Simple changes to abilities in Apex Legends make fights easier Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends community is requesting simple color swaps to a few characters\u2019 abilities that would help players distinguish them in firefights. Since the game\u2019s launch, players have sometimes run into an issue where missiles from Bangalore and Gibraltar\u2019s ultimates can get mixed up with the enemy\u2019s attacks. Even though there are distinct voice lines or other queues that clues people about certain abilities being used, it can get difficult to track when there are multiple explosions and effects happening on the screen. That\u2019s why various players are in agreement that Respawn should implement a change of color to multiple abilities that would let people easily distinguish if an attack is friendly or not. A simple mockup by Reddit user \u2018goodboiluke\u2019 shows how simple a change the improvements can be. When Gibby throws his beacon for the Defensive Bombardment or when Bangalore calls in her Rolling Thunder, a slightly purple hue can make it clear if a friendly ult is used. \u201cAudio cues are there but sometimes in the heat of the moment you can easily miss them,\u201d one user said about the proposed changes. \u201cThis would be a good thing. Good thinking.\u201d The ideas would be an overall quality of life improvement for the game that could also be applied to other abilities that have been giving players similar problems. Reddit user \u2018SAS97x\u2019 was perplexed to see that Respawn still hadn\u2019t changed Caustic\u2019s Nox Gas Traps to make it harder for teams to unintentionally run into an enemy\u2019s barrel. \u201cWhy has this simple but genius idea not been implemented?\u201d SAS97x said. \u201cBeing in a fight with two Caustics, one on your team and one on the enemy team, is super annoying because all the traps look exactly the same.\u201d The change would primarily consist of a green base for friendly Gas Traps, while an enemy\u2019s would stay as is with a red bottom. While the Respawn is at it, they could also change the color of the Nox Gas from the color of normal smoke when Bloodhound uses their ultimate Beast of the Hunt. Without the changes, team fights could continue to be marred by the confusion these abilities can cause throughout the Apex Games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
