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
Her ultimate ability, Black Market Boutique, creates a "death box" that draws in all the equipment in a wide range. Every player is allowed to take up to 2 items from the boutique. This ability is a great way to grab items quickly without having to search multiple buildings or death bo
"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
It’s easy to forget that the people making and supporting your favorite summer games are going through abrupt changes in their own lives, yet they continue to deliver new content to keep players enga
Though not as hot as it once was, The Cage will frequently set players up for a fight or two. There’s usually a decent amount of loot, though people in the higher part should be aware of snipers in the areas surrounding the struct
A new location that debuted in Season 5, Capacitor is a busy zone due to its central location, tons of cover, three charge towers and lots of loot. It’s an attractive option for squads looking to loot up and immediately fight. It also connects to Labs via a backdoor, making it easy for enemy squads to surprise those looting Capaci
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
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
Finally, poor Pathfinder's grapple has had its cooldown increased from 15 to 35 seconds. The developers explain in the patch notes that they don't think Pathfinder should be able to reposition so easily multiple times in a fight, and we tend to ag
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
Artillery tends to be busy, especially when the dropship enters the map from the north side. If you’re about to land here and there are other teams, remain close to your squadmates. Loot alongside them in the same building as there are usually several decent guns and white shields in each. Once your teammates have sufficient gear, the squad can take on other players as a t
Repulsor isn’t quite as busy as it was prior to Season 5, likely due to recent map additions, which people are still eager to explore. Players intending to drop here only to see numerous other squads can instead head to the area west of the zone overlooking houses and ravine. They can quickly loot and then make their way back east to take on teams that may not be fully healed due to fight
Most publishers deny Africa from having game servers but release statements condemning racism and promoting equality. It seems like black lives matter, but not enough to get the same services as the rest of the wo
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
Season 5 of Apex Legends introduced major changes to Kings Canyon. With the developers’ choice to demolish Skulltown and Thunderdome, the Respawn team removed two of the hottest Kings Canyon drop locations from the EA game cancellations
