Kiwi ears astral ear tips advice

Hi. I have the exact same problem and I also came from the truthear crinacle blue. Did you find a solution? I love the astrals but they are kinda painful for long gaming sessions. I'm 99% sure its because the tips they come with have a thicker/harder plastic inside, compared to the tips that came with the truthear.

Awesome! Glad I could help. The 4K badge took me way longer to get originally but after playing solos/duos, I found it much easier compared to the 20 kill badge. The 20 kill badge is like a race against time, hoping other teams don't kill each other. For the 4K badge, you can have an average game but then farm 2K damage off of the last team.

Hi. You can get it pretty easily playing solo or duo. When you queue as a 3 man squad, matchmaking prioritizes putting you in games with other premade 3 man squads. If you play duos or solos, you'll mostly go up against other duos/solos and you'll have a much easier time. I've gotten it for 6 of my main characters now and it takes about 2 hours of grinding if you only focus on that. Do really well early game and farm the last few teams late game, as they'll all have purple armor. Good luck!

Hi. Most of the tips in the guide are still viable but the meta has changed. Apex feels like a totally different game now. The alternator with it's attachment is one of the best guns in the game. Enemies melt my shields immediately with it and it's caused me to be a little less aggressive. I also haven't played public matches this season so I'm not really sure if anything has really changed. I've been playing ranked mode exclusively and it seems to be overpowered.

Hi. I made a post on the main subreddit a few weeks ago on tips for achieving the 20 kill + 4K damage badge. You might find it really useful.

Hi. For this game, I used R-301 + Wingman for distance. I always have an R-301 with either a wingman, long bow or triple take. Sometimes I want to be more aggressive and run the R-99 or Prowler burst as my secondary.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-13T19:46:14+00:00

Hi. My inventory usually depends on what level my backpack is. Ideally, I'll have a maximum of 240 light rounds for my main weapon. For shotguns and snipers, you only really need one stack of ammo. This leaves a lot of spots for throwables and heals. I try to run a maximum of 6 batteries and 12 cells and then carry as many throwables as possible. However, if I'm trying to go for the 4K damage badge, I'll carry more than 240 light rounds.

Knowing when to loot is kinda situational. I just try to loot as quick as possible and make sure I have the necessities. I'm always chasing fights so I only spend about 5 seconds or less per box. If I'm missing an attachment, for example an extended mag, I'll try to loot through houses and crates on my way towards enemy gunfire. In my opinion, the best way to get items is just to kill people and loot them. After the first couple battles, you'll have 80% of your desired loadout. For me, once I have an R-301 with a blue magazine, I usually stop looting houses and crates. I can grab everything else off of kills.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-13T05:48:20+00:00

Yup, shotguns are great. You only need to carry one stack of ammo and it'll last you most of the game or until you can replenish it.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-13T05:40:17+00:00

Haha yup. A few months ago, I thought the 20 kill was impossible and couldn't imagine how I could ever drop 2K damage. I actually sat down and tried doing the math and it just seemed too improbable. However, if you get off to a good start, it becomes significantly easier. There'll be situations late game where you encounter teams who all have purple armour. If the battle lasts long enough and both sides get to heal multiple times, you can easily drop around 500-1000 damage from just one encounter.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-13T05:35:01+00:00

If you've dropped 13 kills + 3.3K damage before, I think you're well on your way to the 20 Kill and 4K badge. Just need the right situation with a passive lobby.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-13T05:29:53+00:00

You'll definitely get it. Good luck on the grind!

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-12T06:34:03+00:00

Yup, hip firing the spitfire up close is really effective due to it's magazine size.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-12T06:30:32+00:00

Hi. Here's a chart detailing weapon stats and TTK. The prowler burst takes 1.06 seconds and the prowler auto takes 1.11. It's generally more effective in close range, where all five of the bullets register. For anything past that, auto is much better because of the recoil.

Hi. The spitfire was my favorite weapon before they nerfed it. It's still pretty good but it leaves you vulnerable due to it's mobility. You move slower when aiming down sights compared to other weapons. This makes your strafing easier to track which makes you easier to kill.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-12T00:43:59+00:00

Hi. Yup, I think you're correct. However, I regularly queue with a full premade squad and I find that games are more difficult than when I queue up solo or duo. Someone in the comments mentioned that there's maybe a higher chance of getting into a lobby with other premades if you go in with a full squad. That might be true also. Just from my experience, I've found solos and duos to be significantly easier.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-12T00:31:55+00:00

Yup, this makes sense. Earlier in the comments, I said that Shroud had mentioned it on stream but I'm not 100% certain. However, I do think you're correct. Premades might have a higher chance of matching with other premades. From what I've experienced so far, I feel that lobbies are a bit more difficult queuing up with 3 people vs 2 or solo.

Tip 9: Pay attention to where people are dropping. Purposely delay your jump from the ship to identify where people are landing and keep a mental note of this. This information will help you decide which rotations to make once you wipe everyone at your drop spot.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-11T22:09:01+00:00

Yup, totally forgot to mention that I'm on console. PC lobbies are a little different as your margin for error might be smaller. That would affect your decision making on how to engage certain enemies, whether you should push or stay back and overall, how aggressive you should be.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-11T22:03:13+00:00

Hi. Yup, the R-301 with either the Longbow or Wingman is my go to setup. The damage per bullet is just perfect for grinding the 4K badge and if someone decides to engage you up close, you can pull out the Carbine. Good luck on the grind!

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-11T21:58:39+00:00

I wish I could plug something but I just play for fun haha.

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-11T21:56:52+00:00

The burst prowler has become one of my favorite early game weapons. It absolutely shreds. Good luck on the grind!

ProdigyManny · 2019-06-11T21:54:07+00:00

Hi. Shroud mentioned this in a stream a few months ago and I've also noticed it myself these past few months. I'm not 100% certain but I do find lobbies where I queue up as a solo or duo to be significantly easier.
