Why you shouldn\u2019t use the Precision Choke Hop-Up in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentThe Precision Choke Hop-Up can be a powerful attachment in Apex Legends, but apparently there\u2019s a reason why pro players mostly don\u2019t use it. The purpose of the Precision Choke is that, when equipped to a compatible weapon, it reduces the spread of its projectiles by up to three levels, making the final, fully charged shot very accurate. It\u2019s currently only compatible with the Triple Take and Peacekeeper, and most players will use it with the latter because a single charged-up blast from the powerful shotgun could fatally cripple an enemy. However, while the Precision Choke may seem like a good attachment on paper, higher-level players apparently avoid it, and YouTuber QuakeV explained why in one of his recent videos. The first reason he brought up was DPS, or damage per second, which gets drastically reduced if you spend the time to charge up the Peacekeeper. \u201cIf you actually take the time to charge up the Choke, you have a lot less DPS,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you shoot the Peacekeeper at its highest fire rate, you get a lot more DPS than if you were to constantly charge up the PK.\u201d The second reason is reduced mobility; using the Hop-Up makes it difficult and borderline impossible to \u201cjiggle peek,\u201d which is a tactic a lot of top players use to peek around a corner, shoot their shotgun, and quickly get back behind cover. \u201cIt makes it a lot harder to jiggle peek correctly,\u201d QuakeV explained You have to charge up the Choke and peek it, and you can\u2019t jiggle peek it as quick or as well.\u201d The third and final reason is less accuracy in close-quarters: \u201cWhen you\u2019re actually close-range fighting, it makes it a lot harder to hit your shots with it.\u201d (Segment begins at 1:30 mark for mobile users) It\u2019s fitting that, as he was trying to offer an explanation for why he doesn\u2019t like the Precision Choke, QuakeV was pushed by an enemy team and the ensuing gunfight ended up putting all of his points on full display. A combination of quick-firing, jiggle-peeking, and sharp accuracy in close-quarters resulted in him winning the battle, a perfect demonstration of what he probably couldn\u2019t have done if he had the Hop-Up equipped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
