Most interesting is the brand new perk that has been slotted into the backpack, which causes the wearer to revive downed teammates with more shields and armor. This can make those risky revival situations much more tempting, and is amazing when paired with Lifeline's innate boost to revival sp

However, this appears not to be true. A recent player satisfaction sent in-game asked several questions, and the goal was to gather information about how players would feel about blending PC and consoles users together, and how important cross-progression would be for t

Perhaps there’s no real better to play as these characters except for the fact that they’re funny as a pair. One of Mirage’s voice lines has him saying, "I hope I don’t have to play with that smiling robot," before he says he’s just kidding. This is an obvious reference to Pathfinder and seems to imply they're a sort of default frenemy duo. These characters are comic relief, and their pairing seems to be conducive to a buddy comedy a la Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumb

As far as weapons, it can be hard to know whether to choose to run with a long-range sniper rifle or a short-distance shotgun before a player hops into battle, so it’s important for a player to know their own strengths and weaknesses with each weapon type as well. A weapon like a G7 Scout can serve both purposes as a player can affix a sniper scope for longer distances or use iron sights for better targeting at range. Many players have success using scope-free sniper rifles Longbows and Triple Takes at close range as w

his response Defensive Bombardment ultimate also got some love, with a full minute shaved off of its cooldown time. It also saw two seconds removed from its duration, which can be a bummer, but it can also be thrown more than thirty percent further, giving it a bit more leverage and util

When considering the improvements that can be made to the game outside of updates and additional content, Côté described how it would be the leaderboards and ranked system that might receive attention in the future, "[the leaderboards] is something we put in early on and we’ve revised a little with emblems last year, but we feel like there is quite a lot of work left to do there. So that might be the next thing, but it’s tough to say, there is a few others really good idea we might decide to expand

The magic of this duo is that Crypto’s abilities are most useful if used while he’s hidden. His drone allows him to see over distances while he remains stationary. On the other hand, Pathfinder excels in getting around the map quickly. So, if Crypto uses his drone to spot another team in a building nearby, a Pathfinder can zipline them both to the top of that building quickly before the opposing team has a chance to gather their bearing and assert a defense. With the high ground advantage, the Pathfinder and Crypto team can then take the fi

The key difference, however, is that during the "charge-up" period it emits a small laser that rapidly deals small amounts of damage, before dealing a big chunk with the main shot. It's an obvious telegraph, but has huge damage potential. It's excellent for counter-sniping, forcing enemies to either rapidly change positions or suffer crippling dam

In most battle royale games, duos games tend to play out more slowly than full squad games. Players aren’t always as aggressive since they have only one another to help them should they catch themselves in a bind. So, they tend to be more methodological, instead of focusing on reckless pushes and superior weapo

In translating the core gameplay to new platforms, Côté describes some of the considerations needed both for the Switch and upcoming mobile version of the game. For Nintendo, "the biggest thing with the Switch is obviously that visually it had to be accommodated and optimized a little bit compared to what we have on high end PCs…However, playing it in handheld, I think there is something kinetic about it, literally you’re so crunched into it, to me it’s a very different experience, I like that. I try to play at least a few games per day, especially on a new platform so I know what the hell I’m talking abo

Shadowfall takes Apex Legends players back to Kings Canyon with a twisted new take on battle royale. This limited-time mode is more complicated than the game's regular battle royale mode. Here are some tactical tips to succeed in Shadowf

In this mode, players are unable to ping items and call out enemies. However, those who make it into the top 10 instantly go from enemies to allies. They can revive downed teammates and cover for one another as their squadmates heal. All these tactics are helpful to win the game as more surviving Legends means there's a higher chance players will make it to the rescue ship. Additionally, surviving Legends can use their abilities in tandem. For example, a player might want to throw Caustic’s gas traps next to one of Pathfinder’s ziplines to make it difficult for Shadow Legends to jump on the li
