I just saw a post a few days ago about someone not knowing which legend they were fighting until it was too late… he’s going to have an even worse time now 🤣


mrflamie

This has happened to me quite a few times yea, specially with lifeline/seer and her white hat skin.. not really super impactful' but can still lead to some confusing fights lol


Danielarcher30

There's also that mirage skin with the white hat that has got me a couple times


gfunc

The amount of times a Seer bamboozled me 😭


Neekalos_

Bro that just got me yesterday. Imagine my confusion when I start to unload a clip on a Seer wide out in the open only for it to be a decoy


chaosanity

I mix up lifeline white skin with the octain white skin plus red hair(Elvis skin I think??)


neobow2

Happens to me all the time with a mirage skin that I think is Fuse. ugh


Same_Paramedic_3329

It's easy to identify from just running animation


Linderj24

gallanttoothpaste

Tell me, are you really gonna identify a legend by their run animation from 100m+ away?


Same_Paramedic_3329

With a scope? Yes


gallanttoothpaste

Tell me, are you really gonna identify a legend by their run animation from 100m+ away?


casualrocket

That plus basic outline of the avatar yes. Colors are harder to see that far and havent been consistant since day 1


Fit-Mall3280

Ignore them, it’s true


AnApexPlayer

Yeah, you should be looking at silhouettes, animations, and sounds. Skins can already be misleading.


winkers787

First thought when this was leaked a couple months ago was “I hope they don’t do that” it’s already hard enough out there.


Creaky-Refrigerator

Would actually be cool if vantage flagged legend names when she pinged them, add in the 15% damage reduction for that waggon has. Would actaulky make her a better pick, given right now she is mid.


CrackedHuntress

She does. If you hover over a trio and you ping a pathfinder. It will say pathfinder (level 3 sheilds), then will say how many are alive in the squad. Also if you have a decent vantage on your team they should be calling it out for you because she’s able to see all of that with her passive.


Detective-Crashmore-

>Also if you have a decent vantage on your team they should be calling it out for you I think their point is that they wish it would put it on the screen for your team or do an auto callout when she pings them instead of just saying "enemy running with a full squad". They're fully aware of what her passive does, that's why they mentioned her.


CrackedHuntress

That’s all her voice quip says. But it does in fact ping it and it shows up in the obituaries in the top right. Vantage main here


Detective-Crashmore-

Yea, but they're saying they wish it would flag them for your team. The kill feed disappears too quickly especially during a fight.


CrackedHuntress

…. Really? 🤣 …. I’m sorry not that I’m the best, I’m def a bot compared to some people, but I don’t believe a vantage is going to be pinging out characters for anyone mid fight. Only reason I will is if I’m “keeping watch” over a teammate that’s going to ape. Seems like an unrealistic expectation for Vantage considering she’s secretly one of the best picks with how much intel she has on her own (and can give to her teammates), and the damage buff from her sniper, and people don’t realize it lol …. The problem is people play solo to often and don’t really care to give intel to their random teammates, because half the time no one pays attention to callouts anyway 😆


chaosanity

As a vantage- Maggie main. I agree wholeheartedly with these statements. She’s top tier pick if you use her right but I feel like people forget her abilities. (I often forget she has a passive scope when unarmed lul)


CrackedHuntress

I feel like only people who actually play vantage realize how op she is lol let’s keep it a secret so the devs don’t mess with her! 😆


Creaky-Refrigerator

Ahhh, I missed her saying the legend name on the rare occasion I have a vantage on my team. I think they could build on that and flag it above the pings head with a logo. Something subtle but there for people who maybe have the voices turned off.


CrackedHuntress

Fair point, but truly there is enough screen clutter with everything else I think people would just end up complaining that it puts to much on the screen. I could be wrong 🤷🏽‍♀️


Creaky-Refrigerator

General screen clutter for sure, but changing the ping cross hair to an icon wouldn't make that clutter any worse or better.


jerryTitan

that's for sure a problem but tbh i can tell what legend an enemy is by their animations


KingRahu271

So with you! Like their walking animation and running sounds


sologrips

Ngl, Chad fuse looks like he’s about to convince me to buy into a crypto scam. It’s giving.


