hands-gloves-knitting-winter-fingers-mixed-coloured-wool-thumbnail.jpgMost 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

Passive Ability- Eye For Quality: Eye for quality is a perfect ability because it will automatically highlight any nearby epic and legendary pieces of loot. Players will even be able to see this loot through walls if they are within ra

Big names in gaming like Apex Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , Valorant , Rainbow Six Siege , and more have a worldwide following with servers everywhere except Africa. As an African gamer, I find it insulting and hypocritical that these companies force us to read Black Lives Matter messages every time we start a game, yet most black people aren't allowed to get the best experience from

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

Out of all of the non-care package sniper rifles in the game, the Longbow is the best of the bunch. Back in Season 3 , it received a rate of fire increase and it hasn't looked back since. In Season 5 the change was made so now the Skullpiercer attachment could be used on it, which greatly increases its headshot dam

Teams with very strategic approaches to combat will likely make Wattson a must in their team compositions. She has a set of abilities that are great at zoning and keeping control of a specific location. Wattson's Interception Pilon can also protect her team from enemy launchers and explosi

Bloodhound is the second of the 3 immediate battle pass reward skins for Season 5. Their skin falls in the middle as it is much more cohesive than Wraith's but not as stellar as the one Revenant received. Bloodhound's is mostly gold but has plenty of red and blue accents in and around their torso area. It would have been neat if Respawn recolored their raven partner, but regardless the Gilded Claw skin is still quite impressive. They have enough gold on them to make a sizeable offering to O

Lifeline is still far and away the best support character in the game as her healing is invaluable. The problem is that Loba was introduced and her Ultimate Ability makes Lifeline look trivial by compari

Because of its central location and possibility of high-tier loot, Containment is often a very hot drop zone. Flyers locked away in cages will squawk to give away a person’s position, so try to avoid getting near them while looting. The elevated structure on the west side of the zone typically has plenty of good items, so if you drop in the zone as a team, two players can take this on to prevent too much separat

Burglar's Best Friend, on the other hand, Https://Apexlegendsfans.Com/Articles/Catalyst-Apex-Legends-Ferrofluid-Fortress-Queen.Html will be the ability that truly saves the team in tight situations. There are tons of uses for creative players to deploy this ability in combat. Loba can throw her bracelet much higher than she can jump, so that makes the character perfect for acting as a sniper. Just use the ability to instantly climb a building and scope the surrounding area for enemies or other vantage points for the team. If rushed by another team, this ability is great for either avoiding fire or counterattacking. Players could throw their bracelet far away and hide somewhere, or even teleport to an advantageous spot behind or next to enemies. This makes for easy flanking or pinching maneuvers if coordinated with teamma

When Apex Legends first came out, Bunker was a popular spot for Caustic players as he could set his traps and make it difficult for non-Caustics to survive the drop. But now, as more people are playing Caustic, it’s less than ideal as a drop location. It typically doesn’t have a lot of loot and the narrow hallway makes players susceptible to grenade s

The R-301 Carbine has always been a safe and reliable choice in-game and Season 5 didn't change that. It's the one assault rifle that most players feel comfortable with thanks in large part to it having rather low kick when shot. When playing the best thing to do is work on fully kitting the gun while looking for an R-99. Having both will give you the flexibility in both mid-range and close-quarters combat, and if you feel the need to add a sniper, all of the R-301's attachments will transfer over to the R

Ultimate Ability- Black Market Boutique: Once Loba activates her Ultimate it will place a device on the ground that can be used to teleport nearby loot of the player's choosing to their inventory. It has the same range as Eye For Quality, and each player can only grab two items per deploym
