Apex Legends was the new battle royale game from developer Respawn that came out of nowhere. However, this approach seemed to work for the better. With class-based mechanics based on games like Overwatch , Apex Legends is quickly finding its audie
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
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
We have lots of other work going on behind the scenes and this remains high priority for us. We won’t be able to share many specifics of what we’re doing but we’ll strive to provide updates on progress for the things we can talk ab
While this characters’ benefits are fairly obvious from a team play perspective, the question lingers as to how useful this Ultimate, when paired with the character’s Tactical Ability to build strings of low-damage stun fences, would be for a solo pla
Realm Royale is fun, as it plays around with different abilities, but it has received criticism for being too derivative of Fortnite . Still, there’s a lot of fun to be had with this game, but be careful. It’s possible to glitch the game, making it so you’re just a sitting target until someone takes you out or the storm gets
In the current state of the game, Wraith is easily one of its most valuable players. Her ability to quickly reposition using Into the Void, paired with a Dimensional Rift portal that allows her and other characters to travel longer distances in the blink of an eye, will also prove valuable in solo com
**Apex Legends ** followed in Fortnite ’s footsteps by launching its own Season, dubbed Wild Frontiers, on March 19. On top of showering players with goodies in the form of cosmetics and a new Legend, Respawn has made a host of technical chan
This is one of the most infuriating comps to go up against in the game. In this, Wraith's portals will be used to bait enemy players. The advantage to this is that enemies often have no way of knowing what the other end of the portal looks like, so they're much more likely to fall into this t
The island players fight on is riddled with natural disasters. They’ll have to adjust to those as well as watching their backs. The goal in this game is not to be the last man standing. Instead, it’s to get off the island by making it to an evac helicopter. However, the chopper can only save four people. It then becomes a race to make it off the isl
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
Players can now report cheaters they encounter in-game and it’ll be sent directly to Easy Anti-Cheat. You can do this from either the spectate view after dying or when looking at your team’s Banner Cards in the Squad

Wild Frontier represents Respawn's first major step in turning the already stellar apex current gun meta Legends into a game worth sticking with for the long haul. As the battle royale scene continues to heat up, it'll be intriguing to see how Season 1 performs and what future Seasons look like after
PUBG was the first big battle royale game. When released in early access, it took the internet by storm with many Youtubers and streamers giving it a shot. PUBG has since gotten excellent support and was even picked up by Microsoft to be a timed exclusive for the Xbox One (when not including
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
Game developers shouldn’t shy from risk, but they should also be prepared to make adjustments should this mode not work out as expected. In the meantime, casual players can stick to the standard three-player team mode, likely with the satisfaction of knowing that toxic random squad mates will be happily pub stomping over in So
