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
Today, we’re returning to look at some more Cougar products, but this time, we’re stepping off the beaten path to look at a product line you won’t find on every gamer’s desk. Cougar is nothing if not innovators, and their line of Bunker gaming accessories: the Bunker RGB, Bunker S RGB, and Bunker M RGB, are the kind of sleeper products that solve problems you didn’t realize you had. As an added benefit, the bunker products also all have full RGB control, so my desk is starting to look like some kind of Dubstep laser light show, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Let’s get into these Bunker produ
On the surface, Mirage may look like a self-centered guy who only cares about himself. It turns out that he’s quite thoughtful and his fear of his mother losing her only remaining child ate away at him constan
This has several applications, like keeping an eye out inside of contested loot zones, alerting the squad when enemies have entered a particular building. It can also monitor entry points in defensive strongholds, or call attention to far off choke points for sniping opportunit
This is a solid combo for the team that plans to get sweaty. Both characters have abilities that allow them to reposition very quickly and dodge income bullets. Further, Octane’s health regeneration allows him to take some damage from the storm or distant sniper fire while Wraith’s phase ability can help her temporarily avoid damage completely in both of these situati
In our review for Cougar’s gaming accessories , we said that their keyboard, mouse, and headphone combo was the best bang for your buck you’ll ever find for quality gaming peripherals. For under $200, Cougar offers a quality mouse (which I’m still using today) a mechanical keyboard, and an incredible pair of headphones all with fully customizable RGB lig
This option comes with a strong caveat, being that distance-sniping tactics aren’t always effective. It’s not uncommon to find someone who can deals 1000+ damage with no kills because they’re sniping halfway across the map and can do just enough damage to annoy opponents, but not enough to get knocks or kills. Balance whether it’s worth it to take a sniper distance fight that will also give away the squad’s position, and also consider that the high-ground opponent may have powerful sniper rifles as w
Because there are so many advantages to an elevated map position, players should generally seek to have the high ground as much as possible and should have guns that work well at the right distance for the situation. There are exceptions, such as when playing as trap characters such as Caustic and Wattson, but even with those characters, many would argue that high ground advantage is superior to setting traps in enclosed spa
It’s unclear if Mirage has ever been off-planet, but it seems his ignorance to things happening on the same planet as him shows that he isn’t exactly cultured or concerned with things happening outside of his immediate vicin
The sticky suction cup on the Bunker products is strong, but on the Bunker S in particular, I had some issues since it is load-bearing. It can really only stick to a totally flat surface like the back of a monitor or a smooth computer tower. I at first attempted to stick it to the side of my Ikea desk, which is flat but slightly textured with faux wood grain, and it wouldn’t hold. I then stuck it to my lightly orange peel textured wall, and it held better, but it would still lose grip occasionally. Now, it’s on the back of my monitor and I’ve had no probl
If a team has circle advantage in a later phase of the game, there’s rarely a reason to try to take on a high-ground opponent. Because the circle’s closure will require them to have to drop down and push toward the circle anyway, fighting them when they’re on more level terrain is the way to go. If an opposing team waits until the circle is closing to move from the high ground position, this is a great time for a Bangalore’s or a Gibraltar to use their ultimate. This can provide a major impediment as the team must now face a barrage of damage within the circle or risk getting caught in the area outside the circle, which rapidly depletes players’ hea
Taken together, this means that the characters’ dependence on tactical abilities is greater than in other modes. Therefore, PS5 money guide duos should aim to play as characters that have abilities that aren’t too similar, giving them the most options for tactically-sound plays in any situat
