After you make the hike to the beacon, all that’s left is to interact with it and wait for the dropship to ferry your battle buddy back into the fight, but mind that he’ll have no gear and will need to loot up. This makes your squad a tempting target for nearby enemies, who will probably have noticed the beacon being u
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
For those unfamiliar with Apex Legends , you play as one of eight Legends (characters), who each have their own abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. These aren’t all just little abilities that you’ll hardly notice, either; they are make-or-break, match-defining abilities that you’ll need to be familiar with if you want to earn the title of Champ
Passively, Bloodhound can see footprints left by enemies made anytime within about a one-minute period. This is helpful in avoiding ambushes, and the perfect way to stay on the tail of an enemy team. There are a couple of other pieces of intel you can gather with this ability, too. Bloodhound’s first active ability is a scan that reveals a snapshot of the area around you, notifying you of any enemies nearby and showing their location at the time you activated the abil
Like all Apex Legends characters, Wraith has three different abilities. Her passive ability is called Voices From The Void and serves as a warning system. She also has a tactical ability, Into The Void, which allows her to move without taking damage for a short period of time. Her final, ultimate ability, is called Dimensional Rift and allows her to create portals between two ar
The most impressive thing about the sudden rise of Apex Legends is that the game hasn’t even delivered on many of the promises Respawn Entertainment has made regarding its early post-launch content. The game is slated to receive holiday-themed loot, a tournament hosted on Twitch, and its first season of content in March. The latter of those additions will feature the debut of the game’s Battle Pass, new Legends, weapons, and l

The ease with which dig this helps you get around lends to the fast, frenetic pacing of firefights as squads pop from position to position, easily giving up the high ground for more cover, or to flank dug in oppone
First unveiled over the weekend by YouTuber TheQuartering , and then further confirmed by multiple media outlets and our own sources, Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale shooter described as a Titanfall spinoff of sorts, sans the actual Titans. Details on gameplay features are not yet official, but the full reveal comes tomorrow morning, Monday, February 4th at 8am PST on Twitch according to the newly launched Apex Legends Twitter accou
While the battle royale genre remains one of the most lucrative in gaming and is definitely a factor in Apex Legends ‘ success , it would be unwise to discount the game’s popularity too much because of that fact. Few games catch on this fast with the gaming community, which is often quick to dismiss new entries into a genre as clones or knock-offs of existing titles. The last game that shook things up this much and this fast was probably Blizzard’s Overwatch , a game that Apex Legends borrows a few design choices from. If Apex Legends continues to grow at the rate it is, however, it likely means brand new territory for the video game industry and a blueprint that other studios will be scrambling to mimic in the coming months and ye

There’s a risk of cannibalization here, but perhaps Firestorm is further off than we thou
