The worry here isn't that they would all of a sudden stop caring, but rather that, if the game's player base falls off, they would quickly abandon ship. Respawn has been known to support their multiplayer games long after they should, so it isn't a real concern based on their track record, but it's always something to be conscious ab

Even when on the Shadow Squad, legend Fortified and Low Profile traits still apply . This means Shadow Legend versions Caustic and Gibraltar may survive attacks longer, while Shadow Legends versions of Wraith, Pathfinder, Lifeline and Wattson may die more quic

With the announcement of the Iron Crown Packs, players seem to have hit their limit of consumer exploitation. As a limited-time event, players only have a small window to collect that cosmetics that they may want, of which there are 24. Each player can complete a set of tasks to be awarded two of these packs, but the remainder cost about $7 each in real mo

Shadow characters can walk through the storm without taking damage. They can also use ziplines and Wraith’s portals. They are unable to open doors but are able to melee through them, and they can climb extremely high relative to the Legends. An understanding of what a shadow character can and can’t do will help guide decision-making during the m

Players have a very short window of opportunity to reach the rescue ship once it gets to the landing zone. The longer a player waits, the more likely there are to be Shadow Legends circling the zone. Get there as quickly as possible for the best chance of surviv

Caustic’s traps hurt undead Legends just as they hurt Legends. When Mirage uses his decoy, it appears red to Shadow Legends and is therefore effective because it's hard for these undead beings to tell the difference between Mirage and his decoy. On the other hand, Wattson’s Ultimate is less useful at the top 10 stage because there's no need to defend against bombardments and grenades. Crypto is also less useful because his skills require him to be stationary but Shadow Legends can easily spot him from a distance even if he is only partially exposed. To learn which Legends are best and worst for the mode, check out TheGamer's guide to this to

Apex Legends began with great promise, but its overall disregard for its consumer base started with bland cosmetic rewards and is currently represented by manipulative loot box mechanics. The progression tends to make one imagine their primary concern is getting as much money from their players as possible, rather than providing a quality experience and earning revenue through grateful play

This scene appears to take place in a plant lab. Interestingly, none of the other map areas show lifeforms beyond the characters. With no signs of life on the planet's natural terrain, t's possible this lab is a clue how the landscape may develop in the future. Should it be able to produce sustainable plant life that can withstand the map's harsh terrain, the arena may become lush as the season devel

Once again, we need to compare this to Fortnite , the dominant game in the genre, which treats its consumers with far more respect. There is nothing random about purchasing items in that ps5 game graphics. The item shop shows exactly what one will receive, theoretically leaving players satisfied with their purchase, and not let down at the randomness that comes with loot bo

The game's lore says Bloodhound may be part ba t. Look, I’m fine with robots and alien beings. But once it gets into animal territory, that’s pushing it a bit too far — mostly because I’m terrified of the human-animal hybrid anat

When it comes to almost anything in life, it's important to never get too high or too low on things to protect yourself. That being said, let's look at 5 reasons to be excited for A pex Legends Season 3: Meltdown, and 5 things that could worry

Most problematic was that the Battle Pass lacked the creative challenges seen in Fortnite , which make acquiring tiers quick and fun. This meant that, in Apex Legends , the only way to level up was to play the game over and over again with no specific plan in mind. The grind was real, the rewards were unappealing, so few bothered to continue as a res

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

The game differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th
