A recent post on Apex Legends created a buzz in the gaming community, inviting players to share their favorite weapon combinations in the game. Contrary to discussions focused on meta or winning combos, this thread brought forward more personal player preferences, often rooted in comfort and enjoyment. Simply put, the question asked was – which weapons do you have the most fun with?
Community Insights
- Players care about personal comfort and enjoyment, not just winning
- Some weapons, despite being considered non-meta, have a dedicated fan base
- Many top picks indicated a balance between a shorter and a longer-ranged weapon
- Personal playstyle significantly influences weapon choices
Peek into Player Preferences
User ‘Repeat-Admirable’ held firm with 30-30 and R-99, despite it not leading to wins lately. It seems like personal comfort triumphs over following the meta. ‘ImARoadcone_’ walked a similar path, her tongue-in-cheek comment read, ‘F••• your meta,’ hinting at players’ desire for unique gameplay experiences over meta-ruled monotony.
Fan-favorite Weapons
A surprising constant across several comments was the recurring mention of the R-99. Whether paired with longbow or Wingman, like Professional-Sink770, or with 30-30 or Scout like HotDamn18V, the R-99 seemed to be a crowd-favorite providing apt closeness for combat. The love for this SMG truly transcends the boundaries of meta.
Comfort over Victory
David2006219’s choice was driven by the nature of the match. His casual, pub matches saw him picking a Sentinel and a shotgun while ultimately falling upon a Sentinel / alternator combo in Ranked games. Similarly, AvatarSozin, a dedicated Rampart main, vouched for the Spitfire + G7 combo, which reminded us all that no matter the game, it all boils down to the character enhancing the gaming experience.
As we delve deeper into the choices, it becomes evident that the fascinating world of Apex Legends goes beyond the top picks and meta combos. From the beloved R-99 to the ever-versatile Flatline with R-99, as pointed out by VasenZero, it’s clear game enjoyment is not always tied to getting the ultimate ‘Champion’ title. It’s how we as players adapt to a game, make it our own, and ultimately, how we have a blast playing it – with our favorite weapon hand-in-hand.
