11:19 Ah yes I love taking seer out of his drone

[@kbgh4]

If ammo type doesn't effect slow damage, then I'm even more confused on why the spitfire is light ammo now

[@CuBeKiDxD]

It was to even the amo lootpool. Before there was a crazy percent of heavy amo

[@scoppy3167]

@@CuBeKiDxD ye but it seems like now there is to much light because of the g7 and spitfire

[@tsyew3446]

because there wasnt any light machine gun that use light ammo before

[@tphil5901]

Flatline - CAR smg - Hemlock - Prowler - 3030repeater .... (Rampage) R99 - Alternator - R301 - G7 scout - Spitfire - P2020.... (RE-45) So it's definitely more even now. If the wingman was still a heavy pistol it would be straight even 5 to 6 as far as ground loot guns go. With one each either in the carepackage or crafter. It was done to even out the loot. And also because the Light ammo weapons didn't have an LMG. Now there's one LMG per ammo type. (Obviously excluding sniper or shotgun types) Nothing about the spitfire is different except the fact it uses a different color ammo box

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

@@tphil5901 In terms of guns per ammo type it might be even, but looking at the guns with each type it is obvious that light ammo is used more often. R301 is still an absolute beast, same for the scout, CAR can use both (so no need to run heavy with it), Hemlok and Prowler are burst fire, so more of a niche choice, Repeater and Flatline are fine, but why use them when R301 and Scout are available. R99 has dropped of in this sniper meta and Alternater is still more of an early game pick until you get something better. But hey, I'm just happy that the Volt is on the ground and Havok is still shredding.

[@mikecooke231]

12:19 Correction: ALL shotguns have a tighter spread when you ads EXCEPT the Eva 8. Before the choke was integrated into the Peacekeeper, adsing would tighten the spread, but now that it’s integrated into the weapon, the only time the PK spread won’t tighten when you ads, is if you have the choke disabled. The Mozam and more importantly the Mastiff BOTH have a tighter spread when you ads.

[@Mortario]

drives me crazy when people hipfire with the mastiffy

[@kamui7789]

@@Mortario Well when you can hit the shot you're going to want to get all that spread in a single hit, don't really think there's anyone trying to risk having to double-tap really. And it doesn't take regular ammo so you cant just waste it either.

I just about to comment this 😶💯🔥

[@joshuajackson6023]

11:00 in season 1 and 2, Heavy Ammo Types Slowed More than Light, Energy didn't slow at all and had faster Bullet Velocity. This was to make the guns more different in their respective categories, but when they did the re-work of just about everything in season 3, it changed.

[@PicklePantss]

For the legend speed thing, I've heard this one thing that said, "Wraith is like a 30mph go cart while gibby is like a 30mph 18 wheeler"

[@johnnyhonda5889]

I think what you mean is they have different acceleration. So it takes Gibby longer to get to top speed versus Wraith or Octane. That why Wraith is shiftier that's my theory. It would be cool to test it.

[@notepicgamer4996]

Reverent can't walljump im a rev main ik this

[@billyjoelbeans]

@@johnnyhonda5889 Its not true, its all perceptual. The movement mechanics are identical. I still completely outpace teammates while I play gibby(bc my movement is better, not bc he's faster ofc)

[@donttalkjustplay4274]

@@johnnyhonda5889 I think what he means is going 30 on a Go Kart feels way faster than going 30 in an 18 wheeler. It’s the same speed, just feels different.

Wraith can climb higher while in phase and octane can while stimming

[@Doggoe12]

What i learned: Gibby is even more OP than i thought Fortified is even more OP than i thought (on average, using no abilities, considering all gameplay, fortified legends are faster than all other legends, due to their lack of bullet slow)

[@smoknbobmarle3169]

bullets still slow him idgaf what the game says when youre sniped and get cracked or shotgunned mozanbique it staggers you so they ninja nerfed it and apex can fuck off and go to hell for it

[@snatchadams69]

But have much larger hit boxes

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

They should totally make it that Ash's arc snare can be charged. Making it fly faster would come at a cost. In that case you need to keep the button pressed, with means more things to keep in mind and it would mean you have to wait longer before you can throw it. Sounds fair to me.

