Shroud breaks down which Apex Legends weapons are the best and why Seeing as how Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek is one of the best Apex Legends players in the world, it\u2019s probably worth listening when he talks about which kinds of weapons he prefers using. Weapons comprise one of the most important pillars of Apex Legends, and thus it\u2019s important for any player who\u2019s aspiring to master the game to familiarize themselves with the ins and outs of each gun. Shroud, who is universally considered to be among the top Apex players in the world, knows a thing or two about weapons, and has broken down which weapons he prefers and why. According to the former CS:GO pro, the best weapons are the ones that allow the player to most freely move around side-to-side while aiming down sight and shooting. \u201cThe best weapons are the weapons that are most mobile,\u201d he said. \u201d That\u2019s why the Wingman and R-99 are really good.\u201d He then contrasted this idea with the Spitfire, which is considered to be one of the more powerful weapons in the game. Despite its potency, however, it\u2019s lack of mobility means that it just doesn\u2019t meet the cut for shroud. \u201cSpitfire is great, but you go up against anyone that\u2019s half decent, that Spitfire is terrible,\u201d he said. \u201cYou literally have to stand still. There\u2019s no side strafes; you can\u2019t side strafe with the Spitfire. You\u2019re a fucking sitting duck, and you just die. It\u2019s just a heavy weapon.\u201d (Conversation is in the first 25 seconds of the video) It\u2019s important to note that since Shroud made these comments, Respawn Entertainment did finally nerf the Wingman in the balancing update they rolled out on March 6. Its rate of fire was reduced from 3.1 to 2.6, while the Skullpiercer headshot damage multiplier was lowered from 2.5 to 2.25. The base hip-fire spread was increased while the rate at which the hip-fire spread shrinks back down has been decreased. Shroud has, of course, shared his thoughts about the changes, and after initially calling them \u201cnot the right nerf,\u201d he later changed his mind and appreciated that the effectiveness of the weapon had been noticeably reduced. However, despite the changes, it appears that the Wingman is still one of the more powerful weapons in the game, and its combination with the R-99 might still be the go-to for many of the top players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
