You should be, the mode is kinda broken haha.

The shadows move faster than Octane (on average, juicy octane runs a touch faster, but shadows can catch him in the long run). Does 158 damage per hit, so if you don't have a blue or better shield, you're fucked. AND they make almost no noise. Quiet footsteps and no Zombie noises or anything.

I played two matches and it's a fun game idea (solos+infected), but frustrating to not hear footsteps until the shadow is right on top of you.

I'm enjoying the Shadowfall mode. Not sure I'll like it enough to get all the challenges completed, but whatever.

Disappointed that this time we can't even unlock any event packs through gameplay. That's pretty poor. Have to pay for everything and the skins are 50% more expensive than usual

First game I was too spooked to do much. Pretty much just hid and then cheesed it to the evac ship!

0 kills, 0 damage, sole survivor

I've only played 3 matches. Got top 10 in all of them, but ended up dying immediately to a shadow that makes no noise.

The third match I turned around and there were just three of them sprinting at me.

the shadows are bots or other players? Can they jump up buldings and how much damage do they take before dying.?

The shadows are players.

Everyone drops in as a legend, and it's basically solos. Except, when a legend dies, they respawn as a shadow. The shadows deal 158 damage per hit. Anything less than a blue shield, and it's a one hit kill. They move about as fast as Octane.

I think they only have 35 health, so they're pretty much one shot with a G7/Wingman and super easy to kill with any weapon really.

My issue is that they're so dumb fast, deal dumb damage, and make almost no noise. Even just fixing one of those things would make it more fun

how much does one fright pack cost in apex coins ?

700.

 

[BEER]

Also boys, now is the time!

I don't think it was intentional but you can get the 20 kill badge by killing 20 shadows!

 

[BEER]

What is the timer after the ship shows up?

Finally felt confident that I could win. Wingman/R99, didn't see a single enemy or Shadow and was 200 meters away when it landed.

But by the time I got there (with a well placed zipline), it just said "You Lost".

The ship should stay there and at least wait for all of the "survivors" to either make it to the ship or die. Wtf.

Edit: So not to spam with multi posts, it seems like they pushed a new patch and footsteps are louder now.

Except directly behind you. I was mowing down Shadows just fine and picking them up based on their footsteps but then one got me from behind, and once again, I heard NOTHING.

 

[BEER]

Okay so I'll spam anyway: Would it be impossible to implement anti-camping in a BR?

I mean, I know the object is surviving and being the last alive but if you're just holed up in the nook of a rock formation, are you REALLY playing the game?

I think it was COD BO2 that disabled Ghost if you stayed in a certain circumference for too long. It helped the spirit of the perk: If you're invisible to radar, you should be trying to flank and attack, not sit in a corner.

In an all-action, movement based BR like Apex, why not implement outward circles? Instead of getting caught outside of the circle, if a player spends too much time in one sector (not area, but a smaller sector within the area), have a circle expand that forces them out?

I guess that's sort of a pipe dream since legends based on camping have been introduced. Caustic, Crypto, and Wattson players would be furious.

But fuck camping. I was on the Reddit today and saw a video of a dude camping in pipes above a vault room. He waited for enemies to enter and then threw down Caustic traps and his ult into the room for a squad wipe.

Part of me was like "fuck that's good strategy" but the other part of me was like "how the fuck do you have fun playing that way????"

I probably have less than 10 kills between Caustic and Wattson, and I haven't played Crypto because I think it's fucking dumb to pick a legend that is forced to be stationary to use his abilities.

 

[Mohawk Mauler]

I mean yeah you keep saying this about Caustic but maybe its the way you choose to play with him?

Im hitting up every building every circle im pushing gun fights i am rushing to throw my alt at who ever i can but i make sure i am up in their grills.

@BEER



Im always the first man down but trust me the other squad are being gassed out and @Strychnine always shows up for a sherbros revive

You can play all three of those characters aggressively. I'm talking more about the mindset.

I'm not sure but I feel like it would have to run at least through Halloween.

At least this time, it's cheaper to buy every single piece. Will only cost you 160 bucks to buy everything and unlock the Lifeline heirloom.

Which I say with sarcasm, but you do you haha.

played a couple of gams today, got the havoc skin, won a match as the zombies and won another match as the legends, was running towards the ship saw a pathfinder gave him a couple of shots when he was about to die somebody else got killed since it was the final 10 we became allies, then everyone rushed to the ship it was in airbase so the pathfinders made ziplines to the top we waited for the ship land which was already surrounded by lots of zombies, I was Mirage and just did my ult , I dunno if was actually invisible but I made it to the ship unhindered hahaha only 4 made it out

Yeah, you turn completely invisible with Mirage's ult now. You can still see/hear his footsteps but I can't imagine you would hear shit if you were in a crowd of shadows all trying to get kills.

I was just thinking the shadows might still see you because when your a shadow the people become highlighted in a red glow.

That doesn't work for Mirages ult. He's completely invisible, even to threat scopes and Bloodhounds ult.

I didnt know that although I believe you can see the footprints or water splashes if he walks on water.
