I beg to differ. Been using it the last few days and the launcher is not just bugged but flawed. Eggs magically fire to the right of the barrell and crosshair sometimes resulting in shots that wont hit any target you aim at and then they dont have a consistent forward motion. They can fly left, fly right, fly up and sometimes down. The projectile does not have a straight and consistent line like any bullet or snowballs from the afformentioned snowball launcher has. This makes the egg launcher the absolute worst weapon ever released in APB and what was already tedious is now impossible to do. Using the egg launcher is such a handicap that your threat might as well turn green upon equipping. The only thing it has going for it is that it can chew through cars but car kills with the egg launcher dont count towards the event.

Did anyone at LO actually test the egg launcher to make sure it actually functioned as a weapon? This thing is so broken its a$$. Eggs can fire to the right of the barrell and crosshair resulting in instantaneous misses (even at 1m) and hitreg is even bigger a$$ with this thing then it is normally.... and normally it doesnt exist. Then eggs will go in any and all directions, each shot going a different direction resulting in accuracy that doesnt exist and knowing which way the eggs will go is anybodies guess. It honestly feels like you threw something together, didnt test it and just threw it into the game in a broken state.

Any form of anti cheat will work miracles when the entire game code was taken by a cell phone and released into all cheats to effectively have a free pass through said anti cheat.

So im having the same problem that appears to be prevelent in here. GFAC fails to initilize and when clicking start the launcher auto closes and the game doesnt start. I am running through steam and I am still using windows 10. I deleted all GFAC files and the launcher fails to initilize GFAC to reinstall them with anti virus off.

Ive said this before and ill say it again. You cant balance weapons properly based off of hitreg that doesnt work. This is especially big for shotties, you have already rebalanced shotties twice since taking over from G1 and it hasnt fixed the problem. Making each pellet have its own hit made things worse cause you can be point blank and not get the kill cause afew pellets didnt register. Shotties have always been outplayed by SMGs and some ars at close range cause balancing has never been there. Within 12 or 10m shotties should be king, capable of one shotting enemies should all pellets hit (Minus auto shotties like NFAS). This is not the case as hitreg again doesnt exist and you have SMGs like the PMG that can 3 tap someone and you cant get a 2nd shot off with a shottie with that kind of TTK on an SMG rendering them pointless.

Buffs have nothing to do with this post. But yea they could have given a 10th outfit slot for us to play with.

Its a miracle APB is still around after 15 years and while it was an event to do it kind of felt like a letdown. Titles are nice and all but you can only have one at a time equipped and there was so much more that could have been done. There could have been limited time weapon skins for 15 years, there could of been shirts, skirts, pants and undergarments special for 15 years. We had a special shirt for 10 yrs. You could of ran the event longer and given more to do to reward more JT and even a chance at a legendary. But just titles alone feels abit lackluster for such a milestone and doesnt make it feel anymore special then one of the events that have been recycled 15 times already. All in all while it was something to do it wasnt THAT special compared to normal.

Any company that has multiple places to share info and chat should keep each and everyplace up to date. If a post goes to one area the same exact one should go to all the others. If you have multiple outlets and one of them is an official forum, the forum should always be the first point of contact. Only updating select places just shows laziness and a lack of caring for your community.

Trash talking has been a thing for years. There are no community standards and LO doesnt enforce the ones that are in the books. Hell their GMs are only that in name they cant actually ban anyone nor do they seem to care enough to enforce community guidelines.

We revive APB when cheaters are removed

News flash. Some are more broken then others, mainly ones that are op or broken to begin with. For example, whats more broken at range? A scout or an HVR? The point here is that the .45 is broken normally and shouldnt be so powerful. 95% equip rate is beyond a symbol of meta, its a sign that no other secondary can compete and they arent worth anything. In a properly balanced world 50% equip rate is high with how many secondaries are out there. Another example. At CQB range in APB what is the gun of choice? a PMG or a shottie? A PMG will always be the gun of choice cause its also broken. APB gun balancing is beyond broken and the last few gun changes have done little to fix that. The .45 is in that broken tier and there are ways to abuse it. A nerf is needed to bring it down from broken status and to bring up other secondaries to make them viable otherwise why have them in the game at all?

Ive seen that and seen it with a .45. It all goes back to why @MattScott and LO refuse to actually try to fix the problem.

Thats what happens after 2 shoulder surgeries, one of them being rotator cuff. I am by no means in my hayday and my arm isnt as steady as it used to be. I have to live with that both in game and irl, but I know for a fact that if you have an aimbot aka 100% accuracy the gun is very broken. A gun shouldnt have a 95% use rate in a game. That means there is nothing else that can compete.

Any cheater with a bot and macro can easily take you out with a 45 before you can kill them with a shottie or OCA. The gun is primary powerful and thats why 95% of the remaining playerbase uses it. Then theres the fact that legits suffer from non existant hitreg making it harder to kill someone while a bot always has perfect hitreg. If LO could do something about hackers it would help geatly but for the 45, make it 6 shots to kill instead of 5 and it would be fine. You have an extra bullet and a fast reload so its a minor nerf that would balance it out.
