For the longest time, the Hemlok was seen as a burst assault rifle that should only be used as a last resort. In Season 5, however, it has quickly ascended in the meta to be a clear and decisive top ten choice. The Retrofitted skin makes the gun feel even more high-class and pairs nicely with the numerous new legend skins the season introduced. Whenever you pair a maroon color with gold and black accents you're already playing with house money in regards to creating a design people will want to acquire and eq
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 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
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
One solution is the one that Overwatch implemented, which allows players to endorse other players at the end of each game. In that game, endorsements only reflect positive attributes, such as Sportsmanship, Good Teammate and Shot Cal
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
The Triple Take is an interesting sniper rifle that seems useless until it's used by someone very skilled. Scarab's Bite is the Season 5 skin for the Triple Take and it feels like an homage to Widowmaker of Overwatch . Purple and black are the primary colors of the design, which happens to have speckles of red sprinkled throughout. You may not be using this gun much in Season 5 as it isn't a top tier weapon, but it may be neat to roleplay as Widowmaker in the odd chance it's the only gun you h
Some may scoff at this entry as both the skin and weapon seem to not be befitting of this list at first glance. The Hemlok has come into favor in the Season 5 meta, so it belongs on this list in some capacity. As for the skin, it's a tougher sell. Is it easy on the eyes and heavily desired? No, not really. It does however feature an organic looking design that makes it look unique and also plays into the lore of the franchise as a whole. With all of that considered it seems that the #7 spot made all too much se
As applied to randoms, this optional metric would be a terrific way to incentivize good behavior. Perhaps the result of numerous positive endorsements could be a guaranteed legendary item, a unique skydive emote or a special profile ba
Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game that had a pretty strong launch but fell from grace shortly after due to it being slightly too niche. However, it has maintained a pretty loyal fanbase and has stayed fairly consistent in terms of gameplay. The Apex Legends Battle Pass is 950 Apex Coins, or roughly $10, and the rewards are worth more than that monetarily. However, the character skins that can be obtained through the battle pass are a bit lackluster, and Sparrow abilities have been for some time now. The best skins for characters can be found in the item shop and can be purchased with real money, or can be obtained through opening Apex Packs, which also cost real money, or can be obtained through grinding lev
The Mastiff has received a nerf to damage, fire rate, and spread. Fully kitted, it feels a lot like the original Mastiff though, and with an increased projectile speed the gun is going to be an absolute monster to play agai
Her passive ability, Eye For Quality, lets her see purple and gold items through walls. It can be pretty difficult to determine what the item is at a distance, and most of them are hop-ups, but it helps to know which buildings are best to l
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
