That said, if a player is confident in the team’s ability to aim and critically hit its opposition, getting as high as possible and taking advantage of environmental elements such as rock formations and plants that give cover is a strong way to counter a mountaintop camper. A Kraber is the ideal weapon in this situation, but both the Longbow with the Skullpiercer and the Triple Take with the Precision Choke are effective as w

Even some of the more close-quarters oriented locales, like Capitol City, offer so much in the way of verticality that sniping from a rooftop perch is generally the go-to strategy. And that’s completely overlooking the fact that the newest sniper weapon, the Charge Rifle, is absurdly overpowered as of right

Thankfully, TheGamer ‘s here to help you get a head start on that. Keep scrolling to check out ten things you really ought to know before dropping in and taking on World’s E

In total, the pass provided only four new skins, and three of them were unlocked right away at level one. These skins had only the smallest of differences in their paint jobs, leaving most to wonder what the point was of releasing them in the first place. The rest of the items were bland, and in some cases, loot boxes, which frustrate players now more than ever as they do not know what they are receiving and are at the mercy of a random loot table select

The southern portion of the map in World’s Edge is dotted with locations that host flows of lava, and yes, they will do damage if you decide to stand around in them. They aren’t instantly lethal, however, and do surprisingly small amounts of damage over t

There’s a reason players call her “Wifeline.” Ajay Che is sarcastic and tough, but she’s also a compassionate and caring person. Her choice to be a medic proves she has a good heart. Pair that with a unique sense of style and her musical talents and she’s a total ca

Wattson is sweet, silly and super smart. In fact, she might just be the smartest woman in the Frontier — she did master quantum laser mechanics to create the Ring, after all. A charming engineer who’s friendly, calm and sciency but not Caustic-level mad? A chance to kiss her would be… _ electrifying

There are few benefits from being exposed on lower ground, so if there’s a chance to push, the best bet is to push to take over the high-ground position rather than trying to take the fight from below. This may mean following the opponent’s zip line, having a team’s Pathfinder throw its own zip line or climbing on ledges as quickly — and stealthy — as possi

The kindest way to describe the current state of Apex Legends is that it has destroyed its own potential in its pending death by a thousand cuts. One indicator of a game’s popularity is its viewership numbers on Twitch , which tell a story of how interested people are in watching the game’s content. Although not representative exactly of the number of players in the game, we can see a steady decline over the past six mon

Whether you’re looking to obsessively drop there every PS5 Game Tips, or avoid it like the second coming of the plague, that place is definitely the Capitol City. Though it’s a bit more spread out, it’s still densely packed with lootable buildings, most of them being multi-story skyscrapers that make for excellent sniper perc

Being a bit larger as whole, it packs in sprawling, abandoned cities, frozen, snow-covered locations, and a volcanic region complete with flowing lava. There are no supply ships to fight over, but there is a rad new loot-filled train that loops around the map. It’s an absolute blast to explore, and the change of scenery was definitely a long time com

In Shadowfall , undead players’ melee attacks do a whopping ~~158 damage each~~ 150 damage each. ( Update: The Shadow Legend melees do 150 damage, but with the Low Profile trait for Wraith, Pathfinder, Wattson and Lifeline, this amounts to 158. Since Gibraltar and Caustic both have the Fortified trait, these characters take 15% less damage. This means zombie melees grant around 133 damage .) If a Legend has only a while shield, this amounts to ~~a one-hit kill~~ . a one-hit kill for most characters. Therefore, it’s important to have at least a Level 2 shield early on in the game. The game’s supply ship and hot zones will almost always have Level 3 or Level 4 shields somewhere. However, players may have to fight other Legends for t

However, as players die, they come back as zombie-like beings who can use strong melee abilities to kill still-living Legends. These creatures, known collectively as the Shadow Squad, can’t use weapons and have very little health. But, they move at fast speeds and can down living players in one or two melee atta

The game’s lore says Bloodhound may be part ba t. Look, I’m fine with robots and alien beings. But once it gets into animal territory, that’s pushing it a bit too far — mostly because I’m terrified of the human-animal hybrid anat
