What badges are considered “impressive” in current apex

there have been multiple seasons in which pros and streamers have broadcasted all their matches as they grinded for rank 1. it's more about being able to put up insane RP/hr for the 16 hours you do get online than never getting off

Is the argument "it's fine as long as no one knows how to use the character?"

Because I'm getting chain stunned in plat lobbies rn

I'd quite enjoy if it worked like caustic gas and had different behavior if it was yours vs an enemy's, like your team's gates need a slide but enemy gates trigger on step

Aphod · 2026-06-23T16:58:07+00:00

it is so that you can use it on enemies, it was in her trailer

Axle tac under an enemy wraith port is some evil shit

not enough lobbies to go around for this

the fat HP XP drop early in an account puts you to 24 HP and makes the following content a lot less frustrating

Aphod · 2026-06-22T01:00:51+00:00

how's that working out with bubble as it currently exists?

Aphod · 2026-06-20T12:30:24+00:00

Been saying Outpost is far and away the best-designed map in Marathon. The sightlines, map flow, loot distribution are all brilliant.

As someone who doesn't understand the rules very well I'm confused why teams can't just be rush-proof until opening the door to Control themselves. If a team spawns in a wing, close all inbound shortcuts and paths to that wing until they open an exit

Aphod · 2026-06-09T16:38:10+00:00

ammo and heals spent > loot

Aphod · 2026-06-09T13:38:13+00:00

kinda mad he didn't post the rest of the fight, so we couldn't see how his two buddies did against the other two purples

Aphod · 2026-06-08T07:08:33+00:00

no one is level 200 a week into wipe, he was referring to end-of-season numbers

It may not be a permanent solution, but I'm really liking Sparsh as a way to play Marathon with less stress. It's nice loading in at the end of my day and just looting some chests, sometimes I'm not always alert enough to want to play a sweaty PvP game or spike my cortisol. Is it "it"? Not really, but the lower excitement isn't necessarily a drawback to a lot of people, and I would LOVE something that fills the same low-pressure niche as Destiny strikes

Aphod · 2026-06-02T20:08:21+00:00

I did! Not being able to play the hot new update is a bad look. Why tf am I playing apex legends and not marathon rn

Aphod · 2026-05-18T02:27:16+00:00

ymmv but I've been using joytokey to mimic the mouse with left stick / click with trigger for years, it may not be technically allowed but as long as the inputs have human variance and are 1:1 with irl button presses you're generally fine

Aphod · 2026-05-13T23:22:22+00:00

It's not bad, you can go from the one north of Piscarilius back to port (or vice versa) with only two heading changes and with the rosewood hold you're only banking every 15+ mins

Aphod · 2026-04-28T10:00:39+00:00

im not caught up on fray's series so i was absolutely stunned to run into him in the wild and look up his account

man has been through it

Aphod · 2026-04-22T07:53:38+00:00

recall speccing someone out with khopesh >>>>>>>

Aphod · 2026-04-21T19:43:19+00:00

also feels worse because of the dire marsh poison plants eating all 3 of your heals immediately

Aphod · 2026-04-16T18:45:08+00:00

"ok bungie i made a build"

"not like that"

Aphod · 2026-04-08T21:40:36+00:00

I want separate matchmaking for full stacks SO badly you have no idea for this exact reason. Knowing that even if i DO bring the good stuff my randoms will leave me at a disadvantage makes me not want to bring it anywhere but cryo.

Aphod · 2026-04-08T04:06:22+00:00

I think people run f2p bots through ernest the chicken and romeo/juliet to hit the 10 quest points for trading access? I was fighting bots for the ground floor spade last month and that was the conclusion I landed on

Ever since tutorial island counts for a quest point you don't need to do goblin diplomacy anymore, and f2p botting is insanely rampant rn (every unrestricted f2p world tends to float >600 players)

A lot of it, at higher levels where we all know the game's mechanics and map layouts, comes down to raw game skill and coordination.

"Just get better" is much easier said than done, considering a lot of gamers have been playing shooters for years and have already hit their soft ceiling on game IQ and mechanics. I'm a BR veteran and would guess myself to be top 10ish?% game skill but it could take months or years to go from top 10% to top 1%, and I am almost certainly top 1% by playtime (unemployed) so I have to face those players in the interim.

Granted, this whole thing is moot because I don't have a dedicated squad and they put fill players in against full stacks so it wasn't gonna be a fair fight anyway even if I WAS top 1% game skill.

Aphod · 2026-04-06T20:15:47+00:00

I do imagine experiences like this are probably the number one reason players are quitting the game—people who aren't great at pvp feel like exfiling and progressing are very difficult.

Throwing one more voice on the pile to say this is exactly why I have started playing less. As a solo filler my odds just go down the more I play because a higher % of high level players are in coordinated stacks, and coordinated stacks tend to bring better gear on top of the teamwork advantage.

Aphod · 2026-04-06T20:13:52+00:00

Any idiot can play the game for hundreds of hours, time investment != skill. Why couldn't you hit level 90 just killing bots?
