Apex Legends Heirlooms and weapons called \u201cpay to lose\u201d over speed bug Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Heirlooms are some of the most highly sort after cosmetics in the game, but one player has discovered that they could be giving players a significant disadvantage. Heirlooms are highly desirable items in Apex Legends, with each one tailored around a specific Legend. However, a recent finding has revealed that weapons released after the 30-30 Repeater and Heirlooms are giving players a significant disadvantage on the game\u2019s battlefields. Speed is often imperative in Apex Legends, particularly when you\u2019re looking to outmaneuver your opponents and go for those hyper-aggressive flanks. One of the best movement options is that of ziplines, which enable squads to quickly take to the skies and safely reposition. Well, this movement-enhancing mechanic is currently being impacted by Heirlooms and a number of weapons. Apex Legends Heirlooms and sluggish zipline acceleration In a video posted to the official Apex Legends Reddit page, one player highlighted how weapons released after the 30-30 Repeater and every Heirloom make Legends accelerate slower on ziplines. The player tested this out with a number of the Apex Legends\u2019 Heirloom, 30-30 Repeater, Volt SMG, and no Heirloom equipped. There\u2019s certainly a clear difference between the acceleration speed, which has led players to dub Heirlooms as \u201cpay to lose\u201d. In fact, it takes 30 more frames to reach maximum zipline velocity when an Heirloom is equipped, which equates to half a second. While this may not seem like a drastic loss of time, it\u2019s still a disadvantage that players get from simply using one of the game\u2019s cosmetics. As of writing, the post has received a lot of attention from the Apex community, with many players agreeing that zipline acceleration felt a little off when Heirlooms were equipped. \u201cI was always confused when my friend was always somehow getting ahead of me on a zip,\u201d said one commenter. \u201cI f***ing knew the day I unlocked Bloodhound\u2019s Heirloom and took it into a match it was f***ing up on ziplines. It\u2019s nice to see definitive proof,\u201d another responded. Hopefully, Respawn will see this thread and address the issue in an upcoming update, but for now, consider unequipping Heirlooms if you plan on using ziplines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
