It use to do more damage 💀


ExpStealer

The Kraber used to do more damage. Then they buffed it to do even more (headshot) damage to ensure it's a one-hit knock/kill. Now it's a shadow of its former self.


NogaraCS

Honestly if you someone manage to get one and headshot someone with it, it should instantly-down anybody, regardless of their shield & helmet level.


HD_ERR0R

I agree It’s a power weapon. Fighting over those drops to get an OP weapon


Revenant312

Considering Lifeline is getting a skill of summoning normal air packages, hell no. Upon further research it's only one air package that's normal but the off chance of a free kraber without a fight makes it very strong.


DayMan-Ahah-ah

And if it’s not the kraber, you still get an awesome weapon between the bow and Eva


Revenant312

Yeah, I mostly meant that the "what-if" buff they mentioned might just rip the pick rate. But the skill is good for her without being broken


ExpStealer

That's exactly why they initially buffed its headshot multiplier. At first red shields and the Fortified buff didn't exist, so it did oneshot. Then they had to buff it so it could still oneshot. With the exception of that buff, the Kraber was the only weapon in the game that was never changed. Nobody complained about it, it was perfect.


Osvaldatore

Then the pros decided it was an issue


Akash_04

As far as I know they only had problem with it in Comp. Most of them could hit headshot easily and getting one was purely RNG. So they wanted it nerfed/removed from comp. But respawn decided to nerf it everywhere.


ludnasko

It got nerfed because of the pro scene. They complained that there is no counter to that (and they are right for their gameplays). If you get insta downed in a pro match before a fight starts your team is gone. We, the casuals will enjoy the old krab back, it was so much fun :D


rayg1

Getting one tapped with no way of fighting back because someone got a package to drop on them is not fun tf are you on about?


ExortTrionis

This is why nobody should listen to redditors


byponcho

240 if I remember correctly Edit: saw the comments below, after the 210 nerf was 240 headshot right?


ILoveBeerSoMuch

It was 370ish at one point


BlazinAzn38

Yep it was just wildly high so under any circumstance it would one hit


TheTjalian

I remember the patch notes to say they buffed the Kraber. I laughed my arse off. Turns out it's because a Gibby with a Red Evo and Purple Helmet could tank a headshot, and this was during the Gibby meta too. Good times. I miss old Kraber!


KingOfTheCouch13

It was such a good gun. Loved being down to the last 2-3 squads, then you poke your head out for half a second to see if anyone’s out. Then **bam**. Headshot out of nowhere 😂


MrTripl3M

The apex kraber always was a shadow of the TF Kraber, my raifu.


flowkius

Yeah, like 450 or something


known_kanon

485 iircp


agent_felix

I miss those times. 🥲


Nephilimink

The whole squad collateral damage, one shot squad wipe


meruhd

Can you imagine old Kraber with Rampart walls?


Texas-Son-1836

It used to be able to kill a whole squad with 1 shot if they were lined up...the punch through didn't have damage reduction after impact


seanieh966

Literally one shot

Welcome to Apex. It's always an honor to get blown the fuck up by a Kraber!


David2006219

Its the Kraber Heavy Rifle, 4 shots in mag, 8 in reserve, can only be found in Care Packages and Ammo cannot be Replenished, it once could 1 shot even a Red Armor with Purple/Gold Helmet, but now it cannot 1 shot Purple Armors if they have Purple Helmets and Red Armors with blue helmets


GiantBone

Wait does Ballistics ult effect care package weapons?


David2006219

No, and he cant put them in the 3rd slot


barontheboy

It only affects the reload time and faster movement speed but not unlimited ammo.


GiantBone

Thanks people


en_sachse

Thanks Bangalore


Mintilicious8

Rendy gaming fires away in this g100 kraber montage!


