See? I like Apex Legends and that won’t stop me roasting it over the spit at the prison barbecue, I yearn for true glitch equality! Heck, one time I accidentally tried to heal a bloke who wasn’t my teammate and if that isn’t proof there’s a little glitch in all of us, I don’t know what is!

Cargo Catastrophe! A bug was recently found featuring Pathfinder that allows players to ‘super launch’ themselves when grappling cargo bots. This unintentional mechanic was uncovered by one Redditor ‘‘Dirty_Skirty‘, finding out that while these launches generally end up being enough atomic force to yeet you too far from the inner circle, it can be creatively applied to if you’re precise enough.

“If you jump the second your grapple attaches, you’re guaranteed a perfectly vertical launch”.

And if you’ll entertain a little anecdote of mine, that time I tried healing an enemy player? My teammate was a Pathfinder! Chances are they realized I was a massive noob after that mishap cut their losses before I started shooting myself in the proverbial digital foot any harder.

Glitch Fixes? To my knowledge, none as far as Pathfinder goes, but the folks at Respawn did recently fix a glitch with Bloodhound (whomst we stan).

Glitch Tales… No, not that one: So sit down and strap on for three peculiar tales of glitchy-gaming goodness from your’s truly! And lucky for me, all these issues were neatly fixed with a tap of the retry button.

First up is on one of my Grounded replays of The Last of Us some nebulous time in pre-demic era! There was a section with some bad guys out in the snow that I decided for a specific way to eliminate: Run out back, punch one down, use it as a distraction, run back, stealth two other blokes and unload my clips into the last few guys hunting me like the randy cinephile I am! As I kept dying near that last end of my strategy, needless to say, I was repeating stuff more than Bo Burnham’s song of the same name, so on one particularly attempt, I ran up to a bloke, clotheslined his ass, and immediately shot RIGHT DOWN THE GROUND like:

Next on the chopping block is Sifu: One time while fighting Kuroki and FINALLY getting past her first phase after hours of retries and fiddling with the photo mode, I punched her so hard that when she backflipped away from me, she clean disappeared from the arena on me! Like,it’s bad enough she looks like a literal ghost half the time, but getting left on read by a boss? You think you know a girl. Ain’t that right Sensei Lawrence?

Wattson is finally receiving a much-needed buff.

Respawn has released the full patch notes for their Apex Legends Season 11 update. There is cause for celebration for Wattson mains; with the new season comes significant buffs to the Legend’s tactical and ultimate abilities. It seems Wattson will really flourish in the next upcoming season of the hectic battle royale.

“Move aside, Ash, this is Wattson’s season,” Respawn writes in the Apex Legends Season 11 patch notes. “Her win rate and encounter win rate have always been above average. This could be for a multitude of reasons; her defensive playstyle correlates to higher average placements, Wattson mains are diehard loyalists, and her hitbox has been the smallest in the game ever since Lifeline’s adjustment.

Regardless, much of the high-level data that we’ve shared doesn’t match perception. Play a few games as Wattson, and you’ll often find yourself wanting more out of her kit. The goal of these changes is to redistribute her invisible power into the parts of her kit that shape the battlefield in a unique way. We wanted to see what changes could spark more consistency and efficacy in her kit, and ideally ground some of the difficulties surrounding the way her abilities work.”

Wattson’s Perimeter Defense has been buffed so she can erect her fences faster and with more damage. Her ultimate ability also receives a buff. It now more regularly intercepts incoming ordinance and recharges body shields at a faster rate. So now, when Wattson bunkers in, she can more easily protect her squad, encouraging enemies to think twice before aggressively pushing.

For the complete list of changes coming to Apex Legends in Season 11, check out the patch notes detailed below.

Apex Legends Escape Patch Notes

Balance Changes – Legends:

Wattson

• General
  • Improved the reliability and responsiveness of placing Wattson’s Tactical and Ultimate in-world objects.
  • Wattson can place her Tactical and Ultimate objects on valid surfaces above Wattson’s eye level (to a reasonable extent).
  • General hitbox size increase to compensate for the removal of low profile in the Legacy update.
• Tactical – Perimeter Defense
  • Increased damage on crossing a Fence by 33%. (15 to 20)
  • Increased debuff duration on crossing a Fence by 100%. (1.5 to 3 seconds)

  • Decreased recharge time by 50% (30 to 15 seconds).
  • Increased placement range by 50%.
  • Decreased the delay between Fences shutting off and reactivating after an ally passes through them by 60%. (1.0 -> 0.4 seconds)
  • Wattson now moves at Unarmed-speed while readying/placing Fence nodes.
  • Fence nodes can now be placed as soon as the weapon is readied instead of waiting for the animation to finish.

