But he points out that _ Apex Legends _ has, on the whole, attracted older players who tend to be more mature than some of the competitive _ Fortnite _ players. For him, this signals more sustainability as a competitive game. Plus, it helps that the Respawn team remains continually committed to improving the g

This skin does the impossible and makes her look regal and elegant, while at the same time not taking away how composed and capable she is. Bangalore is a boss, and it's only fitting she has a skin that exudes that same ene

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 Buffs skins in Season 5, which is a bo

"There's no way I can keep up this momentum forever, where I'm working the day job, SoaR Gaming, and then streaming like all at once," he says. "The only reason I feel like I'm able to do is that I'm relatively young, for n

His skin is called Fool's Gold and gives off strong conquistador vibes. He looks like a weird mix between a famous conquistador and a bumbling steampunk pilot. Mirage seems to often be toeing the line between competent threat and naive goofball. It's kind of his thing at this po

He can't die either, as his owners can resurrect him the moment he dies and bring him back to life. Now he's on a hunt for anything or anyone related to Hammond Robotics , which operates in the Outla

The Devotion has seemingly become the best light machine gun in the game overnight. All light machine guns suffer from the issue of extended reload times, but the Devotion makes up for that in several areas. For being such a large weapon it someone remains pretty accurate and has little recoil feedback when firing. Add this to the large numbers it packs in the damage department and there's no mystery why it has ascended to be one of the best weapons in the entire g

You might be scratching your head wondering how on Earth the Prowler made it into the Top 10 when considering the best weapons in the game for Season 5 . It all comes down to a single attachment called the select-fire hop-up. When attached it allows players to turn the gun into an assault rifle. A fully equipped Prowler turns the unwieldy and overlooked gun into something quite formidable in battle. It shouldn't be your go-to weapon, but it can make its mark in a pinch with the right pieces in pl

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

"I came here for musical theater," he shares, explaining how he even managed to land a role in the Broadway production of _ Wicked _ . "Even though the money was decent, I came to a roadblock. I was like, man, I should just do YouTube, streaming and this stuff, more full ti

Finally, poor Pathfinder's grapple has had its cooldown increased from 15 to 35 seconds. The developers explain in the patch notes that they don't think Pathfinder should be able to reposition so easily multiple times in a fight, and we tend to ag

Though relatively quiet, because of its close proximity to Labs, Hydro Dam and Repulsor, it’s common for squads that have looted those areas to move to Swamps to see what else they can find. It’s also very easy to get separated from teammates here, so keep an eye one anot

The Rig typically boasts tons of good loot and has a charging station. Rarely will more than one squad choose to land here as it can be a detrimental area depending on the circle progression and zone, which may cause a team to have to push through Capacitor, a much busier area. Still, it’s worth it for the solid loot, plus players can easily push over to the remnants of Relay for even more loot before picking off any squads at Artill

Because of its central location and possibility of high-tier loot, Containment is often a very hot drop zone. Flyers locked away in cages will squawk to give away a person’s position, so try to avoid getting near them while looting. The elevated structure on the west side of the zone typically has plenty of good items, so if you drop in the zone as a team, two players can take this on to prevent too much separat

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
