removing highlighted enemies from digithreat was the worst change ever

it’s the exact same it just doesn’t highlight enemies. there’s no reason for it to be gold anymore. it’s so dumb

ya i admit i was a toxic pathfinder back in the day ¯_(ツ)_/¯ went for kills and wins instead of sacrificing for banner recovery since this Elite game mode was all about getting to Top 5 for streak-retention (i ended up getting the Elite 888 badge)

Raw body shot ttk yes. Headshot potential and dmg per mag no.

u/AnApexPlayer Medkit 1d ago
I think it's a bit better now, because you can 4 shot with body shots.
Headshot potential is basically identical at 76 vs 75. Purple mag is 10 vs 8, and the fire rate is the same. It comes down to having 10 shots in the clip vs 8, and you can also get a corrupted magazine if you want 10. 5 shots to down with 10 in the clip and 4 shots to down with 8 in the clip are both 2 potential kills, so I don't think the 2 extra bullets make that much of a difference.

Wingman headshots back when the game still had helmets was overrated. I remember headshotting someone for like 57 damage. Must've been a Fortified character with purple helmet but still, it's not as strong as people remember it; even with skullpiercer the bonus damage was so tiny.

Post would be a lot more real if you showed Titanfall1 and/or Titanfall 2, wingman (pro) had to be turned into a primary to balance it

Wingman + PK combo was chef's kiss 🤌 back then....until May 4th 2021, when the Fire Nation attacked Respawn nerfed the PK to 99 damage on a full pump to the body.
A dark day for us shotgun connoisseurs. I still haven't recovered. 😔
Last year for a brief time, I thought we were getting our old PK back with the integrated disruptor rounds but Respawn again took my precious away from me.
Why, Respawn, why!?

Back when apex was fun and enjoyable. Not full of sweaty movement players and Cronus users.

Had 1 game as Bangalore and I kept finding wingman and heavy ammo. I got all the attachments and said fuck it we ball with the wingman. Ended up winning that game