    • The Pylon now lasts forever (instead of timing out after 90 seconds).

    • Increased the Pylon shield recharge rate by 150%, and smoothed regen rate. (2/second -> 5/second, or more accurately: 1/0.5 seconds -> 1/0.2 seconds)
    • When a Pylon is out of Shields, it no longer recharges players’ Shields but can still zap incoming ordnance.
    • Taking damage while regenerating Shields via the Pylon delays continued regeneration by 1 second.
  • The UI on the ground and HUD elements now display the Shields that remain in the Pylon.
  • Pinging a friendly Pylon will now display the percentage of Shields remaining in the Pylon.
  • Pylon ordnance-zapping has been moderately reworked.
    • Ordnance is now zapped when the Pylon detects that it would hit any surface within range and line of sight of the Pylon, instead of being zapped as soon as it comes within range.
    • As a part of the changes, current issues where the Pylon doesn’t reliably zap ordnance (particularly concerning airstrike abilities and ordnance that bounced off surfaces near the Pylon) should now be addressed.

The post Apex Legends Season 11 Patch Notes first appeared on Get2Gaming.

“Daamn Respawn, back at it again with the semi-prehistoric semi-techy sci-fi tropical aesthetic? Lemme get some siiiip!“

Apex Legends Season 11 will see players fight on its fourth and largest map on November 2nd. Publishing company EA have stated that the Storm Point location will be the “eye in the hurricane” to the rest of the map’s pretty beaches and crystal waters… And I really do mean CRYSTAL clear folks! The day I first saw clear water at a beach IRL blew my f****ing mind out my ear holes so hard that I still have trouble making out music lyrics first-listen to this day… Also, it has been confirmed that the game will also see players fighting off SPIIIDERRS. This alongside the nature of the new Gaea map and said SPIIIDERRS was previously covered in our reports on Apex Legends dataminers here. For the Apex Legends Season 11 gameplay trailer itself, click here… Also, old news, but Apex removed tap-strafing!? I’m sure if I knew what that was beforehand I’d be reeally mad.

In addition to the map being the biggest, we’ll also see “a base embedded within a giant mountain marking the highest location in any Apex Legends map to date”. Not alot of people know this about me, but heights are my fetish (I’m exaggerating, but not by much), so that combined with the fact that you can’t take fall damage in-game means I know what I’ll be doing November 2nd.

We’ll also be seeing the inclusion of Ash, the antagonist from Titanfall 2 and narrating overseer of Apex Legends Battle Arena mode. That and Titanfall’s C.A.R Sub Machine Gun. For a deep dive on that, have a butcher’s here.

With Ash wielding her sci-fi super slicey dicey, fingers crossed this means Apex will be seeing the option for swordplay combat, that would be awesome. Worked out pretty well when Fortnite allowed you to swing around lightsabers, so fingers crossed we get similar mechanics here. By the looks of it, seems more likely that the sword is just an Ash-only move that lets her do Wraith-like teleportations, but hey, a guy can dream.

Furthermore, the picture below seems to be implying there will be some swimming involved, which ties into another EA statement regarding the Apex map’s inclusion of “island clusters”, so I’m down for that. On a similar note, I find water levels in gaming to be basically like Fugu sashimi: Easy to get wrong, but boy golly gosh gee wilikers is it great when it goes right… Also, shoutout to autocorrect for initially putting down sashimi as “mishmash”.

The Daily Shill + A Cheeky Teaser

If you’re looking for more first-person shooty bang-bang funtimes, we have good prices on stuff. Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing New Horizon, which are basically the same game, trust me. Void Bastards if you ever wanted to try “what if roguelike but shooty-bang-bangs”. And, in accordance with the age old tradition of cheeky foreshadowing for future events, also recommend checking our Rainbow Six Siege merch and games, because we cannot rest in the battle for true equality until we have 👏MORE 👏 GAY👏 SOLDIER BOIS👏… Not quite as nuanced as the actual project I’m doing, but that hint will have to suffice for now folks.
