The Gauntlet looks strangely familiar to a skate park except it has a ring of fire and a ton of loot. It will be highly populated which means anyone coming into this area definitely needs their A-Game or it's going to be a quick match. There can be a great piece of loot in the fire ring by using the jump pads but the real attraction here is the easy access to multiple supply bins and the ability to move to the next looting locations right after. Most players will end up landing here and then going straight to the Market location right after or the Salvage area. It was designed with Octane in mind and if playing with him, take advantage of the open area and jump pads to speed up and get the drop on the oppone
A video recently emerged on Reddit showing exactly how toxic random players can be. A player downs two enemies only to get knocked before a teammate kills the third. The teammates then refuse to revive the downed player. To see it and know there are few consequences for these actions is frustrating, to say the le
Video games should be fun. But issues with random players detract from the experience. It’s time for Respawn to step in and develop a strategy for dealing with players who can’t play with basic respect and dece
As expansive as Kings Canyon is in _Apex Legends _ , there are a few prime spots to land in Season 5 and a few to avoid. Some of the more popular locations will be heavily populated so it's up to each player do decide if they want to go up against the competition or avoid the mess, at least for a little while, and stay off to the sides. Each method of play has its rewards and benefits and the drop locations can help to establish those types of pl
Ever since his initial inception, it seems the designers at Respawn Entertainment wanted Revenant to come across as what they described as a "synthetic shinobi." Shinobi are stealthy covert agents that are often simply called ninjas. It doesn't seem as though Revenant is completely robotic, and his human brain is likely what makes him synthetic. The game has a wide cast of characters for players to choose from and its neat that they added one that's unnerving and terrifying, but at the same time exudes a certain level of c
Loba is the new Legend available this season. She is the daughter of 2 of Revenants victims, as seen in Revenants reveal trailer, and her life ever since has been an Inigo Montoya revenge mission. She found herself in the Apex Legends Strategy Games while hunting Revenant and she brings with her an exciting tool
Lifeline is still far and away the best support character in the game as her healing is invaluable. The problem is that Loba was introduced and her Ultimate Ability makes Lifeline look trivial by compari
Throughout the entertainment medium, you'll often find that artists and animators love to reference their favorite influences and inspirations via direct examples, or even sometimes as hidden easter eggs. Revenant happens to have a rarely occurring animation when summoning his Ultimate ability called Death Totem. He will do a series of hand signs that are directly from the famous manga and anime series Naruto . This makes perfect sense considering the Naruto franchise focuses on ninjas, which were a direct inspiration for Revenant's charac
The Cage is more of a large tower and it is highly populated as well with everyone landing on the topmost part of the tower for the most part. If this is the destination of choice either landing on the top of the tower, expecting a fight, or landing on the outside of it, where there's tons of loot in the small bunkers, avoiding contact, can be a preferred play here. It's one of the rare locations that going into combat is a choice rather than a necessity but in the endgame, being on the top of the tower is where everyone would love to
The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a movement to end racism and promote inclusivity. Companies that previously sat on the fence have been forced to take action and prove they are progressive and are moving with the times. Over the last few weeks, there has been an unprecedented show of support for the black community, with most publishers releasing statements condemning racism and taking action to ensure inclusivity and equality. Many popular games even have "Black Lives Matter" banners to affirm this stance. Something these companies are conveniently forgetting is that ALL black lives matter, not just American black li
As applied to randoms, this optional metric would be a terrific way to incentivize good behavior. Perhaps the result of numerous positive endorsements could be a guaranteed legendary item, a unique skydive emote or a special profile ba
The easiest fix would be to play only with players one trusts. However, one key issue is that my friends range from far better to me to far worse than me, which poses challenges with skill-based matchmaking. Even though my K/D is below one and I have a win rate of 5 percent, squadding up with my higher-skill friends means there will almost certainly be Apex Predators in our lo
