I’m guessing havoc is being left out? Damn the select fire is so bad even the devs are ignoring it /s
I’m kidding but the damage drop off happens too fast imo. It seems even at 100m it drops like a rock in damage
Havoc in autofire mode has the fastest projectile flight speed & least dropoff in the AR class. Single fire mode is hitscan so that's pretty much instant, but it has the charge time.
Can you comment about where shotgun rounds rank in travel speed? Are all the shotguns the same, and does the precision choke affect the speed of the shot?
Shotgun class has the lowest projectile speed in the game. Fastest -> slowest in that class: Peacekeeper/EVA, then Mastiff, then Moz
None of the attachments or hopups affect projectile flight speed (except Havoc selectfire changes to hitscan)
Big dick move commenting. Respect.
not trying to big time anyone, I like weapon threads =)
Maybe some battlepass info finally?
nahhh tho that's /u/Jayfresh_respawn territory
Can you give us a reason why this deviation is in place? Sniping is already a second-class play-style in Apex simply based on the fact that players are forced into close engagements the longer the round goes and mobility is so high. Why go on to make it even further unreliable by adding travel time deviation on to already stupendously low bullet velocities from rifles that are meant to be used at long range?
Reason is... we thought it was cool and fun
We may want to change up the ranged combat meta in the future, but in the meantime I appreciate you giving thoughtful feedback.
EDIT: clarified this comment here. Variable outgoing projectile velocity for the same weapon would not be cool or fun.
Yeah, the Triple Take's bullet travel is literally half of any other sniper. I knew it was fast but this surprised me
Energy rounds are always the fastest in their weapon class. Fun fact, the highest velocity rounds in the game are fired by the Devotion
Edit: We saw this post and are taking it seriously. It's definitely not intended behavior for projectiles from the same weapon to take a variable amount of time to hit the same target. I was adding some info about the general design of how energy rounds should be different, which was not really on topic, so it was confusing. My bad
Also worth noting that the EVA 8 does not have its spread reduced when ADS'ing, but the Mastiff does. (Left is without ADS, right is with ADS)
I wonder if this is intentional? I would think maybe the Peacekeeper is intentional, since it has the Precision Choke slot, but the EVA 8 doesn't, so I'm not sure.
EDIT: I was curious if someone else noted this and searched "Peacekeeper spread" on this subreddit and just found this thread, which shows essentially the same thing but clearer. Going to keep my post up because it seems some people are still learning from it, but do check out u/Handsome_Claptrap's thread if you want to see the spread shown more clearly.
the thread you linked is pretty good.
the only weapon not mentioned in that post with default ADS choke is the Triple Take... and with the Precision Choke hopup equipped it chokes it down even more over time while ADS.
Awesome! You should consider finishing this thing.
I'd personally try changing the hats at the end of the second drop to 16th note triplets after each kick. Should give it the variety that'll lead nicely into the coming break / verse.
