Passively, Gibraltar gains a Gun-Shield that appears in front of him while he aims-down-sights. This helps keep him engaged in medium to long-range gunfights longer, and gives him the advantage. Gibraltar's first active ability is a Dome Of Protection, which is a shield large enough to fit your whole squad in, if need be. Gibraltar's Ultimate ability calls in a mortar strike on a targeted location. This is a great way to push a squad out of cover, keep them split up, or trap them in a build
Overall, I think Pathfinder is going to be one of the more niche Legends in Apex. He isn't going to be incredibly popular, but those who take the time to learn how to use him are going to be a pretty valuable asset to their t
First unveiled over the weekend by YouTuber TheQuartering , and then further confirmed by multiple media outlets and our own sources, Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale shooter described as a Titanfall spinoff of sorts, sans the actual Titans. Details on gameplay features are not yet official, but the full reveal comes tomorrow morning, Monday, February 4th at 8am PST on Twitch according to the newly launched Apex Legends Twitter accou
In order to perform a swinging grapple or slingshot, you will need to keep three things in mind: the grapple point, the strafe direction, and the direction in which you are looking. Ready for your physics les
News of Apex Legends' surprising release was leaked before Respawn probably initially wanted, but it did little to hamper the game's immediate popularity. While there are plenty of battle royale games in the market today, from PlayerUnknown 's BattleGrounds to the highly popular Fortnite , Apex Legends has impressed many since its free-to-play release. Receiving critical and fan praise for its polish and unique features for a battle royale title, like role-based Legends characters and an intuitive ping system, Apex Legends has already made its mark on the ge
By now, you have probably seen the mindblowing video of Twitch streamer, Triv , as he grapples his way to victory thanks to a crazy spinning maneuver using Pathfinder’s grappling hook. Thus, if you are merely using Pathfinder’s grappling hook as a way to zip straight from point to another, you’re doing it wrong. Pathfinder’s grappling ability can do so much more, including increasing your skiing speed and slingshotting across the map to take your enemies by surpr
Jumping is also a pivotal part of the action, especially for slingshotting to heights or distances that might otherwise be unreachable. However, the jump won’t matter much if you don’t time it prope
According to Respawn Entertainment CEO Vince Zampella (via: EA ) , Apex Legends achieved over 10 million players during its first 72 hours. Additionally, more than 1 million concurrent players were on the game's servers during this same period. As pointed out by Twitter user Benji-Sales , the release of Apex Legends also saw a rise in Respawn's parent company EA's stock prices. This rise has recuperated the company's reported losses during their quarterly earning report and the stock prices are now even higher than they were before the drop initially occur
Passively, Mirage automatically drops down a decoy and cloaks for five seconds when he's knocked down. This can buy you a little bit of time to crawl to safety. Mirage's first active ability sends out a holographic decoy of himself that, hopefully, draws enemy fire, giving you a clue as to where they are. Mirage's Ultimate ability releases a whole team of decoys, creating an incredibly confusing scenario for the enemy and giving your team a split seconds advant
By releasing Apex Legends on Monday, EA is risking this battle royale game cannibalizing the upcoming Firestorm mode for BFV which is slated for release this spring. Of course, these are two very different types of shooters, one set in the past, and one hyper-futuristic with verticality and wall-running in mind. The other interesting observation here is that EA's big bet and new IP, Anthem , releases in just two weeks. Anthem is a futuristic online-only game, so Apex Legends could bite into that as w
Depending on how well Apex Legends performs long-term, cool training a proper third entry in the Titanfall main series could very well become a reality once again, though it wouldn't be surprising if Respawn wanted to put a lot of their focus on the free-to-play battle royale title for the foreseeable future. Either way, it's certainly encouraging to see the company have a proper hit on their hands, especially with a game as polished and smartly designed as **Apex Legends
Titled **Apex Legends ** , the new Titanfall game is a battle royale that will feature three-player squads but, weirdly, no actual Titans (the large, playable mechs the series takes its name from). Instead it seems EA is focusing on the high-speed, kinetic infantry gameplay of Titanfall which is inspired from the developer's roots in Call of Duty (they were initially formed from Infinity Ward de
