Passively, Mirage automatically drops down a decoy and cloaks for five seconds when he's knocked down. This can buy you a little bit of time to crawl to safety. Mirage's first active ability sends out a holographic decoy of himself that, hopefully, draws enemy fire, giving you a clue as to where they are. Mirage's Ultimate ability releases a whole team of decoys, creating an incredibly confusing scenario for the enemy and giving your team a split seconds advant

Riding the zipline up to the top will put you back into the game's "drop" mode, letting you cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. Just make sure to coordinate with your squad if you're going to drop, as splitting up over long distances makes your entire team vulnera

The kerfuffle began last night when a Twitter user reached out to Mark Rein , Vice President of Epic Games (and co-owner of the Carolina Hurricanes for NHL fans out there ). The aim of the Twitter user was simple: get a statement from a Fortnite spokesperson about the up-and-coming competitor, Apex Legends from developer Respawn Entertainm

Overall, Wraith is a very flexible character, whose abilities can be used both offensively and defensively. She makes a strong choice for a new player and players will still be finding interesting new ways to use her unique ski

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

So it's fresh, it's fun, and it's free. You should probably already be on your way to try it out, like right now. But hey, wait up. Before you're off to assemble the squad, let's give you a leg up on the competition. Here are twenty-five tips, tricks, and other things we wish we'd known before we dove into Apex Legends strategy|https://apexarenaelite.com/ Legen

It's always heartening when companies put down their corporate schtick to play nice with each other. Whether it is major game studios celebrating with competitors during flagship launches or the typical PR banter, it's always a nice feel-good story for the press. Yet, in an odd turn, Epic Vice President (i.e. Fortnite ) deleted his congratulations to the CEO of Respawn Entertainment over the tremendous launch of Apex Legends . But...

Passively, Bangalore moves faster when she comes under fire. For players who have an up-close-and-personal style of play, this is a huge benefit. Bangalore's first active ability is a Smoke Canister that explodes into a smoke wall upon contact. This is a pretty easily understandable ability and can be a huge boon in the right hands. Bangalore's Ultimate ability is pretty similar to Gibraltar's; she calls in an Artillery Strike on a specific area that rolls through the landscape over t

The downside is that you cannot see other players while you are "in" the void - but enemy players can definitely see the trail you're leaving behind. You also can't "exit" the void early to surprise enemies. Use this ability with caut

Apex Legends turns the Battle Royale genre on its head in a number of ways, the most obvious of which being the Legends players can choose to play as. The Legends function much like the heroes of games like Overwatch , with unique abilities that are sometimes easy to learn, and always difficult to master. Wraith is one of the six characters first available for new players to pick up, and us such we put together a little beginner's guide for people just getting started with the g

On top of the game's racial diversity, two of the Legends have been confirmed as LGBTQ characters. The first is Gibraltar, who is a tank-like character with heavily defensive abilities. In his official biography on EA’s website his backstory talks about "when he and his boyfriend stole his father’s motorcycle", highlighting his sexuality in a way which is relevant to his backgro

Wraith’s tactical ability is called Into The Void. By activating it, she is able to quickly run from one place to another while being immune to damage. This ability has a 19-second cooldown and lasts 3 seconds. It has both positives and negati

Respawn’s latest game was only released on Monday and already it’s having a huge impact. The free-to-play battle royale title, set in the Titanfall universe, was developed in secret, with the vast majority of gamers only becoming aware of it at lau

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
