Once placed the portals will remain in place for 60 seconds and any player can use them - friend or foe. While the portals can transport your teammates, they can also help your enemies follow you. The ability is fantastic for moving teams out of a closing circle, flanking enemies and for injured teammates to crawl into so you can revive them safely at the other

While his gas causes a small amount of damage over time on players within it, this is essentially useless when so many Legends are movement focused. It’s main use, really, is to provide cover, something which other classes can also do much bet

Apex Legends _ is the latest battle royale sensation, breaking 25 million registered players during its first week available. Developer Respawn Entertainment suddenly launched the game last Monday, February 4, and positive buzz has seen _Apex Legends become one of the most talked about titles in recent memory, with a its playerbase swelling at an incredible r

Wraith is a really interesting character to play, but her abilities can take some time to master. She is a close combat fighter, and well suited for scouting. Wraith can also drop in and out of battle easily, using her dimensional rift or void abil

On the plus side, once you hit the Q button (or console equivalent), you are immune to damage for the entire 3 seconds and get a 20% movement boost. This is incredibly useful for running away from other teams, getting out of a closing circle, and can be very powerful when combined with other abilit

"Our studio is comprised of a diverse group of people, the original source playerbase of battle royale is comprised of a diverse group. Having a diverse cast is super important. You want everyone to have someone they can connect

As for other utility, well Caustic doesn’t really have any. Throwing toxic gas about is quite literally the only thing he can do. When the gas causes so little damage and is so easy to remove yourself from, this renders him weak and underpowe

Mirage is the other unlockable Legend and he’s far more fun to play than Caustic. His abilities have somewhat of a steep learning curve, but are incredibly useful when played well. Mirage’s skills are also limited in a similar way to Caustic, but his focus is on decoys, which are more useful in gamep

The other creature hiding within Apex Legends is none other than a dog. The creature has been found in two locations so far. A gap within the mountains on the training map has one dog tucked away within it, while the other dog is located in King Canyon's market area within the actual Apex map. Both appear to be toys of the exact same dog, although the latter is surrounded by pictures of real-world dogs. The history of this Easter egg has yet to be explained, so it may or may not just act as a loving tribute to pets of some of Respawn's develop

While the battle royale genre remains one of the most lucrative in gaming and is definitely a factor in Apex Legends ' success , it would be unwise to discount the game's popularity too much because of that fact. Few games catch on this fast with the gaming community, which is often quick to dismiss new entries into a genre as clones or knock-offs of existing titles. The last game that shook things up this much and this fast was probably Blizzard's Overwatch , a game that Apex Legends borrows a few design choices from. If Apex Legends continues to grow at the rate it is, however, it likely means brand new territory for the video game industry and a blueprint that other studios will be scrambling to mimic in the coming months and ye

But the more likely way Caustic will be improved will be through changes in the metagame. As more Legends are released, the highly mobile characters may drop in popularity; and when slower characters rise up, that's when Caustic may truly sh

Apex Legends seemed doomed to fail when it was first announced. Respawn Entertainment was supposed to be hard at work on Titanfall 3 , the latest entry into the beloved mech series that had become synonymous with the developer. Instead, reports came out suggesting that what had one been the plans for Titanfall 3 had instead been shuttled and modified into Apex Legends , a battle royale title that appeared to be the publisher's attempt at cashing in on the battle royale craze. Fans were noticeably upset, and many were salivating at the chance to lambast Respawn for the sudden switch in pl

The most impressive thing about the sudden rise of Apex Legends is that the game hasn't even delivered on many of the promises Respawn Entertainment has made regarding its early post-launch content. The game is slated to receive holiday-themed loot, a tournament hosted on Twitch, and its first season of content in March. The latter of those additions will feature the debut of the game's Battle Pass, new Legends, weapons, and l

We can't tell for certain why the Tweet was deleted, whether it was a mistake from an intern or a call from the Epic Games PR team to tear down some goodwill across the industry. But the optics make it look like Fortnite feels like it is on the ropes, which is clearly the opposite of what they want to convey in this critical t
