Many players expect the zipline and grapple to be simple ways of getting from one place to another. They are in fact far more powerful. You can swing from them as well as traveling huge distances. This is invaluable in covering a large amount of ground quic
Titled **Apex Legends ** , the new Titanfall game is a battle royale that will feature three-player squads but, weirdly, no actual Titans (the large, playable mechs the series takes its name from). Instead it seems EA is focusing on the high-speed, kinetic infantry gameplay of Titanfall which is inspired from the developer’s roots in Call of Duty (they were initially formed from Infinity Ward de
On the other end, there is the likely chance that this was Epic Games doing some non-existant PR damage control. By all means, I’m sure they are increasingly conscious of the rise of Apex Legends — EA has been able to quote daily successes since the game’s unexpected launch. In the first eight hours, the battle royale title had scored over a million individual players . Within 48 hours, that number had jumped to 2.5 million players . Then, by the end of the work week, Apex Legends had managed to reach 10 million players, with a high score of 1 million concurren
Perhaps the optimists out there think that since he got a reply from Respawn, the message had been conveyed. Without a doubt Zampella is sharing the Tweet with members of his team, as it is always a great thing to be appreciated and validated in the indus
Lifeline’s ultimate ability is arguably one of the strongest in the game. It calls down a drop pod, which is packed full of high quality, defensive gear. In a battle royale, this gear can make a huge difference to your t
Passively, Mirage automatically drops down a decoy and cloaks for five seconds when he’s knocked down. This can buy you a little bit of time to crawl to safety. Mirage’s first active ability sends out a holographic decoy of himself that, hopefully, draws enemy fire, giving you a clue as to where they are. Mirage’s Ultimate ability releases a whole team of decoys, creating an incredibly confusing scenario for the enemy and giving your team a split seconds advant
As you go in to revive a teammate, and hit E to apply first aid, the shield will automatically deploy in front of you. This means that you need to go in to heal facing the direction any shots are coming f
Apex Legends is a free-to-play Battle Royale game developed by Respawn. It’s a truly fresh voice in the Battle Royale genre that’s been stuck in a bit of a rut for a while now and does a lot to push the genre forwa
Passively, Bangalore moves faster when she comes under fire. For players who have an up-close-and-personal style of play, this is a huge benefit. Bangalore’s first active ability is a Smoke Canister that explodes into a smoke wall upon contact. This is a pretty easily understandable ability and can be a huge boon in the right hands. Bangalore’s Ultimate ability is pretty similar to Gibraltar’s; she calls in an Artillery Strike on a specific area that rolls through the landscape over t
Lastly, Bloodhound’s Ultimate ability increases your movement speed drastically and allows you to see enemies through cover within a pretty wide radius. Overall, Bloodhound excels at gathering as much intel from the surrounding area as possible, Apexarenaelite.com and when used right, will help keep his squad a couple steps ahead of the en
Passively, Pathfinder can scan a survey beacon to locate the next ring’s location. This is an invaluable tool in helping your team set up in the best possible location before other squads have a chance. Pathfinder’s first active ability is a Grapple Hook that can help him quickly get into certain areas enemies won’t expect. The Grapple Line can attach to enemies, too, yanking them into punching/shotgun range. Pathfinder’s Ultimate ability is a Grapple Line that the entire Squad can
And as I mentioned earlier, congratulating competitors is commonplace in the industry. Lest we not forget how Phil Spencer (Executive Vice President of Gaming at Microsoft) reached out to Sony and Santa Monica Studios over God of Wars’ stellar reviews . Or when the Microsoft brand congratulated Nintendo for the launch of the Nintendo Swit
A free-to-play “Titanfall Hero Battle Royale” will be announced and released Monday according to multiple leaks and insider reports. A new Titanfall game, but not Titanfall 3 , was in development as was revealed in December when we discovered developer Respawn Entertainment was hiring for such a game, and now we know what it
As we pointed out in light of the Apex Legends reveal is that the timing is strange since EA is just two weeks away from releasing their other futuristic online-only action game Anthem , and just a few months away from the Battlefield V battle royale mode, Firestorm. There’s a risk of cannibalization here, but perhaps Firestorm is further off than we thou
