Whether it’s through a new character with special abilities that counter Pathfinder, or the availability of grapple guns as loot items, there needs to be some way to give other characters the chance to be on effective footing with Pathfin

Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact

The Kraken also just feel great to wear. The cooling gel-infused ear cushions keep you cool while under pressure, but are also easy enough to clean, should it need it. The headset is light, but packs an incredibly powerful punch. Given that the headset is cross-platform compatible, you can rest assured that your headset investment will be well-worth

As far as in-game loot options, a grapple gun with only three or four uses or a single-use zip line loot drop could be strong opportunity to counter. As a random Epic or Legendary loot drop, item rarity could make it so that people would still have to work to obtain these it

In most FPS games — and in battle royale-style games in particular — players who have the high ground have serious advantages. High ground positioning makes it easier to spot enemies, to block their shots using the jutting edge of the terrain and to more easily get headshots against oppone

With no way to counter the zip line, a person who has low ground has to take a low-ground, long distance fight or wait for the Pathfinder to come down. The latter becomes unlikely, though, when the character is in an advantageous posit

The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset goes above and beyond to fill that need. The headset is the first gaming headset to introduce THX Spatial Audio, which aims to increase players’ in-game awareness to have the upper hand on the playing field. With the Kraken, you’d have to try pretty darn hard to ignore the in-game surrounding environment. Approaching enemy footsteps come through clear as day. The audio control device that can be attached to the headset allows players to adjust game and chat audio on the fly, while also controlling the bass and THX spatial audio tog

Caustic, or as he was once known as, Alexander Maxwell Nox, was born to parents who also were known by their complete name. This means that Caustic was born to a family of wealth, pride, and/or pretens

This option comes with a strong caveat, being that distance-sniping tactics aren’t always effective. It’s not uncommon to find out this here someone who can deals 1000+ damage with no kills because they’re sniping halfway across the map and can do just enough damage to annoy opponents, but not enough to get knocks or kills. Balance whether it’s worth it to take a sniper distance fight that will also give away the squad’s position, and also consider that the high-ground opponent may have powerful sniper rifles as w

It would make sense that a man who spends years experimenting with dangerous chemicals and toxins could develop a terminal disease. Often the equipment used to protect them is found to not be 100% effective in studies in the years that follow. Can a man cheat death twice in his l

When Apex Legends first came out, many agreed Pathfinder was one of the worst characters. While hit box issues were part of the problem, there was also a sense that his abilities didn’t match up to damage-dealing ultimates like Bangalore’s or enhanced health and shield protection like Lifel

The solution isn’t to nerf Pathfinder. It would seem unfair to negatively adjust a longtime character’s core abilities, especially when these abilities are so simple. Doing so would certainly cause backlash within the commun

In gaming, "flanking" describes the process of using the terrain to exploit an enemy blindspot. Frequently, in Apex, this means traveling the perimeter of the circle to reach the opponent rather than taking a direct p

JB Blanc is the man who brought the gaseous scientist to life in Apex Legends . Along with playing the role of Caustic in Apex Legends Blanc has appeared in several other notable projects. Some of the standouts include the portrayal of Kano in Mortal Kombat 11 and a recurring role on AMC's Better Call S

While the options in this scenario tend to reflect play style choices, the reality is that exposing the squad across the terrain is a sure way to draw attention. Consider that a Kraber can knock a person in a single shot, and that taking the time to heal them leaves a team member availing themselves to another sniper s
