Given the runaway success of the Disruptor Rounds hop-up for the Alternator and RE-45, as well as the classic headshot goodness offered by the Skullpiercer for the Wingman and Longbow, this is sure to be one of season three's less popular chan
On a recent day, a quick check on ten random popular Apex Legends Twitch streamers playing with different squad formations showed all but one playing on teams that had Pathfinders. Half were playing as Pathfinders themselves. Additionally, during the X Games Apex Legend s Invitational, which featured the best teams from around the world, almost every team in every ps5 Game trailers included a Pathfin
The rescue ship countdown begins the moment there are 10 Legends left in the game. By taking out other Legends early, players can ensure they have a large radius to get to the rescue ship when it arrives. A bigger play area provides fewer opportunities for Shadow Legends to spot still-alive Legends as they maneuver toward the s
Shotguns, sniper rifles and pistols like the Wingman are great for taking out zombies in one shot. But near the end of the game, players may find themselves having to take on two, three or even more Shadow Legends at once. Because these undead Legends have very low health, a spray-and-pray weapon such as an SMG can be effective for spamming bullets and taking down several enemies in a short amount of t
The drone, as of now, doesn't take any damage from the ring, and unlike an actual player, it only needs to make a one-way trip. Of course, the banner still needs to be within the drone's flight range, but it can successfully retrieve a player that would otherwise need to be left beh
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
Frequently, near the end of the game, there’s no good way for a low-ground player to match an opposing team’s high ground position. This may be because the final circle formation leaves no way to match the opponent’s position without venturing into a high-damage storm, or that any means to reach the opponent is heavily guar
Yes, finally, we're going to address the elephant in the room. Season three takes us away from the familiar locale of King's Canyon and into the new arena of World's Edge , a varied and dynamic landscape with more than a few surprises in st
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
As of this writing, the drone can't actually ping or specifically identify pieces of loot . However, it's easy enough to tell what most of it is by sight alone, and you can always just ping the location and, if it's a particularly important piece of gear, communicate what you've found over the microph
It has to be admitted that the Alternator was just a wee bit overpowered with the Disruptor Rounds attachment, though the removal of the Skullpiercer is a little more difficult to justify. Regardless, for better or worse, these hop-ups seem to be out of rotation for the sea
It’s a lot of fun to move quickly, but that doesn’t mean high-speed movement is always the best idea. For instance, increased movement speed also means these characters slide faster, so it’s possible to slide right by a Legend target when attempting to melee them at full sp
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
As far as in-game loot options, a grapple gun with only three or four uses or a single-use zip line loot drop could be strong opportunity to counter. As a random Epic or Legendary loot drop, item rarity could make it so that people would still have to work to obtain these it
Every season brings with it a new competitor to the Apex Games, and the upcoming third season is no different. Crypto will be making his entrance, and, though not much is known in regards to his in-game abilities, Respawn did release an animated short giving a glimpse into Crypto's life before his evolut
Apex Legends has its third season around the corner, and there are plenty of things to be excited about, but also a few things that fans should be cautious about. The third season is called Meltdown, and, on top of introducing a new legend, it will come with a brand-new battle pass, hopefully full of really cool unlockable rewa
