If levels truly are split, the game can come down to a situation where the end of the game depends on whether a player has full health or a Gold Knockdown Shield, which lengthens the amount of time they can take storm damage without dying. Further, a player playing as Wraith won’t take damage in the storm while phasing, and players in the character’s portals also don’t take damage while in it. These seemingly minor advantages can be the difference between a win and a l

But Pathfinders can not only get to places faster than others; they can also get to places that are simply unreachable by others. High ground has a major advantage in this game, not only allowing for a larger field of view and making it harder for enemies to spot the high-ground player, but also increasing the potential for headsh

Those who managed to reach level 110 were gifted an alternate version of the level 100 R-301 skin with this one going for a gold and white design accompanied with the name The Golden Rampage. It's pretty much a recoloring of the initial skin but offers a polar opposite aesthetic for those who dig the white and gold color combinat

The first notable issue came in the form of an underwhelming, uninspired, and grind-heavy Battle Pass for its first season of play. Like other games, their version of the Battle Pass contained 100 tiers of unlockable cosmetic items, but these were nowhere near the quality that one would expect from such a popular g

Character ideas might include an addition with something similar to Wraith’s portal. This could include height, and allow the player to reach places that they don’t have to travel to physically before setting the end of the teleport. To balance it against Pathfinder, it could be more limited in distance but allow height that rivals the zip line’s maximum vertical

For starters, there are several areas of the map that are impossible to reach without the help of a Pathfinder. Additionally, there are other areas of land that are accessible to non-Pathfinders only by using a redeploy balloon. And finally, there are also elevated areas that become impossible to reach without a Pathfinder in a small cir

That said, if a player is confident in the team’s ability to aim and critically hit its opposition, getting as high as possible and taking advantage of environmental elements such as rock formations and plants that give cover is a strong way to counter a mountaintop camper. A Kraber is the ideal weapon in this situation, but both the Longbow with the Skullpiercer and the Triple Take with the Precision Choke are effective as w

Fortnite is on track to earn $3.5 billion this year in revenue by often treating its consumers with respect, and Apex Legends could have taken a slice of that pie were it not so focused only on having consumers spend in the game through predatory practices. This kind of behavior can only last for so long before even the most devoted fans of the game decide that they have had eno

The design is primarily gold armor with accents of black and grey. It reads more like a set of raid armor from Destiny 2 more than it does a skin for a legend competing in the Apex Games. Gibraltar is rarely spotlighted or talked about so any way to get him noticed is always a welcomed addit

Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the PS5 game Mods, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact

It's strange when a battle pass for a game offers the best weapon skin in the entire thing for simply purchasing the battle pass. The Intimidator skin for the Spitfire light-machine gun turns the beefy powerhouse into what looks like a deep ocean-dwelling mons

The skin is called Jade Tiger and takes a lot of influence from ancient Chinese antiques and armor. It is very reminiscent of the jade beetle and the mix of green and gold makes him pop on screen. If you're looking to move undetected in King's Canyon you might want to avoid this s

When Apex Legends first came out, many agreed Pathfinder was one of the worst characters. While hit box issues were part of the problem, there was also a sense that his abilities didn’t match up to damage-dealing ultimates like Bangalore’s or enhanced health and shield protection like Lifel

It’s worth knowing that seasoned players may anticipate a flank, so try to consider secondary ways to flank the opponent that might catch them off guard, such as coming at them from unusual positions or flanking from two separate locations at o
