BALLISTIC ... For Noobs

Ballistic is the 24th legend in Apex, and he is essentially the John Wick of this game. He came out of retirement to take names, and he looks good doing it, so let's learn how to play him in this episode of "For Noobs!"

absolutely unreal how macro's probably going to end up looking like ballistic in a few decades

I still call Caustic fartist just because of him and he probably why i main Caustic too. buff caustic plz.

[@NotHovin]

Fun fact: ballistic's ult and Maggie's passive stacks and if you use Maggie's ult as well you move faster than a octane stim

I love how your dad was totally chill with being in this, what a cool dad

[@onepiecer8622]

Ballistic is a legend who very heavily relies on your gunplay. You basically have nothing else, to leave a fight, or any utility. He seems like a legend, who enhances the skills of pros, rather that help the noobs. He only really shines in an offensive playstyle, but i guess that one's the most fun anyways

[@owen.hates.school]

he's gonna be another pubs menace like octane, i love it

[@robonator2945]

I have to disagree, ballistic thrives with team play. Yes, you can shred someone before they even have a chance to react with a tempest and a REEEEEEE-45, but it's often a better idea to let your other teammates be more aggressive with it while you stay a bit further back, since he doesnt have many in-combat utiltiies. His main advantage probably does lie in his ultimate though, since it can all but completely negate his team's reliance on ammo, saving valuable inventory space for grenades, ult chargers, heals, etc. If your ballistic goes down though, you've left in 'Nam without any ammo supply.

[@agungmarpaung6366]

does ballistic speaks bottle of water?

[@liamsmerlnop7348]

Macro's dad freaking killed it

[@trashpc-aya9776]

Sooo much respect to macro's dad🤣

[@oxycomic71]

As a revenant main, I think ballistic is amazing to play. His whistler ability is a lot like revenants silence which made him easy for me to learn.

[@boybeasty7569]

Been bingeing Macro videos all day and he just so happens to post what a W

[@thatguyukno2185]

The idea you threw in at the end works very well for Ballistic because you're getting old versions of the guns.

[@patrik6636]

Little correction, overheat does NOT deal 30 dmg as base (as of now) . It deals dmg based on your enemies HP. So if your enemy has 1 hp, whistler will do 0 DMG to Armour. If your enemy also has more than 1 hp but still low, whistler can do low dmg. How ever the impact damage is always the same. So do not be surprised that overheat did little damage on low hp opponent.

[@ThebroVendixon]

The firing range also has the false walls from titan fall 2’s level where you fight ash

[@PillowVibesXF]

YOUR DAD SLAYED THAT BALLISTIC ROLE HAHA LOVE IT

[@juwelplaykid1042]

Daaamn, your dad looking good with the Ballistic drip!

[@nabroosi]

He’s really fun to use, but I believe his tactical is a little overpowered. Much love!

[@FilbertFerdinand]

couldve been something like an lstar overheat and not like you can only fire a few rounds

[@patrik6636]

How is his tac overpowered ? From my playing his ability is far from OP, it warns the enemy they are tracked , if you are behind cover you can make the whistler miss and if you do overheat you are not forced to switch weapons or are debuffed in any way , and if you are low HP it cant even kill or damage armour in any meaningfull way. If anything I think its underpowered.

[@Nickjiko]

It’s no where near op what are you on about it’s perfectly balanced

[@SaucyPrime]

i swear y'all whining over everything cos you simply cant deal with it , are the reason why some legends gets nerfed to death , sort out your skills mate u clearly have skill issue

[@Ccubed92]

Yal noobs call anything op

[@Bumblingbunnyboi]

We can always count on macro for some quality content. Absolutely the GOAT

[@rawrdino7046]

Fun fact, after getting the buff from his ult, you dont have to be close to him to him to keep it, its until the timer goes out, so you can go as far as you want

[@diobrando6737]

Fun Fact: In the new battle pass, there is a background card for Seer which showcases a brand new Titan mech behind him. Paired with the subtle Titanfall esque changes, i'd say there is hope on the horizon for TF3(mega copium)

[@MREAGLE-6666]

Ever since you told that on the stream I've been waiting to see macro's dad go ballistic and damn he got that drip!

[@SneakyPanda7-]

This intro skit is so good and creative, well done Macro.

[@dylansansom3755]

Fun fact: Ballistic is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes, the same voce actor for the Medic in tf2.

[@JSz-dp8bu]

He is moderately difficult, while the skills are easy to catch, his kit is still based on weapons. If you can't hit, 2 skills become weak.

[@jonathanaylesworth3785]

Im so glad you keep making these videos man, keep up the good work ❤

[@joshmclovin]

Bruh, this is the best skit yet. I love the fact your dad got involved, also it's a trip that he looks like an older you in that photo.

