I mean... I know next to nothing about programming but surely it's the game displaying it though for the viewers even if the players can't see it? It'd be lovely to have the option to toggle that overlay on and off if you wanted it.
Are you sure? I assumed it was something available to people who are listed as a spectator in a private tournament? I'm not doubting you though cause as I said I know nothing about that stuff
Idk for sure. But... watching the apac games yesterday, the overlay showed all meds, ultimate accelerants, and all nades. But how it knows and how it's different idk
It's either an overlay, or something only available using an observer account. Looking at NiceWigg who is just watching the players' own streams, they aren't seeing it.
I did think this after I posted it but my brain is shit at remembering things so I don't feel like I should be punished for you know, my hippocampus lol
Is that an officially stated reason or just post-hoc reasoning?
I don't personally see how it rewards efficient looting much since you can clear your inventory pretty quickly regardless of input.
Wdym? Itâs already created. They would just have to enable the view for the players themselves. And how do you know whatâs âworth itâ for them? lol. Happy players means they keep coming back.
I not convinced they are correct but their point is that none of this exists in the game's code, only on the Twitch broadcast scene. It's therefore *not* already created.
The money they'd have to spend? It's not like it's a new legend with unique movement. It would be a simple addition to an already existing part of the UI.
One reason I can think of as to why the devs wouldn't want to implement it, is visual clutter.
There is actually an overwolf overlay called predator by Mao-Tou Projects that shows you how many heals and grenades you have it looks very similar to the UI in that picture
No lol it's just an overwolf overlay even a bunch of pro players use overwolf mostly the TRN overlay that helps them keep track of where they are on the Pred leaderboard or just to see their current stats
As a PC player who doesn't play controller, all the people downvoting this are just coping over the fact respawn are cracking down on their legal cheats
they should also add an overlay of their socials, website, news, friend's list, bullets fired, successful headshots, bullet missed, number of revives, number of knocks, distance traveled, number of pinged enemies, number of ability used, number of steps, number of jumps and many more
...distance travelled while sliding, number of times their shields have been broken, total skins owned, time and matches played on each map, amount of times a bot has removed the 'n' word from itztimmy's streams, total time spent inspecting weapons, number of snacks shroud grabbed while streaming, total number of times their character has blinked in game, total amount of blades of grass their game has rendered...
I figure more options are better so I have no issue with them adding the overlay, but using the argument that the heal select menu is visual clutter is ironic when my first thought when I saw your screenshot was âwow that just seems like so much more visual clutter permanently on your screenâ
I mean itâs less than opening your inventory and also lets you move freely on controller (idk how inventories work on PC apart from you can move while looting a death box)
Holding the up button or right button on the d-pad while trying to move to the circle and doing the slide jump for max speed is a little much for me to do all at once. This would be nice for quick reference of my inventory.
Ranked should simply have a map in the corner and that's it, the UI is getting out of hand. There should still be ways to determine when your abilities are ready, but I think a truly competitive BR would be minimalistic.
I typed out like 3 different replys tring to figure it out and all I can think of is maybe it would make servers slower cause it now has to display everything for everyone all the time across thousands of servers, but that makes no sense since the game already does that and it truly looks like just a simple overlay that tracks your inventory. Would be neat but also inventory management is big part of the game and changing it might unbalance somethings that just got changed. But all in all I have no clue but would be neat.
I usually use "hold 4" for the item wheel and once I reach desired amount, I go with it..
Im afraid I would find this disturbing.. usually the more info I have on screen the less details I see.. kind of tunnel vision effect.
Nah I just don't like vantage, I've never met one that actually made me go "damn, I really got shit on" lowk tho vantage mains are the coolest mfs ever tho
Lmao just what I need, more burn-in from static white images on my S95BâŚ
If thereâs any solid colors playing on the screen, I can already see the health bar, shield, helmet, Fuseyâs ultimate symbol, tac symbol, syringe, and âsquads leftâ just burned into the panel forever ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Ha yeah. QD-OLEDS crush any other tv by a mile, even 10x better than the old WRGB oleds, but clearly they have burn-in issues.
