If you were an early adopter of apex e district map Legends then you remember when Gibraltar and Caustic were considered bottom tier due to their movement and hitboxes. These days Gibraltar stands as a top pick despite getting nerfed constantly at this point. With the addition of the new Legend Rampart, Gibraltar’s usefulness only increased as his abilities offer natural counters to the new Legend. The Evo Shield changes in Season 6 make his area of effect abilities a lot more useful in team fights, as w
Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, I feel, because whatever perceived “gendered” physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here’s this goofy and sweet beefcake who’s gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h
Revenant was one of the rare cases in which a new character addition wasn’t something that broke or altered the game. He was quite lackluster and his usefulness was as close to being non-existent as possible. Since then he’s seemingly received buff after buff and those changes have made him a competent legend that’s finding himself on plenty of team compositions. People should never underestimate the fact that he can crouch-walk faster and climb higher than any other legend in the g
And look – I’m not against sexy character designs. Actually, I usually like them! I’m a big fan of Senran Kagura and Dead Or Alive, and love the lengths fighting games go to make characters as horny as possible. But there’s a way to have something be sexy and make sense, which Overwatch just never does. Plus, the Overwatch designs pander to the dullest and straightest among us – not to mention the whitest. They uphold the hegemony of white, European beauty standards and apply them to characters of color, which just flat-out su
Health colors are fairly simple; it’s either gold if players are skilled enough for fast-paced headshots or the color of the enemies shield. One of the biggest time wasters are ammo decisions. Each type of ammo is color specific and will be a quick indicator as to whether they need to grab the l

The Training Mode in both games is also slightly different. PUBG Mobile has Training Camp, while PUBG has Camp Jackal.

The consoles are a bit lower due to the less optimal controls but it’s still intimidating enough.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is often touted as the pioneer among all battle royale video games these days as it popularized one of the most popular modes of gameplay in gaming history: proving you’re better than everyone else by killing them.

Revenant isn’t a powerhouse like Gibraltar and can’t pose a massive threat from a distance, but he has a very specific set of tools at his disposal that can make him one of the more intimidating and threatening legends to come across in battle. Revenant can take control of the battle by distracting you and shifting the goalposts, so to speak, and as such you should use him with caution and confidence al
The SMG weapons, such as the R99 and Prowler , are absolutely a safe bet, and so are the general assault rifles, such as R-301 and Flatline . All of these offer excellent damage at their respective ranges. A shotgun, like the Mastiff , is also a good choice. You can activate Death Protection and just charge into an enemy stronghold, ready to fling grenades and blast your shotgun. Once the enemies whittle down your health, you’ll find yourself back at the totem ready to heal
