Imagine being so addicted to getting an adrenaline rush that you think using a grenade to set a course record is a great idea. Octane did exactly that, and it resulted in him losing both of his legs. Luckily for him, he had friends capable of putting him back toget

A potential leak through datamining has revealed what Apex Legends may look like in the future, with new abilities and a number of Legend characters. These may be old concepts that have not been developed, or they may be far al

Octane's ultimate ability allows him to throw down a trampoline that can be used by friends or foes and launches people in the air as they come in contact with it. If the person using Octane is strategic and skilled enough it can be used in several ways to create real tactical advantages on the battlefi

Comparing **Apex Legends ** to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 's Blackout reveals two fairly similar gameplay experiences, but what sets the former apart is its major quality-of-life improvements and marriage of the hero shooter and battle royale genres. If the game industry avoided pre-launch gaffes like Metro Exodus ' and changed the answers on its copied homework a bit more than Anthem seems willing, perhaps a free-to-play title wouldn't have so easily trounced so many expensive AAA titles in the first pl

This Legend standouts for the sheer amount of camping potential that could come from using them properly. This seems counterintuitive in terms of Legend design, at least from the perspective of offering compelling and exciting esports coverage. Imaging a full map of teams doing nothing but camping and waiting for everyone else to make the first move. Not exactly riveting st

Just yesterday, Respawn Entertainment announced the _ Apex Legends _ Iron Crown Collection Event, which will coincide with a limited time Solos Mode. But because _ Apex Legends _ has its roots in team play, some people believe this is an unusual option for a battle royale that thrives on a team dynamic. But, for those ready to jump in, Spitfires blazing, here are TheGamer’s top picks on which characters to use while aiming for that cr

With a teammate playing as Octane, his stim ability only adds more speed to the chaos, and players looking for an ideal composition to catch enemies by surprise will need to look no further. Additionally, with the introduction of new Perks, Octane takes substantially less damage when using his stim ability. It should be noted, though, that the speed boost doesn’t stack up. As such, players using Octane’s stim will not get an additional boost with Ballistic or Mad Maggie’s Ultimate abil

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

When Electronic Arts first released _ Apex Legends Newcastle Legends _ , many thought this character’s abilities were second-tier as compared to more powerful ones such as Bangalore’s airstrike ultimate, which has a large area of effect. However, Pathfinder rapidly rose to become one of the most popular characters in the g

That leaves only Anthem , whose global February 22 launch will mark the only proper live-service competitor to Apex Legends . Though Anthem is unquestionably beautiful and has thrilling combat and movement that Crackdown developers ought to take note of, there is the unavoidable fact that it is EA's answer to Destiny , and the online loot-shooter genre Anthem 's obvious source material spawned is marred by a series of hard-to-avoid caveats. It does more to ensure that players won't be locked out of certain time-limited content by providing matchmaking in areas that the Destiny franchise neglects, but (as EA has clearly done its homework) it's difficult to not fear that launch content will prove much more sparse than initially expected, much as it was in both Destiny entr

This means players can run three decked-out weapons with Ballistic. Additionally, his Ultimate’s cooldown is not as long as that of some other legends, meaning the team will revel in enhanced movement and faster reloads in most fights. Conduit’s Radiant Transfer can be upgraded to heal two Legends, allowing players to partake in fights in quick success

Metro Exodus is a diamond in the rough here in terms of its gameplay and story, with the other releases this week falling agonizingly flat in one area or the other. While Apex Legends is being universally lauded for its impressive blend of frenzy and strategy, as well as for its revolutionary ping system that makes teamplay easier and more integral than in any shooter before it, February has brought little else in the way of gameplay innovation. Crackdown 3 is a fairly mindless power fantasy sandbox, which is great for players seeking that experience, but disappointing to others due to how few additions it brings to the table when compared with the 12-year-old initial entry into the ser
