It’s a worthy endeavor, and introducing Solos as a limited time mode is ideal. In order to combat the potential for an all-Pathfinder or all-Wraith meta, Respawn could introduce some character adjustments beyond slight damage- and speed-related nerfs and buffs like the ones it introduced at the beginning of Season 2 . Even with adjustments that increase incoming damage by 5% for Wraith, Pathfinder and Lifeline, this minor reduction didn’t appear to affect players’ choices at the competitive le
Respawn Entertainment announced that it will soon introduce Solos as a limited time mode in _ Apex Legends _ . This revelation follows speculation that a previous Electronic Arts statement referring to a major event involving "one of the most fan-requested features since the launch of Apex" was simply an option for no-fill squa
Metro Exodus is a diamond in the rough here in terms of its gameplay and story, with the other releases this week falling agonizingly flat in one area or the other. While Apex Legends is being universally lauded for its impressive blend of frenzy and strategy, as well as for its revolutionary ping system that makes teamplay easier and more integral than in any shooter before it, February has brought little else in the way of gameplay innovation. Crackdown 3 is a fairly mindless power fantasy sandbox, which is great for players seeking that experience, but disappointing to others due to how few additions it brings to the table when compared with the 12-year-old initial entry into the ser
One of the biggest challenges of Apex Legends Solos revolves around whether there’s enough character balance to prevent lobbies from being comprised of only one or two different characters. Recently, TheGamer shared its top _ Apex Legends _ character picks for players grinding toward wins in Solos . Now, it’s time to run down the characters that won’t stand a chance without major bu
"On 8/13 we'll be trying out a Solos Mode in Apex for a limited time," Jayfresh_Respawn, whose real name is Jay Frechette, posted on Reddit. "We'll talk more about Solos when it's live and you've had a chance to play it. For now we're going to put it out there and see what happens and what kind of feedback we g
The Respawn team buffed the character’s Eye of the Allfather Tactical Ability for Season 2, adding adjustments that improved its potential to briefly expose hidden enemies and follow their movements. This tactical is useful in a team play situation, as teammates can also learn enemies’ locations and hone in on them as a group. However, the fact that this tactical exposes the player’s own whereabouts fully counters any potential benefits in So
Gibraltar, as well as Caustic, both have Fortified Passive Perks that allows these characters to take 15% more damage and also prevents the movement slowdown that other characters get upon taking shots. Developed as a response to their under-utilization as players gravitated toward stronger characters, this still hasn’t done much to increase Gibraltar’s popularity with gam
However, the game has since been monetized poorly by Activision months after the New Game Mechanics released. Microtransactions are plenty now, and crazy things like red dot sights can only be obtained by meeting a price tag. Had it not been for those additions, Blackout might’ve been the best battle royale g
It’s also worth noting that in Solo Mode, one would expect far more 1v1 fights than in team play. As such, Gibraltar’s Defensive Bombardment isn’t as useful as it is in team play due to the fact that it’s unlikely anyone would want to use this on just one enemy. The end game could pose a rare exception, as this stage will have multiple opponents in a steadily-shrinking r

That leaves only Anthem , whose global February 22 launch will mark the only proper live-service competitor to Apex Legends . Though Anthem is unquestionably beautiful and has thrilling combat and movement that Crackdown developers ought to take note of, there is the unavoidable fact that it is EA's answer to Destiny , and the online loot-shooter genre Anthem 's obvious source material spawned is marred by a series of hard-to-avoid caveats. It does more to ensure that players won't be locked out of certain time-limited content by providing matchmaking in areas that the Destiny franchise neglects, but (as EA has clearly done its homework) it's difficult to not fear that launch content will prove much more sparse than initially expected, much as it was in both Destiny entr
