The Gears of War series is full of characters and creatures. However, one of its most interesting aspects is Jack. In the older games, Jack didn't have a whole lot of personality. All he ever really did was cut open doors or hack into computer systems. The older trilogy didn't make Jack all that interest

And with season four just around the corner, many newcomers have refined their skills since launch. The level of strategy is also far more pronounced for the genre—and essential among teammates that frequently lack common sense. So, here are some clever tips for skilled players that have learned to become creative and quick-wit

Finally, Bloodhound's "Beast of the Hunt" increases his speed while allowing him to see through smoke and gasses alongside buffing his other abilities. The recent buff to this ultimate allows Bloodhound to use this move for a longer duration and gets it faster. This ability alone can turn the tides of bat

It dawned on me only recently that the two characters with which I have the most wins — Lifeline and Wattson — are upbeat, helpful characters. Though unconscious, my choice to play these characters seems to be a reflection of how I see myself. Regardless of whether this is true for every Apex Legends player, it reinforces the value of developing characters that represent diverse backgrounds and worldvi

The idea of a robot impersonating an old-school cowboy sounds like the most ridiculous thing in the world. So, props should be given to Fallout: New Vegas for making such a ludicrous character one of the best parts of the overall experie

This also makes Revenant an excellent mid to long-range fighting character. As his small crouching character model coupled with its incredible speed in this crouching state, a difficult target to hit. It's quick poking in and out of cover in a crouching state will make the legend a difficult character to overcome in the right ha

But what’s interesting is how Apex Legends Controller Legends Legends is able to present itself as both a character showcase and a plot-driven narrative, using the battle royale concept as the story framework. Keep in mind how impressive this is in an era where some question whether games should bother to include narrative at

Likely one of the most decried and frequently debated adjustments that Respawn's made to the Apex formula is introducing skill-based matchmaking (or SBMM) to the casual, everyday "Play Apex" mode of p

Revenant's crouching ability allows the assassin to maintain his normal walk speed even when crouching. This may sound like an insignificant skill but it allows for some powerful in-game application. Revenant's rapid crouch speed allows him to cover a large amount of distance silently. Crouch walking in this game prevents an enemy player from hearing your footsteps and is essential for stealth-oriented success. This makes Revenant's archetype as an assassin-style character incredibly easy to incorporate in his gamep

There's been a Skullpiercer-shaped hole in the hearts of Wingman & Longbow fans since the Skullpiercer was removed from the loot rotation. Or more astutely, there are some heads lacking holes because of it. And that's a prob

Now that the third season of Apex Legends is winding down, fans are looking towards the next season. Season three has undoubtedly been this battle royale's most divisive slice of seasonal content thus far, seeming to have hit roughly as many notes as it missed, and fans haven't been content to remain quiet about

Rumors of a PVE mode for Apex Legends have been lurking in the fan community for some time now, and players are quick to leap at any obscure leak or unused code that might imply as much being on the hori

Rather than a combat initiator, this ability is a powerful weapon to close out combat scenarios. In the closing moments of combat, abilities will be at their most useful, whether it be a Pathfinder zipping to safety or a Gibraltar dropping a bubble on his team. Abilities tend to be used the most during the deciding moments of a team fight. So using this ability to deny these potential squad saving skills can be an easy way to wipe an enemy sq

Wraith's abilities allow her to both hear more clearly when enemies are approaching her while also giving her a powerful evasive option. Her ability to "enter the void" provides a powerful evasive maneuver and a functional flanking option. Combine with her portal erecting ultimate and you have arguably the best flanker in the ros

Players have been particularly outspoken concerning its problematic loot distribution and the prevalence of wide, open, and consequentially boring spaces to battle in. Wherever Respawn takes us next, we're hoping they took some notes concerning what didn't work with World's E
