While the Swift Mend health regeneration ability is helpful, it works slowly as compared to Lifeline’s health drone. Additionally, hiding and healing with a Med Kit is typically much more useful than waiting for full health regeneration after taking dam
Whether it’s the result of having watched too many ghost hunting shows over the years or it’s simply an urge to do a deep dive into the game’s lore and its meta, the team at TheGamer felt it compelled to take a close look at the footage to figure out what, exactly, players are seeing — or not seeing — in these vid
It’s a worthy endeavor, and introducing Solos as a limited time mode is ideal. In order to combat the potential for an all-Pathfinder or all-Wraith meta, Respawn could introduce some character adjustments beyond slight damage- and speed-related nerfs and buffs like the ones it introduced at the beginning of Season 2 . Even with adjustments that increase incoming damage by 5% for Wraith, Pathfinder and Lifeline, this minor reduction didn’t appear to affect players’ choices at the competitive le
Octane’s Stim Tactical Ability gives players a 30% speed increase, but it requires health to use and, like Bloodhound’s Ultimate, it’s noisy. Contrast this to Bangalore who can move more quickly when taking damage and doesn’t make additional noise leveraging this ability. Typically, a Bangalore can also hide their exact whereabouts in smoke for an added layer of protection. And, while Octane’s on-demand speed boost can be useful in situations, such as getting loot at the start of the game, the 10% health reduction may not be worth it to the average player—particularly when players can use Pathfinder’s grapple for similar purposes while taking no health l
Gibraltar, as well as Caustic, both have Fortified Passive Perks that allows these characters to take 15% more damage and also prevents the movement slowdown that other characters get upon taking shots. Developed as a response to their under-utilization as players gravitated toward stronger characters, this still hasn’t done much to increase Gibraltar’s popularity with gam
This means players can run three decked-out weapons with Ballistic. Additionally, his Ultimate’s cooldown is not as long as that of some other legends, meaning the team will revel in enhanced movement and faster reloads in most fights. Conduit’s Radiant Transfer can be upgraded to heal two Legends, allowing players to partake in fights in quick success
However, a Bloodhound running their Ultimate in a Solos game becomes a moving target. The noisy ultimate means multiple enemy players will hear the character, allowing them to team up on the Bloodhound from all different directi
Highlights from the patch notes, shared by Respawn via Reddit , include a rundown of newcomer Octane’s abilities. The previously leaked Legend sports a Passive skill that lets him heal while not taking damage (+1 health every 2 seconds). Octane’s Tactical Stim increases his movement speed at the cost of health, but increases his resistance to slowdown attacks. Finally, Octane’s Ultimate lets him deploy jump pads launch characters across the
"Wraith was the hardest character for me to find the focus on," he says in the video. "The voices in the head presented, like, a real problem because our game is a sci-fi game. It's not a fantasy… so it can't be, like, spiri
The opponent isn't extremely clear in the image above, but is extremely pronounced in the video. It appears as though the gun and its bullets caused a graphical interference that tricked the player into thinking the opponent somehow disappeared. It's also possible that some lag on the enemy's side contributed to this as well. One common result of lag is that it results in choppy gameplay, which appears to other players as short-distance teleportati
Players can tap into Alter’s Nexus even when knocked. As such, gamers can set up Alter’s Nexus before pushing a team. They can reinforce it with Caustic’s gas traps, should an opposition player take it, too. When knocked, players can fall back and rely on Lifeline for quick revives. This comp works well for players with a knack for fights as well as cagey te
The second video ( viewable here ) is also fairly straightforward. The first telling sign here is that the figure doesn’t seem to move like anything players have seen to date in Apex Legends . Instead, it appears on the surface of the storm as it moves before seemingly evaporating into nothingn
While players at the non-competitive team level play a variety of characters for different reasons, players vying for a Solos crown while playing as one of the game’s less-popular characters may not stand much of a cha
This squad is all about smoke. Caustic creates smoke that hampers enemies' vision, damages their health despite their shield condition, and slows them down when inside a building. Bangalore has her own smoke capabilities that create a veritable blanket of smoke no one can see through. Making matters more interesting, Apex Legends DLC Legends has removed the Digital Threat optic from ground loot. As such, the only real counter to Bangalore’s smoke is using a recon legend, like Bloodhound or Cry
