I FORGOT THE VOLT OMFG. I'll create a separate unlisted video for the volt, my bad guys! Quick Update on the Peacekeeper skin: So IDK if they patched this recently or what, but I just realized today (after editing this) that the crystals on the gun GLOW when you're aiming down sights. Really really cool effect that is quite unique to the PK's choke mechanic. I also noticed that the crystal grow for each evolution, which is pretty cool, but a detail I completely missed during the original recording. Either way, with these two factors in mind, I'd bump the skin up to a High B or Low A tier :)

the volts one of my fav ones that i have 🔥

It was criminal of Kandy to put the C.A.R reactive skin in D tier. Your sins will not be forgotten!

[@ThjyuGaming]

I didn't really like them but some of the other ones he put above it is the sin..

[@Shakura8]

I also think it’s D . Not so pretty, lousy effects…

Yeah right? It’s so freaking clean I love the car reactive skin

Definitely and also putting charge rifle in c instead of F is crazy

YOU FORGOT THE VOLT SKIIIIN!! One of the COOLEST reactive skins 😭

[@xTheAquaBlue]

I appreciate you for all the time/effort it took to make this video, Kandy! Keep up the amazing content 🔥

[@doctyro]

Actually the PK skin doesn't glow but gives you a slight cold air around the ice, I think the other variant gives you a slight hot air as well.

[@traeellis2566]

The ice crystals on the PK skin actually grow outward the more kills you get that's the effect it has

[@buzzrdfuzzy]

The pk reacts when you charge it up

[@Koloradical]

the amount of money I would pay for the r99 and flatline skin would be be criminal lmao

[@Aaronxxi]

Idk if u know this yet but the flatline got a free recolour for season 20, u have to complete challenges to get it tho. The r99 will also be getting a recolour for season 21

I don't know what you're talking about the PK skin is S tier the design is just to good and I like how it glows when you ADS.

[@chasingquestsyt]

As a person who loves to play both valorant and apex I loved all the valorant references that you put in congrats on the new video.

[@NowakP]

Did they tone down the reactive FX or is it Kandy's level of detail? I remember these being way more over the top. I also remember there not being a cap at one point, because there definitely was a glitch where if you sat with the Flatline in the range for too long, you'd start losing all your frames due to the fire FX :D

[@arcadegame1554]

Bro you found loba door kick animation it was rare

I got so god damn confused, I heard the Valorant kill and ace sounds, while playing Valorant, YOU ARE PLAYING APEX, NOT VALORANT!

[@justiceokams]

The Car skin in D tier? Seriously man that's disrespectful that skin clean asf especially the red variant.

[@ftwstriker]

No volt skin?, r9 and flatlines skin es are just goated

[@pixelschubser2556]

Please never use background music like the one for the charge rifle part again. That hurts my ears and this part of the video really difficult to watch. For every hater that wants to comment on my comment: Its just critique. Calm down, go out and touch some grass.

[@raymondmagat4025]

Totally agree. The R30 Juan needs to be replaced. That rhino skin is dogturd! It's worse than the default skin.

[@yudhistiraart1291]

Babeee, wake up. Kandy uploaded a new video

[@yudhistiraart1291]

And also this video called me poor in 18 different ways

[@Cold84]

I agree and disagree with many of these, I feel like they began to intentionally make the reactive skins not as cool, if you watch streamers and such they will use the early reactive skins the most, I feel this is probably standard for everyone, making people buy less newer ones, so they made the newer reactives mid with the added bonus of reactive so you still want it, but will still buy really cool ones if they come up. I just feel like the early ones were far better than what they have put out recently. It definitely seemed like they went above to make it look beyond just a legendary skin, to some looking like an entirely different weapon, to then not even a particularly cool legendary skin that also glows like the charge rifle and car are the worst, I don't really like the triple take much, as well with the new rampage, all newer seasons. However, the mastiff and eva look sick so maybe they realized doing this made less people buy the battle pass and changed it lol.

[@skyloren2187]

Charge rifle really is the worst of all. Most legendaries are better and the FX are just lights. Just my opinion but I just prefere the others especially the Triple Take

[@C.u.d.s]

Apex needs a fun lobby (Trident races, hide and seek, death run). Stuff noobies and try hards can enjoy.

[@DreadCore_]

>Effects are most visible in hipfire >Starts the video with the one gun that gets no benefit to ADSing >ADSs with it ???

[@christinadaniel9706]

The pk skin also glows if u charge it up

[@prototype2963]

Call me a baby or complainer but i wish there was a way to go to old battle passes and u can finish them off bc i still hate myself for not going for the flatline skin i was at tier 88 and i couldnt finish the last couple tiers bc of school and just general stuff

[@noctstrife-uz4jt]

Lol kandy worry about not showing the prowler when even if he doesnt die he doesnt even show some of the guns anyways 😅

[@iiTzSxsumi]

Kandy what’s your pc specs?

[@bogdweller27]

Imagine if apex was good and actually got substantial updates instead of skins, skins, and more skins. You ain't miss out on nothing cause this game fell tf off and it's boring ash now. It's just the same thing over and over. No quality of life improvements, no addressing the matchmaking, strike packs are rampant and EA doesn't care. This game genuinely isn't worth supporting because you know it'll go absolutely nowhere. This game never evolves, it just stagnates.

[@bogdweller27]

PUBG, the most boring battle royale ever created currently has more players on steam. If that doesn't say something about the state of apex I don't know what does.

[@yoyo-bh3cy]

Tbh the devotion skins remind of Evangelion and gundum for some reason

R301 and one other one definitely felt like I missed out

yeah UGH totally forgot about it somehow. I swear i thought i recorded for the volt but I think it just slipped through when editing. I'll have to find the footage (or re-record) I can put the Volt up as an unlisted video later on when i complete it. Apologies!

Hey kandy I just started playing this game because I really enjoy watching you play it and am about a level away from being able to unlock my first character but I have no idea who i should get. Who do you think would be a good character? I’m thinking about seer but I’m also thinking maybe blisk or vantage. I can’t make a decision so who do you think I should get? I currently main wraith if that helps you know my play type

Couldn’t you just do this in shooting range and shoot bots? Either way it’s more entertaining to watch gameplay for each gun.
