I hope Caustic finds love someday. But “death-obsessed mad scientist” isn’t a great look on a potential kissing partner. Plus I’d hate to think how this character might smell after a day of handling NOX gas. As far as the game’s most kissable characters, Caustic is a no-go. But seeing him in a dapper suit and watching him smile over something other than bloodlust might change my m
It’s a lot of fun to move quickly, but that doesn’t mean high-speed movement is always the best idea. For instance, increased movement speed also means these characters slide faster, so it’s possible to slide right by a Legend target when attempting to melee them at full sp
Some people say that a team’s reliance on the Pathfinder character is fine because every team can choose to have a Pathfinder on it, which makes it fair to all. This isn’t inherently wrong, but it’s still problematic. The game is designed to allow different team compositions to have different tactical advantages when playing together. The fact that teams so frequently rely on Pathfinder signifies an imbalance in the meta at a fundamental le
Shadowfall starts as a normal Solos Mode that takes place on a night version of Apex Legend s’ pre- Season 3 map . Other than the night map and a smaller player pool of 35, it’s similar to the Solos Mode that game developer Respawn temporarily added to the game in Season
The plastic arms are wide enough to hold any phone and you simply squeeze them onto the phone to hold it. There’s a button on the top that releases the phone with a really satisfying click and the ball joint arm lets you adjust your phone to any position you like. I often use my phone as a second screen when I game and I tend to drop it in my lap and lose track of it all the time. Now, I stick it in the mount on the left side of my desk and I can even keep resources like the PlayTFT.com item guide up on the screen, and its easier to
Imagine it’s down to two teams in Apex Legends. Your squad is posted up in a two-story shack right in the middle of Swamps. As the circle closes in, each of you crouch in a corner waiting to hear footsteps. Your Caustic has peppered the house with traps, you’ve reloaded all your guns twice and topped off your armor. That’s when you hear a Bloodhound ult as the final teams starts chucking grenades through the window. This is it, it’s now or never, just as the Bloodhound comes up the stairs you whip your mouse around and take the shot, missing by an inch because your mouse cord snagged on the back of your desk! You lose the round, and of course, uninstall the g
Every season brings with it a new competitor to the Apex Games, and the upcoming third season is no different. Crypto will be making his entrance, and, though not much is known in regards to his in-game abilities, Respawn did release an animated short giving a glimpse into Crypto’s life before his evolut
The worry here isn’t that they would all of a sudden stop caring, but rather that, if the game’s player base falls off, they would quickly abandon ship. Respawn has been known to support their PS5 multiplayer guide games long after they should, so it isn’t a real concern based on their track record, but it’s always something to be conscious ab
Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact
The rescue ship countdown begins the moment there are 10 Legends left in the game. By taking out other Legends early, players can ensure they have a large radius to get to the rescue ship when it arrives. A bigger play area provides fewer opportunities for Shadow Legends to spot still-alive Legends as they maneuver toward the s
This happens to all of us. People that play shooters typically avoid a wireless mouse because of latency concerns, but wired mice that run behind our desks get wrapped up in a tangle of cables from monitors, headphones, keyboards, and routers. It’s a problem that we most of the time don’t even realize happened. In the heat of battle, you may not even register your mouse got snagged. This will never be a problem again once you get the Bunker RGB from Coug
Within the game’s meta, with some major exceptions, there are few character abilities that can’t be replicated by some other means. For example, Gibraltar’s and Bangalore’s ultimates function similar to a supersized grenade barrage. Digital Threats give guns the same red highlights visible in Bloodhound’s ultimate ability. All characters can heal and regain shields, and Wattson and Lifeline simply have means to help players do it more quickly and efficien
