Apex Legends players divided over controversial Arc Star changes coming soon Respawn\/EAApex Legends players have been left a little split after it was revealed that Arc Stars would be nerfed in the upcoming Raiders Collection Event update. While they\u2019ve never been a way to guarantee success, the three types of grenades have always played a big role in Apex Legends games. A well-placed Frag will soften an enemy before you swoop in with a gun or ability, Thermites can fortify positions and prevent over-aggressive pushes, and Arc Stars can stun an enemy in place while also ticking down their shield fairly decently. The Arc Stars have always been pretty powerful, and as players have been complaining about them in recent seasons, Respawn are giving them a bit of a tweak \u2013 with lowering the damage dealt from a stick being the biggest one. With the changes being revealed as a part of the Raiders Collection Event patch notes, players have been a bit split in their opinions on the change. \u201cWhy the hell did they nerf arc stars?\u201d asked Redditor JuiceEeEeE361, seemingly confused by it. Some players, like HedgehogEmperor, believe Respawn have gone too far with the changes and punish the skill needed to pull off a stick. \u201cWorst balance change I\u2019ve ever seen, no more rewarding skilled shots. Huge nerf to Fuse, Ash, and Horizon too,\u201d they said. One player complained that the change is \u201clame as hell\u201d while others suggested that they\u2019ll no longer be picked up in matches. \u201cSMH, nothing but frags and thermites (being used) now,\u201d one player added. On the flip side, some players said that they are \u201clooking forward\u201d to the changes as they\u2019ve been waiting for quite some time. \u201cGod damn this has been needed for so long,\u201d commented one pleased fan. \u201cA lucky Arc Star stick shouldn\u2019t determine an entire fight\u2019s outcome.\u201d Another, Brvtal100, added: \u201cWhen you are actually good with Arc Stars, it\u2019s a really cheese way to take out a whole squad. Comp teams know from experience.\u201d The change to the grenades will go live on December 7, though, if their usage does fall off a cliff, Respawn might have to switch things up again. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
