►Apex has gotten incredibly sweaty as of late, so Boom and I decided to test to see how long it'd actually take people (who aren't pros) to get a 4k damage badge. First to get it, wins!

    Apex is reaching the point in its life cycle were most the people who play it only play this game which means most are really good. Which is making the game feel extremely difficult and that turns off most new players and the people who are playing it get better and better and has caused a slow in new or causal player growth.
  • @Tech_Duster
    Three years only playing this game and my highest is 3989. Did I feel robbed? Absolutely.
  • @Jay_758

    Ibe been playing since release, I have a 3k badge on wraith, most kills ive had in a match was 17 I believe, and highest damage was 3,131. That was also in season 5. I didnt stop playing this game till right before the end of catalysts season. I was I would say slightly better than average. I had a positive K/D every season, finished every battlepass within a week of release, I played this game all the time, every day, and I was really good. But then we started getting cheaters. And im not talking about wall hacks. Mods for controllers to make them better, pc players on controller so they can have scripts on console lobbies. It got to the point that it seemed like everyone but me was doing. I just stopped playing. I loved watching Kandy, I loved watching Staycation, I love watching Zylbrad. Yall got me into this game, and I loved it. But I cant with it anymore. I started not watching apex videos anymore, I still have it downloaded but Im thinking of deleting it altogether, which is heart breaking cause ive put over $3,500 into this game with 8 heirlooms and nearly every skin. Most people would dream of having my account with all of its skins, and I wont even Touch it with a stick. Im sad that I hate it so much. They wont fix ranked, they wont fix pubs, they wont add free items for people that dont have money, they keep adding pay zo win things, Its stupid. Apex was the cod killer. Apex was the Fortnite killer. Well we downed them, we let them get the revive off, and they killed us while we were running solo with nobody to revive us.

    Even tho i stopped played Apex long time ago (around Saison 1 I think, when Warzone came out) i just saw you popped in my Youtube home screen and i must say : Your good mood is such nice to see, specially in those competitive mods where people tend to be... unfunny or simply not kind, hope you had a blast with your friend grinding this badge (I think I have it only with Pathfinder ahaha) ! Happy new year man !
  • @overdosed51
    3 years in... i have 1 4k and haven't got the 20 bomb badge. The game is SOOO sweaty 😂

    You know it’s a good day when kandy posts a video

    I tried playing the game recently, and every lobby was super difficult. After not touching the game for several months, each game had numerous preds. I'm not sure if its sbmm turned to the max or that theres only good players left, but it feels like a fight for my actual life to get wins.
  • @Natsunalia
    I saw this and just screamed “yeah. And it really sucks!!!! I can’t play a game of normal, none ranked game, and are facing the SWEATIEST players I’ve ever seen. It gets aggravating after a while. Can barely win a game let alone get 4k
  • @ciccnick
    After 10 million ALGS qualifier pub lobbies, I finally got 4k on Caustic and Loba. I got it after I took a break from Apex for a while and stopped trying so hard.
  • @xrizzer1296
    S1 player here. 4k damage early in the game was extremely easy cause nobody would push and just stay back so racking up damage was easy. I can get to 3k in these new lobbies easy but a 4k seems impossible
  • @ashleyholmes893
    I still haven’t got a 4K badge either after nearly 5 years of the game
  • @PapaLuge
    I've recently came back to Apex this year in January and I couldnt agree more, the game was always incredibly sweaty but the casual matchmaking in this game just leads to you getting wiled out if you dont know tactics that a casual player would not. It's a shame though cus this is genuinely such a fun game since falling off R6S but despite all the rage I still love and enjoy this game, from the movement to the abilities.
  • @LxckPluto
    I’ve been watching Kandy since rev came out
  • @alvesvaren
    Yeah, everyone is soo sweaty now. I've never gotten a 3k badge, but I've been above 2950 and below 3000 a total of 5 times :(
  • I didn't play Apex for more or less the last two to three months of 2023 and only recently tried to start playing it again but it immediately reminded me of why I stopped playing in the first place. I basically never touch the BR mode anymore because all my friends stopped playing it and solo queue with randoms is pain when they want to hotdrop straight out the ship and W key every gunshot noise and footstep that they hear. If I do play BR now, I only do ranked while Control is in the rotation for mixtape mode, because braindead teammates that only want to go for kills make Control an extremely frustrating experience since they never play point. And then Ranked is also ridiculous although it's usually better than pubs since my teammates are less likely to throw their lives away. I barely touched the game for the last 3 months and my best rank I ever got was Plat several seasons ago when I'd still bother to put the time into grinding ranked and yet whatever this weird hidden MMR system is, it seems to think I belong in Master/Pred lobbies despite currently being Bronze II since I don't play the mode much. The game as a whole has become a painful experience for anyone that isn't at least at diamond level skill and it's sad that it's just not possible for a more casual gamer to have fun on Apex anymore. I don't want to have to play like I'm trying to win ALGS in order to have any sort of success in this game, I just want to be able to have fun again.