[@Renzii]

As a ash main i agree

[@onikrux]

i wonder if maybe they didnt wanna buff or nerf her, but wanted to offer more variation in the use of it- they could make it fly slower but hit harder when charged, or maybe even snare for slightly longer- but when u throw it without a charge it would go slightly faster and behave normally on snare. This way you wouldnt ALWAYS want it charged- sometimes youd rather it be a bit faster, and sometimes u really would value locking them in place for a second longer or doing a little more damage.

[@semihtheclique5409]

@@onikrux that would be a great change actually

[@davidjamesqc]

Ottr you are an interesting fellow

[@chanceglacieus6368]

The longer you hold it before throwing the faster it will travel. Would be nice

[@109_hassy]

5:07 I just realised the things in the bottom left and right show the shield recharging

[@peres9559]

So Mad Maggie ult is deflected by his shield, but dome is destroyed xD

[@jos7496]

Bunnyhop healing is still technically possible btw, just severely nerfed from it's previous power. You have to actually air strafe between jumps to make it work, and you do not go AS fast as normally slide bunny hopping, but both bunny hopping (standing up) and slide hopping while popping a heal does in fact work, and is actually faster than just walking while healing, though it does take quite a lot of practice and precision to implement effectively.

[@missingsemi]

5:17 back when octane double jump was new, any abilities thrown onto the pad would actually bounce an extra three or four times in the air. This has been patched for a while now, but it was pretty funny while it lasted.

[@coleeverage3243]

Correction to the 2nd one at 0:45, you can still cancel falling velocity by punching a wall or something of similar geometry, as punch boosting was only removed for things below you (I don't know how it was removed but IK it still works for things like walls and a decent handful of other map geometry) and hence you still gain momentum from punching walls...

[@Cohandley1]

Try crouching before you punch and you still get a small boost (not as strong as it was) off of most inclines as well similarly to how it was done before, water no longer has collision though so it no longer works there

[@whizkoochristian5580]

@@Cohandley1 deff true, tried it today/

[@ladislavbitala1928]

6:01 I'm pretty sure the reason that the Bocek gives you a higher velocity is that it's definetly not as heavy as other marksman rifles.

[@DallonJ]

And its a shotgun

[@Oceb]

@@DallonJ That's if you're not aiming down sights though

[@snifflysara3065]

I remember being told (at the beginning of the game at least) when tracking footsteps as Bloodhound, the ravens would show up at about the end of the trail. So they were referred to as an "omen" of sorts, that enemies could be nearby.

[@funfactt5k]

I heard that Ravens only appear when the whole squad passed the same way, and just tracks mean they are alone

[@SWISS-1337]

Wait... You holster wraiths face? Also the packages coming into the PS5 building, you can also use Valkyries alt, or could before season 14, obviously not sure if the nerf will prevent her clearing the top now.

[@overdoseentertainment7862]

I've noticed the ravens are to signal a squad out side the passives 80 second range by around 10-15 seconds. Just my own personal observation on that

[@MrTr3sL3wis]

Thanks man, enjoy the long, yet informative play. Other content creators want 20, almost 30 min vids but you hit the sweet spot while making every second worth it! Once more thank you from the states

[@loersn]

13:16 gibbys armshield actually stronger than his bubble now LUL

[@AkaneAkashiya]

The snare animation does matter. The longer you hold it until it turns blue then it activates instantly if not it takes some time

[@Powered1Buttercup]

I remember that Horizon’s default finisher was the fastest finisher in the whole game, they had to make it slightly longer by extending it.

[@dakotafrazier2985]

If you're in phase you can see any enemies around you that aren't in phase. It's how I know whether or not they see where I'm running, if there's another team, if it's my team running past me, etc.

