Turns out the Buster Sword in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Apex Legends is incredibly overpowered.

Earlier this week, the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth-themed event in Apex Legends kicked off, complete with the iconic Buster Sword as a brand-new melee weapon. You might think bringing a sword to a gunfight would be a bad mov🍷e, but as players have discovered, Cloud's weapon arguably packs a bigger punch than any gun in Respawn's shooter.

Just below you can see someone cleaving their way through an enemy Horizon player in just three hits. There's barely anything the Horizon player can do to fight back - it even looks like they've got Epic-tier armor equipped, but that's apparen𝔍tly nothing compar𝓰ed to the Buster Sword's damage output.

Elsewhere in the clip below, one player absolutely "spanks" an enemy player with relentless Buster Sword strikes, as one commenter succinctly put it. "Pls tell me this is a bug," responds another commenter, to which ಞwe can sadly confirm it is a not a bug, but a deliberate gameplay feature.

Marathon associate world designer Collin MacGregor, in the clip below, shows it's near-effortless to♊ put an entire team of three enemies in the ground with Cloud's sword. MacGregor truly makes it look like putting a hot knife through butter, and we can't help but feel a little bad for the opposing squad.

Finally, the streamer below shows off the airborne move again, only this ti🙈me with the added clip of them brutaܫlly chasing down an Octane player with the Buster Sword. Did the Octane player forget they can just sprint away from a sword? We'd be a little flustered too, truth be told.

Truly, the Bust𝓡er Sword looks more like a Busted Swor♏d in these clips. We wonder if Respawn will be quick on the case to reduce the sword's damage output, or if it'll possibly even reduce the rate at which the sword can lash out at foes. 

As for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Square Enix's remake sequel will launch next month on February 29. You can read our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth preview for a look at what to expect from the new game.
