When talking to professional gamers you'll find that characters that allow for improved movement and mobility will always be favorable in their eyes. Wraith lets players engage and get aggressive with the enemy, but at the same time provides options for Overwatch Hazard being able to retreat saf

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) popularized the battle royale format in gaming. Moreover, unlike usual deathmatch modes in games like Activision 's Call of Duty , PUBG 's map constantly evolves with new hazards, different environmental elements, and weapons scattered around the terr

Over the past few years, battle royales have become the primary game mode when it comes to online competitive gaming. The popularity of games like Fortnite, Warzone, Apex Legends , and PUBG shows that fans can't seem to get enough of this concept. Even industry titan Call of Duty moved to cash in on the trend with Warzo

Elsewhere, the patch introduced a new Ranked mode for solo players, meaning you can now climb the rankings on your own. It's a good time to start, too, since this marks the beginning of Season 9 and ranks have been reset along with leaderboards. Here are the new rules for Ranked Mode Seaso

Many modern video games consider sensitivity issues when it comes to gender expression and identity. As the percentage of women and gender-nonconforming people in the gaming industry trends upward, it seems only natural to expect they would bring their diverse experiences to their craft.

The map also features helicopters that fly on an automated route across the map and into the highlands, which you can only reach via helicopter. The choppers also drop off care packages that you can break open if you happen to be on the ground when one falls. These can feature full-body camo, ghillie suits, and a camo backp

It's no surprise or coincidence that new characters in games with expanding rosters often enter the mix in a pretty powerful state. Rampart is no different and her passive and abilities place her near the top when looking at the tier list for Legends in Season 6. The update for the season made it so light machine guns are favored in the meta and should be the primary weapon of choice. Rampart's passive helps her reload faster and gives her extra bullets, which are crucial in a meta centered on guns that reload slowly and carry a large magaz

For many years, games like Gears of War, Halo , and Call of Duty carried the torch when it comes to shooters. While all of the mentioned games (and countless others) have stuck to the traditional formula for over a decade, the success of the battle royale genre has caused nearly every shooter to shift how they develop their online experience. For example, Call of Duty 's multiplayer has stayed very similar since 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare . Since the release of Fortnite, however, Activision has made multiple attempts at creating a Call of Duty battle royale. While Call of Duty still offers its conventional multiplayer, it is clear that Warzone has become a primary fo

In _ Super Mario Kart _ , players could choose from Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Princess Peach, Toad or Koopa Troopa. The characters had different strengths and weaknesses. For example, Bowser and Donkey Kong took longer to accelerate but had a faster maximum speed.

It’s tempting to immediately open fire on enemies that you spot, but sometimes its better to take a moment to consider. Could there be enemies closer to you that you could accidentally alert? Could you have a better chance of taking out that squad if you waited until you got clo

Lifeline is still to this day arguably the best support Legend in all of Apex Legends , and her recent buffs only add to that case. She can now dual-revive via a new mechanic, which in the right hands can swing entire team fights if done accordingly. Lifeline can now also grab tons of extra loot as 20% of all supply bins will be blue. She's fallen out of popularity simply because healing supports are never the most interesting or entertaining, but she still has a case for herself and thankfully hasn't been nerfed into obscur

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

Revenant was one of the rare cases in which a new character addition wasn't something that broke or altered the game. He was quite lackluster and his usefulness was as close to being non-existent as possible. Since then he's seemingly received buff after buff and those changes have made him a competent legend that's finding himself on plenty of team compositions. People should never underestimate the fact that he can crouch-walk faster and climb higher than any other legend in the g

Battles should start as soon as players meet the ground, and PUBG remains consistent on this end. After all, there's that feeling of suspense that remains as players chute or dive their way to a zone with the majority of the other players. Moreover, players have to stay sharp with things in the environment they need to get to as soon as they drop with other play