Never happened on the LG CX I had before the QDs came out. Worthwhile sacrifice for the higher brightness and insanely good color though.
I think this is only for the viewers, the players dont see this
true
I mean... I know next to nothing about programming but surely it's the game displaying it though for the viewers even if the players can't see it? It'd be lovely to have the option to toggle that overlay on and off if you wanted it.
dont call me shirley
Do you speak Jive?
Have you ever seen a grown man naked?
Joey can stay here for a while if he likes? Sometimes... Sometimes... This sub actually makes me smile đ¤Ł
Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up the court for 48 minutes!
Itâs a different kind of flying⌠altogether
itâs not the game itâs the broadcasting software they use
Are you sure? I assumed it was something available to people who are listed as a spectator in a private tournament? I'm not doubting you though cause as I said I know nothing about that stuff
This data is pulled from the in-game api (only available on private lobbies afaik) and displayed using a broadcast graphics engine.
Idk for sure. But... watching the apac games yesterday, the overlay showed all meds, ultimate accelerants, and all nades. But how it knows and how it's different idk
It's either an overlay, or something only available using an observer account. Looking at NiceWigg who is just watching the players' own streams, they aren't seeing it.
I think it is intentionally not shown to reward efficient looting.
I did think this after I posted it but my brain is shit at remembering things so I don't feel like I should be punished for you know, my hippocampus lol
Making a joke? Fuck u OP
Is that an officially stated reason or just post-hoc reasoning? I don't personally see how it rewards efficient looting much since you can clear your inventory pretty quickly regardless of input.
That's absolutely just an algs spectator overlay, players do not see that in game
Itâs actually a stream overlay ⌠not the game.
I think this would add to less value for the amount of time you have to put into it
But this is already implemented,and what do you mean adding less value? This is the value?
This is a stream overlay and not an apex hud
Then they could make it a toggle. Let people choose if they want to see it.
That is not what i am saying, the and money they have to spend on it is not worth it if you already can see almost 50% of your inventory
Wdym? Itâs already created. They would just have to enable the view for the players themselves. And how do you know whatâs âworth itâ for them? lol. Happy players means they keep coming back.
Its a stream overlay, not for apex
Yeah but it's already created.
I not convinced they are correct but their point is that none of this exists in the game's code, only on the Twitch broadcast scene. It's therefore *not* already created.

What kind of money do you think they would have to spend on this?
There are Overwolf extensions that allow you to see what's in your bag, if you're on PC.
You are correct
I would settle for when you are in someone's death box and hover over an item (ammo, batts, etc.) for it to tell you how many you already have.
This! I always end up picking more than I need because I panic loot a lot.
Probably they are saving the feature for the future upgrade
Theyâre more cool, hence the cooler ui
Its just not true that its only for ALGS btw. You can see the overlay in spectator mode for every private lobby
That's what I suspected but got down voted for suggesting it. I dunno..
There is actually an overwolf overlay called predator by Mao-Tou Projects that shows you how many heals and grenades you have it looks very similar to the UI in that picture
Is it cheating
No lol it's just an overwolf overlay even a bunch of pro players use overwolf mostly the TRN overlay that helps them keep track of where they are on the Pred leaderboard or just to see their current stats
not working for me atm
PC only though I'm guessing? Seems slightly unfair
As a PC player who doesn't play controller, all the people downvoting this are just coping over the fact respawn are cracking down on their legal cheats
Cheers dude
So much clutter, but I guess some people might like it as a quality of life update. Hopefully if that ever happens I can turn it off.
I personally don't see it as clutter but it'd be cool if it was available to be able to toggle it on and off
It should literally be a togglable option so I dont have to open my wheel to check
It also doesnât work properly most of the time.
