About a month ago, after a week-long delay due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, Apex Legends introduced Season 5: Fortune’s Favor. It’s the most successful season launch to date , according to a recent press release. Anecdotally, I can attest to the fact that I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game since the beginning of the pande
Most players will opt for an automatic gun over a burst-fire assault rifle, but the Hemlok has built a strong case for itself. People worry about accuracy and rate of fire when it comes to burst rifle guns, but the Hemlok does both tremendously well. Mid-range fights are where it truly shines and speaking of shining you should look around for the special golden Hemlok that can be found in Season 5 . It also happens to have received one of the best weapon skins in Season 5, which is a bo
Her passive ability, Eye For Quality, lets her see purple and gold items through walls. It can be pretty difficult to determine what the item is at a distance, and most of them are hop-ups, but it helps to know which buildings are best to l
It seems players rarely take the time to appreciate video game developers. Twitter feeds and game forums are frequently filled with game criticism. Even in normal circumstances, gamers fail to openly appreciate the efforts of those who work so hard. We may not know these workers by name, but they’re working diligently to create brilliant stories, designs and technology that allow us to enjoy this form of immers
Ever since his initial inception, it seems the designers at Respawn Entertainment wanted Revenant to come across as what they described as a “synthetic shinobi.” Shinobi are stealthy covert agents that are often simply called ninjas. It doesn’t seem as though Revenant is completely robotic, and his human brain is likely what makes him synthetic. The game has a wide cast of characters for players to choose from and its neat that they added one that’s unnerving and terrifying, but at the same time exudes a certain level of c
Apex Legends does a good job as a free-to-play game at offering its players skins for both weapons and legends worth chasing after. You would think that Revenant would have darker-themed skins due to his murderous past, which he very much does. In addition to those though they also gave him 3 separate skins all inspired by the Egyptian god, Ra. It not only changes Revenant’s coloring but gives him a bird-like head which is more akin to the depictions of Ra throughout Egyptian mythol
Thank you for putting the hours in when you could be sitting at home, feeling as helpless and hopeless as many of the rest of us feel. Maybe there are days when you feel down, yet you keep showing up for people like me. I’m grateful to all of you for pushing through.

A contrarian might suggest these companies are pushing out updates amid a pandemic strictly for the profits. That person might suggest developers are working because they’re afraid to lose their jobs in an uncertain climate. But if those concerns were the only thing driving these development teams, then what would stop the company executives from simply turning to bolder emphasis on microtransactions? Whether you love or hate these in-game monetization options, it’s indisputable that microtransactions are sure-fire ways to get people to continue to spend money on ga
The L-Star, much like the Mastiff which will be discussed later on, is a weapon that was once relegated to care packages but spawns in the overworld in Season 5. A weapon that doesn’t require you to reload it is pretty powerful, you just need to make sure it doesn’t overheat. You can become rather careless with ammunition when you forget about reloading, so just be aware of your energy ammo supply. The speed at which your weapon can fire can become all too important, and the L-Star is best in cl

A new Ubisoft Battle Royale hunt will unlock each week on Tuesday, with 9 in total across the season. That means you’ll need to collect 45 Treasure Packs in order to access all 9 Hunts, or in other words, play at least 1 game for 45 days across the sea
Her anger and malice towards him are ever apparent. Her ultimate is a better version of Lifeline’s care package and has moved her as a result down the tier list. Her ability to teleport, as well as seeing high-tier items through walls, will likely have her becoming a fan favor
