WRAITH TAKEN"
FFS, the kids are taking over! -
