If a team has circle advantage in a later phase of the game, there’s rarely a reason to try to take on a high-ground opponent. Because the circle’s closure will require them to have to drop down and push toward the circle anyway, fighting them when they’re on more level terrain is the way to go. If an opposing team waits until the circle is closing to move from the high ground position, this is a great time for a Bangalore’s or a Gibraltar to use their ultimate. This can provide a major impediment as the team must now face a barrage of damage within the circle or risk getting caught in the area outside the circle, which rapidly depletes players’ hea

The game differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th

The Anvil Receiver ups the damage for semi-automatic fire on the R301 and Flatline, giving them more utility as marksman rifles. The Double Tap Trigger, perhaps most interestingly, causes the EVA-8 and Scout to fire two round bur

In addition, there was also speculation that the game would be a dominant entrant in eSports, as it offers players a more consistent experience than games like Fortnite , which has been criticized for its constant change. Right now, Fortnite is giving the world a perfect example of its problematic and hasty updates, with BRUTE Mechs dominating most games and almost every pro player and organization begging Epic Games to remove the unbalanced items from competitive matc

Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that "it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri

The game's lore says Bloodhound may be part ba t. Look, I’m fine with robots and alien beings. But once it gets into animal territory, that’s pushing it a bit too far — mostly because I’m terrified of the human-animal hybrid anat

Once again, we need to compare this to Fortnite , the dominant game in the genre, which treats its consumers with far more respect. There is nothing random about purchasing items in that game. The item shop shows exactly what one will receive, theoretically leaving players satisfied with their purchase, and not let down at the randomness that comes with loot bo

The first notable issue came in the form of an underwhelming, uninspired, and grind-heavy Battle Pass for its first season of play. Like other games, their version of the Battle Pass contained 100 tiers of unlockable cosmetic items, but these were nowhere near the quality that one would expect from such a popular g

Instead of being a flat point reward, the points from kills will now benefit from placement "multipliers." For example, placing fifth pays out 30 RP, and has a kill multiplier of 15. This means that getting four kills in that game would've netted 60 points, for a total of 90. It still caps out at five kills, but provides way more incentive to actually get those ki

This same season wasn't free of controversy as the developer/player discussion around microtransactions was an interesting point of contention. All in all the pass had some cool skins for legends and their weapons. Let's look at and rank the 10 best skins of Apex Legends Season 2: Battle Charge's Battle P

The kindest way to describe the current state of Apex Legends is that it has destroyed its own potential in its pending death by a thousand cuts. One indicator of a game’s popularity is its viewership numbers on Twitch , which tell a story of how interested people are in watching the game's content. Although not representative exactly of the number of players in the game, we can see a steady decline over the past six mon

Hacker savant Crypto is all about surveillance, and his intelligence-gathering abilities give even Bloodhound's a run for their PS5 Money Guide. He can deploy and control an airborne drone to scout and mark enemies, and his ultimate allows it to produce a powerful EMP blast that stuns enemies, damages shields, and destroys traps over an impressively large rad

His Defensive Bombardment ultimate also got some love, with a full minute shaved off of its cooldown time. It also saw two seconds removed from its duration, which can be a bummer, but it can also be thrown more than thirty percent further, giving it a bit more leverage and util

In terms of gaming accessory priorities, it’s easy for headsets to take a backseat to a keyboard or mouse. But if you’re genuinely looking to gain an advantage over your competition - especially in a game like _ Apex Legends _ in which you need to listen for incoming footsteps - a solid headset is an absolute m