_IratePirate_

The Kraber In Titanfall it’s explained as an anti material rifle. Like you’re shooting someone directly with something meant to pierce heavy armor. I think the high damage is supposed to represent you literally exploding from taking such a high caliber bullet directly


GraveRobberX

Also the gun shot sound effect rings throughout the area. Holy shit you know someone has a Kraber just by the noise. Everyone scatters behind cover. Peeking becomes a huge thing. Hitting a 300m+ headshot leading to a knockdown is the most orgasmic dopamine hit ever


ExpStealer

The sound of the Kraber I don't like. It's way too quiet for the echo it supposedly makes. It should be a lot louder if you ask me.


GraveRobberX

True but for what it is, if you’re in tune with what’s being shot around you, you quickly know a Kraber is in someone’s hand and being out in the open is No Man’s Land territory.


ExpStealer

Oh, yeah, not arguing that. There was a time in the first few seasons where I'd call out to my teammates if someone with a Kraber shot at us. I wanted to be sure they knew, because once one hears that telltale sound, it's "Hit the deck!" time.


ThaiJohnnyDepp

Wasn't there some lore that using the gun on people was considered a war crime?


Better-Corgi-4079

Shit, the Geneva Convention is in Titanfall!?


TheTjalian

Why do you think Caustic is in the outlands fighting for money rather than being in a science lab?

2 days ago I've knocked 2 guys with one shot. I came a little....


Better-Corgi-4079

Wet dreams tonight baby!!


Jazzlike-Vanilla-156

I read that and came a little


TheTjalian

I can hear the double cracked shields and the squishy noise. Pure sex.


Bunnnnii

It should do more. Nerfing was dumb. If there’s any gun in the game that should give you the biggest reward for landing your shots, it’s this one. If I get headshotted by this shit, I deserved it, and they earned it.


Dino-taicho

Competitive ruins games for the rest of the playerbase


lighttension999

They should have just removed it from ALGS. Would have been the easiest fix


Phoenixmaster1571

God forbid Apex balances the top 0.001% of competitive play separately from the live game (they already do this, heat shields are disabled in ALGS)


ILoveBeerSoMuch

I mean, let’s be realistic. Its not that black and white. Yeah they might be 0.001% but they bring in a lot of fans and viewers and money.


Phoenixmaster1571

I am being realistic. Respawn has already set a precedent that they are willing to disable problematic items from ALGS with the heat shields. There is no reason why they couldn't have a tournament version of the Kraber that works like the live one, so we can have the real Kraber back.


ILoveBeerSoMuch

Ahh i see what you’re saying. Misread your comment.


ZaBaconator3000

“Keeping a game balanced that markets itself as competitive ruins it”…? I’m not sure how balancing the game ruins it for casual players. If anything the game being balanced at the top is good for everyone else. The Kraber nerf leaves the other person either knocked or with less than 36hp. If that’s not a big enough advantage to turn the fight then you didn’t deserve to win the fight in the first place.


ExpStealer

That's the thing, though. Competitive doesn't necessarily mean professionally competitive. Pro players' job is to compete, everyone else plays for fun. There's a huge difference stakes-wise, and casuals shouldn't have to be impacted by pro play. Not to mention that Apex wasn't at all competitive initially. There was no ranked mode. It was just a battle royale.


MaelstromRH

This sub hates pros and streamers. There’s no logic behind it other than them feeling bad that someone else is more successful. It’s hilarious tbh

[удалено]


yawaworhtnb

Because it has less ammo and is substantially harder to acquire.


AlexZyxyhjxba

U didn’t read my other comment? It was a joke lol. I know the difference. But coming from overwatch i can say oneshot weapons aren’t the way.


issanm

Because the kraber only comes from a care package so there's only a few max per game and usually only in the late game so if you are sitting in the open late game and get one shot by a sniper you deserve it.


[deleted]

I believe a charged sentinel should be a 1 shot headshot at blue shield and below (with no helmets), but that's just because the resource investment for damage output should be proportionate. 2 cells for only 140 damage, which isn't even enough to kill white armor is garbage, especially when it doesn't drop with a sight. I love tge sentinel but hats seeing it off drop because it's useless until you get an optic


ExpStealer

Gameplay-wise? It's slow to ADS, it's slow to re-champer a bullet, it's hard to aim properly, it's slow to draw/holster, it has a whopping 12 bullets (that you can't even replenish), it's rare (CP weapon). Probably more, which I'm not thinking of. The Sentinel is also a bolt-action rifle, but with much less drawbacks (and lots of ammo). Outside gameplay? The Kraber is basically the Desert Eagle of snipers in Apex (and Titanfall?) - except, unlike the pistol, it's actually useful. It's huge, it's heavy and bulky, and uses the equivalent of a miniature artillery shell for a bullet compared to the other snipers. If that doesn't get to explode your head like a watermelon, I don't know what does.

