ARC STARS GOT NERFED!! (Apex Legends) 

this video is just kandy convincing himself that arcs weren't actually nerfed, and boom emphatically going "YES EXACTLY" and i love it

9:15 “roof roof and I’m not barking”💀

Me: gets stuck by enemy Me: o fck I’m ded Survives Me: all righty then

The disruptor damage of arc stars still broke red shields at 3x damage, but having 4x now should mean the edge of the explosion radius does more damage, right? While you don't get slowed as much, the damage to shields got buffed so this seems more like a rebalance to me than a nerf

Can’t believe frags don’t get more attention already. a well timed skynade has no indicator so no chance to escape, and they blast you 15 ft to the side

Arc stars get nerfed.... Kandy: LETS KILL EVERYONE WITH THEMMMM

I really don't like Boom's mentality on this with the whole "So much counterplay!" bit. Getting stuck with an arc isn't MEANT to have counterplay, getting stuck is the reward for the other player's accuracy and prediction. It's like saying "There's no counterplay to getting shot in the head with a Kraber!" like yeah, that's the fucking point. People love to only look at the visible benefits when trying to claim that stuff is OP or no counterplay or whatever the narrative is at the time, but the reality is to stick someone with an arc is a LOT of downtime that you just don't have a gun out to defend yourself, and in that time a good player can definitely beam the hell out of you for more than that arc will do now, so especially now for stick damage to get nerfed and make that downtime less rewarding, it's absolutely a fat nerf. The impact of the nerf will obviously be different across different ranks where sticks are less common and where 1 second isn't life or death like at high ranks, but some implication that arcs are these no-risk-all-reward things that need to be brought down is just plain false.

I agree with Boom. The double stun on arkstars is super strong. With only one stun in its previous state was able to get counter played but the damage was high to compensate for that

It's a good balance change IMO, not really a nerf because the moment they get stuck, they're usually vulnerable due to the immediate stun, if you do 30 flesh damage, they're dead, unless they're gibby or caustic it's just that people always relied on the damage it does and not really the stun effect they just rounded out its abilities so it doesn't excel too much on one side or another season 0, arc cracked all shields even though you're far from it, you can stick it to your teammate or to a drone, people used to send a pathfinder as a suicide bomber i'm just glad the immediate stun is back, because that's what i used it for before instead of relying on the damage

Time when the arc stars was op me missing every throw I throw arc star at the enemie When they got nerfed I begin to understand angles and this stuff now I am good at throwing them at the enemies BUT they

Next nerf be like: "Similar to cooking grenades, now you can throw the arkstar up and ark yourself, running around like a headless chicken! 🐔"

You know what gets me about this video. It is about ark stars, and nobody played fuse.

It's been about three month no Apex, been busy but it's good to see your content is always gold.

From what I got was that respawn didn't really nerf the arc but more so punished and rewarded it. Getting a double stun for sticking is the rewarding factor while missing a stick would be the punishment depending on how far the enemy is from the arc. Even though a stick on no shields only does 80, that's not really a problem because it takes 2 bullets to down them while they're double stunned.

7:20 when the havoc gets car gun fire audio.

I know they sorted the charge up of Sentinel and Rampage, but they've nerfed it too. Takes 5 seconds to apply, but now an extra 2 seconds to actually work. Animation has stopped but if I start running or jumping within 2 seconds after that animation, it doesn't apply to the gun... that never used to happen...

I'm just complaining but I don't like the fact that if I stick with an ark when you have no shields that you don't get instantly knocked but that's probably because I can't stick ark stars to save my life.

Luv ur Content Kandy

So many head shots thats crazy good dame

The main difference now is that the arc won’t be enough to make you one-shot all by itself. The grenade just did everything. I feel like the change is more to give it a unique identity than to make it weaker.

3:45 "Can you stick me one more time? Naked?" -Boom 2021

@0:13: Master would not approve of your Rampage-do, lol!

