Shroud is one of the most popular streamers out there and made a name for himself with his insane skills in first-person shooters. The Canadian has played just about every shooter at a high level after retiring from CS:GO and fans all over the world still flock to him to learn and watch incredible gameplay. He\u2019s recently been enjoying Apex Legends and spoke about the potential of crossplay between consoles and PC for the game, citing one key issue that the devs would have to work on for it to be fair. Grzesiek took a break in-between games to answer a viewer\u2019s question about the possibility of crossplay in Apex and immediately pointed to an issue with muzzle flash. \u201cIf they\u2019re even considering doing crossplay muzzle flash needs to be changed or removed. That\u2019s the advantage [of console]. It\u2019s not so much that controllers are aimbots, the problem is that the controller is correcting you even if you\u2019re visually impaired.\u201d He began, before giving a specific example. \u201cFor example, shooting with the r99. The controller doesn\u2019t have any problem, meanwhile, with a mouse, you have to correct yourself when you\u2019re fighting indoors and face muzzle flash.\u201d Quoted segment begins at 11:26. The Canadian does have a point, as consoles are equipped with some aim assist to make the game bearable to play. It\u2019s very difficult to track opponents with a controller so many popular shooters add some sort of aim assist to help players who are already aiming well to stick to their opponent. This means sometimes players don\u2019t need to aim through muzzle flash as the aim assist will help, meanwhile on PC, it is a lot more troublesome. Respawn has not commented on this potential issue, although, if there is some crossplay, they would have no doubt thought long and hard on how to make the game fair for both sides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud explains why controllers would have an \u201cadvantage\u201d in Apex crossplay Mixer: shroud \/ RespawnMixer star Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek has explained his thoughts on crossplay between consoles and PC in Apex Legends, pointing to one key thing that would need to be fixed for it to be fair.
