Another unique element to Apex Legends is the ability to revive downed allies. Like other battle royale titles, a player is downed before being killed off and they can hold a shield item in their inventory to prevent players from shooting them to finish them off. Enemies can however, get up close an employ a lethal execution animation (these are also battler royale fists). But even then, players can recover the tags of their downed ally and bring them to a revive point where they can then re-enter the match via a dropship, but without any of their loot. These layers upon layers add so much to the dynamic of the usual die and go back to the menu style of more punishing battle royale experien

The player moves to pursue the enemy by checking behind the rock, obstructing the line of sight even more as the player sneaks behind the wall. And, though this seamless escape would appear to require perfect timing, it's certainly possible given the time allocated the view obstructions. Further, it's also possible that a lag-related net code issue resulting in a frame rate stutter on the opponent's end may have bolstered their ability to retreat undetec

Finally, there's still a question as to why or how this would manifest out of thin air. As mentioned previously, Apex Legends players frequently experience in-game lag, and it's particularly noticeable in crowded early-game zones such as Supply Ship. It’s possible that this apparent manifestation reflected a lag situation common in the g

Highlights from the patch notes, shared by Respawn via Reddit , include a rundown of newcomer Octane’s abilities. The previously leaked Legend sports a Passive skill that lets him heal while not taking damage (+1 health every 2 seconds). Octane’s Tactical Stim increases his movement speed at the cost of health, but increases his resistance to slowdown attacks. Finally, Octane’s Ultimate lets him deploy jump pads launch characters across the

Apex Legends is a wonderfully exciting and fun shooter that's easy to play but challenging to master given all of its systems and the gameplay potential they offer. There may be issues of character and weapon balancing, and for some, the long time-to-kill rate may be a turnoff, but for anyone looking to squad up with exactly two friends (again, for free), it's shocking how Apex Legends Season 25 Legends plays so much better than other games in the mar

The dirt rises higher than one might expect, which causes it to appear in front of the storm as a visual obstruction. As the video continues, the environment around Lifeline produces a dirt-like trail as the player moves forw

Players love to execute each other. It's a nice way to rub your victory in their faces, and it looks cool to boot. But there's a time and a place for executions, and the middle of a gunfight is not one of them. You're better off shooting a downed enemy, because performing an execution leaves you wide open for attack. Plus, the animation is slow, so you're only wasting precious time by showing off. Save the execution for the last pla

Although we already knew some details about the Wild Frontier battle pass in terms of cost and rewards, the patch notes delve into the nitty gritty. Despite initial excitement, Respawn has already had to defend Apex Legends ’ relatively simple approach to Battle Pass compared to Fortnite’s offerings, so a complex look might help assuage fears that the developer is skimping on the latest upd

That downer aside, Apex Legends must be applauded for offering such a deep and polished experience from the get-go. Without any demo or beta tests, Apex Legends launched without a hitch and actually functions better than most full-retail triple-A online games. We can't emphasize enough how refreshing it is to have a polished battle royale game, that's also a polished triple-A online title, that's also F

**** Throughout the past few months, _ Apex Legends _ players have been sharing images that seem to imply there may be a ghost — or series of ghosts — lurking in the game’s backdrop. Even video game news site _ Dexerto _ weighed in on Apex Legends ghost sightings in a recent story titled, " Apex Legends players come across mysterious ‘ghosts’ in Kings Canyo

It happens in most games - a particularly overzealous player sees some specks in the distance, pings their location to their teammates, and starts shooting at them with an assault rifle. This is probably the worst thing you could possibly do. Sure, if you have a sniper rifle, then go crazy, but otherwise leave them alone. It's not only a huge waste of ammo, but it gives away your position to them and the squads in the nearby vicinity. Try tracking inst

When Wattson was first announced many people's first assumption was that she was going to be the poster girl for the game. A cute girl who could pull in both female gamers as well as males due to her cute and stylish fashion, intellectual capabilities, and overall adorablen
