Apex Legends players frustrated with “stupid” Buster Sword in Final Fantasy Takeover
RespawnApex Legends will let players use Cloud’s Buster Sword.
Some Apex Legends fans are fed up with playing against the “broken” Buster Sword weapon present in the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Takeover event.
Apex Legends’ Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth event features a Takeover event that replaces the normal Trios mode with a modified version of the game mode.
In this Takeover mode, players can equip different Materia Hop-Ups and find the Legendary Buster Sword around the map, which gives fans crazy options in combat.
However, after nearly two weeks it seems many players have had their fill of the Buster Sword, with many calling the weapon “broken” in the Takeover mode.
Apex Legends fans tired of “broken” Buster Sword
A post on the Apex Legends subreddit gained traction after one player showed an absurd play from an enemy with a Buster Sword.
The OP attached a video, which showed two players in the Firing Range, with one trying to snipe a Revenant player holding a Buster Sword in the distance.
Thinking they had the advantage against the close-range weapon, the player continued taking pot shots before the Revenant player unleashed their Ult.
However, the Revenant also activated the Buster Sword’s Limit Break ability, which allowed them to spam their Dash ability and essentially fly toward the player’s location. In no time flat, the OP was finished.
Many fans were surprised at what the Revenant was able to pull off, with many calling it noting how it is unfun to play against.
“It’s stupid and not fun at all. Most of my games today have ended in someone with a sword (or a full squad with swords) appearing on me out of nowhere…”
Still, some pushed back and argued the Buster Sword is meant to be strong. “Nobody is arguing that it’s balanced. It’s supposed to be stupid and fun. Pick up the sword and do a bunch of dumb sh*t you normally wouldn’t do.”
While many of the comments were back and forth, a majority of players agreed that it would have been better if the event didn’t fully replace standard Trios.
Regardless, Apex Legends’ FFF7R takeover event is set to conclude on January 30, 2024, so those tired of seeing the Buster Sword won’t have to wait too much longer.
