While they can easily escape by jumping back through the portal, this does work to dissuade enemies from daring to jump in again. This gives the team some distance to work out the next steps. Additionally, when used in tandem with Caustic's gas traps and Wattson's fences, players will easily increase their

Now this is a creative character that would likely be more entertaining than competitive viable. Burglar’s Best Friend is always welcome for its mobility, while the rest is simply for getting the best loot to help

Battle royale games have become one of the biggest and most popular genres in gaming. With most of them free to play, they offer an easy route for anyone to jump in, then monetize their success by having skins or extra goodies players can get for their avat

Players using New Castle in this comp will be able to assist their team by crafting banners and deploying the new-and-improved Ultimate Castle Wall. With the latest update, New Castle’s wall now destroys any projectiles thrown at it when it’s energized, similar to Wattson’s Py

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

There are eight playable characters (called "Legends") in Apex Legends at launch, and each squad member must choose differently. Two of the starting eight Legends must be unlocked through earning in-game currency or spending real-world money. Apex Legends embraces a totally free-to-play model on its platforms (Origin on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox O

Played strictly in three-player squads across one map (called "Kings Canyon") that supports 60 players total with characters who each have their own unique abilities, right away Apex Current Gun Meta Legends differentiates itself from the competition. Its class (character) based gameplay that highlights the unique personalities and gear of each character is best compared to Overwatch , and the game also draws its monetization strategy from Blizzard's shooter as well. When it comes to its first-person gunplay however, Apex Legends plays more like Black Ops 4's Blackout mode but with more diverse gameplay and more layers of mechanics and control, including in the game's animati

Pathfinder’s perks further help this comp thrive, and players can opt to have the Tactical’s cooldown reset on every successful knock. Additionally, players can also help their team get out of sticky situations by using the energized ziplines, that grant 50 percent less damage. Octane’s double jump pad perk can also come in clutch for swift rotations, and Ash’s Tactical snare can keep enemy players from advanc

**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

Generally speaking, some sort of long-range, sniper rifle equivalent would normally be a must-have piece of kit for a battle royale match. But while they're certainly not the worst things to have, sniper rifles are a little unimpressive when it comes to Apex Lege

Though an action-packed shooter on the surface, Apex can be deceptively deep when it comes to the different ways characters can interact together to form some real team cohesion. A Legend that may not thrive too much on their own could be invaluable in a squad that knows how to use their abilities to their fullest extent. This list will explore many of the best possible squad combinations in Apex Legen

As the player count dwindles, the battles get much more intense, with players using massive dinosaurs and dragons to wage epic battles until the last man is standing. It’s downright exciting to watch. If you manage to play with the right people, it can be one of the more memorable battle royale ga

Mirage’s bamboozles can disorient enemy players, and his passive, which makes him invisible as he is reviving a teammate, is a good addition to any team, too. Mad Maggie can help on the offensive and keep enemy teams at bay with her Riot Drills. Alternatively, players can rotate or ambush a team with her Ultim

PUBG had its fair share of flaws over the years, namely with graphical issues, but it has since ironed them out. PUBG did lose a lot of its players to other battle royale games, but it is quickly rising upward to claim its old spot on the gaming throne ag

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
