I Mastered EVERY Shotgun In Apex Legends Arsenal

[@griefofkings9263]

I have to say it's really great to see how much Merchant has improved over the years playing this game, keep it up my guy

[@GLIZZYONA44]

I'm watching every single one of the weapon mastery journey

[@wsawbi6402]

Not sure if anyone will see this but the way shotguns work is that the game only counts the pellets required to knock someone. That means that if you hit every single pellet on the pk but the enemy only had 1 hp, then only one of the pellets will count for the down. That means you have to knock them down in the ideal damage range. Of course I could be wrong since I tested this on firing range and the challenge might calculate requirements differently but still its something to consider

[@billyshaw1996]

That makes it even worse 😂

[@fujicrew170]

I'm very much sure that this is true I've hit all the pelts on an enemy and only did nine damage because of already hitting him twice before. I didn't check for bullet holes around where I hit him which was in a building so I know one didn't just fly off into the distance and no impact creators all bullets landed but I didn't get an increase in my challenge.

[@dorualex3092]

wouldnt be easier if i use the choke ? i thought i need to use the choke to land all pallets, i think it would be easier

[@The8blackguys]

Hello Merchant, you might consider pathfinder for the PK challenge since you can grapple them and pull them in for a big PK shot

[@L4YTN]

thats a good idea actually but he showed himself completing the challenge in the video. will definetly use this tip if i ever get my pk to lvl 20 tho😅

[@wsawbi6402]

I think the main issue is that shotgun knock downs only count the number of pellets required for a down. From my observations playing the game, if an enemy is 1 health and you fire all pellets at their center mass, it only counts one of the pellets for the down.

[@rawrdino7046]

I was expecting challenges like, get 5 kills with it without getting knocked. Not these that requires luck

[@iLoveOrtzi]

Don't think it's luck. My first 3 from the PK trial took longer than the last 15.

[@akionlizard]

The spread on PK is random but it's within the square, have the dude in your square and you're gucci. Mastiff is literally a straight line horizontally. Another thing is that these are shotguns, but the ok is easier to land every pellet cuz if the choke

[@ll-lp6st]

​@@akionlizard the pk is not random its always the same star pattern. The eva 8 is an 8 pellet pattern but i don't remember what its shaped like. None of the shotguns are random

[@hightoracle4143]

​@@ll-lp6st it's spread pattern similar to the number 8. Called like that for a reason

[@akionlizard]

@@ll-lp6st it certainly acts random though XD

[@JKeltTV]

For those of you who don't know, you can complete weapon trials in mix tape. I am currently grinding P2020 and I grinded my first trial in Gun Run

[@shyneie]

Except for the car. You can’t do the first trial in mixtape

[@mestreatfield7842]

The Mastiff challenge seemed by far the easiest, you aim to do that anyway all the time, whereas the others can often be more circumstantial

[@jacobbarnett9956]

I am really convinced the Mozambique's challenge was a callback to when you only used it if it was the only gun you had available in a hot drop, when this shitty shotgun is still better than punching your way out.

[@dumbspams2236]

Hey gaming merchant, I k ow you probably know this and just choose not to, but you can complete these challenges in LTM and also normal like control and all of that, I’ve been getting my guns to 20, then going to control to do the challenges (R99 is kill 25 enemies while they’re airborne, so hell no I wasn’t gonna do that in normal BR, I went to control as horizon, launched enemy and killed them haha)

[@scrunch8245]

That's pretty smart, nice.

[@gagewarner6502]

The sensitivity range you can get on MnK is so wild to watch.

[@seanwilde716]

[@speeedwagonnn6959]

İt's crazy how good merchant is at the game. Like he is at the same level as all these tryhard popular KZbinrs but his gameplay doesn't get nearly as much views for some reason

Hi Merchant, do you know if I can complete the lvl 60 Nemesis trial in mixtape ? Apex is not clear about the trials... they say killing the enemy who down me, I hope I don't have to die then being revived because it will take A LOT of luck and time -_-

[@coolinboolin6934]

I have a question if a challenge says you have to knock down an enemy will Mickstape count?because in mixtape you don’t get knocked down you just straight up killed him

[@Mr_Tensai]

Yes bc there are missions to knock people with a certain weapon and u can do them in mixtape even tho they get insta elim and not knock

[@wsawbi6402]

It should as daily and weekly challenges will count those as knocks unless specified which mode it needs to be done in

[@miqueeli]

can you complete trials in TDM or Control? I’d assume that PK challenge would’ve been way easier :D

[@IIkaine]

Yes

[@konstasalminen1516]

What do you think if you could swap the Mastifs shot pattern into vertical like with the promethean shotgun in Halo infinite

[@ShinigamiSalami]

Charging up the shot will help to condense it to land more of the pellets

[@michellerahe4853]

Ye idk how you can play one game straight every day as long as you have. Especially this season.

[@CrustedPork]

What do you mean? This season is one of the best so far lol...The only thing that sucks about this season is ranked. If you don't play ranked then there is absolutely nothing wrong with the season at all. Map changes+New legend. That's about the MOST you'll ever get from a new season. So not sure what else you wanted. Oh, I guess occasionally we get a new weapon as well. But this season we got the new survival item, the balloons. So I mean...They've added more this season then most in between. So the only complaints REALLY come from ranked players. Because that new system is awful. But for casual players who just grind different stuff (like masteries) this is a fantastic season.

[@michellerahe4853]

@@CrustedPork I didn't say anything was wrong with this season. All I said was the fact idk how people can only play one game so much every single day when there's alot of games out there to experience

Day 5 of asking for an heirloom

[@CrustedPork]

Umm...Please go outside. You will die by the end of the year if you actually complete this challenge. I play about 5 hours EVERY day. And I'm no where near mastering a single weapon. Obviously I use a variety, but even COMBINED I'm only over 190 on total levels. (Well ranges from 3-5 hours) If you've already mastered shotguns then you've been LITERALLY pumping 15+ hour days minimum. AND, the exp system for them SUCKS. So either your just camping with the gun in hand (fastest way to level them up besides the trials) or pumping extremely unhealthy hours. Everyone can hit max level on these pretty easy. Just wait until they make all the challenges absurdly easy (which will happen sooner than later) and in order to get the EXP just play Loba. Throw down ult in corner of the map, loot the gun you wanna level, go afk and watch youtube/netflix or play a whole different game. That is LITERALLY the fastest way to do it. I got 8 kills the other day and only got like 200~something exp, whereas for just HOLDING the gun I got 1.1k exp. Literally 5x better than mowing down the lobby. (Obviously even better if you can live 15+ minutes AND also kill people but that's not consistent since you can die plenty and never got that much up time)
