Kaleb Cross was considered one of the best assassins of the Mercenary Syndicate, courtesy of his laser-eyed focus on his targets. However, he soon discovered a harrowing reality: he was in fact a Simulacrum, with his consciousness integrated within a steel body courtesy of Hammond Robotics. What he saw as "himself" in the mirror was just an illusion. The real Kaleb Cross was truly dead, with the Syndicate and Hammond continuously reviving him after death and erasing his memories after his missi

But as of yet, any permanent additions to Apex's selection of game modes continue to elude implementation, beyond the Ranked Leagues introduced during season two. Needless to say, there are quite a few fans that would be overjoyed to see either solos or duos make the ros

It’s worth reading the entire thread. However, to offer a quick summary: Early in the game's development, he was unsure of his purpose as a writer in a battle royale game. Up until then, the battle royales had deemphasized the role of story. He feared this meant he may soon no longer have a job. Still, while he waited for more information, he found himself crafting lore involving the Titanfall universe. He was no stranger to this universe — he'd had a hand in creating as a writer on Titanfall and Titanfall 2 . Eventually, his Respawn coworkers approached him for his ideas on how the team’s forthcoming game might fit into that universe. Subsequently, the team started discussing charact

Revenant boasts one of the most horrifying appearances among his Apex Legends companions, and this is huge because of his nature as a Simulacra. Since he’s practically a robot, Revenant isn’t actively worrying about risking his life on the field. And it’s this "control" over death that makes him utterly terrifying, especially with a powerful Apex Legends Assault Rifle and other straightforward weaponry. Here’s what fans can expect from using Reven

Tasked with a unique challenge, Respawn team set out to develop these heroes. At this point, it could have been enough to develop a generic backstory that brought everyone together or even to simply leave it undefined. After all, at the time, people weren’t looking for stories within the battle royale sett

Revenant has access to one of the most powerful skills in the entire game. Silence is an extremely potent ability denying skill that can turn the tide of battle in one smart play. This makes the already deadly assassin one of the most powerful legends in the entire ros

Whether as a new, paired weapon or a hop-up modification for existing weapons (with the Mozambique being a frequent suggestion), dual-wielding has been a feature players have petitioned for over a considerable length of t

Bloodhound's tactical ability is his "eye of the Allfather" a powerful recon ability that allows Bloodhound to see enemies through walls. This ability alone makes Bloodhound an oppressive offense character, as it is incredibly difficult to avoid a good Bloodhound pla

There's been a Skullpiercer-shaped hole in the hearts of Wingman & Longbow fans since the Skullpiercer was removed from the loot rotation. Or more astutely, there are some heads lacking holes because of it. And that's a prob

Shadow Mode is helpful, but not indestructible: Anyone from the team who touches the Totem becomes a shadow for 25 seconds. However, Shadow Mode doesn’t have Shields and only has 50 Health upon returning to the Totem after death. The Totem’s time is extended based on the last person to become a shadow. Meaning, turning into a shadow when the Totem is only a few seconds from closing will extend the Totem’s timer for another 25 seco

When I learned Tyler " Ninja " Blevins wrote a book about how to improve gameplay, I was interested to see if his tips would actually help me get better at Apex Legends . For a fee amounting to less than two months of Mixer subs, I downloaded Ninja: Get Good: My Ultimate Guide to Gaming for Kin

But what’s interesting is how Apex Legends Gameplay Legends is able to present itself as both a character showcase and a plot-driven narrative, using the battle royale concept as the story framework. Keep in mind how impressive this is in an era where some question whether games should bother to include narrative at

After reading this chapter, I changed a bunch of in-game settings. I reduced my controller sensitivity from 3 to 2. I also changed my field of view from 110 to 70. Ultimately, my aim became more accurate, even if my actual movements were slower and weir

As a writer, Hagopian may have entered the world of battle royale games unsure of his purpose. But given the tremendous amount of fan support for Apex Legends over the last year, one would hope he has fully realized his purpose by

Even after being nerfed, the Charge Rifle is easily one of the strongest and often abused weapons in the game right now. We don't necessarily want to leave it behind entirely, but given the way most players seem to regard it at the moment, it still clearly needs some balanc