[@bst2492]

I personally think that he needs a boost in the whistler because the zone that it forms when you shoot it to a surface doesn't lasts a lot

[@MrAgentTurner]

Have you seen Revs tactical?? It's much much harder to land and smaller AOE

[@bst2492]

@@MrAgentTurner but at least it lasts more time than ballistic's and also he can throw more than one

[@Josukegaming]

Dude holy SHIT your dad did an incredible job acting that intro scene out, he looks like an absolute BADASS

[@husnainnaeem553]

Thanks for the very huge update 🤟🤟🏿🤟🏻 and also tips & tricks as well 👍👍🏻👍🏿

[@AtZeroDansGames]

Dude, your dad is the best. I can't believe how well this bit is. Wow, amazing work

[@fearlessayo]

Macro needs to make a tierlist of all his intro skits

[@NobleVoid-]

11:06 I agree that it would be interesting but if they were to ever implement it, it would have to be either a separate game mode like gun run or a firing range exclusive

[@twinkie9706]

Really love the forge merch next to the Revenant cardboard cut out

[@artinsaphire3081]

love the zero the hero reference!

[@waq3362]

Even with the evac tower ,I feel like valk will still see a lot of play. Since in competive all the teams will immediately shoot at the evac tower destryoying it. However valk's ultimate can be used safely

[@archived9291]

I think she goes more higher in the air than the evac tower

[@brimp4989]

Well kind of safely. Harder to shoot out a valk ult than a giant balloon.

[@blankets5782]

macro getting his dad involved in the intro skit is such a w. ✌️😌

[@joeasling3634]

YES THANK YOUfor making my sunday better

[@kyuz0ne]

I really like the Buff idea you mentioned ;)

Why his dad got the fit tho

[@perseverance7259]

recently stared playing apex and he became one of my fav love the idea of just push the other teams into a corner i learned when playing apex its best to go with your gut

[@Jtsigma420]

Always love your skits

[@bsdSmokey]

10/10 games, and there is even more content after you promote, such as overclocks and Deep Dives

[@nessie816]

Ballistic's backstory basically sums up that his son is joining next season

[@mrdeadmonsters]

I think that a cool character passive would be a character that could pick up and move deathboxes, meaning they have to carry it in there hands because it’s to big to fit in their bag, they could pick it up and put it in front of doors, but you wouldn’t be able to stack the boxes while being inside a building so that it’s not possible to completely seal a door. Out doors you would be able to stack deathboxes 2 high so you can use them as a cover you have to crouch behind.

[@CourtneySturkey]

Intro was dope af lol

[@nosduhdubs3896]

Honestly my favourite intro skit in a really long time

[@Epicstuff69]

0:16 the power puff girls made me smile showing the fact macro is the best KZbinr

[@crumplychunk2587]

Ballistic braught me back to apex and i love it

[@YourBoiDumi]

I love Macro's skits mannnnn

[@ToolboxMotley]

I've been using him lately as a knowledgeable-but-mechanically-inept player, as having that overheat to force passivity in enemies is an excellent way to give myself some breathing room where I would otherwise be panicking trying to get them down before they laser me. I would say he's decently newbie-friendly, thanks to that, and a good way to get some actual practice in with the mechanical side of things since you're not being sent back to the menu as soon as you see another player.

[@weenmachine279]

Macros dad stole the show, bravo👏👏👏👏

[@baiosuta8162]

I've been enjoying the re45 golden and the wingman as it's a good high dmg gun to use as a second or primary.

[@itzoptimal9726]

Really brings you back

[@7sson-hasson-310]

haven't seen for noobs for a whole season welcome back bro

[@syedmohammadwasi1013]

The R-301 is my favorite gun in the sling for his ult. If I find it, that's always what's going on there. The Rampage is fun, too. But R-301 is awesome for mid-range combat.

[@gabrielmitchell9562]

[@wipboy148]

Kraber as second weapon and an smg in the sling for close fights is stupid OP

[@francisbond5605]

I love how they got a genuine old person and macro's dad for the intro

[@f.b.iagent3971]

With all of the ways to get weapons with preattached optics it’d be nice if you can choose what optic is auto equipped when available in the weapon’s tab on the loadout screen, that way I don’t have to worry about changing it during TDM or Control games

[@marcosmg1473]

The ultimate collab we didn't expect

[@IdeationsPakistan]

Best video about ballistic i've seen yet

[@spinneryourdinner]

Haven’t had the Rampage as a sling weapon for it’s ultimate weapon, but I could say that the Mastiff so far is the best. As it’s normal non-attachment-equipped version is alright as a last source dmg output and the golden version shoots extremely fast and auto reloads all the time, and even manually reloads extremely quickly

[@YonkoJ]

Macro Dad as Ballistic is absolutely perfect

[@TheMuffinGames12]

Thanks for being amazing Macro!
