**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
Bloodhound is known across the Outlands as a world-class tracker and hunter, so people know what they’re in for when they come across them. In a culture centered around the type of blood sport that is the Apex Games, you know you’re special if you stand out as the best of the b
Respawn has finally implemented a reporting feature for cheating and abusive players as well. People can report offending players either from the spectate view after dying or when viewing team Banner Cards in the Squad menu. Some bugs that have been squashed in the update include Pathfinder’s zipline failing to deploy when jumping, the ability to shoot while downed, and getting disconnected when unplugging a control
The game’s monetization model involves selling premium currency that can be spent on (very expensive) premium character and weapon skins, and the game’s loot boxes (called Apex Packs). The Apex Packs contain everything from skins, to emotes, lines of dialogue for characters, and scrap that can be used to craft cosmetics not yet acquired. The best part of this take on the Overwatch loot formula is that there are no duplicates, and the rarity levels of everything are outlined on the official Mad Maggie apex legends Legends website. In the future, there will be battle passes for seasons (taking from the Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege playbook) that last three months where limited time cosmetics can be earned or purcha
**Apex Legends ** followed in Fortnite ’s footsteps by launching its own Season, dubbed Wild Frontiers, on March 19. On top of showering players with goodies in the form of cosmetics and a new Legend, Respawn has made a host of technical chan

Quality of life includes d-pad navigation for menus and increased input customization. For example, players can now swap the actions of the bumpers/triggers on controllers. The much-touted hitbox issue has been addressed with better adjusted boxes for Gibraltar, Caustic, and Pathfinder. One neat addition is Apex Legends ’ newly added support for Razer Chroma peripherals. Razer’s line of illuminated keyboards will now shine certain colors in reaction to actions performed in game. An example is that the keys will shine the same the color as the player’s skydiving smoke trail. Colors will also flash when an Ultimate is ready, change when firing or taking damage, and m
The other big title that has been announced for Square Enix’s E3 press conference is Marvel’s Avengers (formerly known as The Avengers Project ), which is a game that is being made by the teams behind the Tomb Raider series __ and the recent Deux Ex tit
There are eight playable characters (called “Legends”) in Apex Legends at launch, and each squad member must choose differently. Two of the starting eight Legends must be unlocked through earning in-game currency or spending real-world money. Apex Legends embraces a totally free-to-play model on its platforms (Origin on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox O
Apex Legends is a wonderfully exciting and fun shooter that’s easy to play but challenging to master given all of its systems and the gameplay potential they offer. There may be issues of character and weapon balancing, and for some, the long time-to-kill rate may be a turnoff, but for anyone looking to squad up with exactly two friends (again, for free), it’s shocking how Apex Legends plays so much better than other games in the mar
E3 2019 is around the corner, and there are plenty of game announcements to look forward to – but which games should people expect to see? Sony might be sitting at home, but other developers have stepped up and are promising bigger and better shows than e
Paradox Interactive is also one of the developers slated for the PC Gaming Show, which means that more footage of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will likely be shown. New information about the game has slowly leaked out recently in the form of clan reveals, but there hasn’t been much gameplay footage shown…
One of the main things these characters have in common is that their abilities frequently give away their exact locations at range, either through sound or visual cues. Contrast that with characters like Wraith or Bangalore, whose abilities serve to obscure their locations, and it’s easy to see why the characters outlined above are inferior choi
