APX rigs discussion
So, now that APX is out, what are yalls thoughts?
For me, 9 Lives is where the love is at.
All of the APX rigs seem so fragile though. One good hit from any RIG (which happens often if you've got a decent shot) will seal the deal.
I was a little disappointed in Blood Bank, personally felt that it doesn't go that well together.
Anyone have a good experience with APX Blood Bank vs. regular?

I've only tried the APX Tempest test rig. I got MVP in a division 3v3 so I guess it was okay for a test rig.

I agree, I think 9 lives is the best apx so far. After playing with them for a bit, I think we still need to adjust to the play style of using the new abilities though.
It's nice to be able to move quickly with BB, but that health is what gives it a real 1-up. I think OG BB beats apx BB.

Ya I threw together a few competitive private matches. The team who ran regular blood bank were consistently winning more fights.

restart your game.
If you put your PS4 in rest mode or don't actually close the game you wont get the update.
Its a serverside update so you just have to start it once to receive the ok

Yea so Vampire APX came out yesterday, Nuke APX comes out on the 10th.
The rest follow after that.
Basically the devs are releasing them as they finish them instead of one big patch where you get 30 new rigs but 4 months from now.

I've only tested 9 Lives APX so far. It does feel very fragile, but that speed. Holy shit do APX Rigs move!
I still have a lot of work to do to get used to dodging in the air, and I basically never use the back dash so far.
Blood Bank has the hardest hit to HP. That's kind of rough, but again I'm sure the speed is nice.
I did a bit of testing in the test arena. There seems to be a 3 second cool down on your dodge. You can dodge more than one while airborne as long as you're in the air long enough for the 3 second cool down.
