**Apex Legends ** followed in Fortnite ’s footsteps by launching its own Season, dubbed Wild Frontiers, on March 19. On top of showering players with goodies in the form of cosmetics and a new Legend, Respawn has made a host of technical chan
But since the beginning, many fans have been clamoring for a Solos Mode, with arguments ranging from the prevalence of loot-hogging teammates to mere preference . An Apex Legends code snippet showing that Solos and Duos Modes already existed in the game’s architecture added fuel to the debate around the inclusion of a Solo M
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
It’s fair to expect that non-Pathfinder solo players will use Pathfinder’s zip lines after the character has already laid them down. But, this is not always a strong strategy as the Pathfinder will frequently have an elevated line of sight that allows them shoot players who attempt to use these zip lines to ambush t
This comes down to play style. It’s highly unlikely that an enemy would choose to attack a Wattson that has barricaded themselves in a house with fences, over a character on the outside that has no stun fence and shield regeneration abilities. For players who believe that the strongest solo mode strategy involves camping safely until a final zone showdown, Wattson may be the strongest p
Wraith’s portal will also prove incredibly effective in Solos as it allows a quick retreat should a player move to a new location and suddenly find themselves being targeted by enemies. However, just as in team play, the player must be aware of enemies the follow Wraith through the por
Talk about the potential for controversy and frustration. A good sniper can often make it feel as though one has not played a game, they merely ran along until the sniper spotted them from a distance. This is an extreme, but one wonders about the reception to squads with this Sniper toolkit and a competent Pathfin
While not ideal for team play, coordinated teams can still use this noisiness to their advantage. A loud Bloodhound can provide a distraction to opposing teams, allowing the non-Bloodhound players to quickly pick off enemies as they reveal themsel
With both games offering similar things, but with huge differences, it is hard to tell which one might be the fit for you. Though its hard to make a ruling on which one is definitively better, here are the major strengths and weaknesses of each game and how they stack up to each ot
This Legend is the stuff of nightmares. Area denial and the constant threat of being firebombed would drastically shift the meta, likely demanding that mobility take a front seat in selecting characters. This Legend had better come with a skin for The Trashcan
The full patch notes can be read on the next page of this article. Wild Frontier represents Respawn’s first major step in turning the already stellar Apex Legends into a game worth sticking with for the long haul. As the battle royale scene continues to heat up, it’ll be intriguing to see how Season 1 performs and what future Seasons look like after
While following the example of games like Overwatch, Apex Legends throws that extra bit of strategy that can make a game more challenging. With Fortnite you are loaded in as a generic shooter, while Apex Legends provides you the opportunity to be a unique colorful character. While it may not seem like the largest difference, the different abilities completely change the way that the game is pla
In team play, the Dome Shield can be useful to protect players from incoming damage, giving them space to revive teammates and to avoid Gibraltar’s bombardment should a player choose to use it. However, in Solos, in spite of any protection, its high visibility makes Gibraltar a target by drawing attention from other players. Because it’s so short, Gibraltar can only move so far away from it before it times out. Because it gives away his location, the use of the shield leaves him vulnerable to snipers, counter-strike attacks, and so
One of the biggest challenges of Apex Legends Solos revolves around whether there’s enough character balance to prevent lobbies from being comprised of only one or two different characters. Recently, TheGamer shared its top _ Apex Legends _ character picks for players grinding toward wins in Solos . Now, it’s time to run down the characters that won’t stand a chance without major bu
While players at the non-competitive team level play a variety of characters for different reasons, players vying for a Solos crown while playing as one of the game’s less-popular characters may not stand much of a cha
