Most teams still feel the need to have one member use Lifeline, but that may change as more and more people get used to Loba. There comes a point when healing isn't good enough and teams will need additional abilities Lifeline doesn't have to turn the fight in their fa

Love them or hate them, battle passes have been around for a few years now, and with every new game release there seems to be a battle pass tucked in there along with it. Starting with **Fortnite ** in 2017, the battle pass system has been used by almost every major battle royale as a way to generate revenue by rewarding players with cosmetic items for their in-game level progression. The battle pass system has proven to be an effective way to keep players playing for a game for longer (and to keep payers spending money) that it has spilled outside of the Battle Royale genre and into other mainstream games such as Rocket Leag

If you wouldn't have shown people near the game's release that Gibraltar would become a top-tier legend in the game they would have likely laughed at you. He was once considered unplayable as his sluggish movement speed and giant hitbox made him almost impossible to win w

Not only is Wattson one of the fan favorites aesthetically, but she's also placed herself as a go-to selection when it comes to both casual and competitive play. Her late father would likely be very proud of her for t

Imagine being the greatest hitman in one of the most dangerous crime syndicates to ever exist. Before he was turned into a murderous robot, that's exactly what Revenant was. For 300 years he's been carrying out hits for the Syndicate and has functioned as more machine than man through

A new hunt will unlock each week on Tuesday, with 9 in total across the season. That means you'll need to collect 45 Treasure Packs in order to access all 9 Hunts, or in other words, play at least 1 game for 45 days across the sea

Datamining is terrible if you're a developer, but if you're a fan it can provide plenty of useful facts that would have never hit the public eye. For instance, thanks to data mining it was discovered that Revenant was initially going to be named Blackout. This is typical in game development as characters often get several passes when being named. It also revealed that his ultimate ability at one point would create a doorway in a wall. The implementation of it was likely riddled with bugs and glitc

The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a movement to end racism and promote inclusivity. Companies that previously sat on the fence have been forced to take action and prove they are progressive and are moving with the times. Over the last few weeks, there has been an unprecedented show of support for the black community, with most publishers releasing statements condemning racism and taking action to ensure inclusivity and equality. Many popular games even have "Black Lives Matter" banners to affirm this stance. Something these companies are conveniently forgetting is that ALL black lives matter, not just American black li

We don't know much about the Season Quest, but we do know how it starts. As you loot, a small treasure will occasionally pop out of random chests. Players can collect 1 of these treasures every day and it instantly awards XP, Crafting Metals, or Apex packs. Every 5 Treasure Packs you collect will unlock the ability to play the weekly hunt, and new PVE miss

Warzone's battle pass offers players 100 tiers of loot progression that lasts for a limited amount of time and can be purchased for the all-too-familiar $10. While the W arzone experience is one of a kind, the battle pass leaves a lot to be desired. There are different operators available, but they aren't very unique visually, and the weapon blueprints all have that same standard Call of Duty feel, with only a few standing out from among the rest. However, the big selling point for the Warzone battle pass is that essentially players get their money back. The pass may cost 1,000 CP, but if the entire pass is completed the player will earn 1,300

If you're familiar with the Syndicate in the world of apex assault Class Legends than chances are you've at least heard of Revenant. During his introduction to the game, players witnessed him kill Marcos and Alanza Andrade, the people who happened to be Loba's parents. At the time she was a witness to the entire event, despite being no older than 10 when it happened. This has given her a lifelong mission of vengeance and she hates Revenant more than anything else in existence. Their relationship when on the same team is less than ideal and 100% uncomforta

class=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
