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
Mirage may present himself as a bumbling idiot, but much like Marvel's Deadpool, he's much more capable in battle than he gives off. Some legends like Pathfinder were weakened with the Season 5 update, but Mirage was one of the lucky ones who had an ability overhaul for the bet
Big names in gaming like Apex Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , star wars Jedi Sequel 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
Many of the legends in the game have rare animations that only come up ever so often, and many of them are where players can see references or easter eggs to other entertainment properties. Revenant has a rare animation tied to his Ultimate ability, where his hand is embraced by another hand then flipped over. This is a direct reference to a scene in 2016's Suicide Squad where the Enchantress embraces her human form and is a visual representation of the physical manifestation the witch has when she takes over the body of June Mo
It's unclear whether this legend is tied to the Syndicate, Hammond Robotics, or both. It could also end up being a legend tied to neither, but maybe one who was experimented on and had the ability naturally, before they infused Revenant with
Through a series of multiple buffs by the team at Respawn, Gibraltar has landed in a place where he's quite powerful. His dome shield can save his team in a pinch, and his Ultimate can rain down enough damage to wipe entire squ
You might be scratching your head wondering how on Earth the Prowler made it into the Top 10 when considering the best weapons in the game for Season 5 . It all comes down to a single attachment called the select-fire hop-up. When attached it allows players to turn the gun into an assault rifle. A fully equipped Prowler turns the unwieldy and overlooked gun into something quite formidable in battle. It shouldn't be your go-to weapon, but it can make its mark in a pinch with the right pieces in pl
PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS is another battle royale which can't go without being mentioned. While it wasn't the first to adopt the battle pass system, it was one of the first battle royale games and the one that many would attribute the popularity of the genre to. PUBG did eventually adopt the battle pass mode of play, but it's first few launches were a bit mediocre. However, the most recent " Survivor Pass " has been the most advantageous so
Again, no extra quests or anything like that are included, but there are 100 tiers for players to grind through, each having its own unique reward. However, if players aren't into weapon skins and would rather spend their money on a cool character outfit instead, this battle pass might not be the best cho
The R-301 Carbine has always been a safe and reliable choice in-game and Season 5 didn't change that. It's the one assault rifle that most players feel comfortable with thanks in large part to it having rather low kick when shot. When playing the best thing to do is work on fully kitting the gun while looking for an R-99. Having both will give you the flexibility in both mid-range and close-quarters combat, and if you feel the need to add a sniper, all of the R-301's attachments will transfer over to the R
You may be wondering who does the voice of Revenant as it feels like it has a certain cadence and gravitas to it that feels familiar for some reason. Well, the symbol of death is voiced by Darin De Paul. At first, that name might not mean anything to you, but the talented actor has an established footprint in the industry. He's voiced Reinhardt in Overwatch, J. Jonah Jameson in Marvel's Spider-Man, Calus in Destiny 2, and even Owl in 2019's Game Awards Game of the Year winner, Sekiro: Shadows Die Tw
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
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
