Mirage has quickly ascended to be the poster child of the game in many ways, thanks in large part to his over the top personality. It should come as no surprise that he received a brand new skin in Season 5 that's pretty stel
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
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
Warzone's battle pass offers players 100 tiers of loot progression that lasts for a limited amount of time and can be purchased for the all-too-familiar $10. While the W arzone experience is one of a kind, the battle pass leaves a lot to be desired. There are different operators available, but they aren't very unique visually, and the weapon blueprints all have that same standard Call of Duty feel, with only a few standing out from among the rest. However, the big selling point for the Warzone battle pass is that essentially players get their money back. The pass may cost 1,000 CP, but if the entire pass is completed the player will earn 1,300
The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin
Most publishers deny Africa from having game servers but release statements condemning racism and promoting equality. It seems like black lives matter, but not enough to get the same services as the rest of the wo
His skin is called Fool's Gold and gives off strong conquistador vibes. He looks like a weird mix between a famous conquistador and a bumbling steampunk pilot. Mirage seems to often be toeing the line between competent threat and naive goofball. It's kind of his thing at this po
The largest black community lives in Africa and has a long history of being treated as second-class, whether it's colonialism, the slave trade, or gaining access to world-class events. The stereotype of Africa being poor, dirty, and underdeveloped is still strong up to this day with no sign of change on the horizon. Yes, some places are less developed, but in the last few decades, the continent has made massive strides in terms of technology and has seen incredible growth. Despite all the progress, most video game publishers don't have a single server on the continent, and exclude Africa from their events complet
Revenant's base design is so striking and visually interesting that it seems almost impossible at this point for Respawn to make a skin for him that isn't cool. The Death Etching skin players receive for purchasing the Season 5 battle pass follows this trend as another skin worth using. It very much echoes the same Egyptian and Middle Eastern fortune vibe that the other two skins its paired with display. Black on gold will never not look amazing, and the subtle red accents throughout make the skin truly outstand
PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS is another battle royale which can't go without being mentioned. While it wasn't the first to adopt the battle pass system, it was one of the first battle royale games and the one that many would attribute the popularity of the genre to. PUBG did eventually adopt the battle pass mode of play, but it's first few launches were a bit mediocre. However, the most recent " Survivor Pass " has been the most advantageous so
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
Warzone is arguably the hottest battle royale experience out right now, and as such it only makes sense that Call of Duty would also hop on the Battle Pass bandwagon. This isn't Call of Duty 's first battle royale, however it is their first good one. The same can be said for the Warzone hero shooter battle Royale Pass. Call Of Duty Black Ops 4's reward system allowed players to buy multiple different "battle passes" that would last until the player completed all of the tiers. This time around they are taking a more traditional approach to the battle pass sys
