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

This Legend is the stuff of nightmares. Area denial and the constant threat of being firebombed would drastically shift the meta, likely demanding that mobility take a front seat in selecting characters. This Legend had better come with a skin for The Trashcan

Updated on May 26, 2024, by Prateek Pandey: With the introduction of Alter in Season 21, the game has seen drastic Legend meta changes. Alter’s tactical allows players to enter fortified buildings without triggering gas traps or getting caught in Wattson’s fences. Additionally, her Ultimate is a great safety net for players who like to play aggressively. The season update comes hot on the heels of the perk system update , which elevates a Legend’s Tactical and Ultimate abilities further. As such, players are bound to encounter teams utilizing unique playing styles and Legends to be the last one stand

A skilled player can do perfectly fine using the Longbow, but it's a bit slow. The damage per shot is very solid, but the DPS suffers greatly from the lag between shots, and it leaves your opponents a lot of room to get into cover for a quick heal. It's not a bad gun, but high DPS, high-pressure weapons result in decisive victories far more of

However, a Solos Mode is a curiosity in this game, given that the game has its genesis in team play. Team compositions seem designed to balance one another out (if not always effectively), allowing players to combine their characters’ unique skills to become champions of the arena. The goal in having multiple characters is that there is some variance on the battlefield, which is something that’s in jeopardy in a Solos M

For now, we can only wait and see if this datamined information is relevant, or simply old conceptional work that was never removed from the game. Once again, it would seem odd to have so many Legends in development considering the slow speed with which two have been released so

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

Much like the Hemlok AR, this SMG fires in controlled bursts, but puts out five rounds instead of three. It's incredibly difficult to manage without modifications, as the accuracy isn't great to begin with. Compounding it with an awkward burst setting doesn't do it any fav

This strange, triple-barreled shotgun-pistol hybrid handles poorly, and necessitates frequent, sluggish reload animations. The only upside is that if you come face to face with another poorly equipped looter in the early game, you'll be able to kick out surprising amounts of dam

New Castle’s ultimate ability is undeniably strong this season and it works best for teams looking to hunker down. Add to that Rampart’s quick-deploying Amped Cover, and players can fortify a building and create a cover out of nothing when fighting in the open. Rampart’s Amped Cover also lets players reload their firearms quicker, which could turn the tide of the bat

Caustic's gas traps are one of the most frustrating things to encounter in the game. Finding yourself in the middle of a gas maze almost always results in elimination, and the traps can seem way too OP as a result. Luckily, there IS a way to counter the traps (aside from utilizing tactical Newcastle Abilities guide). Simply shoot the red portion of the trap (located near the bottom) in order to disable it, allowing safe passage for you and your team. Easy pe

The Hemlok fulfills the role of the standard, three round burst firing assault rifle that you're probably familiar with from every other FPS game. While it manages to succeed in playing the role, it doesn't tend to do it overly well at any po

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
