Indeed. His movement is way too powerful, nobody should be able to bunny hop while using a Phoenix kit. They should also nerf his recoil control. The man can use basically any gun at range

No, Jitter aiming needs and nerf or better yet, erased from the game, it’s a far bigger problem than tap strafing for sure

[@shemka3942]

what i like about the gaming merchant is that he posts his full gameplay so we learn how to rotate by watching him

[@KnotKirk]

A good way to not make the loot pool saturated is by taking advantage of apex's maps. Dedicating weapons to each map whilst putting them on rotation can create a unique experience that only apex can give; an example would be snipers and ARs on worlds edge, or SMGs and Shotgun's on kings canyon etc. The rotation of the weapons would create a much higher skill gap for the game and also give the Dev's more creative freedom to add more variations of weapons to the weapon categories; like a 2 round burst rapid fire SMG or a semi auto crossbow for Stormfront.

[@twerkmaster-yn7yz]

Something that I think would be cool is, every week the weapon hop ups rotate, one week you can use full auto prowler or shoot lasers out of your havoc, another week you can obliterate peoples shields with disruptor rounds, and the next week you can use hammer point. Another thing I’d like to see is, being able to attach nades to the bow, this would make people want to use the bow wayyyy more, and this is how it works. If you attach a normal frag, you only do 40 hit damage (since it is a blunt tip instead of a sharp arrow tip) but does40-50 explosion damage on impact so you don’t need to be super accurate to benefit with the bow, and if you attach a thermite, it does the normal 60 dmg per hit, but gives a burn affect for 5 seconds. I don’t know what the grenade to arrow ratio should be but, it think 1 nade fueling 4-5 arrows would be good.

[@dynamicmechanix9397]

This is a great idea. An idea I had would be to remove gold bag, armor, and knock down. Add those passives to legend categories. Lifeline and loba would have gold knockdown shield perk. The gunners would have gold shield perk. And the defense would have goldbag perk. Tone them down for balancing. Extend timer for Gold shield. 35 shield/health for the armor passive. And shield or health only on the gold bags.

[@ZOK08]

Not sure if you know this but when you need ammo from replicator for just one of your weapons, Example: the Flatline, drop your secondary weapon/ the weapon you don’t need ammo for and use the replicator. You’ll get only the ammo you need AND it’ll be half the cost. As long as you have the weapon you require ammo for in your inventory and drop your secondary you’ll only get that specific ammo for that gun. Hope this helps!!

[@lucius394]

The flatline us a play on words, respawn knew what they where doing. Isn't the same in Titan fall 2?, only played two really, it was really dope.

[@Technicellie]

The Flatline is an interesting gun indeed. It has almost the same DPS vs. the R-301 (190 vs. 189) while having a bigger magazine and a higher damage per shot. It has a worse recoil though so it is harder to laser somebody. But the 3X at the flatline is just perfect because you can adjust pretty well to the recoil. I beam the players with this gun in arenas and onemaging is not really hard. I find it quite fitting to be in the purple spot in ramparts shop but it is a real killer. Same was for the EVA-8 before it got nerfed twice (it is still really strong at the shop). The scout was also a banger when it was a normal weapon in that shop. I wonder if they will update the shop so the C.A.R and the Triple-Take would find a place. (why is the RE-45 in purple in rampart's shop tho!?) The strongest weapon in my opinion in there is the golden lomgbow because of that 4-10x that it comes with.

[@Strongarm_11]

[@jonjonsson6323]

I have totally stopped using flatline since the rampage came. On distance it has a head multiplier, but it is on close combat it shines, 4-6 shots and anyone become a banner. Almost anyone would use it on semi distance due to the slow fire rate close up where many go for shotguns...dont..and try the rampage. I hated this gun initially as i thought hemlock was a better option on distance..but it is actually competing with weapons such as 99 and volt, and that you perhaps should carry a purple bolt moza to it. Any fight close quarter i have fought have been won with rampage hipfire, where flatline has had me killed. You dont even need to boost it, just land your few shots...it is better than havoc

Great content as always. I don't want to be that guy, but did something happen to the flatline recently for it to suddenly be in the spotlight? ShivFPS released a video saying it's underated and now this? I love the flatline and it has been my main for 2 seasons now, but past experiences have shown me the moment a gun/ability enters the spotlight everyone starts using it to the point that Respawn "looks" into it. The result is usually a Nerf. I say this because there was a time when itemps and jankz both released videos around the same time on lifeline's shield drone being too OP towards the end of the season, and then "surprise"! It got removed. Now I'm seeing both ShivFPS's video and this. The best kept secrets are the ones everyone knows. Let's not give Respawn any reason to "look" into this