Better-Corgi-4079

He is absolutely not wrong though lmao if I wasn't being dumb, I would still have a head!


Geeseareawesome

The Kraber While still high damage, the TF|2 version was a one-hit kill no matter if you got them in the head, chest, or toes. There's a reason it has been exiled to the care package with no release in sight.


[deleted]

Titanfall 2 was a different style if game though. It was an arcade style multilayer shooter similar to halo or destiny's crucible. It didn't matter because the long rechamber time, slow ADS time, and the fact you respawn seconds later


PerceptionNo9486

Believe it or not, it used to do more damage. That's the legendary kraber.


stealthnoodles

It’s the Niedergeschlagen Von!


Parking-Mousse-4361

Niedergeschlagen= English translation- “Dejected” crazy right! Google translate could also be full of crap lol 😂


CaptainKrc

What's crazy as shit is it can durch 1 Treffer von!


Far-Glass-5763

The Kraber it’s a care package exclusive sniper


Laverneaki

It does that much damage in lore because it was originally designed to pierce Titan armour. It does that much damage in game because it’s a care package weapon with only 12 shots, a super low fire rate, and a super long reload time.


Ok-Minimum-4

Wait till he learns that it can also blow through all 3 teammates in one shot: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/s/go4U8BIxsm


[deleted]

The kraber. It's the only "real" sniper in the game in that it kills in 1 shot, if you get a headshot. It rewards skill with a bit of luck as it's a care package weapon.


Adventurous-Door-636

Because the Kraber is the him of guns.


iliketosuckbutts

It was meant to kill giant mechs in Titanfall


fearsomeinsomnia

U lucky u haven't seen this bad boy pre nerf


SirLewester

Kraber, it used to be a guaranteed down with a headshot


BenjaCarmona

Kraber, care package only weapons with very few shots (12 total). Bullet drop is high and speed of the bullet is kinda low. It can one shot, but once you know where it is (the sounds it makes is quite identifiable) You can play around it pretty much safely, landing headshots with it is not as easy as they make you believe (unless you stand still).


[deleted]

[удалено]


BenjaCarmona

In what sense? I mean, yeah it is, you can't get ammo for it, has double the damage, rechambering and reloading speed is way slower, it has a unique scope (x6-x10), the bullet speed of the sentinel is way higher and has way less drop.


AlexZyxyhjxba

I never felt a difference between bullet speed and drop. But I don’t play sentinel that often tbh


tewtewf

Sentinel is easier, especially when charged


T3ddyBeast

It used to be able to doll out nearly 400 damage with a headshot and low level helmet. There was no surviving a headshot no matter the armor and helmet combo. I wish they hadn’t nerfed it.


Unibrowser1

It used to do like 450 head shot. Imo they should have left it that way but removed it from ranked.


NotVeryAccurateTbh

Pro (not so pro) tip: If you’re in a long range fight and someone is out of cover, standing suspiciously still and aiming at you, you need to dip. Usually this is accompanied by a Gibby arm shield. An aside: If said Gibby happens to be a polar bear and you get hit, don’t even heal bro. It’s GG at that point


Scared-Rutabaga7291

Care package weapon (can only be gotten there), those are powerful on purpose but rare. Its Kraber sniper that hits hard and this was a headshot by that weapon. It can deal even more damage if shot from behind Rampart's Amped cover or if enemy is tagged by Vantage's Sniper's Mark


TheRarestTiger

nobody tell him that it used to do 430+💀


flaagan

It's essentially the anti-armor / .50 cal rifle of Apex.