Makes sense cause it has disappeared now on the live algs lol
would be a nice edition, even if it was just a preference option in the settings
they should also add an overlay of their socials, website, news, friend's list, bullets fired, successful headshots, bullet missed, number of revives, number of knocks, distance traveled, number of pinged enemies, number of ability used, number of steps, number of jumps and many more
How about an overlay for the number of doors open, number of quips spammed, number of Nessies placed as Wattson, number of grenades thrown
...distance travelled while sliding, number of times their shields have been broken, total skins owned, time and matches played on each map, amount of times a bot has removed the 'n' word from itztimmy's streams, total time spent inspecting weapons, number of snacks shroud grabbed while streaming, total number of times their character has blinked in game, total amount of blades of grass their game has rendered...
Now now. You guys are giving em ideas for a new banner.
...isnt that just banners?
Yes but always visible so you can track your progress live.
Iâll even settle for a toggle
I mean you can just hold the button that shows all your heals Idk what it is on keyboard or if ppl jsut unbind that but on controller itâs up arrow
i think its 4 on keyboard atleast thats what i have it set to
If your mouse has a programmable side button I highly recommend binding it to that
it does and I tried it kept on clicking it when shooting
Yeah but that is visual clutter. Especially when fighting so it'd be nice to be able to just glance down to check how many shields you have left etc
I figure more options are better so I have no issue with them adding the overlay, but using the argument that the heal select menu is visual clutter is ironic when my first thought when I saw your screenshot was âwow that just seems like so much more visual clutter permanently on your screenâ
I mean itâs less than opening your inventory and also lets you move freely on controller (idk how inventories work on PC apart from you can move while looting a death box)
Holding the up button or right button on the d-pad while trying to move to the circle and doing the slide jump for max speed is a little much for me to do all at once. This would be nice for quick reference of my inventory.
No too much clutter and opening your inventory is really easy. I like to do it for a second while Iâm sliding.
Because nobody is spectating our gamesâŚ.
Mmm yes waiter more visual clutter please
Ranked should simply have a map in the corner and that's it, the UI is getting out of hand. There should still be ways to determine when your abilities are ready, but I think a truly competitive BR would be minimalistic.
this game is so far from truly competitive, the ui is the least of our concern
What makes you say that about the competitive part?
aim assist, 20 hz servers, visual clutter are the big ones
oh boy more visual clutter
Ugh. I hate the clutter. I would pref them smaller like the buff symbols by the guns. Like warlords passive ect
Because why would you want a congested screen? Anymore than whats already there, and you'll need Mucinex.
They could always make them transparent
Why we don't have permanent "play again" button? Why there's no option to toggle constant shield cells with 1 button press?
I typed out like 3 different replys tring to figure it out and all I can think of is maybe it would make servers slower cause it now has to display everything for everyone all the time across thousands of servers, but that makes no sense since the game already does that and it truly looks like just a simple overlay that tracks your inventory.

Bruh thatâs switch smh
If you canât remember how many heals you have your in bronze in game and irl
Pssst.... Check this out... People's brains all work differently.
In game AND irl đđ
I usually use "hold 4" for the item wheel and once I reach desired amount, I go with it.. Im afraid I would find this disturbing.. usually the more info I have on screen the less details I see.. kind of tunnel vision effect.
learn to memorize
If you have a second monitor there is an overlay you can get that puts a bunch of stuff on your other monitor for you this stuff included.Â
I was abt to back u up den i seen the vantage thing
Even more advantageous as vantage.. Do I need another ultimate excellerant? Haha
Nah I just don't like vantage, I've never met one that actually made me go "damn, I really got shit on" lowk tho vantage mains are the coolest mfs ever tho
Lmao just what I need, more burn-in from static white images on my S95B⌠If thereâs any solid colors playing on the screen, I can already see the health bar, shield, helmet, Fuseyâs ultimate symbol, tac symbol, syringe, and âsquads leftâ just burned into the panel forever ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
Monitor has skill issue.
Ha yeah. QD-OLEDS crush any other tv by a mile, even 10x better than the old WRGB oleds, but clearly they have burn-in issues. Never happened on the LG CX I had before the QDs came out. Worthwhile sacrifice for the higher brightness and insanely good color though.
That looks nice if they add it.. but I would still press TAB button multiple times for no reason at all.
I'd love this
L
Yeah, and Single Shot!
in spec to