Boom: "Roof! Roof!.... and I'm not barking. Legend!

This rampage bug made me think, at which point do people draw the line on advantageous bugs?

Ah yes 13 views but 17 comments

Made a video about Arc stars and didn't use Fuse to double stack them?

Still not sure how I feel about the Arc Stars. I really do think they needed a nerf, I’m just not sure if it was too much.

whats that song at 13:45 that kandy always puts in his videos

the panic is hilarious

When I use arc stars it’s usually after a knuckle cluster or motherload lol

Anybody noticing the kandy comeback and getting hyped?

why not doing the tests as fuse? :x he can hold more nades

😭 “roof roof. And I’m not barking”

Why didn't you pick Fuse?

Covers an arc star buff/nerf and doesn’t play fuse out of the gate

U should try where u don’t use a thermite grenade

20:08 Kandy & Boom out of context

I think it's just nerfed dmg wise against flesh. Like a stick isn't a guaranteed knock now.

It's a great nerf. I think one of the main reasons was so that surrounding teammates wouldn't get slowed the same amount as your teammate if they got stuck.

If a enemy has a better shield like red the arc star will do more damage said in the patch notes the multiplier ( Correct me if i am wrong )

Candy, never stop being rew.

Must be nice being able to ping stuff in a deathbox

amount of arc stars stuck to an enemy: 4 amount of people killed by the arc star they got stuck with: 0 kinda proved the nerf, now you *have* to follow up on one if you want a knock

Should have played fuse for arc

You can't use rampage bug in unranked or rank mode

honestly tho, that path got stuck twice and didn't die, thats gotta be a nerf -- getting stuck with an arc star was always a death sentence

"Get a hold of your son."

I stuck a fuse yesterday and it hit him for44 sad times

shoulda tried them w horizon

You know what will never be nerfed muscles!!!

6:37 That arc did 122 damage lol

I've noticed a lot of streamers don't pick up better helmets when they have the opportunity to. Why is that? Why did he pass up the yellow helmet?

Arc stas are still the same but in damage wise it kinda did but not much

Why do people complain about arc stars when you get thermite spam and skynade's in every game? i don't pick up arc stars because i can never stick anyone, that's why i just pick up frags and thermites because they're extremely easy to land

The Arc Stars didn't deserved that nerf

Ppl getting angry on how strong the rampage is Respawn : *buffs*

Arc Stars are still hella strong, if anything frags are just gonna be slept on a whole lot less

Ive seen Shiv getting mad over this bc some one did the same thing with the Rampage or they've might've been hackers XD who knows?

Rampage already fixed now

damage for a stick went gown significantly.

Honestly this is an actual good balance in my opinion

I don't view it as a nerf, I view it as a change or balancing attempt.

Are we going to ignore the Octane and Valk that did 0 damage at 17:09

These are the reasons I've been dieing alot more in this game 🎯

Where are the patch notes?

Song? 13:22

Well this is going to be fun😂👍

Hey kandy

Sticky bombs. Anyone remember dirty bomb

6:44 190-312dmg woah

Now arc stars stick for 10 damage

everyone is talking about arc stars are we going to ignore the fact he dodged the mastiff shot from valk

So fuse indirectly get nerf

They got buffed

9:17 “who the fuck is this” Welcome to apex home of the 3rd party

sticking the same person twice with an arcstar should kill them imo. idk how that path was alive

I'm still hitting 100s on shields so I honestly don't care about the nerf.

I don’t think arks should slow someone down on impact.

Hi Kandy! Remember me I was in your chat my name is ace4762 do you remember?

Sticks should down a player unless they have red shield or something.

It deserved it Too versatile and made other nades less useful

maybe for pc. i was in a master/pred lobby on console last night and a whole squad had continuously charged rampages! i watched these fools just abuse that shit til the end!

Meanwhile xbox n ps cant switch