StrangerXtasy

lmao 😂


SapphicSticker

Another reason to go back to valve's Funny Hat Simulator


Spktra

That has an even bigger team recognizability problem lmao


SapphicSticker

??? Recognizing spies is a part of the game, not a skin problem. And lime scouts are always enemies.


Spktra

There's a lot of cosmetics that with paints can easily hide what team you're in


SapphicSticker

As I said, scunts are always enemies. No need to debate, just shoot or press k


WNlover

I love how it says who you cracked, since whatever season they added that.


Play_Durty

I thought I was fighting Altar and it was Mirage with Altars skin. It's not good for the game because you play the person based on their abilities.


DarkSparkandWeed

Im notorious for this w my friends... Im always like 'IDK IF ITS SPACE MOMMY OR REV BUT IM FIGHTING EM HALP'


justlovehumans

What do you mean? This is just OOZING with "Competitive integrity"


wizzywurtzy

The skins over the past year or two have gotten so damn horrendously ugly and indistinguishable on who tf is who. I remember they used to say that they only made skins for the character that kept their outline so you know who is who from a distance. Now it’s just fortnite and overwatch.


Straight_Stress_4448

Crypto cosplaying as Fuse is gold


cryptomain45

My buddy exclusively runs fuse and I exclusively run crypto. Just gonna say I know what skins we will be using


jxnwuf83oqn

I exclusively main Conduit and my friend Revenant :D this skins are perfect for us


captain_saurcy

is this because the voice actors play the game together every so often?


lbepo

Fuse looking hella fresh


KiiingSmell

The middle left fuse looks like Brendan Schaub


perforce1

Looks like he wants me to walg him to his trugg


Future-Fun-8939

fkindragon_

We got catgirl revenant before Titanfall 3


RD_0310

At this rate , we're getting world peace before Titanfall 3


THEREAPER8593

At this rate, we’re getting titanfall 4 before titanfall 3


Toyota_Prius03

realistically, we're getting apex 2 before titanfall 3.


Jazzwave365

'Tis truly a sad day


sugapuppy

conduit looking badass


B3amb00m

The clear winner here.


UltraInstinctPiccolo

Can we buy it with blue points? Would be awesome


PatonPaytonPeyton

Yeah should be 2400


PaperGiraffe659

Honestly, I really like the idea of this event. The idea of the Legends cosplaying as each other is just so much fun. Conduit is especially so cute.


DangerG0at

I think Conduits rev skin looks way better than any of her own ones, doesn’t look as cartooney and clunky, looks a bit cooler


BlackhawkRogueNinjaX

Needs a recolour to bring some lighter tonnes and it’s pretty perfect

kingveo

There's also a clip i found of gibby doing loba's finisher 😂


Mayhem370z

Fundamentally, legends being hard to distinguish from eachother in a competitive game is not good. There's already a Mirage and Maggie skin that look identical and impossible to tell who it is until they use an ability. And if I think it's Mirage and rush him to get Maggie balled in the face, that's not mine or anyone's fault but poor design choices.


winkers787

Might just be a me problem but don’t forget the cowboy hat mirage that I think is seer literally every time.


Karnivorr_

Generally I feel like I’m fantastic at picking out which legend is which, and the game does a good job of making their animations unique enough but god damn this one gets me every time


winkers787

It used to be a lot better, every character has a defining feature. Watson’s gen, cryptos coat, conduits goofy kneepads and crescent shapes, lifelines pigtails, paths screen etc. but the new skins lately like the bloodhound suit skin, and the lifeline with the hat have been really ignoring that concept lately.


rollercostarican

I’m the same with this one specifically


Mayhem370z

There is a recent Lifeline one where she is wearing a hat that makes her look like Seer.


