Hopefully some sort of stat tracking website turns up. Bit ridiculous that you can't even see your wins total. Those banners don't really solve it either.

Few tips for Apex. Some you will already know.

1) When aiming at anything using a X3+ scope, whether it’s a tree or player etc, on the right hand side of the reticle, it shows the distance to target (DDT) and also the bottom of the reticle shows the single digit values which also measure the DTT. For example, if you aim at a target that is 420 metres away, you would then raise the scope up to the value of 4 to hit the target.

2) Running with no weapon gives a speed boost. Sliding with no weapon on a downward or even surface gives you an even bigger speed boost.

3) The trajectory on grenades is 100% accurate but there is a 4 second timer with no way to pre prime. Grenades should only be used for long range kills only.

4) You can scale walls and wooden panels even if they are way above the jump radius. If the surface is flat, hold A on it and you will slowly climb up the wall.

5) Bangalore and Bloodhound and fast becoming the meta combo with a smoke and scan combo. Very dangerous.

6) When you are downed you can still open and close doors.

7) You will see large red balloons with a rope tied to them scattered throughout the map. These are fast travel points and will allow you to go back into glide mode.

8) The developers have confirmed that there is no difference in movement speed between the characters.

9) Change your damage visibility settings to “floating” in the settings menu.

10) Wraiths passive only kicks in if someone is aiming at you.

11) If you are sliding and jump (bunny hop), you keep your momentum, which makes you a nightmare to hit.

Someone watched the Jackfrags video on YouTube. :v

I think you can unlock different tabs for your banner. I got one in a pack that says track LMG shots. There might be one for overall kills rather than kills that day.

Curious... Apex loot boxes, I used my 1000 coins off Origin Access on 10 of them. Game says you're guaranteed a legendary every 30 boxes. Does this include ones acquired off levelling?

Pretty sure Gilbrator is slower than the others...

I thought so too, so much i hated playing him, but apparently its just his arms move slower while they swing when hes running, giving the perception that he moves slower

Does anybody know if these speeds are the same when weapons are out? Gibraltar just seems so sluggish in comparison to everybody else..

Without a doubt I die far more using him and far quicker and I had put this down to his slowness. Maybe he's just a bigger target?

I do wonder about the hit boxes. I feel like wraith is harder to hit because she doesn't run upright.

Grumpypants

He is bigger so easier to hit but he has the shield to balance that. He does feel slower though, but I've been on a few servers where it feels like I'm running in treacle. But that happens with any character.

I'd be surprised if the hitboxes weren't the same for every character

Never really got in to this whole BR fad but have been playing this the last two days and really enjoying it.

I suck, but somehow I’ve won three games!

Could they have not just kicked down the doors?

All though I only found out you could do that a few days ago, so I probably would have been running around like a gob****e too.

How many fcukin times have you got to shoot someone??
Im sick of ambushing enemies, pumping them full of lead, they dont die & I get killed by a shot or two... melter !

Eta: Im using shotgun & big machine guns.

What weapons are you using? and how far from the enemy were you?

Close enough. A few feet. Using shotgun & big guns. Im not missing that much. Maybe my internet is not as fast as these fcuks.

They could have souped up armour/guns and could be hitting head shots

Is anyone else finding the shotguns surprisingly effective? Eliminated a squad by myself last night (and got the kill leader trophy too!), the play wasn't anything special, but the peacemake shotgun just seemed to rip them asunder. It was a hot drop and they pushed us pretty much straight off the drop, so I suppose there's a good chance they didnt have great loot.

Until I read the comments on that vid, I had no idea you could melee the doors...

You can climb the trees! I've played hours and hours and I've just realized this.

The peacekeeper and wingman is prob my most used load out, the peace keeper is amazing, especially with the choke, you can shoot the thing long range then.. the other two auto and pistol shotgun are crap. The Mastif (package drop shotty only) is the best gun in the game IMO..

Game started off fairly easy, I was getting plenty of kills and winning games. Now I haven't had a kill in a while despite pumping them full of lead. I empty both guns on them, they live, I have to reload, they shoot me on one clip and I'm dead.

Managed only my second win there as Lifeline, and was actually the only member of my team who'd killed anyone (a whopping three!) so feel satisfied with that. Undermined ever so slightly by the fact I'm pretty sure the other last two teams wiped themselves out while I was healing after a firefight and reviving a teammate :pac:

I was initially all about the shotguns, but I've found a decent machine gun with a decent ammo stock can do wonders. Having both on reserve seems the way to go (I say that mostly as someone who hates sniper rifle gameplay, mainly because I'm terrible at it).

I'd normally be all about the solo play option, but I love that with this I can drop into a game with randos and communicate with them effectively without having to turn on a mic. The ping system truly is a quietly genius piece of design that I reckon you'll see other games nicking fairly swift-like. I've ended up a few games where the other players have dropped out before the drop and ended up on my own, and it's just not the same tbh even if a full solo mode would obviously be much better balanced.

One weird little design flaw I've noticed is that ultimate accelerants aren't in the healing item wheel. Feels off to have to go into the main inventory to use them when you can basically ignore it otherwise.

Also: I love catching a glimpse of the multi-coloured jump trails during the first descent. Minor but fetching flourish.

That explains why I can never find them after I pick them up.

This. This is what puts me off these games in the end. You can get the jump on someone but because they were lucky enough to find good armor you still end up losing to them.

Has anyone done a BR mode yet where there is no armor pick ups? I haven't played it since the first game, waiting for Solo, but I also feel by the time that happens, everyone else will know the maps/locations like the back of their hands. Being n00by in these type of games is a massive disadvantage.

So... it's exactly like Deathmatch games that have been around for more than two decades... where you scurry asap for armor and guns upon spawning?
