Heirloom weapons are getting weaker… (Apex Legends)

►The general trend with care package weapons in Apex is that they’re getting worse, and I think it’s on purpose. Long gone are the days of the super busted Mastiff and Kraber in the package, nowadays it’s usually just strong versions of meta guns from a previous season. The last remaining “strong” care package weapon is the Kraber. I think Respawn is probably trying to lessen the giant power spike a team gets from getting a super care package weapon.

  1. Agreed 1000%. Mastiff used to hit for something insane like 277, it was the kraber of shotguns. The current alternator is weaker than it was when they originally dropped disruptor round.
    The og ground loot peacekeeper did more damage than it's care package version.

  2. Love crypto but no drone following him is OP it's a scan non stop for your team, bangalore smoke would be even worse at game start… I would be happy if your emp would not affect you and your teammates, you could be way more agressive, maybe even pick loot, but if the drone can pick up loot they should rework loba ult so she can pick teammates banner

  3. Crypto should be able to switch the drone between follow and search mode. Ping a location and the drone goes there and circles. Drone needs to be faster too. He can afford it due to the power of other recon legends now

  4. Dude, I had conversation like this a while ago where I said "I miss the Spitfire, but like seriously why did they out the G7 inside the care package? I love the G7, but it's not stronger than the Flatline. You'd get more excited over the Flatline and the Flatline has more potential than the G7." And my team was like "you're crazy" then I pulled a match saving clutch with the Flatline while still having the G7 on me, and I just went "WITH THE FLATLINE!!!!!!!!!" and I could feel the heads of my teammates shaking like "bruh stfu".

  5. I wished I clipped but it can happen. I was fooling around with some prowlers last week when I made them chase me to the launch things. One prowler glitched to the side and it blasted me forward while it blasted the prowler sideways. It was awesome.

  6. Put the Mastiff back in care package permanently, just like the Kraber is always there – having a long range and short range weapon that are to be feared adds a fun variety to the game and simplifies the shotgun meta. Arguably the L-Star should also go in, keeping a nice trio of quirky long, medium and short range weapons. Quite honestly, I'd be happy with just that but you could maybe vary the fourth in the way they've been doing – the alternator has been a particularly fun addition.

  7. I don’t think care package weapons should be auto win weapons. I like having slightly stronger guns that give you an advantage but not one so big your team can’t lose anymore. The care package mastiff use to be a monster the Kraber is still the Kraber and I’m scared to fight someone with an alternator. I think the weapons rn are just fine. Only thing I would swap would be the G7 for a decked out devotion

  8. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this. Ever since the r-99 in cp back in s6 care package guns have been lackluster. They haven’t been as powerful, and I feel like if I’m bothering to take the time to risk my life for a package it should be a gun good enough to win me the game assuming I’m good

    I want guns as good as devo, mastiff, and kraber back in cp

  9. the problem isn't with the weapons, it's how shields work these days. There is no limit to how much purple/red armor there is anymore. The power creep is the armor, 100%.

    I mean one kill upgrades a blue to a purple, far too easy imo. A couple weapons can do that off 2-3 bullets without ever putting yourself in harm's way. You ain't seeing blue armor mid-late game, everyone's a tank. Look at the final 3 teams at 13:00, everyone has red armor. That's 15% of the lobby and you know there's many more players that had red. When near half the lobby has red/purple armor, those care package weapons aren't gonna feel as powerful.

    You can also spend mats to up armor as well. Weapons don't need changing, armor does. They basically give it away at this point.
