There is something almost soothing in the brutal simplicity of the Heavy. A fortress on two truly hefty legs, the Heavy is the champion of stalwart defense through carefully applied explosions. Every team needs an anchor, and having an ability literally called Anchor alongside a wide range of area controlling abilities make the Heavy the prime candidate for the
Outside of that, Ninja Theory also has the mysterious Project: Mara , a game it announced back in January. The title goes further to explore the real-world and grounded representation of mental terror based on first hand accounts and in-depth research. Not much is known about the game outside of the promises that it’s going to be an experimental title attempting to showcase a new storytelling medium for gam
Whatever the studio is working on, it does appear to be in a playable state as Phil Spencer has previously commented on the work the team has been doing and posted a picture of himself play testing the ga
The two opening skills for the support are both incredibly useful in their own right. Empower essentially hands an action point economy point off to an ally, delegating the damage-doing to a more specialized soldier for a net increase in hurt thrown the enemy’s way. Stim is simple and direct healing, a nice pop of 100 points at the skill’s first level. While not exactly overly impressive, that little boost can be game-changing – 100 points of health can mean the difference between a soldier making it out of a crossfire alive or d
No one can put out focused damage like the Sniper. Given the proper space (and ideally elevation) to work, the ranged specialist can inflict heavy damage on any foe, softening up hard targets and mopping up damaged enemies in a single deadly sweep. The skills of the class allow the player to choose their particular flavor of deadly at a dista
Surprisingly, a few studios were not present, though it’s likely that they’ll make an appearance at a later date. Microsoft confirmed it has more digital events planned in 2020, so it hasn’t exhausted everything planned for the Xbox Series
Rare currently has a number of projects in development at the moment, with the first being a Sea of Thieves port to the Xbox Series X. Like Gears 5 , the open sea pirate adventure is going to be optimized for the new console this holiday season, though Microsoft isn’t giving any details as to what that actual means. So far, the company has simply said that Sea of Thieves will take advantage of the advanced hardware inside the Xbox Serie
Gears Tactics , a join collaboration between Splash Damage and The Coalition, is also getting upgraded to 4k and 60 frames per second as well. Outside of enhancing already available titles and keeping Gears 5 updated with new content, it’s unknown what direction The Coalition may be heading in for its next major title. Gears 6 seems like a no-brainer, but only time will t
Though there are many ways to play the Scout, the class is somewhat unique in how all four of its specialization trees contribute to the making of an expert ambush predator. The skills come together to emphasize speed and stealth, amplifying the cloak while offering a treasure trove of ways to put the hurt on the Locusts. Some particular standouts that can be immensely useful for top tier smash-and-dash approaches are Escape Route, Demolition expert, and Anticipation. Escape Route is ideal for finishing blows that would otherwise be high risk – having cloak pop immediately after executing a downed enemy makes for a scout who can make a dynamic hit with little risk of retaliation. Demolition expert is the trapper’s choice, allowing the Scout to plant grenades and proximity mines while remaining hidden. Plant bombs, duck out of dodge, take shots, watch the fireworks – easy money. Using Anticipation can allow these skills, and as many others as the imagination will allow, to be used in fatal unity. Starting the round with five moves allows for some truly complex strategies to be enacted, shifting the challenge from limited resources to the limit of the player’s creativity, which is, of course, a great place to be. It is also worthwhile to pick up Ambush and Free Cloak to boost the Cloak and Obfuscate to share its effects with the team. Never hurts to be invisible in a gunfi
Lastly, it is important to know your enemy. There are four different classes of enemies in Tactics, and each one has their own abilities and stats. It is important to learn what classes look like and what they do before rushing into battle because some enemies are more dangerous than others. Knowing how to defeat a certain type of enemy before engaging can give the player an upper h
It is especially lucky for this class that one of the first skill available is one of the most useful in the entire game: Fast Fingers. The automatic reload on a hit at the skill’s first level is incredibly beneficial, but the second level is where the ability truly shines. Getting an action point refund along with the reload is effectively a reset for the Sniper – a clean slate and a whole turn if used as an opener, or a last minute surge of damage if used to close out the ro
