In the highly competitive universe of Apex Legends, players often find themselves verging on extreme frustration as they chase the elusive 3k badge (a badge awarded for dealing 3000 damage in a single game), a paradigmatic struggle epitomized by user mbndees’ candid admission: “I am going to lose it, and no, I do not have a 3k yet”.
The Grind for Glory
- Players empathize with the struggle, recounting their close calls and shared disappointments.
- Some users offer words of encouragement and hopefulness for eventual success.
- Others expose systemic barriers that prevent players from achieving the badge in certain game modes.
Shared Frustrations
Players took turns sharing their tales of woe. “One time I almost had the triple triple badge. My friend stole the last kill I needed it for it… So close.” lamented JustCallMeALal, echoing the sentiment of the original post author, mbndees.
Glimmers of Hope
Despite the venting and frustration, the subreddit also provided a comforting place for those nearly there. ”Oh I feel this, I have multiple 2900ish games on the bamboozler. Just can’t crack 3k.” shared forgot_the_Bop, indicative of close and frequent brushes with victory.
The Inherent Barriers
Perhaps most interestingly, some players pointed out systemic barriers that prevent players from earning badges in certain game modes. Electronic_Dingo_434 notable informed, “Unless this was duo’s or ranked you wouldn’t have gotten the 3k badge anyway…You can not get badges during LTM take overs. (2K,3K,4K or 20 bomb)” folks at Respawn, are you listening?
Earning the 3k badge in Apex Legends involves a fair share of skill, persistence, and in many cases, a bit of fortune. While this thread revealed a shared frustration, it also showed an earnest support network among players, along with implicit calls for game improvements. The chase for the 3k badge continues, and the hope and frustration with it. Keep grinding, legends!