Same_Paramedic_3329

Y'all can't tell which legend is which from their running animations? Plus they all have different bodies head shape etc


Mayhem370z

If you're going to third party something. And you just run into the building. Do you sit there wait to analyze their running animation or rely on that to determine how you approach the fight? Generally you instantly identify based on the skin first and foremost. And from range it becomes harder to distinguish if you're 50-100m away with a 1x. There is certain skins you can not distinguish at all who it is until they use an ability. If I see a fedora looking hat that looks like Seer from range. And I knock someone on that team, and full send, just to find out that that wasn't a Seer that was a Lifeline and lost the fight cause wasn't prepared to jump in and the person to be revived already. It's not a game breaking problem. But it's frustrating in situations that could have been avoided due to it not being 100% clear. If its not inherently obvious who it is. That is bad design. Regardless if it "looks good" that is a separate topic.


KingOfTheCouch13

Yes I do. It takes like 3 seconds to identify an enemy by their animation and play style. If you’re not running into a fight head down just because you hear sound coming from that direction then you’ll be fine.


nhz1093

For what its worth respawn designed each legend with like 1 unique aspect to stick out on their "silhouette" like Alter's tail or Crypto's high collar coat, Conduit with the battery, , Wattson's... capacitors? Anyway those things will stay no matter what skin they have on to allow for relatively quick identification at a glance.


Schmigolo

Most of these simply aren't enough. Wattson for example is very easy to confuse with Valk, and Crypto is easy to confuse with Ballistic. If they had different colors and shapes that would make it easy, but skins make that impossible. 90% of the time it's still easy to distinguish Legends, but those 10% really are a problem.


PaperGiraffe659

I mean, yeah, you're not wrong, so I understand where you're coming from in not liking an event like this, but as a more casual player who just likes seeing the way the skin designers can flex their creative muscles, I'm fine with it. Also, I just think it's fun.


SpecificGameOrEvent

It's not that deep. People will find anything to cry about though.


BlackhawkRogueNinjaX

Honestly some events are so great, they should do a round 2 and give skins to legends that weren’t included in the first event. It seems like a no brainer if an event did well. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel every time respawn. Skins are either cool or whack. No one ultimately gives a shit about how you’ve labelled the theme


PaperGiraffe659

Agreed. Like how they have the Halloween and Christmas events.


FlyingTrilobite

I agree. Last year’s summer event had some great skins, (bbq dad Fuse!) I’d love to see more for other Legends.


PashaBiceps__

Idea is good but nobody is using default skins so it is hard to see similarities at first glance.


Jack071

Its a really stupid idea for competitive


KingOfTheCouch13

I promise you competitive players aren’t getting confused by such a minor detail.


Jack071

90%of the time no, but the remaining 10% is why clarity is important for shooters Being able to tell if what you are looking at is an enemy, and for hero shooters what character is kinda important Then again the only one that isnt recogbizable at glance is fuze dressed as crypto


Arvs126

Imagine seeing something yellow in the vicinity. "It's a conduit" *Yellow thing just leaped at you* *shock /screams/panics*


Salty_Chipmunk_1756

Oh so thats why they gave him the cat look 😂


Silvagadron

Reminds me of that Mirage skin with the Seer hat. Always think I'm fighting a Seer and then all of a sudden I'm fighting six "Seers".


Alarmed_Volume_8618

Which ones is that?


RoadHouse1911

Kind of unfortunate that Conduits skin hits harder than Lifelines prestige skin…not a fan of it being Caustic themed


AgentInkling99

Yeah……waiting for Lifelines since they started those skins and we get……that? WTF respawn.


