Finally, poor Pathfinder's grapple has had its cooldown increased from 15 to 35 seconds. The developers explain in the patch notes that they don't think Pathfinder should be able to reposition so easily multiple times in a fight, and we tend to ag
Season 5 of Apex Legends started today, and the patch notes are incredibly extensive. We have a new legend , new zones in King's Canyon, balance changes to Legends and weapons, and a brand new PVE game mode known as the Season Quest. There is also a new battle pass, a rotation to supply drops, and the return of one of the best hop-ups. Let's dive
Skull Town and Thunderdome have been demolished and a new POI, Salvage, has been added. Salvage is a high-tier loot location with only a couple points of entry, so it is well protected, even though it's relatively small. Players also have access to a portion of the lab the Loba destroyed in Season 5 trai
The Devotion has seemingly become the best light machine gun in the game overnight. All light machine guns suffer from the issue of extended reload times, but the Devotion makes up for that in several areas. For being such a large weapon it someone remains pretty accurate and has little recoil feedback when firing. Add this to the large numbers it packs in the damage department and there's no mystery why it has ascended to be one of the best weapons in the entire g
Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi
There are a lot of question marks when it comes to Revenant because his past is so mysterious. In terms of height, he stands at 6'8", which is quite impressive, but it is unclear if he was this tall as a human as well. That type of height isn't common, but it also isn't unrealis
_ Apex Legends _ won Best Multiplayer Game at the 2019 Game Awards and Online Game of the Year at the DICE Awards . With Respawn having recently opened a Vancouver office and projecting a 10-year run for the game, it’s clear the company plans to support the game for the foreseeable future. And, while Respawn is investing in _ Apex Legends collectibles Legends _ as an esport, there are questions as to how it may fare among other competitive games. But Dazs is optimis
Her tactical ability, Theif's Best Friend, is a short distance teleport. Loba throws her bracelet like a frisbee and instantly teleports wherever it lands. It has a 25 second cooldown and a long animation recovery, but it's a great tool for getting in and out of trou
In the world of shotguns, the Peacekeeper has made its mark as a dangerous weapon in the hands of an opponent. Getting into a close-quarters fight with someone accurate with a Peacekeeper will likely result in your untimely dem
Between his role with SoaR, his stream schedule (he puts in more than 20 hours a week), _ Apex Legends _ scrim matches, his regular YouTube uploads , spending time with his fiance and his day job, it’s a near-miracle he has time to talk the TheGa
In a world that's somewhat grounded, the introduction of an ability that resurrects people is quite head-scratching. Tom Casiello, a writer for the game, was asked to provide a canonical explanation for the ability, but couldn't due to the explanation being tied to a future leg
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
Most players will opt for an automatic gun over a burst-fire assault rifle, but the Hemlok has built a strong case for itself. People worry about accuracy and rate of fire when it comes to burst rifle guns, but the Hemlok does both tremendously well. Mid-range fights are where it truly shines and speaking of shining you should look around for the special golden Hemlok that can be found in Season 5 . It also happens to have received one of the best weapon skins in Season 5, which is a bo
You might be scratching your head wondering how on Earth the Prowler made it into the Top 10 when considering the best weapons in the game for Season 5 . It all comes down to a single attachment called the select-fire hop-up. When attached it allows players to turn the gun into an assault rifle. A fully equipped Prowler turns the unwieldy and overlooked gun into something quite formidable in battle. It shouldn't be your go-to weapon, but it can make its mark in a pinch with the right pieces in pl
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
