Shroud says Apex Legends is \u201cruined\u201d until new sliding \u2018bug\u2019 is fixed Respawn \/ Twitch: shroudTop Twitch streamer Michael \u2018shroud\u2018 Grzesiek has ruled out a return to playing Apex Legends \u2013 at least until a major bug with weapon accuracy is resolved. The former CS:GO professional is regarded as one of the finest aimers with a keyboard and mouse on all of Twitch, with the first person shooter genre his stomping ground. Apex Legends was right up his alley upon its launch, with a fast and fluid movement system, predictive weapon recoil just like Counter-Strike (which shroud says he actually suggested to the devs) and the classic battle royale gameplay that his channel is known for. However, after a month or so of almost non-stop Apex Legends, shroud appeared to fall out of love with Respawn\u2019s battle royale, and his hours streaming the game dwindled rapidly. This paralleled with a drop in the game\u2019s overall \u2018hype\u2019 levels too, with a lack of new content blamed for a declining player base and even faster declining revenue from in-game purchases. Following the big Legendary Hunt update on June 4, some viewers pleaded with shroud to give the game another chance, but he wasn\u2019t convinced. \u201cWhenever they fix the bug, yeh, I\u2019ll play it,\u201d he said. \u201cI am not playing it during that bug. Literally the whole game is ruined.\u201d Exactly what bug is shroud referring to? Well, it appears that following the June 4 update, Respawn have, perhaps unintentionally, added a severe accuracy penalty for shooting while sliding. As shown by shroud\u2019s housemate and former CS:GO teammate Tyler \u2018skadoodle\u2018 Latham, when players shoot when sliding the bullets appear to bloom randomly, where they were previously completely accurate. Shroud clarified that this was in fact the \u2018bug\u2019 he was referring to, explaining \u201cLiterally shoot your gun while sliding, and that\u2019s the bug. \u201cI would say half of Apex is sliding and shooting, so\u2026 yeah.\u201d What is concerning, however, is that Respawn have not actually confirmed whether or not this accuracy penalty when sliding is a bug or intentional. The penalty appears to exist across all weapon types, and so surely has to have been coded, quite deliberately into the game. It may require feedback from the community if Respawn are to implement a change, and revert to the pre-patch state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