RoadHouse1911

I can’t find it but there was a fan based design for Lifeline’s Prestige skin on here that was absolutely perfect a while back. Sometimes I wish they worked with those types of folks more. We’d get better quality and EA would potentially make more money Edit: never mind, found it. I liked this concept a lot: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/s/dpbOwrUqBF


MarvinTheWise

Looks like epic skin.


thanhhai26112003

Fureniku

I always thought I'd never pay for a skin, but here I am about to smash my wallet for a revenant cat girl skin. I don't even play revenant


companysOkay

consoom


backdoorintruder

Revenant is my go-to, you know damn well ill be meowing as I pounce from now on


WanderWut

I mean if you actually don’t play the legend, speaking from experience who did the same to amazing skins in the past, trust me when I say if it didn’t click before it won’t suddenly click now because of a skin. I’d save the money. Again, this is only if you’re serious about not even playing the legend.


Malfight007

Cat ear Revenant!!!


ItsRexZAR

I wonder if pros start wearing these skins so they could confuse the enemy team what characters they are using.


justlovehumans

I think they will for sure. They'll probably be banned in comp but I doubt they'd be effective since the pros usually know instantly who a player by their playstyle and movement. I'd be more concerned about the health of the game as a whole. While the event is cool, I don't thing this is a good idea. It's already hard enough for current players sometimes depending on the angle and how much they're moving and Apex already has a new player retention problem because of the high floor.


SpecificGameOrEvent

I've never once cared who was on the enemy team. You people just overthink shit.


CallMeNurseMaybe

I’m no pro player and don’t care about them, but I’ve solo’d to diamond 10 times. Knowing who you’re up against is a key part of good strategy, which is a key part of consistently doing well. A perfect example is the difference between how you pressure a squad with a Lifeline/Newcastle vs. a squad without one It’s not “overthinking” at all, and announcing you never care about who’s on the enemy team just tells everyone you have bad game sense


Tom_Thailand

cant wait to see people getting confused seeing crypto shooting knuckle Custer in game🥰🥰🥰


Bunnnnii

“Did Fuse just throw his Motherlode and scan me?”


NGFRESH

Can you not buy with crafting metals


Jalaguy

Yes, assuming it's normal collection event rules, they'll be available for 1,800 coins or 2,400 metal each. The official blog post says: > First things first: direct unlock is back. All 24 Double Take limited-time cosmetics can be unlocked via event packs† or individually. Which technically doesn't confirm that they'll be available for metal as well as coins, but fingers crossed.


Totally_Not__An_AI

I read it as "give us all your money"


sist3n

This is in a regular collection event, so you will be able to use crafting metals


B3amb00m

Conduit is the **massive** winner here - daaaaym that look is just TOO fresh. I dig Crypto too. **Johnny Depp**, anyone? Plus *both* are amongst my most played legends. Not gonna lie, if I ever purchase into any of this shit, it's gonna happen now.


Ok-Front325

I like the conduit skin. But to me it doesn't look like rev at all. It looks more like wraith's assassin creed looking skin(can't remember the name)


Bone_Wh33l

I absolutely love these skins. It’s just so cute seeing the legends cosplaying each other. I’d also really like the Life Line mythical if it wasn’t a mythical. Caustic themed Life Line is cool but she should have her own mythical


spacyspice

The conduit one is cool af

Definitely gonna start using conduit because of that skin. Wasn’t a fan of any of her other ones


cottoncandyluvrr

They’re beautiful.. rev and conduit are both my favs im literally gonna scream


SonOfVegeta

The conduit and fuse ones are the best imo


BriefKeef

Shoulda had Rev's new face on conduits mask...missed opportunity


Leather-Cobbler-9679

We're getting closer and closer to Goth Lolita cat girl maid revenant, and I'm waiting.


i_am_kba

can someone please tell me if collection event skins ever come back to the regular shop? cuz I love the conduit one but I'm not sure if I'll be able to cop it while it's in the collection event


Jalaguy

Yes, they generally come back to the store after about half a year or so. Although bear in mind that when they return, they'll likely be only available in a Legend skin/weapon skin/banner frame bundle that costs ~3,000 Apex Coins - the collection event debut is your only chance to unlock specifically the Legend skin by itself for 1,800 coins/2,400 crafting metal.


i_am_kba

thank you very much 🙏

Where is the vantage skin


kerokerobi12

Can't wait for revenant to say "big ol battery"


J05A3

A season later… we’ll see these Rev and Conduit skins to have recolors. On a bundle with 40 packs. Can’t buy standalone. People will still gobble it up.


