Nessie is said to be found hidden within Apex Legends ' training map. Players are able to jump into this mode from the main menu, and Apexarenaelite.Com are actually encouraged to do so upon first booting up the game. Speaking to Kotaku , Respawn's PR manager Brad Hilderbrand addressed why the creature made its triumphant return to the limelight: " The plush dino critter is Nessie, a long-running Respawn Easter egg. All the maps in Titanfall and Titanfall 2 had a hidden Nessie somewhere in them, so the team kept her legend alive in Ape

Considering the financial underperformance of the first two Titanfall games (though both were still well-received by critics and the game's small, but loyal group of fans), it has to be a relief for both Respawn and EA that Apex Legends is not only performing so well, but that it's single-handedly taken some financial pressure off of EA in the short term. In terms that are perhaps more relevant to gamers, however, this level of success can hopefully lead to the revitalization of the entire Titanfall IP. While Titanfall 3 is confirmed to not currently be in development thanks to Respawn's focus on Apex Legends , other Titanfall -set properties are expected to release later this y

By now, you have probably seen the mindblowing video of Twitch streamer, Triv , as he grapples his way to victory thanks to a crazy spinning maneuver using Pathfinder’s grappling hook. Thus, if you are merely using Pathfinder’s grappling hook as a way to zip straight from point to another, you’re doing it wrong. Pathfinder’s grappling ability can do so much more, including increasing your skiing speed and slingshotting across the map to take your enemies by surpr

Its most obvious use is before a resuscitation. Hitting Q to deploy the drone before you go in to revive means it starts healing your teammate as soon as they get back up. It can also top up your own health under the cover of the shield, which Lifeline will throw up with the rev

According to Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella (via: EA ) , Apex Legends achieved over 10 million players during its first 72 hours. Additionally, more than 1 million concurrent players were on the game's servers during this same period. As pointed out by Twitter user Benji-Sales , the release of Apex Legends also saw a rise in Respawn's parent company EA's stock prices. This rise has recuperated the company's reported losses during their quarterly earning report and the stock prices are now even higher than they were before the drop initially occur

Establishing these character elements in the game's canon right from the start is important for letting all kinds of players know they're welcome to join in - and there definitely isn't space for anyone toxic. Apex Legends developer Tina Sanchez also has something to say for the toxic people in her l

_ Apex Legends _ has only been out one week, but already theorycrafters and competitive gamers are figuring out the best ways to use each of the character’s abilities to get a leg up on the competition. While some might say that Pathfinder - the loveable, optimistic, and upbeat robot - is _ Apex Legends’ _ worst character, it could be argued that if you use him and his grappling hook correctly, he could, in all reality, be one of the games most powerful Legends. Additionally , it's crazy talk to think of Pathfinder as Legends' weakest character, considering he basically has the same ability as Mortal Kombat's Scorpion, which we will touch on la

Then again, perhaps these are hinting at future Apex Legends updates. Maybe animal companions will be added just like pets joined Fortnite , which would be a wonderful cosmetic item for gamers hoping to customize the rather wonderfully inclusive characters of **Apex Legends ** a little more. Only time will tell what Respawn Entertainment is doing with these hidden animals, but it likely won't be long until fans learn if there's a greater purpose behind their inclus

This all sounds far easier than it actually is. You will need a lot of practice to get a feel for the timing, as well as the directional mechanics necessary for performing slingshot grapples. Just keep at it, and you will be rewarded with some pretty exciting ways of travelling across the map while taking out oppone

I’d advise all new players to start by playing through the tutorial. It takes just a couple of minutes and quickly goes through the main aspects of the game. It will also allow you to get a feel for Lifeline’s capabilities, something which you cannot do with any other Leg

Jumping is also a pivotal part of the action, especially for slingshotting to heights or distances that might otherwise be unreachable. However, the jump won’t matter much if you don’t time it prope

Apex Legends (whose very name is likely a riff on minor Titanfall series antagonist Kuben Blisk's mercenary outfit, the Apex Predators) is an incredibly polished and streamlined iteration on the battle royale formula. Originally leaked a day before its surprise February 3 release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, Apex Legends excels in areas where other battle royales tend to falter thanks to developer Respawn's innovative approaches to teamwork, traversal, and spawning. While there's little room to complain about a new AAA competitor that has serious potential to shake things up for Fortnite and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , there's little question of the fact that free-to-play Apex Legends - which wears its market-driven influences like Overwatch on its sleeve - is a far cry from Titanfall despite their passing similarit
