By many accounts, these teams are working harder than ever. Workers in the gaming industry had to rapidly adapt to the challenges of remote work. Many of these studio employees have children, which means they had to rearrange their own lives to care for their children and support them through remote learning. Though many workers may relish being able to work in their pajama pants, they’re facing innate challenges without the interpersonal aspects of working together at a stu
In games of Apex Legends , I’ve found myself matched with profile names that are blatantly racist (they used workarounds to pass spam filters). Once, the first thing someone said was a sexual comment. I’ve been told I was trash for losing a fight by missing a shotgun shot. Random players frequently separate from their teammates, go AFK in the middle of a fight with no explanation and can be toxic in any number of other w
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

Tactical Ability- Burglar’s Best Friend: Loba can throw the bracelet on her wrist in order to teleport to the location it lands. This can be used to teleport to hard to reach areas. This ability does leave Loba vulnerable for a few seconds before teleport
He points out that big organizations such as 100 Thieves and FaZe haven’t invested in the game’s competitive scene. And, perhaps in part due to his role with SoaR, he can look at it realistically from a business perspect
The easiest fix would be to play only with players one trusts. However, one key issue is that my friends range from far better to me to far worse than me, which poses challenges with skill-based matchmaking. Even though my K/D is below one and I have a win rate of 5 percent, squadding up with my higher-skill friends means there will almost certainly be Apex Predators in our lo
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 health of the scene is also contingent upon the creators who support it — many of whom are gunning for an opportunity to represent an organization like SoaR. But signing with an organization isn’t always as simple as being a strong player, though that certainly doesn’t hurt. Dazs points to iiTzTimmy as an exam
When the COVID-19 crisis suddenly began ravaging communities around the world, national governments could offer little assurance to anxious citizens. We were lucky if we got anything more than contradictory instructions about masks, some vague instructions for handwashing and orders to “stay ho

Season Five of apex Legends Competitor Legends has introduced players to the brand new legend Loba . She is a treasure hunter with teleporting abilities, as well as an ultimate that can summon nearby loot for her and her teammates. Loba has access to some of the more interesting abilities that Apex Legends has seen yet, but many players may not exactly know how to use her properly or fight against her abilities as another character. This guide is here to make sense of Loba and all of the new abilities added to Season F
Players who find themselves having to go up against Loba may find several of her abilities frustrating and difficult to defend against. One of the biggest things to keep in mind right after dropping is that if you see an enemy playing as Loba, then it is probably a good idea to not loot in the same area as them. That character will have the advantage of finding the best loot in the area, so players are likely to lose that fi
