Crypto is the newest addition to the champion roster on Apex Legends . His drone is great for gathering intel, and he can even leave it in the sky to track enemy teams while he is fighting. The EMP that he can offer currently knocks out half of any enemy shields in the area of eff

Gone are the days (for now) of trapping teams inside Bunker with Caustic traps. The open areas make Caustic’s speed an issue for teams, and the large buildings have enough escape routes to mitigate his effectiven

The behavior was so out of line that Respawn CEO Vince Zampella needed to bite the bullet and issue a formal apology on behalf of the company. The unprofessional behavior is a perfect example for other developers on how not to interact with a player b

Epic Games has been hard at work in 2019 using their truckloads of Fortnite money to bolster their own platform and attract users away from Valve’s platform, Steam . To do so, Epic has engaged in the practice of signing developers to exclusivity agreements, a move that has brought controversy each time it happ

The biggest robbery of the 2019 Game Awards? A Plague Tale: Innocence not winning anything. Sure, the game wasn't perfect, but in terms of an original single-player narrative, the game was unmatched in its story and emotional impact. Disturbing enough to make me never want to to play it again, but fun enough to make me consider it, A Plague Tale: Innocence will never get the credit it deserves. Maybe its sequel will finally bring more players aboard, tho

Mobility inspires stealth: Unlike other Legends, Revenant has Passive traits that boost his crouching and climbing mechanics, effectively motivating stealth-inclined movements in the game. Compared to other Assault characters, these qualities make Revenant an ideal assassin, perfect for players who love springing upon enemies for quick ki

_ Apex Legends ranked guide Legends _ recently introduced a Firing Range where I can apply these tactics. Typically, I’ll spend 20-30 minutes at the start of each session exploring recoil patterns or experimenting with different sensitivities. Once I’ve tired of that, I’ll then head into games with dedication to specific weapons or weapon clas

The game hosts 12 unique legends each with their own individual abilities and skills. Each character has a varying style of optimal play and becoming familiar with your favorite character skills will improve your style of play dramatica

As an ultimate ability, it is only useful if the player can immediately engage after the EMP goes off. If the enemy has time to recharge shields, especially with the abundance of golden shields, then it has little impact on the fight. For this reason, Crypto ranks lower on the scale, with his saving grace being the drone intel and ability to open doors from afar for a quick grenade t

The classic remake totally revitalized our love for the game and series overall. Pretty much everything about it was well-executed... and, I mean, c'mon. The addition of the beloved Tofu Survivor should be enough to make any Game of the Year l

The big names to take exclusive agreements with Epic Games have been Borderlands 3 , Shenmue 3 , Metro Exodus , and many more. Following the release of each game, there seems no indication that sales have been hurt in the proc

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

How could it be anything other than Slay The Spire (I say, knowing full well I almost put Tetris 99 in this spot)? After initial frustration, Slay The Spire's various baddies are like old friends now - they're familiar, I've learned their rhythms. The cards and relics aren't mysteries to me anymore. Its delightful weirdness is old hat. And yet I find myself returning to it time and time again because it's just so clever, and it makes me feel clever - when I pay attention to it, when I'm not zoning out and just enjoying the jour

Might as well make crouching default: Players experience more benefits while crouching than ordinary walking. For instance, ADS during crouch is much faster, making Revenant’s hitbox much smaller. Not to mention, accuracy is boosted during crouch aims. Moreover, crouch-walking makes no noise, making Revenant the perfect ambus

A good Apex or even battle royale player will never stay in the same spot for long periods of time. This goes for long-range and short-range fights, as staying in the same location for too long will spell an untimely death for a player. Be sure to always move around even if you hold an advantageous position over an enemy squad, as it may be the right amount of movement to avoid an enemy t

This chapter is primarily about the role of deliberate practice in improvement. A major takeaway is to set goals while playing to improve specific skills. For instance, in order to become better with sniper rifles, a person should plan to spend an entire gaming session practicing only sniper rifle kills. (Note to self: "Stop being a potato" is NOT a good go