[@kyeronzio7574]

The fall from a Hight can be cancelled by using a caustic canister before you land. You slide off them instead of doing the land animation

[@Toma-621]

The second one where you kick the ground to keep momentum: I believe now you have to kick the side of something else to keep momentum rather than the ground itself. This could be anything from a ledge to a vehicle to a building, anything with a side really

[@mikaslashCOD]

As a NewCastle can you force a downed teammate into a wraith/Ash portal while reviving them ? Would it teleport only you, the downed team mate, or the both of you at the same time ? Very informative video, i was believing some old myths that i now understand are false.

[@funfactt5k]

I would make a educated guess, and say both, but cancel the rez

[@THELION177]

revenant i believe is the only legend that has a further climbing range then any other legend

i discovered that blowing open explosive holds doesn't do damage a long time ago, but idk i still kinda like backing away, makes me feel like i'm in a heist movie.

[@datguy5038]

wtf the finishers have different times no way that’s just feels unbalanced even if it is only seconds different. I had no idea. I mean I had a feeling but thought it was like the speed of characters just felt like that but no. great video man entertaining and learnt something new

[@errolglenn4548]

Your hitbox is also on your legend when you're doing finishers too. So some vanilla finishers are actually better than epic ones, for example loba. Basically if you move a lot during your finishers, it's more difficult to get hit and get cancelled

[@astraha.]

"even if it is only second different" No dude. Every second in a finisher will matter alot. Especially in heat situations.

For the ground punching to stop fall impact this used to work but it still works on walls (if you punch a wall before you land)

[@joomy3350]

11:20 I'M SORRY SEER HAS A DRONE???

[@Secret0zv]

After you couldn't kick the ground, I discovered a little exploit where you can kick the side of a building to negate the stun entirely, I never saw this mentioned anywhere, but either way, it was eventually patched.

[@organsnatcher8395]

I swear ash's tactical used to be faster Also wraith phase climbs higher just like how it makes superglides further

If you do another one of these, im the only person who knows of this rn but, lifelines doc drone is invincible and can literally be used as a tiny bit of cover.I have been utilizing this mechanic successfully in many gunfights.I knocked a player behind a rock mound and life was one shot so i went above them, she deployed doc to heal herself and was crouched beneath it, i tried to laser her and doc took my whole 301 clip with no dmg displayed, so i realized it could be used as cover.Like this if you read it ottr.Lifeline doesnt need a buff, players skills need to be buffed.

The slowing effect when you're getting shot is called stopping power btw,

[@vixalotl5617]

12:35 I'm not gonna say I'm 100% on this one, but pretty sure if you're b-hopping and throwing in strafes, you can keep healing and keep the b-hop going (I'm still trying to learn the movement and this is what I've noticed when panic-heal-b-hopping)

[@IfUanswerMeUareGae]

bloodhounds ravens mean that the team you are following are either split up or dead and its just a solo on their own but if there aren't any ravens then they are together. kind of niche but good info to have in some situations. this is also every 7-10 movement points seen on the ground from a singled player.

[@deadstep99]

Another myth is that heirloom augment the velocity when running

[@LoneWolf-cl7mg]

I thought that the crows represent dead tracks that bloodhound can't see after the 1 minute length the tracks last and you can only see dead tracks when you activate your ultimate

[@cameronnaidoo8564]

The Mastiff also has tighter spread when you ADS

[@demonxzx3055]

Id like to mention that B Hop healing is still possible, where you can keep moving slightly faster than a normal crouching walk with a heal- but you need to perfectly air strafe each b hop to not lose the speed- you also can't gain speed easily, you would need more air time to strafe, and it also is NO WHERE NEAR as fast as it used to be in Season 0-1

[@IhaveaDoghouse]

I don’t think it’s considered the same thing. So much slower that you can’t even call it b hop healing anymore.