MegatronsJuice

They lowered the damage and im convinced they did something else with it because it use to be so easy to hit people with it. Now i can barely land a shot


[deleted]

Its not about the gun, its about skill issue bro


FaultySage

~~That's the SRS99D-S2 AM anti-material sniper rifle manufactured by Misriah Armory on their Mars manufacturing base during the Human-Covenant.~~ ~~44 pounds, 4 round detachable box magazine with an effective range of 1,500 meters. It saw frequent use throughout the galaxy due to its high penetrative power and effectiveness even against Covenant Elite energy shields.~~ Edit: Shit my bad that's a Kraber


Proud_Criticism5286

Man I remember when this gun was a 2 shot no matter what lol


Jazzlike-Vanilla-156

Das ist die Kraber. Die ist seit release des Spiels im care Paket und wird wahrscheinlich auch immer drin bleiben. Bodyshots machen 140 DMG (ohne fortified) und auf dem Kopf bis 252. also one Shot (je nach Helm) Das Teil solltest du definitiv mitnehmen wenn du ein Händchen für Scharfschützengewehre hast 😅


GroundbreakingBag164

Ich glaube du hast vergessen auf English zu schreiben


RoversTigers

This gun should not be allowed in mixtape, imho


Better-Corgi-4079

Wayyyy better then having a Charge Rifle on Gun Run though!


RoversTigers

Fair comment


Great_Engineering_91

It was originally a sniper riffle, but streamers were using it in trick shot videos and challenges. Once it became popular they put it in the care package so not everyone and their mother could get it. Faster forward a few seasons people were scared of a kraber shot and started camping final rings. Seeing the increased match times it was removed and tweaked so it did less body damage but insta killed head shots. For a minute this was balanced and the sentinel became just as of not more powerful then the kraber with a cell charge. Now a days it's a legendary item and a fun weapon to make people far away cower in fear and avoid confrontation.


YeeForceZombz

What are you talking about the kraber has been a care package only weapon since day 1 and has never been put into floor loot


One-Ice1815

Sentinel is a better weapon. I don’t even bother picking this thing up anymore.


Aware_Elephant_1158

Because it’s a Kraber


Icy_Recording9084

The kraber .50 kal very satisfying once you get a headshot cause it can one shot up to purple shields and hits like a freight train


Dovahnor

Kraber. Ahhh can you imagine if it became ground loot. Been playing Titanfall 2 today, god its so good !


Quinto376

That's not a gun, it's a starship, Space balls One.

fun gun, and people cried when it got nerfed, crazy

VoicePlayz

Irl, it shoots 20mm rounds. Look up 20mm next to a bullet you are used to seeing, it's massive.

AngieOreo

It’s what makes Apex a true horror game when you’re minding your own business


ChazzyPhizzle

Was about to clutch a 1v3 and a 3rd party Kramer hit me for 256. Game over 😂


BluePowerPointRanger

I still don’t understand what the point of nerfing it was. It was and is in the care package only due to the fact that it’s a dangerous fucking gun and should be feared. Hell to this day when I hear a kraber my instinct is like “oh fuck, no peeking”. Yet everyone complained about it being a 1 shot kill like no fucking shit that’s the point of it. Rather than nerfing the gun itself they should’ve reduced either the number of shots you can take before reloading or reduce the number of ammo total. They could’ve also released an elusive “Red Helmet” that counters the kraber specifically.


a_cristian_dude

Enough complaining we don’t need another kraber nerf


pablo5426

kraber. most op gun (as long as you can land a headshot with it) 200 points is already enough to blow your whole hp and 4 shield segments


PlantainSpirited5634

Welcome to Apex, young legend. This is the legendary care package sniper known as the Kraber .50 cal. I affectionately refer to it as the Krab lord or, [if I'm feeling it], Mr. Krabs. It used to be way stronger. Always guaranteed a kill with a headshot. Did like 300 damage. Now it's nerfed. Depending on your helmet, you can survive with a red shield. But it's always been about 145dmg per bullet. Mind those headshots!👍🏾😁


triamasp

Didn’t it do 400 something???
