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

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

This fun, bouncy castle of a zone based on Octane ’s jump pad ability has a lot of good loot, including a high-tier item in the ring of fire in the center of the zone. However, because of its good loot and its mobility options, it frequently attracts numerous teams, particularly if it’s directly off the dropship’s p

Though relatively quiet, because of its close proximity to Labs, Hydro Dam and Repulsor, it’s common for squads that have looted those areas to move to Swamps to see what else they can find. It’s also very easy to get separated from teammates here, so keep an eye one anot

Thank you for putting the hours in when you could be sitting at home, feeling as helpless and hopeless as many of the rest of us feel. Maybe there are days when you feel down, yet you keep showing up for people like me. I’m grateful to all of you for pushing through.

Her scarlet red hair and matching eyeshadow do a great job of contrasting her outfit and making her face become the focal point of the entire thing. You better hope that you're not her target because you don't stand Legend Abilities Adjustments a cha

Thanks so much for continuing to work as hard as you can to roll out updates, fixes and changes while grappling with the challenges of COVID-19, including those that may be impacting your own mental hea

"If we're gambling on a team in terms of the performance, how can they guarantee that they're going to win?" he says, pointing out the nature of the battle royale format that puts 20 teams side-by-side in a single ma

Her tactical ability, Theif's Best Friend, is a short distance teleport. Loba throws her bracelet like a frisbee and instantly teleports wherever it lands. It has a 25 second cooldown and a long animation recovery, but it's a great tool for getting in and out of trou

About a month ago, after a week-long delay due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, Apex Legends introduced Season 5: Fortune's Favor. It’s the most successful season launch to date , according to a recent press release. Anecdotally, I can attest to the fact that I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game since the beginning of the pande

Of course, streaming is the quintessential work-from-home job. Save for a few outliers, few professional streamers and video game players are in a hurry to move to big cities that require a high cost of living. Dazs ended up in New York for a completely unrelated rea

The theme of Season 5 seems to be centered on exploration, discovery, and riches. Loba's Huntswoman skin has the skilled assassin looking like a Victorian bounty hunter. The forest green and cream outfit is accented by the dark brown leather of her accessories and brings the entire look toget

The Mastiff has received a nerf to damage, fire rate, and spread. Fully kitted, it feels a lot like the original Mastiff though, and with an increased projectile speed the gun is going to be an absolute monster to play agai

Bloodhound is the second of the 3 immediate battle pass reward skins for Season 5. Their skin falls in the middle as it is much more cohesive than Wraith's but not as stellar as the one Revenant received. Bloodhound's is mostly gold but has plenty of red and blue accents in and around their torso area. It would have been neat if Respawn recolored their raven partner, but regardless the Gilded Claw skin is still quite impressive. They have enough gold on them to make a sizeable offering to O

A video recently emerged on Reddit showing exactly how toxic random players can be. A player downs two enemies only to get knocked before a teammate kills the third. The teammates then refuse to revive the downed player. To see it and know there are few consequences for these actions is frustrating, to say the le

But he points out that _ Apex Legends _ has, on the whole, attracted older players who tend to be more mature than some of the competitive _ Fortnite _ players. For him, this signals more sustainability as a competitive game. Plus, it helps that the Respawn team remains continually committed to improving the g

Still, when you’re a player known for playing a specific game, the choice of whether to experiment with new games doesn’t come easily. At the moment, _ Apex Legends _ has significantly more mainstream interest than the _ Battlefield _ series, which presents a much wider audience. However, a streamer who makes a big transition risks becoming a smaller fish in a bigger pond, which can lead to them losing subscribers and even endorsement de
