Apex Legends Dev Tracker

If the 200 isn't lining up that's a bug. You can verify if it's working or not by pinging a location, checking the reported distance, lining up the mildot, firing, and checking the impact point vs. where you pinged.

That's a good point. The 50m had to do with the ranges that engagements actually tend to take place in Apex, and the exaggerated velocity and drag of the projectiles (there are reasons for that too, but they're outside the scope of this discussion). The combination created instances where targeted headshots at average engagement ranges (generally far less than 100m) would pass over the head of the target, due to the upward trajectory required to zero at 100m.

That said, I believe at some point we increased the sniper class weapon projectile velocities, so it seems worth revisiting the zero distance. I realize that user adjustable zero distances could also help resolve this, but it's a pretty meaty feature to add for a type of gameplay (long range sniping) that isn't really how Apex tends to be played. (that doesn't mean it's completely off the table)

Projectile has a velocity, the velocity is modified by gravity and drag. I think the calculations are done using Runge Kutta 4, which is pretty standard in games.

For the record, this is completely untrue. Where did you get such an idea?

Edited for clarity; quote shortened to relevant portion

I am not one of the experts, but I believe you are completely correct. 👍🏼

Great stuff here, hope it gets more visibility!

Nice job! :D

This is the old town that used to exist, but now Octane's Gauntlet is there, and has been for over a month.

So, some old bug that was screenshotted over a month ago, has definitely been fixed since then, and then posted 2 hours ago?

Ah I see - A lot actually. :) So while the details of this short were written specifically for it, the concept was created during her inception. We flesh out backstories for all our characters. It helps us figure out their personalities, desires, motivations, etc. We're careful about what we release because in cases like this short film, we want to insure we can properly pay it off. Also once it's out there, it's canon. Since we don't want to retcon anything, we need to be sure.

not sure what you mean by that.
