The firing range has undergone a variety of changes from the initial game to where it is now in season 4. It is currently one of the most versatile preparation type modes in any Battle Royale game to be released. Providing a multitude of weapons, enemies, targets, zip lines, armor, grenades, healing items, legendary items and even the ability to experiment with each character makes this mode a functional "must" for any player looking to impr

Hardly ever does a lifeline drop her healing drone and while her shield during revives is great in a pinch, it is also a beacon for enemies that are looking to clean up and move. Her greatest asset is the speed she gets when using heals or reviving, so long as she is using it to keep the team going rather than rushing into the fray with a peacekee

In film and television, a certain class of films and shows qualify as character studies, in which the characters themselves are more important than the overall plot. Certainly, American Psycho isn’t much of a story without Patrick Bateman at the h

Tasked with a unique challenge, Respawn team set out to develop these heroes. At this point, it could have been enough to develop a generic backstory that brought everyone together or even to simply leave it undefined. After all, at the time, people weren’t looking for stories within the battle royale sett

But what’s interesting is how Apex 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

R-99 (SMG): Of all the small arms in the game, the R-99 is perhaps the closest players got to a near-AR-level weapon. Aside from having decent handling, the larger damage output of the R-99 makes it a great early-game weapon for fast-paced skirmishes involving Revenant, be it in short-ranged or middle-ranged encount

As mentioned, the firing range is an essential place to improve at the battle royale giant. In this mode, players are provided ever weapon, equipable item and secondary weapon in the game. Becoming familiar with each of these weapons will make a novice player into an exp

Barrel stabilizers can decrease the oppressive recoil on full auto weapons, the same goes for stocks. Each of these items comes in a variety of rarity one being common, normal, epic and legendary. Learning how effective a common stock versus an epic stock is can be all the difference in winning or losing a combat encoun

Destiny 2: Shadowkeep may not be the biggest expansion set in Destiny's history, but it has elevated Destiny 2 to a place players always hoped the game would get to. There is so much awesome content to pursue and such an interesting, meaningful grind. Two months later and my raid team is still getting together most nights to play crucible, run the Pit of Heresy dungeon, or raid. Even jaded vanilla Destiny 2 players have come back and found the game they always wanted. Destiny 2: Shadowkeep is the most fun I've had in any game this y

What can I say? I'm a sucker for Pokemon . The jump to the Switch wasn't without its faults, yet I found myself enjoying every second of my time with the game. The Wild Area brings thrilling new content to the Galar region, the dialog is witty/corny, and the battles strike the sweet spot of being too easy and aggravatingly difficult. Many games might be more technically advanced, or tell a better story, but there isn't a game this year I enjoyed more than the latest Pokemon advent

The breakneck speed of Apex coupled with its hero dynamic makes the title a difficult game to excel in. Without the inclusion of buildings or vehicles, players are forced to adapt to the game's environment with their skill alone. Making Apex one of the highest skill ceiling titles within the battle royale genre. But every star player has to start somewhere, even the greatest Apex Legends Update players did not start with the level of skill that they currently possess. This guide will provide new and aspiring players with some essential tips to start their Apex career and how to excel in the grueling landscape of online p

None of these battle royale games drew upon "hero shooter" model that Overwatch had popularized. Overwatch is purely a team game. To succeed, individual players must combine their unique abilities to make decisions that benefit the team as a whole. And, because heroes’ abilities to support one another are integral to team success, Activision Blizzard had learned to leverage characters' backstories into social media content such as alternate reality games (ARG) and cinemagra

Players’ interest in these characters is a direct result of the care that the Respawn puts into developing them. Whether it’s Wraith’s forgotten past, Bloodhound’s mystique or Mirage’s use of humor to hide his insecurities, fans develop deep attachments to these multi-dimensional characters. These bonds inspire further creativity as the characters become the subjects of memes, fan art and cosp
