Octane has a steampunk inspired skin full of gears, pocket watches, and a big ol’ honking Flavor Flav clock on his chest. His helmet is also reminiscent of The Rocketeer , which makes us want to go watch that movie
Does the idea of leaving a bug behind as we plow into season four make for a hot take? You wouldn't think so, no. But given that this particularly problematic bug impacting an important aspect of gameplay has persisted for more than a month, it might be hotter than we'd initially susp
The Grand Soirée Arcade will feature seven special game modes that will be switched out every two days. Some of these are returning favorites, while others are entirely new ways to loot and shoot in Apex . These modes incl
Players who want to maximize Revenant to his full potential should pay attention to how this update reworks the rest of his sworn enemies. As an ability-canceler, Revenant needs to learn exactly how he can incapacitate his opponents in order to get the upper hand. And as Revenant, getting the upper hand almost always means jumping the gun on them - but how can players make this hap
When I learned Tyler " Ninja " Blevins wrote a book about how to improve gameplay, I was interested to see if his tips would actually help me get better at Apex Legends . For a fee amounting to less than two months of Mixer subs, I downloaded Ninja: Get Good: My Ultimate Guide to Gaming for Kin
It's safe to say season four has a lot of potential to right some wrongs of the previous season - and just as much potential to wrong some rights. What Respawn's going to do is anyone's guess, though the fans certainly have their own ideas on what worked and what didn't with season three. That said, here are five things we'd love to see in season four, as well as five things that Apex Legends is probably best off leaving beh
Mobility inspires stealth: Unlike other Legends, Revenant has Passive traits that boost his crouching and climbing mechanics, effectively motivating stealth-inclined movements in the game. Compared to other Assault characters, these qualities make Revenant an ideal assassin, perfect for players who love springing upon enemies for quick ki
Gibraltar's Defensive Bombardment packs a real punch when you are in a tight spot. Like with Caustic, Gibraltar's large size is a bit of an issue as he is an easy target, but that is why he has shields in his arse
Observant and sensitive to others, ESFPs are showmen who love to put on a show. Gibraltar is a defensive shield for his friends and an absolute unit to use against the enemy. Two of his abilities are shields to protect his squad in battle or during recovery, but he does have a crazy weapon up his sle
Silence (Tactical): Thanks to Revenant’s special tech, he can throw a device that acts as a weak grenade. Aside from damaging enemies, this disables all the abilities of enemies caught in the blast for a durat
Should your attack fail, using a smoke bomb or artillery strike can allow you to disengage from the fight and retreat to assess what went wrong. This combined with the fact that Bangalore gets faster when under fire means that she is a hard woman to get the jump
Your random Tinder date may eventually block you, but it’s unlikely they’ll ever scream at you to save them and then, once you’ve revived them, let you die and teabag your death box and send you a message telling you they hope you die in a f
Taking Ninja’s advice, I’ve tried different Advanced Echo relocation strategies: Dropping hot every game, carrying shotguns only, consistently playing a single specific character (which is, by the way, something he also recommends to maximize your success with that character). Spoiler alert: I die a ton! It's tough to win a sniper fight with dual EVA-8s. But ultimately, this helped me learn how to better use these weap
DUMMIEs Big Day (January 26-27): Nobody seems to know what this mode is all about. If we had to take a guess, judging by the fact that everyone seems to look like a brightly colored crash test dummy, it’s likely that this mode makes it so you can’t see which characters the other teams have chosen. It’s either that, or it may be the first mode that involves A.I.-controlled bots for players to shoot freely. Guess we’ll find out when the mode goes live on the 26
Bloodhound is all about locating and tracking enemies so he can get the jump on them at the perfect time or maneuver into the ideal spot for attack. It is very difficult to get the jump on Bloodhound and he is not one you can easily escape from once he strikes. INTJs will have a wonderful time playing as this brilliant hun
Silence becomes a scanning tool: Unlike other games with a silencing mechanic, Revenant’s Silence (Tactical) has his grenade explode with a small AOE. This technically gives him room to hit multiple opponents at a time and debilitate the enemy’s strategy. In situations where Revenant’s team has encountered an enemy but has no idea about their positions, a well-placed Silence throw can not only reveal the general direction of an enemy but even give Rev’s team time to start a counteratt
