Like Dark Souls, Apex Legends contains many "hidden" mechanics, and it expects you to learn as you go. And that's not a bad thing. Unfortunately, this causes a rift between the experienced players and the newbies. How dejecting is it to see your level 5 player with one kill next to a level 85 adorned with achievement bad

Well, it turns out she uses her winnings to fund the Frontier Corps, in hopes of allowing the organization to spread even further and allow it to help even more Frontier communities. It makes sense that Lifeline is putting herself on the line in hopes of helping those who can't help themsel

We have lots of other work going on behind the scenes and this remains high priority for us. We won’t be able to share many specifics of what we’re doing but we’ll strive to provide updates on progress for the things we can talk ab

However, one of the little known facts about this game is that you can actually slide indefinitely while moving down a hill or a slope of any kind. What this means is that you can just keep sliding down a hill without stopping, all the way to the end. Smart players can use this to their advantage, as sliding is much faster than runn

The Hot Zone is the initial area on the map with incredible loot. Naturally, teams flock to it in the hopes of obtaining high tier armor and weapons. And there's nothing worse than a new player going to it and getting downed in the first thirty seconds while their teammates are on the other side of the map. We understand that dropping there makes for a good learning experience, but if you want to train, play with friends and not with rand

When you're looting or switching out weapons, it's important to keep moving. Even when it feels like you need to stand still to do something, there's usually a way to move around slightly from side to side, which makes it harder for you to be hit by an enemy. This is a tactic used by Fortnite players and PUBG players, who "wiggle" from side to side anytime they find themselves station

We previously mentioned the fact that sniping is seriously hard in this game. Players move very quickly, and just hitting the target is hard enough. For these same reasons, head-shots are also very difficult to pull off in Apex Legends . In fact, these shots are so difficult that a lot of professional players choose to simply aim for the chest and body inst

You're much more likely to hit something this way. And if you're smart, you'll aim for the upper chest, which means you still have a slight chance of hitting someone in the head if they move in a certain way. Sure, there might be veterans out there who can pull off head-shots with certain weapons. But the main priority in this game is simply hitting the target, which is definitely hard when everyone's moving so f

Mela Lee might not be a voice actress you're immediately familiar with based purely on her name, but that doesn't mean you haven't heard her before. In addition to voicing everyone's favorite Apex Legends medic, Mela Lee recently took on the role of Jade in NetherRealm's Mortal Kombat

New players may feel the need to pick up everything - after all, you never know when a Skullpiercer will come in handy! The only thing is that certain items are only applicable with certain weapons, and that Skullpiercer is useless if you're using a Devotion and Peacekeeper. Picking up random items is a good way to needlessly clog your backpack, 100t Phony and worse, you could be inhibiting your teammate who DOES have a gun compatible with the Skullpiercer. Pay attention to what does w

When you read about Lifeline's personal story and journey from the daughter of war profiteers to being a world-class healer and contributing member of the Frontier Corps, you scratch your head as to why she's in the Apex Ga

It may sound cliché on the surface, but Lifeline growing up as the child of wealthy war profiteers helped her shape what she wanted to do with her life. As she grew up and began to understand that her family's wealth came at a price, she quickly came to resent them and everything they stood

Only sixteen players are dropped into each match for this game, and as they complete certain tasks, currency is awarded that can be used to get equipment or specific upgrades. Unfortunately, the game didn’t have the polish or originality that other battle royale games that came before it did, which led people to play this one less. It eventually went free-to-play and remains that

A lot of new players like to play cautiously. Therefore, they will sidestep around a massive ledge and find a way safe way down rather than just jumping. There is absolutely no fall damage in this game, so you are free to jump from any height, including from the supply ships. It helps keep the game flowing, and it allows for quick escapes if you find yourself in trouble. Seriously, go against your instincts and don't be afraid to j

Battle royale games have become one of the biggest and most popular genres in gaming. With most of them free to play, they offer an easy route for anyone to jump in, then monetize their success by having skins or extra goodies players can get for their avat
