The Pit is frequently busy. It’s not always ideal because the squads have limited places to move, little cover and few ways to escape. Still, with highly mobile characters or characters with protective tactical abilities such as Bangalore’s smoke, Revenant ’s silence or Gibraltar’s dome shield, players can emerge from this zone victori

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

The Slum Lanes can be a bit of a maze to newer players but the good thing about this area is that it can be easy to get lost when meeting up with other players. Unless someone is using Bloodhound or Crypto, this area is easy to get the jump on others and escape if needed. The area has a lot of loot chests here as well but they are spread out and most of the loot is just lying on the floor in each building. Not a lot of players come to this location and is a good place to go if avoidance of the pack is the strat

Season Five of Apex Legends has introduced players to the brand new legend Loba . She is a treasure hunter with teleporting abilities, as well as an ultimate that can summon nearby loot for her and her teammates. Loba has access to some of the more interesting abilities that Apex Legends has seen yet, but many players may not exactly know how to use her properly or fight against her abilities as another character. This guide is here to make sense of Loba and all of the new ferrofluid Abilities added to Season F

Drop locations will have a small variation depending on where the dropship is entering the area. For example, the ship might be coming by way of the Artillery and then the next game it can start from the Hydro Dam. The important item to note here is that no matter where the ship enters the area, it's important to make decisions quickly as players have probably already dropped and are looting while decisions are being made. Time is of the essence here so let's show some of the best locations and explain why they are the b

Apex Legends does a good job as a free-to-play game at offering its players skins for both weapons and legends worth chasing after. You would think that Revenant would have darker-themed skins due to his murderous past, which he very much does. In addition to those though they also gave him 3 separate skins all inspired by the Egyptian god, Ra. It not only changes Revenant's coloring but gives him a bird-like head which is more akin to the depictions of Ra throughout Egyptian mythol

This tube-like area in Kings Canyon doesn't have too much loot but it's enough for a team of three to get and make due. It's a very good location to drop into as it has three exits all leading to other high loot areas like Slum Lane. This will allow the team to look at which location is under siege and either join in the fight or avoid it altogether. If meeting up with opponents here, there is not a ton of cover so going on the offense and small flanking maneuvers will be valuable tactics h

image.php?image=b19objects361.jpg&dl=1The same goes for Riot Games, Ubisoft, and most other publishers. They've all released statements claiming to support black people and end racism, yet Africa isn't part of their plans and isn't worthy of their services. They may bring up the old argument about a lack of players and lack of infrastructure, but that's simply untrue. Africa has a large, vibrant gaming community who have to suffer from constant connectivity issues to follow their passion. Both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Service also have functioning data centers in Africa to facilitate gaming serv

Tactical Ability- Burglar's Best Friend: Loba can throw the bracelet on her wrist in order to teleport to the location it lands. This can be used to teleport to hard to reach areas. This ability does leave Loba vulnerable for a few seconds before teleport

A simple location consisting of a few rooms and some floor loot, Market is a popular drop spot because of its central location on the map. If this location is at the earliest part of the dropship path, it’s almost guaranteed to be active. As an indoor space, this is yet another zone that’s good for making use of trap charact

Burglar's Best Friend is going to cause players the most trouble most likely. Since it is shaping up to be one of the best abilities in the game, that means that players will need to keep an eye out and ensure they don't get surrounded. If fighting Loba out in the open, they should keep on eye on her at all times. When she throws her bracelet, players will have a few moments to score some free hits before she teleports. Once she is gone, players should get to cover and hope she didn't appear behind them somewhere. If not she probably teleported up somewhere high to a vantage point, so players should keep their head on a swivel while they try to take down the enemy t
