Apex Legends<\/strong><\/em> Season 8 has been out for less than a week but players are already discovering the new meta that came with the tweaks and changes included in the Season 8 update. Along with gameplay tweaks and character changes, the Apex Legends<\/em> Season 8 patch notes<\/a> detailed the new fully-kitted weapons for Season 8.<\/p>\n

The fully-kitted weapons in each season are meant to offer a big advantage to players who grab them, as they come fully equipped with all the\u00a0best attachments. However, one Apex Legends<\/em><\/a> content creator going by the name Zeus has called out the golden Longbow’s 4x-10x sniper scope, claiming it ruins the fully-kitted sniper.<\/p>\n

When one thinks of a sniper, a long-range weapon with powerful shots and a slower rate of fire probably comes to mind first. While Apex Legends<\/em>‘ Longbow fits that description fairly well, the Longbow boasts a decently fast rate of fire, with slightly less power behind each shot compared to snipers like the Sentinel or Triple Take. As such, players usually don’t use the Longbow solely as a sniper rifle<\/a>, instead opting to use it as a powerful semi-auto rifle. This is where the problem with the golden Longbow in Season 8 comes in.<\/p>\n

Fully-kitted weapons cannot have their pre-equipped weapon attachments switched out, meaning the golden Longbow is locked into having a 4x-10x scope attached to it. As such, if players want to get close to their opponents in a fight with a golden Longbow, the gun is extremely hard to be accurate with. The Longbow itself places well in Apex Legends<\/em> weapon tier lists<\/a>, usually hovering around the mid-to-high tiers, but it’s hard to disagree that the 4x-10x scope limits the Longbows inherent capabilities in the Apex Legends<\/em> meta. While the 4x-10x digital threat scope does have the added appeal of highlighting enemies when aiming down the scope, it’s debatable whether or not the trade-off of limiting the Longbows potential is worth it.<\/p>\n