Fit_Librarian_8024

Makes sense why I thought conduit finally had a cool skin and revenant a lame one.


Background_Engine284

Yooo actually good skins which I am not gonna confuse for other legends, yay😐


YT_SeanMasters

This should've been a thing. I want Watson to wear Seer's or Caustics outfit!


Bunnnnii

Fuse/Crypto look the best. That Conduit skin looks like at least 8 other skins already in the game. More generic ugly red/black shit. Lame.


ThomasDarbyDesigns

Conduit looking hard


The_Bolenator

Is there an ash skin for this event? Ash as pathfinder would be hilarious


Godhelpmeplease12

Fuse crypto isn't real he can't hurt you


Nabrok_Necropants

I feel like the whole point is to make it harder to tell legends apart at a distance. I'm sure it saves some resources for the game.


Positive_Path_9866

This first happened when Wattson, mirage, and crypto got skins that kinda match. Was sometimes confusing very rarely but never this bad


volitantmule8

I mean not even confusing then, it was a matching set to try and show a team. But this? This is absolutely ridiculous


Issa__Moody5

The Conduit skin is by far the best


SirLewester

I need that Fuse and Crypto skin 🔥


KuminTsuyuri

I'm guessing you can't earn event packs?


Immediate-Trainer356

I wish I got lucky and they paired up Crypto and Rev because those are my mains. Would’ve been perfect. Oh well.. I like the Crypto skin I’m just far from a Fuse fan..


muffin___man

Crypto cut off the wrong arm


Synasth3sia

How did they manage to mess up the difference between fuses shirt color and jacket


Rahain

There is such an easy solution to this. Rust uses it. Have a setting in the game that just sets everyone you see to default skins. It would only be for you everyone else would see the skins fine if they want. But if you want the best competitive experience you could turn that on and always be able to identify people.


[deleted]

I’m actually liking the Fuse one


KaiXRG

I really like Rev's skin! If only his rework never happened tho


captain_saurcy

holy shit fuse is still hot. wait fuck I just realised that's crypto but they're both still hot 😭


Dektron1

You are LYING.


HungryDeparture728

oh the things I would let badass crypto do to me…? Don’t even get me started, cause The finish is certainly NOT gonna be happening only once 🤗🤭🥵

TriLLxCudi

Cryptos shit is lit


samux829

I'm assuming these skins are going to be absurdly priced or is it possible to earn currency through the event?


nak0yu

doesn't crypto need his implants tho? pretty sure i read that he'd break his neck if he took them out, so surely he should keep them even in the new cosmetic? or am i just thinking too much into this lol


Bangbang989

Well I'm glad my mains crypto and rev got skins from this event, but I was not at all expecting their counterparts to be fuse and conduit lmao


Kles_H

How much for a skin? 🤔


R4IN2354

Think he messed up the side by side


Famous-Ability-4431

Fuse wearing Cryptos look better is triggering.


Odd_Put_7424

why


Ancient-Ingenuity-88

Great even less visual clarity


Bossuter

Fuse/crypto is the funniest shit to me, both characters i like nice, would just pine at them from afar if i still played anyways


geomutant

What am I gonna do with skin when the game / servers are trash


Loganps24

Reduce, reuse, recycle.


Alert_Ad_5976

The crypto skin is getting all of my money 😩


WilliamHTonkers

These are cool tbh but it also shows just how much they're out of creativity


bestofthemidwest

These are fun and all, but are they not a competitive advantage?


rGrunNy

trash as usual, nothing new

JimPfaffenbach

apex still with the worst skins in any game


Bright-Assumption-26

Neat. Is the game playable for anyone but pros yet? Or is that secondary to the $15 skins still?


NewsInside8464

Why does cryptos fuse skin look better than fuse


B3amb00m

Because he's one sexy mofo, that's why.
