The guns feel terrible, bullets travel so slow

[Laketa]

Ive never seen guns feel as bad as the ones in this game, they feel so sluggish, like im shooting with paint ball guns, ive had multiple fights where me and the opponent would kill each other because the bullets travel so slow, ive had an instance where i would kill a strider but he would manage to hit me at the same time because he was faster than my bullets, does anyone feel the same way as i do, or am i the only one?

Yes bullet velocity feels terribly slow

[bladeer01]

try the last battlefield :) it's way worse

This is actually done on purpose. Some weapons are hitscan, some are mostly hitscan and other are not at all. I especially agree with the manticore and the scrapper. Thoses are very close quarter weapons. At more than 15-20m, you can just sidestep the projectiles and avoid something like 80% of the damages. On the contrary thoses weapons tend to shred a player in seconds if you manage to get in a 10m range. If you are bothered by bullet travel time, stick to the AR-55, bolt-action, trench-gun or bulldog, or the vector-like submachinegun until you get your hands on blue weapons, or use the effect of surprise to get in short range of a player with a scrapper or manticore

My guess is, you've never played Apex Legends.

I am Master ranked in Apex and I can confirm Apex projectile speed is much worse then this game. Also it is intended so you wont get lasered by a long range attack, you probably still can react and survive. The worse part in this game is if you manage to fill your loot to max in your backpack your running speed is reduced and you are a sitting duck, probably have high chance of dying when getting ambush.

Diamond Apex Player here, and sorry but you are totally wrong, I mean you just said absolute ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, same as Noobmaster.
Velocity in Apex Legends is not just much better, it has the perfect balance as most BRs have.
Imagine shooting from r-301 from 30m distance - lol it's almost a hitscan(as it should be), while shooting from Manticore the same distance you literally wait for a bullet to land and if the target moves... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lol, you gotta take your aim like meters away on the direction of movement to lead the shots, even when you are really close.
And this aspect doesn't change a lot while you progress, because if manticore has 24000 velocity (lowest in game, it's not a speed of a bullet, it's an arrows), longshot purple dmr has 45000, which is still pretty low if you use more than 2x scope.

I guess you right. It feel slower because of the bullet drop, I like to use weapon with heavy ammo thats why I feel its more slower. But in this game I have no problem with Manticore. But I strongly believe that its not your bullet projectile speed is slow, this game suffers from not syncing properly. Sometimes damage register slower or not syncing properly like a guy shoot a shotgun round twice but you only heard he shoot once. I once shot a guy and he shoot me back but he die first 1 sec later i died magically from his shots.

It's just another, one of many other issues of this game - desyncs, weird netcode, and etc. Bulletdrop is the thing in Apex because there are huge distances that you can spot and shoot the enemy, not comparable with Cycle.
Compare average distance of engagements in Apex and recall how the battles happen - most of the time it's a hitscan game, where you live by movement and extra high TTK, but not velocity. (Even nerfed to the ground velocity of the Longbow is still better than any DMR from Cycle)
You can test it if it's not obvious to you.

That's the reason i quit this game , can't stand of stupidity where we are in future but all firearms slower then a f**king snowball throw f that i out of this s**t

Yep, this is part of the reason i left the game and it does have a big part on this game feeling cheap. Forum nerds will say otherwise tho, same as reddit they'll defend that this is actually good for the game even tho playerbase sits at 3k nowadays.

This + the fact that you need 10 hits to kill someone with an ADVOCATE makes combat, aka the core fun factor of the game, feel like ♥♥♥♥
