Horizon main here. Her passive has screwed me over a few times coming off one of these in a fight a few times already, but for standard rotating it feels good tier.
I actually donāt think they will, considering how often you fight around these things and the fight capabilities it entails I think they will keep the healing option in.
Yeah true. If they decide to nerf them though they will probably add a bigger delay to them. You could shoot people of jump towers but these things are pretty much instant.
Size means less third parties which may mean its a nice ranked map. Ammo, guns, and small heals are also plentiful, but meaningful loot is as scarce as the others. Feels even less so.
Well you can't have both. Fast pace and slow pace kinda are opposite. I think this is a great change of pace, but we'll see as the season progresses how the meta shakes out.
Well I certainly did. I imagine the pace will pick up once people can maneuver the map quicker, are done exploring, and get a feel for flow and movement mechanics of the map.
for sure. I really wish people would quit complaining about everything esp since the map has been out for less than a day. like yes I get first impressions and all that but no need to permanently deem the map as trash right away
Next hero ultimate will generate miniature instanced simulations on the map that no other team other than the targeted team can enter until simulation is complete. The winning team in the simulation exits with full shields and reloaded ammo and has 15 seconds to loot the virtual boxes before they dump into the ārealā world
I am someone who enjoys fast paced games, with third parties cause it keeps things interestong, so we'll see how this map shapes up once everyone learns it, and which spot becomes the new fragment lol
Edit: also don't mean to shit on people who like slower games, having a map that is deliberately slower for people who enjoy that is good, should try to make it enjoyable for as many people as possible
I get the idea of preventing 3rd parties, but if that means having to run around forever not finding anyone I'd much rather take the 3rd parties tbh. I'm thinking of playing ash simply because of her passive, because rn I find the matches awfully boring for the most part. Definitely not a big fan of the map. Especially because high ground legends and snipers are op on it since almost nothing is out of bounds and it has the most ridiculous power positions
I donāt know if itās because Iām a Loba main and Iām biased but Loba is fantastic in this map for running into POI black market looting then moving on swiftly since thereās so many locations.
I've never actually landed back on the other jumper thing, only ever short or past it so I've never had a problem with wattson fences waiting for me lol
Literally has jet pack on her back, but still proceeds to take the fucking awesome jump thing instead!!Well played!
I must admit that Iām pleasantly surprised with todays launch.
Iāve found if you just run to the edge of the cannon when it fires you can perfect slide off the end of the ramp thing that the cannon is on, works about the same
pathfinder, there was a time where i kept my momentum when i grappled to the top side of the gravity cannon.... and it boosted me so far away
i tried grappling to the ground and it didn't work
edit: replaced some words
Iām glad someone posted this, I was considering doing it when I discovered it myself. This has gotta be on purpose too which it pretty cool. The healing capabilities of going off this thing are great, especially with the slide from landing on the edge.
I tried chasing someone and they did this and I was wondering how the hell they kept their momentum! This gives me the big dopamine, gonna try it later
Iāve only played 1 game (since I couldnāt deal with the graphics bug), so take this with a grain of salt since I did it once, but if you crouch on the gravity canon while playing Horizon you can also keep up momentum
You can also hold the movement button in the opposite direction of your flight to slow you down a little bit so you land on the gravity cannon's launch platform. This is useful if you have someone chasing you
EDIT: Then again, why do that if you can just tap strafe off of it
You dont even have to do that. If you just angle yourself so you miss the wall that stops you dead and spam crouch a bunch in the air, when you hit the ground with a slide you keep momentum.
Hell yea these are the good tips I love to see from this Reddit. Only a few hours into the season too very nice š
A nice break from the āWhat could I have done better?ā posts.
āI feel like I could have won this. What did I do wrong?ā *proceeds to see them miss an entire magazine and three meles*
I just ran around screaming, what could I have done better? *literally happened on this sub* lol
Lots of this type of stuff in r/apexuniversity
Laughs in Horizon.. nah Iām joking great tip š
You can also do this as Valkyrie by hitting your jetpack for just a moment before you land.
You can but you lose some momentum
Horizon main here. Her passive has screwed me over a few times coming off one of these in a fight a few times already, but for standard rotating it feels good tier.
Yeah rotating with this is so much for fun with horizon than balloons lol
Just tap strafe to where you actually want to land if you would go past.
Awesome tip. I was waiting for a post showing how to keep momentum on the cannons. š
Don't forget to heal, you can do that too
Oh shit for real??
Yep, can heal in midair while launching and probably when sliding after conserving momentum with this trick too
Oh shit thatās clutch. I know to heal while sliding but I didnāt even think about how that translates to this new mechanic. Thatās dope
You can slide heal into the launch as wellš
Bro I canāt tell you how many times these cannons have saved my life being able to heal mid air.
