No Ghosts In Apex Legends

No Ghosts In Apex Legends

Octane's real name isn't just a play on the high-octane type of stunts he loves to perform, it's a play on his real first name. Octavio Silva, more widely known as Octane is a legend of Latino descent and helps diversify the Apex Games in several w

Lifeline’s Ultimate Ability, which gives a care package that frequently carries Epic and Legendary items, may be tough to use effectively in Solo Mode. While players who main Lifeline are well aware of the dangers of alerting enemies to their positions when calling down a Lifeline package, it seems the danger with be even more pronounced when the player is up against 59 individuals all looking out for themsel

Introduced in Season 2, Wattson is currently one of the game’s more popular characters among skilled players. Her Ultimate Ability, which restores shields for anyone within its immediate radius, serves twofold as a way to block grenade spam and Ultimates from characters such as Bangalore and Gibral

Imagine being so addicted to getting an adrenaline rush that you think using a grenade to set a course record is a great idea. Octane did exactly that, and it resulted in him losing both of his legs. Luckily for him, he had friends capable of putting him back toget

Players looking to take fights early in the game should run this comp. Lifeline and Conduit can replenish the team's shields and health. Ballistic can take point as his revamped kit will serve those with a knack for gunfights better. On that note, Ballistic’s smart bullet deals slightly more damage. More notably, his Sling weapon now levels up with a player’s shi

The bigger concern is Mirage’s Psyche Out Tactical Ability, which allows the character to deploy a decoy. This once-useful skill became less useful in recent months as people who play the game frequently can easily tell a decoy from an actual Mirage character simply by the way it mo

This is a well-balanced composition for players who want to get in and out of fights quickly. Alter’s Nexus acts as a fantastic safety net, allowing players to fall back if things get too heated. Thanks to Loba, the team will never run out of ammo or heals. Pathfinder, on the other hand, can scan for care package weapons and help the team rotate or get to a vantage point quic

When Octane decided a course record was more important to him than his body he found himself in a world of hurt. It also didn't help that he now had no legs and would likely live the rest of his days in a wheelchair. Luckily for him, his friend Lifeline helped him get situated with a pair of bionic legs that he can now replace at a moments not

Sometimes, in a 3v3 team play situation, Mirage players can get away with this in the confusion of a fight, where bullets, smoke, and gas all contribute to the chaos. In a 1v1 Solo Mode situation, it’s hard to say that the decoy will do much beyond allowing the enemy to infer a Mirage’s location based on the direction the decoy r

Apex Legends may never reach the sustained heights of Fortnite, but Respawn Entertainment has stated they're committed to supporting the game. The various legends in the game all bring a unique bit of representation and personality to the world and very few make an impression like Octane. He's the wild and crazy adrenaline junkie who burst on the scene with his bionic legs and edgy appeara

It’s a worthy endeavor, and introducing Solos as a limited time mode is ideal. In order to combat the potential for an all-Pathfinder or all-Wraith meta, Respawn could introduce some character adjustments beyond slight damage- and speed-related nerfs and buffs like the ones it introduced at the beginning of Season 2 . Even with adjustments that increase incoming damage by 5% for Wraith, Pathfinder and Lifeline, this minor reduction didn’t appear to affect players’ choices at the competitive le

Should any spirit-like beings ever appear in the game, it’s far more likely the team would turn to a sci fi-based approach, perhaps drawing upon the inter-dimensional creatures that appear in Wraith’s void ju

He's very lucky that it only blew off his legs because a matter of inches could have resulted in him losing much more of his body. Maybe he'll have a counterpart who lost their arms and is introduced as a legend in the game in the fut

This squad is all about smoke. Caustic creates smoke that hampers enemies' vision, damages their health despite their shield condition, and slows them down when inside a building. Bangalore has her own smoke capabilities that create a veritable blanket of smoke no one can see through. Making matters more interesting, apex legends freelance Gaming Legends has removed the Digital Threat optic from ground loot. As such, the only real counter to Bangalore’s smoke is using a recon legend, like Bloodhound or Cry

When you look at Octane the first thought running through your mind is that he likely came from a less than stellar household. He reads like the type of kid who had it rough growing up and used high-adrenaline stunts as a way to forget about things and find happin240630-N-GD259-0013.JPG
