Apex Legends players suggest major loot pool changes ahead of Season 12 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 12 is on the horizon, and players are eager to see how Respawn changes up the battle royale\u2019s formula this time around. Although the developers no doubt have plenty of changes planned themselves, fans have had their say on which items they want to see removed from the loot pool. Season 11 of Apex Legends is nearing the end of its lifespan, before making way for the shiny new Season 12 update coming in February. Even though the new chapter is just weeks away, we still know precious little about what to expect outside of a rumored new legend. While it will likely include fixes to some of the bugs and glitches that have plagued Season 11, fans have come up with some changes of their own that they want to see when the update rolls around. One of the most notable tweaks they are calling for is the loot available in each match. Apex has always had a huge variety of items scattered around its maps for players to collect, but players feel it could be streamlined to emphasize quality over quantity. Reddit user dog_in_a_gutter started the discussion, asking the question, \u201cWhat do you think should be taken out of the game to clean the loot pool?\u201d The community responded in droves, with the post receiving 1,700 comments in less than a day. One of the more popular responses called for white shields and helmets to be removed from the game, making blue the lowest rarity in both. Players questioned how often they are used, with one calling them \u201cuseless bloat in the loot pool.\u201d Another idea that emerged on the thread would see the Bocek Compound Bow move into care packages, with the G7 heading back into the ground loot. \u201cI think if they buff the Bow and put it in the package instead of the G7, they free up so much space. You completely get rid of one ammo type and a weapon.\u201d Players loved the idea of reserving the Bow for care packages so that arrows could be totally removed from the ground, as they only apply to one weapon. Although, they conceded that the Bow would need a buff to around \u201c80 body, 100 headshot\u201d damage for it to work. The community also took to the thread asking for white backpacks to be removed from the loot pool, arguing that all players should start with one as standard. \u201cWhite backpack, make this a thing everybody has when the round begins,\u201d said the comment. \u201cAgreed, we all know the struggle,\u201d replied another user. One of the other biggest takeaways from the thread is that certain hop-ups, like Tempo, should be built into weapons, rather than being picked up. \u201cTempo is definitely something that should be built into the Bow and Sentinel by default, they offer only slight advantages that don\u2019t make the weapon out of balance by default.\u201d Read More: What is tap strafing in Apex Legends? – A different user responded calling for Shatter Caps, which allows the Bow or 30-30 repeater to switch fire types, to receive the same treatment. \u201cNo one is killing the game with shatter caps and it increases the versatility of weapons that almost no one uses.\u201d None of the changes mentioned here would drastically alter the Apex Legends experience, but it\u2019s easy to see how they could make the ground loot leaner and more useful. Fans will be hoping that Respawn take some of these suggestions on board when planning for Season 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
