Apex Legends: 10 Facts About Healer Extraordinaire Lifeline

a black background with a white x on itIn previous Battle Royale games, it was always pretty easy to hear enemies sneaking up on you. Whether you were playing PUBG or Fortnite , smart players always listened carefully to that characteristic pitter patter of footsteps approaching behind a closed door or a wall. Certain PUBG players even chose to remove their shoes in hopes of quieting their footsteps. But in Apex Legends , it's much harder to hear enemy footsteps. In certain situations, enemies can be pretty much impercepti

Square Enix's E3 conference is one of the most highly anticipated of the show. Sony's recent State of Play event showed new footage from the Final Fantasy VII Remake , which concluded with a message saying that more information is coming in J

When you spend a majority of your life committed to helping those in need, you're bound to pick up a few tricks of the trade along the way. Along with being a superb healer, Lifeline can revive fallen teammates faster than any other character in Apex Legen

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 Champ

Opening a door is boring. Violently kicking it open is where it's at! There may come a time when you are unable to open a door - someone is on the other side, or there's a dangerous gas trap waiting to be tripped. Luckily, you can knock down doors by running at it and holding the melee button. Your character will burst down the door, which in turn will knock over an enemy or disable a gas trap! Respawn really did think of everyth

We previously mentioned the fact that sniping is seriously hard in this game. Players move very quickly, and just hitting the target is hard enough. For these same reasons, head-shots are also very difficult to pull off in apex Legends 2.0 Legends . In fact, these shots are so difficult that a lot of professional players choose to simply aim for the chest and body inst

Todd Howard has confirmed that neither Starfield nor The Elder Scrolls VI will be appearing at E3 2019, but Bethesda is in dire need of some good publicity following a year of Fallout 76 fallout, so it's possible that these two highly-anticipated RPGs will appear during the conference in some f

Octane’s Stim Tactical Ability gives players a 30% speed increase, but it requires health to use and, like Bloodhound’s Ultimate, it’s noisy. Contrast this to Bangalore who can move more quickly when taking damage and doesn’t make additional noise leveraging this ability. Typically, a Bangalore can also hide their exact whereabouts in smoke for an added layer of protection. And, while Octane’s on-demand speed boost can be useful in situations, such as getting loot at the start of the game, the 10% health reduction may not be worth it to the average player—particularly when players can use Pathfinder’s grapple for similar purposes while taking no health l

We've already covered the fact that she can revive players faster than any other character, but her abilities don't only benefit everyone around her. Lifeline has the bonus that she can restore health and shields at 75% of the time it takes everyone else

Wraith’s portal will also prove incredibly effective in Solos as it allows a quick retreat should a player move to a new location and suddenly find themselves being targeted by enemies. However, just as in team play, the player must be aware of enemies the follow Wraith through the por

If you're familiar with the characters in Apex Legends, then you are familiar with the adrenaline junkie known as Octane. He's an energetic guy who happens to sport a pair of bionic legs due to him blowing them off with a grenade in the pursuit of a race track rec

The Final Fantasy VII Remake announcement at E3 2015 is considered by many to be one of the best moments in the history of the conference, yet almost no new information has been revealed about the game since. If Square Enix is finally ready to show the game again, then it's possible that a release date might be forthcom

This comes down to play style. It’s highly unlikely that an enemy would choose to attack a Wattson that has barricaded themselves in a house with fences, over a character on the outside that has no stun fence and shield regeneration abilities. For players who believe that the strongest solo mode strategy involves camping safely until a final zone showdown, Wattson may be the strongest p

E3 2019 is around the corner, and there are plenty of game announcements to look forward to - but which games should people expect to see? Sony might be sitting at home, but other developers have stepped up and are promising bigger and better shows than e

It's clear that the game is generating an enormous audience, and as such, more and more people are flocking to it. But this isn't like most games. Yes, it has a tutorial, but that is very brief and hardly goes into the mechanics and complexities of the game, its controls, and its various strategies. This obviously results in many ignorant players, many of whom could probably be better players if they knew the intricate mechanics of the game rather than just the base contr
