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

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

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

**Apex Legends ** may not be the Titanfall 3 some fans were hoping for from developer Respawn Entertainment but it's the best battle royale game on the market. Respawn and publisher Electronic Arts' surprise release is instead a spinoff of the Titanfall series but barely resembles the mech-heavy, wall-running g

For instance, Pathfinder has a unique set of skills that many find make this character a superior player for competitive play. During the recent ESPN EXP Apex Legends Invitational, nearly every professional team had a Pathfinder on the team in every game. In several cases, Pathfinder’s zip line specifically aided in a team’s

Octane represents the disabled community as well as Latinos who both often find themselves unrepresented in most modern video games. His last name is pretty well known and is the first half of his parents largely successfully business, which we'll touch on la

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, and worse, you could be inhibiting your teammate who DOES have a gun compatible with the Skullpiercer. Pay attention to what does w

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

This composition is the embodiment of speed within the game and is built to catch players off guard. With Mad Maggie’s wrecking ball leaving speed pads and Ballistic’s ultimate granting a speed boost, enemies will struggle to react quickly against this kind of offensive. This composition is ideal for players who struggle to sit still, and can almost guarantee players high kill, high damage gam

It can be used as both a retreat device as well as a tool to give you leverage and the high-ground during an aggressive instigation of combat. Using it to get to ziplines is also another pro-style maneu

As with any game, it’s best to play as a character that the player feels comfortable playing. But these four characters’ abilities have some clear advantages in Solos and may be worth trying as players battle for the status of apex Boost fps Champ

Pathfinder’s Passive Ability is useful as it allows the player to locate the match’s next circle before it manifests. However, in Solos, this is only going to be useful when there are no enemies around. In a lobby against 59 other teams of one as opposed to 19 other teams of three, there’s no one else to protect this character while a player is tracking down and using the bea

Players looking to use a Legend from Assault, Support, and Controller class can give this comp a go. Caustic is an extremely viable Controller legend, and he can help reinforce the defenses in a building. Alternatively, he can box enemy players out and use his Ultimate to gain a strong gunfight advant

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

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
