However, a Solos Mode is a curiosity in this game, given that the game has its genesis in team play. Team compositions seem designed to balance one another out (if not always effectively), allowing players to combine their characters’ unique skills to become champions of the arena. The goal in having multiple characters is that there is some variance on the battlefield, which is something that’s in jeopardy in a Solos M
Only sixteen players are dropped into each match for this game, and as they complete certain tasks, currency is awarded that can be used to get equipment or specific upgrades. Unfortunately, the game didn’t have the polish or originality that other battle royale games that came before it did, which led people to play this one less. It eventually went free-to-play and remains that
Octane's ultimate ability allows him to throw down a trampoline that can be used by friends or foes and launches people in the air as they come in contact with it. If the person using Octane is strategic and skilled enough it can be used in several ways to create real tactical advantages on the battlefi
A potential leak through datamining has revealed what Apex Legends may look like in the future, with new abilities and a number of Legend characters. These may be old concepts that have not been developed, or they may be far al
In the modern age, there's an obsession with a younger generation to perform incredible feats and post them to Youtube in hopes of getting tons of views, subscribers, and eventually money. Octane is exactly this and in the world of Apex Legends , he would film and post his insane stunts so everyone could see what he was willing to sacrifice to do something that's never been seen or attempted bef
The sound design in this game is spectacular. Many players insist that you need to play the game with headphones, as you can easily tell what's happening around you. You'll be able to hear footsteps and other audio cues, but perhaps the most important noise you'll ever hear in this game is a shattering so
However, the developers shut it down to turn it into a battle royale. The game has been criticized for losing what made it unique in favor of trying to cash in on the trends of the gaming industry. That said, there are some things that it does w
Speed hacking: We do currently have anti-speed hacking in Apex Legends Linux Legends, but it’s not being as effective as intended due to a bug that we believe we’ve identified and will be addressing in our next server update. Will provide ETA for it when I have it. Working to get it out A
This is something that is important in pretty much all multiplayer shooting games. Staying still is a disaster waiting to happen. If you want to survive, you need to constantly be on the move. You never know who's coming up behind you, and you can never be sure if someone's got you in their sights. Constantly moving is even more important when you're playing a game like Apex Legends , where speed is a huge fo
Battle royale games are seemingly inspired by The Hunger Games . People go into an arena and are forced to survive. One person comes out. Of the battle royale games, The Culling seems to take the most inspiration from the popular book ser
Quality of life includes d-pad navigation for menus and increased input customization. For example, players can now swap the actions of the bumpers/triggers on controllers. The much-touted hitbox issue has been addressed with better adjusted boxes for Gibraltar, Caustic, and Pathfinder. One neat addition is Apex Legends ’ newly added support for Razer Chroma peripherals. Razer’s line of illuminated keyboards will now shine certain colors in reaction to actions performed in game. An example is that the keys will shine the same the color as the player’s skydiving smoke trail. Colors will also flash when an Ultimate is ready, change when firing or taking damage, and m
It almost seems as though each character was designed with solo play in mind, given that the only character with an ability that’s no longer useful at all in a Solos Mode is Lifeline. Though Lifeline will no longer be able to leverage the ability to quickly revive teammates, she still has a fast heal as part of her passive, which is extremely helpful as a solo pla
Dying Light: Bad Blood takes the mechanics and formula from Dying Light and applies them to a battle royale game. The spin on this one is that there are only 12 players. However, the environment is another obstacle that they’ll have to overcome to get on
Plenty of developers have jumped on the battle royale bandwagon , but which of these many battle royale games comes out on top? If they were put in a big arena, who would be the last man standing? We’re ranking the best battle royale games of all time and stacking them against each ot
As the player count dwindles, the battles get much more intense, with players using massive dinosaurs and dragons to wage epic battles until the last man is standing. It’s downright exciting to watch. If you manage to play with the right people, it can be one of the more memorable battle royale ga
