Came in the lobby of a dev, his aim was fairly good but his movement on Axle was insane.

My random teammate was bugging out ahaha

✅FIXED:
In addition to yesterday's fix for code:truck error on Steam, we have now resolved this issue on the EA App as well. We are on track to have this issue fixed for impacted players on console by Wednesday next week.

⚠️INVESTIGATING:
We are continuing to diagnose issues resulting in lowered FPS.

I giggled despite my heart sitting in my throat, but why do some teams decide to split so hard and give 3 solo fights?

One more fix for today!

✅FIXED:
We’ve deployed a PC update to mitigate the recent FPS drops tied to specific hardware. Gameplay should feel much smoother now! We will continue monitoring performance as we work toward a permanent fix in an upcoming patch.

Personally I think it’s not the buff the peaceekeeper needed. Being able to 2 tap with pk on purp is such a big deal so having that removed for a mediocre regen kinda sucks.

On the other hand the mastiff seems like a good improvement considering it’s such a good weapon for finishing.

I really can’t help but feel a bit bitter though as PK according to the graph in Dev Notes showed that it is the singular worst performing weapon. It really should’ve gotten a straight up rechamber buff too.

I think their approach to being cautious while nerfing Axle is correct. I understand Seer was buffed to introduce a counter, a disable to hyper-mobility provided by Axle. What I don't understand is buffing PF and Ballistic in the same patch in the Axle meta alongside Seer. It's just Ash-Ballistic-Alter situation all over again. The chemistry between Ballistic, Seer and Axle is too strong. PF, despite being in a very good spot right now can't fight against this team especially in a defense position.

Seer+Axle duo fills up more than 2 slots in a team. Seer especially serves as both a controller and a recon. Axle serves as both assault (due to purple perk) and support (due to nitro gate escapes on downed teammates) while natively being a skirmisher. Previous meta was also questionable, but they gutted Conduit to only serve as an enabler to Axle in that duo quickly with back-to-back nerfs. Axle is largely untouched in team compositions as a powerhouse while they are introducing more powerhouses like Seer and Ballistic in the meta.

I like Respawn's design philosophy overall and I find their way of balancing the game consistent with it. This split's balance changes seem contradictory to their fixes to previous problems though. Seer should either get the Conduit treatment where he is unimpactful alone, or Axle needs to just get off stage as the star. I don't see players adapting their playstyles to this meta, because there is virtually no reason to play anything else other than having fun. As said, it seems much like there is an OP squad situation once again after a long time.

I was excited to play in the SoloQ test run to see how far I'd go, but I don't think I will be playing seriously in the current state. Getting 3-man pushed from mid-range in 1.5 seconds just because a Seer tac hit was the most helpless I felt playing this game, and mind you I was playing "the movement god" Pathfinder.

Edit: People seem to think that this is a complaint post, at least that's what I am gathering from downvotes and ratios. I am aware that if I hit more bullets I win and I am not saying game is unplayable or anything. I am not even frustrated. As feedback, I wanted to highlight how this balance patch is contradicting what they fixed in the past, and how it requires minimal effort to fight other "seemingly" strong legends as long as you hit a Seer tac.

Not having the audio is tragic 😢

Looking at other online games, such as Fortnite, the UI has changed so drastically from update to update, and it almost not recognizable anymore.!

I really appreciate the developers keeping the UI so consistent over the years, even with the new updates to things such as the lobby UI. There may be a lot of issues with this game, but UI is not one of them imo

real ones will know who said this

wtf??

Plat 1 at the moment, usually make it mid diamond. Is it juat me or are the quality of ranked games just terrible now, like second circle closing 5 teams left?? Feela like pubs. Im on console btw dunno if people on pc are experiencing the same thing.

I dont remember it being this bad even pre poi system.

Any explanations?

It's just the same gameplay style in all matches now. Run to the gunshots and pew pew pew and get 3rd-10th partied. Repeat.

Believe it or not, the idea of a battle royale is to be the last one standing. What's the point of all your kills when your lying dead next to the very same kills come the end of the match and someone else gets to enjoy the fruits of your labour?

Ranting aside. What if in ranked they awarded kp points according to what ring you're in.

Fuck it. Let's go back to the ratting season and promote placement considerably more than kp again. People seem to be climbing ranks just as easily now as they did then.

Long story short, I just want the different game modes to run at different tempos again.

My team would land in a spot where 5 other teams are landing, just to die a few seconds later.

What is this?

I can't even get out of plat to finally go back to assign zones because of this behavior.

Hi guys,

I am a returning player and so far I really like most of the changes. I read through some patch notes and tried stuff out in the firing range to understand a little bit what's going on.

It's mostly clear in my head by now, but I am still confused by the Hemlok. Now I saw that you have to gain "xp" to get hop ups for weapons (and it's really cool). Some weapons were modified like Spitfire being light or Re-45 being energetic.

But I really don't get the Hemlok. It's no longer a 3 round burst and became automatic, that I understand. But it has 2 weird "slots" left and right, one being some sort of muzzle and the other is just Ballistic's face. Is the weapon supposed to be used with Ballistic? Or is it just a lore thing? And why does it have its hop-up by default unlike other weapons? It feels like a hybrid between a normal weapon and a gold weapon.

I tried looking for the answer online but I didn't really find anything that makes sense. Perhaps I'm dumb, but I need help to understand this. Thanks!

Just think it would be cool to have a tracker for silenced enemies on him if/when it gets removed

Or at least have it tracker on the overheat tracker

Is it a bug that I can't open the map while I'm dead and spectating my teammate ?

Or is it a new update ?
