A potential leak through datamining has revealed what Apex Legends may look like in the future, with new abilities and a number of Legend characters. These may be old concepts that have not been developed, or they may be far al
This Legend is the stuff of nightmares. Area denial and the constant threat of being firebombed would drastically shift the meta, likely demanding that mobility take a front seat in selecting characters. This Legend had better come with a skin for The Trashcan
And while we're on the topic, you can absolutely interrupt an enemy's execution. Like I said, performing executions are very slow and they leave the player wide open for attack, so you might as well take advantage of the opportunity. But beware, attacking an enemy snaps them out of their attack animation, allowing them to defend themselves and/or perform counter attack against you. So you better make it count - a nice shotgun blast or two should do the tr
Wraith - Jumping between dimensions makes Wraith one of the trickiest opponents to go up against. She is also able to open up rifts for her teammates, but be careful as other players can go through them as w
Pathfinder is an often overlooked Legend, mainly because the majority of people sleep on his tactical and ultimate abilities. Why shoot zip lines when you can rain down missiles, you know? However, his grapple is actually very effective in the right hands and can be utilized offensively. Pathfinder can grapple enemy players, which of course swiftly closes the gap between their respective locations. Follow this up with a quick shotgun blast, and you can see how useful it can
We previously mentioned the fact that sniping is seriously hard in this game. Players move very quickly, and just hitting the target is hard enough. For these same reasons, head-shots are also very difficult to pull off in Apex Legends . In fact, these shots are so difficult that a lot of professional players choose to simply aim for the chest and body inst

When you read about Lifeline's personal story and journey from the daughter of war profiteers to being a world-class healer and contributing member of the Frontier Corps, you scratch your head as to why she's in the Apex Legends money guide Ga
Talk about the potential for controversy and frustration. A good sniper can often make it feel as though one has not played a game, they merely ran along until the sniper spotted them from a distance. This is an extreme, but one wonders about the reception to squads with this Sniper toolkit and a competent Pathfin
One assumes that there are always projects like new Legends in development, however given that we have only seen two DLC characters added since the launch of the game earlier this year, it does seem like a rather long list. Below is a mock-up of what a roster could look like in the near future, and a list of every datamined Leg
This game relies so heavily on speed that even a small boost is a big deal. Most players nowadays will tell you that unless you're shooting, you should holster your weapon.

It's unknown how deeply this last-minute choice made from the top-down has affected Metro Exodus ' sales, but it generated enough online backlash among outraged PC players to drown out any positive news about the g
