On top of mastering each weapon, it is important you develop a comfort with each of the varying sights found in the game. A red dot sight is very different from a 2x ACOG scope. It is important you master how to use a red dot sight at short, mid and long-range firefights, as you may not be in a situation to possess a long-range scope. Being comfortable with every sight in the game will make you a force to be reckoned w

It was no doubt a unique challenge for a writer. During the time period in which Respawn started planning Apex Legends , the two major battle royale releases were Fortnite : Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG). Neither of these games put the story front and center. Eventually, Activision and Treyarch added Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 : Blackout to the mix. That game leveraged the franchise’s history of interesting stories, but the result was a sort of a hodgepodge of elements from the Black Ops series meshed into a battle royale for

For the Grand Soirée event, Respawn has overhauled its reward tracking system. Each of these modes will have their own challenges that will award you points. These points will then be put toward a prize track that will unlock special Soirée-related rewards for every milestone you hit. You can earn up to 1000 points from challenges in each mode, and players will complete battle pass challenges by playing these modes as well. As an added bonus, you’ll also receive a special badge for trying out each of these special modes, which is great because everyone loves a good ba

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

Respawn has done an excellent job of listening to player feedback, and while I don’t know that the changes to SBMM will be instant, I have no doubt that the team there is listening to feedback. Algorithms are extremely tough to master, especially when it comes to a software product that’s still relatively new, like Apex Legends . If I’ve had Instagram for seven years and still can’t get it to stop showing me pictures of my friends’ babies, then suffice it to say players may have to be patient while Respawn masters its SBMM mathemat

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

To think about it another way, the average household income sinks significantly if you take out a handful of billionaires that skew the data set. Using made-up numbers again, assume that if you include them, an "average" income across a given country is $500,000 dollars. But the vast majority of people make much less than that. Take the billionaires out, and the average income starts to look more like $50,

There’s no game franchise more ripe for a live-action television show than The Legend of Zelda . The series has more than enough material to adapt into an episodic program as Link explores all of Hyrule. Through quests, puzzles and beautiful storytelling, it would be surreal to tune into Netflix to watch our protagonist set out to take on Ganon over several seas

For simplicity's sake, let’s say Apex Legends has a player base of 1,000 players, ranging from somewhat active to very active. Ten players comprise the top 1 percent and 990 people would comprise the other 99 perc

Given the holiday’s emphasis on coupledom, it makes sense that these games would seize this opportunity to host duos events. While it’s obvious that most people who are going to partner up in these modes aren’t actually couples, it provides a fun take on the collective obsession with couple

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

But with duos, it’s just you and your partner. This means there are a lot of requirements for becoming one half of a solid duo. Suffice it to say, it's not enough to like your duo partner as a person. The two players also have to actually like one another. They must be able to communicate through heated moments for hours on end without annoying or upsetting the ot

The event is on right now and will run until January 28, so if you want to get the fanciest skins that gaming can offer, then you’re probably going to want to log into Apex Legends Seer Guide Legends and get involved in the Grand Soirée Arc
