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 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
Living in New York City, which was an unfortunate hotspot for the virus, I’m now three months into our city’s stay-at-home order. It finally appears the worst may be over, but our reality will be much different moving forward. Since Friday, March 13, I’ve left my apartment a grand total of six times. Even as my community reopens, we're a long way from the massive open-air concerts and outdoor drinking debauchery that are hallmarks of New York in the summert
The theme of Season 5 seems to be centered on exploration, discovery, and riches. Loba's Huntswoman skin has the skilled assassin looking like a Victorian bounty hunter. The forest green and cream outfit is accented by the dark brown leather of her accessories and brings the entire look toget
While known for it's more serious tone, PUBG's survivor pass for season 7 has taken a bit of a sillier twist. The survivor pass is a whopping $10 and it offers 100 tiers of rewards, 41 player customization options, 19 weapon skins, and 9 emotes. While in the past the rewards were lackluster, season 7 is dinosaur themed and a lot of the cosmetics are silly mascot outfits or exotic animal print jackets. PUBG allows the player to customize their character more than most games, and season 7's pass adds a lot of unique flair to the player's opti
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
Bangalore doesn't have a set of abilities that will wow or surprise you, but boy is she valuable. She's the prototype for players who want a more traditional first-person shooter experience and her smoke can help get her team out of some sticky situati
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 Movement Mechanics Gaming 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
Another highly-populated area, the Market is a tough one as there are tons of different locations to enter from, including a roof opening where players can get the drop on others firing from unsuspecting players. There is a ton of loot here but it's definitely a riskier area than the Artillery and if dropping here, make sure your skills are up to the task. This location will usually be picked as a secondary alternative for most players if their first pick isn't to their liking for whatever reason making it high on the list for combat locations. If this is the first landing place, a great secondary location to go right after is the Hydro Dam that also has a good number of loot bo
The Slum Lanes can be a bit of a maze to newer players but the good thing about this area is that it can be easy to get lost when meeting up with other players. Unless someone is using Bloodhound or Crypto, this area is easy to get the jump on others and escape if needed. The area has a lot of loot chests here as well but they are spread out and most of the loot is just lying on the floor in each building. Not a lot of players come to this location and is a good place to go if avoidance of the pack is the strat
Now let's talk about the other color variant of the Bootlegger skin. This one is mostly gold and black and goes by the name Gold Standard. The pinstripes on this skin are a lot more subdued and at a glance, it simply looks like Loba is wearing a gold and black jacket. If the other skin is a created character in Red Dead Online , this one might be an end-game outfit you unlock after hours of grinding and/or gathering resources. It visually brings back the images of Loba as a child, growing up in a life of wea
