What Makes a Good Battle Royale?

What Makes a Good Battle Royale?

QBZ (or SCAR-L) are pretty similar and very stable assault rifles. These guns are a favorite to many players because of their sheer reliability. The arms are balanced from power to range, making them a choice of weapon for close and long-range batt

It is a very stable gun, especially looking at the power and stability. The biggest turn-off for players when using this gun is its lack of modification slots, as it only has space for a scope or sight attachm

Everyone at this point understands that the care package weapons will always be the most powerful in Apex Legends . When looking at every other weapon though it's important to know which ones stand close to a fighting chance. The Prowler with automatic fire via the selectfire attachment has the highest DPS or damage-per-second of any non-care package weapon. If it didn't rely so heavily on an attachment to make it viable it would certainly be higher on the l

Apex Legends has recently released the Season 12 Apex legends6 update and plenty of things have changed in Respawn Entertainment's successful battle royale. From guns to Legends, the meta has shifted and because of that, the tier lists ranking those things have shifted in interesting w

The Flatline was once considered to easily be the best assault rifle in the game, but the vaulting of the Anvil Receiver attachment took it down a notch. The difference between the Flatline and the Carbine comes down to preference, though the Flatline lacks the Carbine's accuracy and long-range effectiveness. It makes up for it though with solid damage output across the board and significantly favorable ammo depletion. A level 3 magazine on the Flatline results in it dealing 40 damage per heads

Do you remember the days when the Mastiff was a care package weapon you dreamed about wielding? In seasons since it has become a weapon obtainable via ground loot and thousands of players have been able to experience just how powerful it is. Since moving to be a ground loot item it did see a reduction in overall damage, but it didn't hamper its effectiveness. The great thing about it being ground loot is that it sports some of the nicest iron sights in the entire game, making the need for a sight attachment insignific

Speaking of sniper rifles, one can't help but bring up the M24 in this conversation as well. While the power of this weapon might pale in comparison to the AWM, there's no denying the fact that the M24 is still a useful weapon to have in a firefi

It seems like Season 6 in many ways is the time for light and small machine guns. Both the LMG and SMG classes have greatly improved from the faster time-to-kill. The R-99 is an incredible weapon, but due to it being exclusive to care packages it's hard to have it higher on the list. Along with its relegation to care packages its damage increased by a point, which added alongside its speed made it much more dangerous. It can rip through shields at lightning speeds and is a must-have if you come across

If you’re waiting on a team to burst out of a door and rampage, or an enemy team is about to get stuck in a building because of the closing ring, throw the silence projectiles at the doorways to block their exit. Even when it comes to an enemy team moving away from you in retreat, shoot projectiles at doorways or generally in the direction they’re moving - do this regularly and that tiny bit of damage from the projectile will eventually get you a kill or two, I guarantee

As mentioned earlier, the meta in Apex Legends that came along with Season 6 was a shift in power for light machine guns. The weapon that benefited most from this change has certainly got to be the Devot

Traditionally, a video game's life can span from six months to about two years. While gamers can continue playing the titles past that, most of the time games lose popularity or a company decides to shift focus onto the next ti

PUBG Mobile does a good job with this. You can play while on a bus or train ride to school or work (or even play in those places, just don't get caught). Good luck trying to do this on a PS4 or Xbox

The Peacekeeper, sadly, is now a care package weapon in Season 6. This means that it's a little bit rarer to wield from game to game, but it's still as powerful as ever. When calculating where weapons fall in a tier-based list it's important to factor in how easily obtainable a weapon is. It's useless if a weapon is meta-breaking if it can only be used in very select instances. It comes with 15 special shotgun shells, but with the power the Peacekeeper is packing, that's going to be more than enough to dismantle your f

The market for battle royale games seems to grow more crowded every day, and with every addition, the fight to keep players' attention grows more difficult. Having an intriguing gimmick or theme seems to have become vital to maintaining an active audience. Fortnite dominated the battle royale scene when Apex Legends released. However, rather than just make a straight forward battle royale, Respawn Entertainment set Apex apart from the competition not only by introducing a character class-based system but also by bringing the concept of respawning to the genre. This respawn idea was so popular that Fortnite ended up adding its own version of the mechanic shortly af
