Shroud reveals he directly influenced Apex Legends weapon recoil Former CS:GO pro turned streamer, Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek can finally talk about and play Respawn\u2019s new \u2018Apex Legends\u2019 battle royale, having helped in its development for months. Recognized as one of the finest PC gamers in the world, shroud has taken his talents to a variety of titles after retiring from professional play, and his insight is invaluable to developers \u2013 as well as his exposure. He pulled in over 100,000 concurrent viewers on his first day of streaming the game on February 4, and as he finally got to show off his skills in Apex Legends, he also revealed some of the design insight he had shared with the devs. 700One of Counter-Strike\u2019s trademark gameplay features is the use of consistent, predictable recoil patterns. Each weapon has its own specific pattern, which it will replicate exactly every single time it is fired. Shroud explains that his experience with CS:GO informed one of his suggestions to Respawn, who had originally implemented a more randomized recoil system. \u201cThe recoil on their weapons was kind of randomized, and I told them \u2018you know what would be really cool in this game and you guys should try \u2013 having pre-set recoil on every single weapon, like Counter-Strike’\u201d, shroud explains, \u201cThey ended up going with that idea, and that\u2019s how the recoil is in this game now.\u201d So, when a player fires a weapon full-auto, it will produce the exact same recoil pattern every time, allowing players who spend time with the game to master each weapon and its specific pattern. In Apex Legends, some weapons are much more easily controlled than others, with the more powerful weapons having more punishing recoil which the player must attempt to counter.
