Fortnite has been dominating the gaming world for quite some time. The free to play game exploded in popularity and has continued to be one of the biggest games ever. With new events and constantly gaining new players, it seemed like nothing would be able to slow Fortnite d

And then there’s Wraith, whose ability to phase essentially makes her temporarily immune to both bullet and storm damage. Wraith also appeared as part of every team in almost every game at the ESPN EXP Invitational, as did Wattson, due to her ability to abate enemies with her traps and restore shields with her ultimate abil

This is a well-balanced composition for players who want to get in and out of fights quickly. Alter’s Nexus acts as a fantastic safety net, allowing players to fall back if things get too heated. Thanks to Loba, the team will never run out of ammo or heals. Pathfinder, on the other hand, can scan for care package weapons and help the team rotate or get to a vantage point quic

Catalyst’s kit has also seen many improvements. For starters, Catalyst can now completely reconstruct broken doors and further reinforce them with Ferrofluid. This should allow players to catch their breath in the heat of a battle. Loba’s abilities need no introduction, and she is revered as one of the best Support legends in the g

Call of Duty: Blackout was Activision’s way of getting into the battle royale scene. When the game first released, the game actually had a lot of good ideas with solid gameplay. Adding in zombies was a great option, weapon buffs especially when it was a feature people had been asking for in Fortnite for quite some t

It almost seems as though each character was designed with solo play in mind, given that the only character with an ability that’s no longer useful at all in a Solos Mode is Lifeline. Though Lifeline will no longer be able to leverage the ability to quickly revive teammates, she still has a fast heal as part of her passive, which is extremely helpful as a solo pla

Zombies populate the world, meaning that players will have to take them on. On top of that, the movement is much faster than some of the more popular battle royale games, including a parkour system and much more visually dynamic colors. However, it hasn’t quite managed to break the bigger games in the ge

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

Alter is one of the strongest characters in Apex Legends right now. Players can use her tactical skills to sift in and out of buildings, escape quickly, or gain elevated positioning. They can also use the tactical to unnerve enemy players by kidnapping them into their room if they’re on the roof of a building. The ultimate ability, however, makes this comp work really well as it allows players to fall back to a predetermined s

With both games offering similar things, but with huge differences, it is hard to tell which one might be the fit for you. Though its hard to make a ruling on which one is definitively better, here are the major strengths and weaknesses of each game and how they stack up to each ot

A more squad-focused battle royale game, Apex keeps teammates in the game by giving players a chance to revive them. This means that players won’t have to sit around for the rest of the match until everyone in their team gets knocked out. Movement is also more fluid and intense in this game, with plenty of maneuvers traverse the world and dodge opponents. It still has a bit to go before it gains a serious identity, tho

Right now, Epic Games still knows what they’re doing. When it turned Fortnite into a battle royale game, it turned out to be for the better. With constant support, a Battle Pass to monetize the game in a fair way, and more modes than just taking on 99 other players by yourself, there’s a lot of reason to try this game

Octane does little that other characters don’t do better. Players have come up with some creative uses for the Launch Pad Ultimate Ability, but ultimately, gamers can reposition themselves just as quickly and even reach higher areas using Pathfinder’s zip line and grap

If Bloodhound wasn't such a cool tracker and hunter, people might assume that they were a theater geek. Bloodhound can often be heard speaking as if they were Norse and were auditioning for a role in the next Thor movie in the Marvel Cinematic Unive

Perhaps most impressive about Fortnite is its cross-platform and cross-progression support. You can play with anyone who has the game regardless of what system you’re playing on. Oversaturation might cause it to become stale for many, but there’s no denying that it’s fun at least for a good time per
