Though they look similar at first, there are massive differences between the two games, and both will probably cater to different types of players. While Apex Legends may not "kill" Fortnite , it doesn't show any signs of slowing down either and will grow to be an even bigger game than it already

The first person is usually the choice for shooters, because it gives a much greater feeling of precision and accuracy. First person definitely serves better for the main point of the game, which is shooting other players. While the third person view is needed for Fortnite , the traditional first person will feel much better to those used to shooting ga

Respawn could also strive to make sure that the lobbies are evenly distributed or, at the very least, not heavily weighted to consist of one character. However, that may pose challenges from a development perspective due to issues rerouting players to new servers based on their character selecti

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

It seems easy to imagine, then, that a random lobby would quickly become full of individual players who have all chosen the same one or two characters, knowing that these characters provide unmatched tactical advantages. And, going up against a lobby full of Wraiths and Pathfinders doesn’t seem like a fun prospect for someone playing a character like a Caustic, given that both Wraith’s phase and Pathfinder’s grapple make it easy for them to get away from Caustic's Nox

While it is certainly not a completely new thing to add to a video game, Apex Legends is the first major Battle Royale game to add different characters with different abilities. Overwatch is a great example of how having characters with unique abilities can make a shooting game extremely fun while also adding layers of complexity. Apex Legends allows you to pick your role and synergize with teamma

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

Another of the most obvious differences between Apex Legends and Fortnite is the perspective. Fortnite is played from the third person, which means that you can see your character. It allows for a wider range of vision, and suits the play style of Fortnite , where you constantly need to be constructing things all around you. Apex Legends is played from the traditional first per

Potential ideas include slowing down the regeneration of Pathfinder’s zip line, introducing a way to tear down the zip lines similar to the way players can break Wattson’s fences, or introducing a grapple gun-type tool in the environment that allows other characters to grapple a limited number of times. Wraith may be a bit tougher, but perhaps certain player attributes, such as Caustic's gas, can cause the character to still take damage while in the void. Of course, it's worth noting that players are likely to push back against such major nerfs to either of these favorite charact

And while we're on the topic, you can absolutely interrupt an enemy's execution. Like I said, performing executions are very slow and they leave the player wide open for attack, so you might as well take advantage of the opportunity. But beware, attacking an enemy snaps them out of their attack animation, allowing them to defend themselves and/or perform counter attack against you. So you better make it count - a nice shotgun blast or two should do the tr

Respawn has finally implemented a reporting feature for cheating and abusive players as well. People can report offending players either from the spectate view after dying or when viewing competitive team Tactics Banner Cards in the Squad menu. Some bugs that have been squashed in the update include Pathfinder’s zipline failing to deploy when jumping, the ability to shoot while downed, and getting disconnected when unplugging a control

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

One major strength that Fortnite has going for it is the ability to build. Players are able to deconstruct the world around them and gather resources. After gathering wood, metal, and brick, the players are able to use them to build structures around them. This simple mechanic opens up worlds of possibilities. Players can use their structures to reach new heights, get into otherwise inaccessible areas, and quickly construct cover for themsel
