In terms of monetary value, the Warzone battle pass is a pretty good investment, but the loot players earn don't add much to the excitement of the game. Unless a player is into the more militaristic skins and cosmetics, or are a fan of gun buddies and XP boosters, this battle pass may be one they want to sit out. It's hard to say definitively what the best battle pass is (although **Fortnite's ** is pretty close) since it ultimately depends on an individual preference, but hopefully the information mentioned above will help any curious players make the best decision for t

By many accounts, these teams are working harder than ever. Workers in the gaming industry had to rapidly adapt to the challenges of remote work. Many of these studio employees have children, which means they had to rearrange their own lives to care for their children and support them through remote learning. Though many workers may relish being able to work in their pajama pants, they're facing innate challenges without the interpersonal aspects of working together at a stu

Of course, Fortnite is the first battle pass to discuss as it is the grandfather of the Battle Pass system. For the most part, their battle pass has done everything right and is well worth the $10 it costs to purchase. A season of Fortnite lasts about 10 weeks, so every two and a half months a new battle pass is available for players. The battle pass offers 100 tiers of rewards, some of which are pretty garbage, while others would cost the player $12 - $20 if available for purchase in the item shop. A Fortnite battle pass also comes with exclusive challenges for players to complete, with new challenges being unlocked every w

Season Five of Apex Legends has introduced players to the brand new legend Loba . She is a treasure hunter with teleporting abilities, as well as an ultimate that can summon nearby loot for her and her teammates. Loba has access to some of the more interesting abilities that Apex Legends has seen yet, but many players may not exactly know how to use her properly or fight against her abilities as another character. This guide is here to make sense of Loba and all of the new abilities added to Season F

For those unfamiliar with the Battle Pass system, it is a one time purchase (usually around $10) that unlocks a ton of in-game cosmetic rewards. However, players have to level up or progress through the battle pass tier to unlock each reward. Games like Fortnite or apex legends comparison Legends reward players with new character skins, emotes, weapon skins, etc. Battle passes are also only available for a limited time which is usually referred to as a "season," and the items that are offered through the battle pass can only be obtained during this seasonal window. This encourages players to purchase the battle pass and grind through the tier before the season is over so they don't miss out on these exclusive sk

The powerful close-range shotgun is a must-have for those who love fighting in tight spots and the Gift of Power skin makes it a bit more of an art piece. The mostly white and black design is accented with fiery balls of what looks to be lava cascading from the gun itself. It may not be Season 5's best skin, but it certainly isn't its wo

Sometimes in games, it feels like cosmetic items are universal and meant to work with a variety of characters, and sometimes it feels like they were made for an unnamed perfect pairing. The Gilded Hunt skin for the Charge Rifle definitely feels like the latter as the aesthetics of it magnetize it to the engineering legend, Wattson. The stark white coloring with subtle patterns makes it feel more like a tool and less like a weapon. Considering she dabbles with electricity, maybe the Charge Rifle is Wattson's preferred gun of cho

While the character skins which are unlocked through the battle pass aren't that great, the weapon skins and emotes in Apex Legends are amazing. What Apex lacks in character skins they make up for tenfold in weapon skins, and almost every weapon skin in the battle pass is gorgeous. There are also plenty of quality voice lines, emotes, calling cards, and stat trackers. On top of all of those rewards, there are rare materials which can be used to craft skins as well as high tier Apex Packs only obtainable through the battle p

Within the gaming community, there are countless examples. The ones mentioned here speak to major, big-budget releases. But even when it comes to indies with small but loyal followings, development teams are hard at work keeping these games fr

For the longest time, the Hemlok was seen as a burst assault rifle that should only be used as a last resort. In Season 5, however, it has quickly ascended in the meta to be a clear and decisive top ten choice. The Retrofitted skin makes the gun feel even more high-class and pairs nicely with the numerous new legend skins the season introduced. Whenever you pair a maroon color with gold and black accents you're already playing with house money in regards to creating a design people will want to acquire and eq
