Thanks, Game Devs, For Helping Me Stay Sane Through A Crisis

In games of Apex Legends , I’ve found myself matched with profile names that are blatantly racist (they used workarounds to pass spam filters). Once, the first thing someone said was a sexual comment. I’ve been told I was trash for losing a fight by missing a shotgun shot. Random players frequently separate from their teammates, go AFK in the middle of a fight with no explanation and can be toxic in any number of other w

About a month ago, after a week-long delay due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, Apex Legends introduced Season 5: Fortune's Favor. It’s the most successful season launch to date , according to a recent press release. Anecdotally, I can attest to the fact that I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game since the beginning of the pande

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

Loba's name was a really smart choice because it serves a dual purpose with both its traditional meaning and what it means in slang. The name traditional means she-wolf which makes sense considering she's an independent woman who is fierce and willing to do what needs to be d

He points out that big organizations such as 100 Thieves and FaZe haven’t invested in the game’s competitive scene. And, perhaps in part due to his role with SoaR, he can look at it realistically from a business perspect

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

Still, while he was busy with _ Battlefield V _ , a friend of his clued him into a forthcoming game that was "really going to shake things up." The friend, who had play- tested it, was unable to say anything more without violating a strict non-disclosure agreem

This tube-like area in Kings Canyon doesn't have too much loot but it's enough for a team of three to get and make due. It's a very good location to drop into as it has three exits all leading to other high loot areas like Slum Lane. This will allow the team to look at which location is under siege and either join in the fight or avoid it altogether. If meeting up with opponents here, there is not a ton of cover so going on the offense and small flanking maneuvers will be valuable tactics h

His noxious gas can cause confusion and several disrupt your opponent's plans. If you strategize accordingly and the final circle lands on a building, beware. A smart Caustic can cover that building in gas traps and make it impossible for enemy teams to fight unscat

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

Loba may seem like a hateful and vengeful person, but those feelings only seem to mostly extend to anything related to robotics. When it comes to humans and animals Loba likes and cares deeply about them. She's especially caring and protective of animals because she knows they have no ulterior motives. Her name being that of a she-wolf helps tie that connection even further as she, like a stray cat or dog, Apexlegendsfans.Com feels abandoned and left to fend for herself. Maybe she'll get a pet wolf by her side . Wouldn't that be interest

The master of the hunt, Bloodhound, has been seeing a slow and steady set of buffs that have slowly made the hunter better and better with every passing season. Battle royale games place a heavy emphasis on information gathering and Bloodhound is one of the few legends who makes that part of the game an active part of their abilit

When the COVID-19 crisis suddenly began ravaging communities around the world, national governments could offer little assurance to anxious citizens. We were lucky if we got anything more than contradictory instructions about masks, some vague instructions for handwashing and orders to "stay ho

It's great because more games need bisexual representation, but it doesn't define Loba, just like someone's sexual preference isn't their defining personality trait. She has a quip where she says "Man Eater and Lady Killer" which expresses it, which was further confirmed by writer Tom Casiello on Twit

This area can be either hit or miss with players dropping into it so it's a medium risk when it comes to encountering enemies. This place has a lot of loot crates and most of them are over a large area so be prepared to run. It's on the edge of the map so it tends to be out of the circle pretty quickly so make this location a quick loot and go. It does have a few buildings that are multi-leveled so combat doesn't get too crazy. Watch out for the corridors as going between buildings can have a trapping effect with players lulling others into the corridors and then flanking behind t
