The Hammerpoint Rounds for the Mozambique and P2020 were initially exciting prospects. Introduced alongside the highly overpowered Disruptor Rounds, the idea behind Hammerpoint Rounds was to lend some utility to what were otherwise practically useless and frequently ignored weap
With the Charge Rifle splashing onto the scene in all of its fiery, imbalanced glory, giving the Wingman and Longbow back their signature golden hop-up might even help restore some balance and variety to long-ranged com
Respawn's done really well when it comes to rolling out awesome new characters to choose from, so hopes here are pretty high. Leaks and rumors abound, with one potential candidate being "Revenant," who might actually be the spooky game master of the Halloween Shadowfall event. Other possibilities include " Reckoner, " with an interesting set of shield-stealing and damaging abilities, and a mysterious newcomer referred to as "Lo
Since Apex Legends debuted just over a year ago, PUBG has undergone several new map additions. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4: Blackout also saw some updates, though few of them worthy of significant discussion beyond the game's core players. Fortnite had a black hole that put it front and center for a short time before the game tapered off and out of the broader public consciousness once again. But few things get gaming Twitter talking as much as an Apex Legends character reveal trai
It's impossible to say whether Anthem would have fared better had it not been competing Apex Legends . __ The two are very different games. One is a PvP game, while the other is an RPG with gunplay mechanics. However, they share similarities in that they’re both sci-fi FPS games that rely on gunplay and tactical strat
This isn’t literally a finisher, but rather, a workaround for knockdown shields. True, it’s generally best legends ranking to leave knocked enemies be while you finish their teammates. However, they will always give away your position. And you might actually need their armor in tough situations, like a Third Party’s attack. So, here’s a little tip for finishing them off quickly—a knocked enemy cannot turn as quickly as you strafe. Slide to the left, convincing them to point their shield at you, then promptly slide to the right. Unless they drop their shield altogether, they won’t turn quickly enough to stop your bullets. Fooling them into turning the wrong way, trying to anticipate your movement, consistently wo
However, one only needs to look to Destiny to know those two game styles have overlapping fanbases. People play Destiny for PvE strikes and raids, but they also play PvP modes such as Crucible and Gam
Beyond providing an alternative to Apex Legends' base gameplay, it'd make a great opportunity to explore the lore and story behind the Apex games and its characters, and considering it takes place in the Titanfall universe , there's a lot for Respawn to play with in terms of id
Anthem quietly rolled on to EA Access and Origin Access in September. But even with that, it's not quite the same as Destiny 2 as players have to subscribe to these services in order to access this cont
Portal’s Chell had the right idea—now make GLaDOS proud. Obviously, Wraith’s ability to phase while she extends a portal is highly useful for crossing dangerous terrain. Your entire squad can escape the sharpest eyes of a sniper. However, Wraith’s portal is also useful for downed teammates. Instead of defending another knocked teammate who tried to be a lone wolf, offer them a portal to saf
Cloud-based silencing: When Silence hits an enemy, it deals a small amount of damage. It’s because its debuff happens after it explodes on contact. When the projectile explodes, it bursts into a cloud that lingers for 10 seconds. Getting hit by the cloud or walking into it triggers the silenc
It’s hard to know what to make of another iteration of Anthem . Certainly, people won’t flock to it in droves due to name recognition or a relationship with the franchise. Without that going for it, Anthem 2.0 will have to be a groundbreaking game if it wants to attract a fanb
It's a gamble to launch any two major releases within a week of each other. However, it was especially bold of EA to bring on some of Twitch 's biggest names to play Apex Legends , spending a rumored $1 million to have Ninja play on stream . In doing so, Anthem fell by the ways
It's possible the decision to release Apex Legends before Anthem was an intentional move to draw attention away from what EA knew would be a disastrous launch. Maybe in the weeks leading up to Anthem 's release, executives realized the game would be critically panned. After the beta period, players were quick to note how "broken" the game f
Caustic has many straightforward uses—leaving traps at various doors, at the end of ziplines, and so forth. However, there are also defenses that some might not realize. If a teammate has been downed, drop a Gas Trap and shoot it to create a cloud of cover while you revive them. And while Caustic’s ultimate grenade might seem like a distinctly offensive ability, it can also be used for perfect cover. From a distance, throw your ultimate directly onto downed teammates. This can prevent the enemy from securing their kill while you calculate a plan. It’s basically a poisonous Bangalore tactical. In choke points and tighter Rings, this mindset can also allow your squad to push, heal, or re-posit
