Imagine it's down to two teams in Apex Legends. Your squad is posted up in a two-story shack right in the middle of Swamps. As the circle closes in, each of you crouch in a corner waiting to hear footsteps. Your Caustic has peppered the house with traps, you've reloaded all your guns twice and topped off your armor. That's when you hear a Bloodhound ult as the final teams starts chucking grenades through the window. This is it, it's now or never, just as the Bloodhound comes up the stairs you whip your mouse around and take the shot, missing by an inch because your mouse cord snagged on the back of your desk! You lose the round, and of course, uninstall the g

This option comes with a strong caveat, being that distance-sniping tactics aren’t always effective. It’s not uncommon to find 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

Frequently, near the end of the game, there’s no good way for a low-ground player to match an opposing team’s high ground position. This may be because the final circle formation leaves no way to match the opponent’s position without venturing into a high-damage storm, or that any means to reach the opponent is heavily guar

The second season of Apex Legends offered something many fans didn't even know was going to be a part of it, which was new limited-time modes for players to experience. The most popular of these modes was a single-player version of the base 3 vs. 3 mode, and also one that only spawned snipers and shotguns on the

The drone already highlights enemies within 30m of it, but that's a pretty tiny bubble. This feature encompasses the entire distance that the drone can cover from its launch area. It's a big area to cover, and it doesn't reveal their exact locations. But if they're inside the drone's flight area, they're close enough to require keeping your guard

The game still has very healthy numbers and offers a great free-to-play alternative for people. Will that base stick around once all of the major Fall video game releases start hitting shelves? Well, we'll have to wait and

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

Caustic began as a research scientist at Humbert Labs on his home-world known as Gaea. They were the leading manufacturer for pesticides for the Frontier crops and were responsible for making sure the crops were uncontaminated and survived the entire harvest sea

Apex Legends ' third season sees hacker extraordinaire Crypto added to the existing roster , and his unique skill set definitely shakes things up. All of Crypto's abilities revolve around the use of his Surveillance Drone, a deployable airborne robot that is definitely a lot more than a glorified mobile security camera. If you want to get good with Crypto, then you're going to need to get extremely familiar with its capabilit

There was a recent issue where developers and fans got into a bit of a disagreement regarding the microtransactions in the game. Many players thought that the price attached to some of the special event cosmetics were extremely expensive, and a select few voiced it very poorly. This led to a developer becoming frustrated and calling those select few some choice words. Respawn is a developer who's great at listening and correcting their mistakes, but don't hold your breath if a new event skin costs an arm and a

Perhaps even more than playing Dead by Daylight , its player base loves speculating about who the next survivors and killers will be to join in on the terrorizing fun that is sacrificing to, or escaping, the Entity. We recently had the opportunity to speak with Mathieu Côté, the game director for the PS5 game Guide at Behavior Interactive, and he had some fascinating insight on how these characters are chosen, as well as why Scooby Doo and the Mystery Incorporated gang will likely never appear in the g

In the last few rings of the game, it’s especially important to keep an eye on the location of each upcoming circle. Players who know the map well can anticipate endgame situations that provide opportunities for both high-ground and low-ground positioning. Players who want to win should aim to do everything they can to take out their opponents before this happens, even if this means pushing the fight from a lower le

The map in Apex Legends has only seen one major evolution throughout its lifetime, and that came once the second season began. These giant lumbering dinosaur-like creatures took up residence in King's Canyon, and their footsteps caused the landscape to change. Other than that, the map saw the addition of an Octane-inspired area and a lab portal, which was introduced after the premiere of Wraith's animated short. Here's hoping small and large changes come to King's Canyon and make familiar territory brand spanking