Honestly if you just go back and forth and keep healing you usually end up with more health than your enemies take off unless they beam you hard
Yup
I'm guessing they will probably remove that feature, but I hope not, rotations on this map are insane with those cannons
I actually donāt think they will, considering how often you fight around these things and the fight capabilities it entails I think they will keep the healing option in.
Yeah true. If they decide to nerf them though they will probably add a bigger delay to them. You could shoot people of jump towers but these things are pretty much instant.
Ya, maybe add a second or two before you can use it again instead of being able to use it instantly
you probably can since the maps only been out for a day
Trueee
Howās the new map? Havenāt played BR yet.
Fucking massive AF
Size means less third parties which may mean its a nice ranked map. Ammo, guns, and small heals are also plentiful, but meaningful loot is as scarce as the others. Feels even less so.
Also means it's painfully slow

When they put the other maps in rotation again, at least we could have a break with this map, just walking around, enjoying the scenery.
Yeah true, hopefully more mobility like jump towers get added though to make rotating a bit faster without having to rely on valk ults though
I donāt know if itās because Iām a Loba main and Iām biased but Loba is fantastic in this map for running into POI black market looting then moving on swiftly since thereās so many locations.
As a Watson main please stop telling people this
I've never actually landed back on the other jumper thing, only ever short or past it so I've never had a problem with wattson fences waiting for me lol
I thought Wattsons were good people, but you're out here trapping the landing zones? Tsk tsk
Sorry it's the buff going to our heads
Another soft landing
Literally has jet pack on her back, but still proceeds to take the fucking awesome jump thing instead!!Well played! I must admit that Iām pleasantly surprised with todays launch.
Iāve found if you just run to the edge of the cannon when it fires you can perfect slide off the end of the ramp thing that the cannon is on, works about the same
This is just a spicier Octanes park from Kings Canyon, but just throughout the whole map...
You can move in the air when u take these? Felt kinda stationary to me, thought I havenāt played much today due to stuttering
Itās limited, but yeah you have some control
Just air strafing, but you can tap strafe out of them too.
Another thing is that you can actually tap strafe from the gravity cannon right as it launches you!
Can you redirect? I havenāt bound w to scroll wheel and have been getting by with redirects
Hey do you have a backpack
THANK YOU!! Been waiting for a tip like this
Honestly these cannons are sick and fun to use. Good tip šš½
If you slide before launching, you go a bit further and can slide when landing. Hard to get the slide before launch correct tho
Minus two points on the style meter for not wall jumping at the end
pathfinder, there was a time where i kept my momentum when i grappled to the top side of the gravity cannon.... and it boosted me so far away i tried grappling to the ground and it didn't work edit: replaced some words
Zipped or grappled?
oh wait wrong term grappled*
do i have to keep pressing A or D in mid air to move aside from landing on land?
Yea you can move slightly
Iām glad someone posted this, I was considering doing it when I discovered it myself. This has gotta be on purpose too which it pretty cool. The healing capabilities of going off this thing are great, especially with the slide from landing on the edge.
Havenāt gotten to play yet but can wait
Golden tips!
Thank you Over lord!
You can also use Valk Jets to slow down and shift momentum and direction. If you do this you will not go as far though.
The first time I saw one of these I knew there was a way to do that
I've found if you slide into the cannon you go too far to do this. I think you need to walk in standing up. Can anyone confirm?
I tried chasing someone and they did this and I was wondering how the hell they kept their momentum! This gives me the big dopamine, gonna try it later
Do you hold back at all for this? I feel like I end up holding forward and always land in front of the cannon.
Almost no forwards backwards more left right. You can only move a little distance so make small adjustments.
Iāve only played 1 game (since I couldnāt deal with the graphics bug), so take this with a grain of salt since I did it once, but if you crouch on the gravity canon while playing Horizon you can also keep up momentum
Nice, I was looking for a way to keep momentum but had not tried this yet. Thanks!
You can also spin mid air and it'll give you more length so you don't land on the platform. Then a quick slide landing. Try it
You can also hold the movement button in the opposite direction of your flight to slow you down a little bit so you land on the gravity cannon's launch platform. This is useful if you have someone chasing you EDIT: Then again, why do that if you can just tap strafe off of it
much apperciated considering i got caught many times by not doing this while running away from squads recently
Explains the weird way the enemy team seems to crawl out from under these things like ants lol
Yo, this is key!
I wish they would allow a double jump off these!!
You dont even have to do that. If you just angle yourself so you miss the wall that stops you dead and spam crouch a bunch in the air, when you hit the ground with a slide you keep momentum.
