Respawn entertainment has also already clearly outlined its future plans, and Apex Legends is designed to be modular in a way that we can see plenty of interesting events and tweaks coming. Imagine a mode with larger squads, different gear, or changes to the map. It’s all possi
**Apex Legends ** may not be the Titanfall 3 some fans were hoping for from developer Respawn Entertainment but it’s the best battle royale game on the market. Respawn and publisher Electronic Arts’ surprise release is instead a spinoff of the Titanfall series but barely resembles the mech-heavy, wall-running g
Mela Lee might not be a voice actress you’re immediately familiar with based purely on her name, but that doesn’t mean you haven’t heard her before. In addition to voicing everyone’s favorite Apex Legends medic, Mela Lee recently took on the role of Jade in NetherRealm’s Mortal Kombat
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
Well, it turns out she uses her winnings to fund the Frontier Corps, in hopes of allowing the organization to spread even further and allow it to help even more Frontier communities. It makes sense that Lifeline is putting herself on the line in hopes of helping those who can’t help themsel
Another unique element to Apex Legends is the ability to revive downed allies. Like other battle royale titles, a player is downed before being killed off and they can hold a shield item in their inventory to prevent players from shooting them to finish them off. Enemies can however, get up close an employ a lethal execution animation (these are also battler royale fists). But even then, players can recover the tags of their downed ally and bring them to a revive point where they can then re-enter the match via a dropship, but without any of their loot. These layers upon layers add so much to the dynamic of the usual die and go back to the menu style of more punishing battle royale experien
But it’s not just about improving what already works from the battle royale genre since Apex Legends adds many all-new features too. Matches are fast and usually completed in less than 20 minutes. At the beginning of a given match there’s a dropship players jump from, like any other battle royale, but in this one players jump together as a squad and one player is designated the “Jumpmaster” to keep them together. Players can manually separate from the pack of course, but it’s a smart change to enforce the idea that Apex Legends is a truly a squad-based game. There currently are no solo or duo mo
After playing Apex Legends for a few hours, you quickly learn that this free Game rewards is all about mobility, climbing, and quickly moving through whatever terrain and obstacles stand in your way. Often, the players that can move quickly through a town or large building are the ones who succeed. Sneaking around, taking alternate routes, and surprising your enemies is the name of the g
Bloodhound is surrounded by mystery and for awhile players were unsure what their gender was. The easiest assumption was male has the outline of Bloodline seemed more masculine and their voice isn’t necessarily high-pitched. It turns out in another move towards inclusivity and diversity Bloodhound is non-bin
She can do this by healing them with her abilities and allowing the team to retain their healing supplies, as well as giving them items via her Care Package ultimate. If you’re skilled with a firearm you’ll be the bringer of both life and de
And then there’s Wraith, whose ability to phase essentially makes her temporarily immune to both bullet and storm damage. Wraith also appeared as part of every team in almost every game at the ESPN EXP Invitational, as did Wattson, due to her ability to abate enemies with her traps and restore shields with her ultimate abil
The Hot Zone is the initial area on the map with incredible loot. Naturally, teams flock to it in the hopes of obtaining high tier armor and weapons. And there’s nothing worse than a new player going to it and getting downed in the first thirty seconds while their teammates are on the other side of the map. We understand that dropping there makes for a good learning experience, but if you want to train, play with friends and not with rand
Potential ideas include slowing down the regeneration of Pathfinder’s zip line, introducing a way to tear down the zip lines similar to the way players can break Wattson’s fences, or introducing a grapple gun-type tool in the environment that allows other characters to grapple a limited number of times. Wraith may be a bit tougher, but perhaps certain player attributes, such as Caustic’s gas, can cause the character to still take damage while in the void. Of course, it’s worth noting that players are likely to push back against such major nerfs to either of these favorite charact
