The final round can result in some bizarre positions. This is when even the tournaments become messy. Strategy is correspondingly reduced as the Ring subtracts available area. This also heightens the effects of every maneuver. Ultimates can be used to turn the tide in the final round. Lifeline’s care package can offer you cover if everyone is forced into the open. Pathfinder’s zipline can be used to swing back and forth like the equally quippy Spider-Man , above a maelstrom of warring squads in the tiniest zones. And if teams are trapped above and below each other, some ultimates decide champions. Drop air strikes at your feet to attack the ceiling. Or if it’s a health war, use the maximum capacity of Wraith’s portal to survive the orange as it closes in complet
The classic remake totally revitalized our love for the game and series overall. Pretty much everything about it was well-executed... and, I mean, c'mon. The addition of the beloved Tofu Survivor should be enough to make any Game of the Year l
Caustic has many straightforward uses—leaving traps at various doors, at the end of ziplines, and so forth. However, there are also defenses that some might not realize. If a teammate has been downed, drop a Gas Trap and shoot it to create a cloud of cover while you revive them. And while Caustic’s ultimate grenade might seem like a distinctly offensive ability, it can also be used for perfect cover. From a distance, throw your ultimate directly onto downed teammates. This can prevent the enemy from securing their kill while you calculate a plan. It’s basically a poisonous Bangalore tactical. In choke points and tighter Rings, this mindset can also allow your squad to push, heal, or re-posit
There’s so much to unpack in this series that Destiny lore expert Byf suggested focusing on a single character’s story would be a better way to explore this deep, impactful narrative. That works for us, as long the one who gets his own show is the Hunter Vanguard we lost in Forsaken , Cayde-6 (press F to pay respec
Bloodhound's tactical ability is his "eye of the Allfather" a powerful recon ability that allows Bloodhound to see enemies through walls. This ability alone makes Bloodhound an oppressive offense character, as it is incredibly difficult to avoid a good Bloodhound pla
Pathfinder's grappling hook provides the robot with a high skill ceiling in its application. You can use it to evade, to charge or for positioning, whichever way you find a use for it, it is an incredible ability. On top of his Ultimate being a powerful tool for squad positional advantage, Pathfinder is an excellent choice for any t
Portal’s Chell had the right idea—now make GLaDOS proud. Obviously, Wraith’s ability to phase while she extends a portal is highly useful for crossing dangerous terrain. Your entire squad can escape the sharpest eyes of a sniper. However, Wraith’s portal is also useful for downed teammates. Instead of defending another knocked teammate who tried to be a lone wolf, offer them a portal to saf
His arsenal of "decoy" special moves makes facing a good Mirage a hassle. His ability to cast a decoy towards an area is a good way to reveal an enemy's location. On top of his invisibility ability, he is an excellent character for those who prefer a "spy" charac
Guardian Stalkers are some of the scariest enemies in video game history. To this day, the sinister theme of these robots sends shivers down the spine of any adventurer unlucky enough to draw their attent
Unless you’re sporting some gold, healing can easily get you killed. And even if you eliminate an entire squad, you are always vulnerable to a Third Party. They will be looking to take advantage of your weakened health after hearing all the gunfire. True, many have learned that looting an eliminated enemy will offer up a full Body Shield. However, this can also be crucial in the middle of a firefight. If you’re out of Shield Cells or Batteries, you can finish off a knocked opponent for their armor. More likely, it can also genuinely be worth it to swap for lesser armor sitting nearby, just to survive in a pinch. Particularly if your teammates are down, leaving you without cover or t
Gibraltar's Defensive Bombardment packs a real punch when you are in a tight spot. Like with Caustic, Gibraltar's large size is a bit of an issue as he is an easy target, but that is why he has shields in his arse
It would be fascinating to see Destiny on the small screen, as there are a myriad of storylines that explore different planets and realities. Like the games, a show could explore these narratives from the perspective of a Guardian. Different seasons could reflect the events of different expansions (I'd love more than anything to see a made-for-TV retelling of the events from the original Destiny 's The Taken King expansi
Technically now the "third" version of what is perhaps the perfect game, the Resident Evil 2 remake Apex Legends Updates a classic and shows developers that narrative-driven content can succeed without the need for multiplayer and microtransacti
