Ziplines are always tricky, despite allowing you to traverse great distances. Most importantly, it is very difficult to aim while riding a zipline, and you’re perfectly lined up for the enemy. Additionally, the entire zipline wobbles. This further signals players who might not even notice you at first. So, there will frequently be occasions to turn around and hop, in order to go backwards. This method can be spammed while moving forward. This is useful to be preventive, but especially when you’re under fire. Jump, catch onto the zipline again, and swiftly repeat. But once you near the end of the zipline, quit, because it will automatically reverse your direction instead of continuing forw

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
