#Strafe apex Patch#
So, while Apex's next patch will no longer be removing tap-strafing, it is adding a new collection event to the battle royale today. Quake 3 had it's own version of strafe-jumping that a dev tried to get rid of because he didn't like everyone "bouncing around all the time". Movement exploits like this have existed in FPSs for yonks. Originally, Respawn said they wanted to remove tap-strafing because it's "inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement abilities." It's the sort of movement tech used predominantly by high-level players, and part of the argument is that it's not fair on console users (now that Apex has cross play), or folks using a controller, because they can't tap-strafe as effectively. Most players who're experienced with this tech will bind "move forward" to their mouse scroll wheel to consistently pull it off.
It lets you keep your momentum from the slide, then fling yourself around by 180 degrees to speedily hop around corners, or dodge enemies. The devs will offer a “more detailed note” about the mechanic’s removal in the next patch notes.To perform a tap-strafe, you need to spam your forward button after slide-jumping while attempting to move to the side. Since Respawn claims the decision was made “after much consideration and debate,” it was likely a heavily discussed topic. And former League of Legends pro Dyrus said “rest in peace apex actually killed by its devs once again.” NiceWigg wondered if removing the scroll wheel tap-strafing was an option, rather than cutting the mechanic entirely. But PC players immediately drew connections to console players reaping the benefits of aim assist, which helps them lock on to their target when using a controller.Īpex pro Nokokopuffs replied that it was the “shittiest decision ever made,” for example. With tap-strafing only accessible to PC players, Respawn likely wants to even the playing field for less-experienced players and console users. This can be used in tandem with wall jumping to bamboozle your opponents or lead to a quick getaway. This allows players to spam forward while slide-jumping and air-strafing, providing incredible mobility and rapid turns. To pull off the mechanic, many PC players bind their “move forward” command to the scroll wheel.
Tap-strafing appears to have caught Respawn’s eye because it gives certain players a huge advantage on the battlefield.
#Strafe apex update#
It’s unclear when Patch 10.1 will go live, but Respawn usually deploys a midseason update that balances anything particularly egregious. The next patch notes will include a more detailed note about this.- Respawn August 31, 2021 Our reasoning: It's inaccessible, lacks readability/counterplay, and is exacerbated by movement abilities. After much consideration and debate, we've decided to remove tap-strafing from in patch 10.1.
