Apex Legends, the hit battle royale game, seems to have taken an unexpected turn and dove headfirst into the action-packed world of Ghostrunner, according to a recent player ‘FrostySJK’ who’s recently returned to the game. An intriguing angle by itself, the situation is only more compelling given that it involves the Buster Sword – a game dynamic viewed as broken and responsible for unearned high-kill games.

Community Feedback

  • ‘The-Drifter5589’ goes a step further and not only agrees with the main sentiment but hints at the Buster Sword being an echo of another game, ‘Titanfall 2’
  • ‘XenoDrobot’ humorously draws attention to the powerful combination of Rev and the Buster Sword, implying it could be regarded as a violation of the Geneva Convention
  • ‘Fudgiebrown’ and ‘t6677833’ express their disbelief and eagerness for the game to return to its original state, noting the Buster Sword as a confusing addition

Takeover Controversy

While the hoo-ha about the Buster Sword undeniably steals the limelight, it’s worth digging into another common opinion: the takeover events. Many players, like ‘Sun-Taken-By-Trees’, want Respawn – the creators of Apex Legends – to keep the Limited-Time Modes (LTMs) separate from the standard game, listing infinite dashing swords and auto aim Nessies as features that are ruining their gaming experience.

Impact on Player Engagement

Paramount, however, to the game, its dynamics, and its future, is how the players feel about these changes. Unsurprisingly, a portion of the player base, ‘Amemnon727’ and ‘Sacar_’, have paused their gaming until the takeover events are over, dissatisfied with the changes. ‘Stock-Reporter-7824’ further echoes this sentiment, showcasing that the game changes have deterred players who were drawn to the original Apex Legends’ gameplay.

A Light at the End of the Tunnel?

Amidst this storm of discontent, however, there are those who shrug at the uproar with a simple ‘It’s a limited time event.’ We tip our hats to you, ‘Dizzy_Chapter3085’, for reminding us this is a temporary event, and hopefully, its end will herald a return of the Apex Legends we all know and love.

The Apex Legends community is awash with opinions on the game’s temporary transformation, and it’s clear the Buster Sword and takeover events are the topics de jour. But hey, the game’s dynamicity keeps things interesting. For better or worse, these seemingly controversial events do spice things up a bit. And who knows? Maybe we’ll soon be flying dragon mounts in the arena (wink, nudge).
