Mirage has quickly ascended to be the poster child of the game in many ways, thanks in large part to his over the top personality. It should come as no surprise that he received a brand new skin in Season 5 that's pretty stel

Just like with the Off The Record skin discussed in the last entry, the Bootlegger skin has a sister skin that's pretty much a palette swap. This one also happens to be the variant that places an emphasis on red, black, and white as its color focus. This skin makes Loba look very dapper and fits into the aesthetic theme of the entire season. People will often use the phrase "dressed to kill" and Loba is communicating every bit of it with this outfit. It could also be mistaken as someone's created character in Red Dead Onli

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

Among all of the care package weapons, the Kraber is one of the ones that's still stuck to them and is a rare commodity. Most don't realize that this powerful sniper can down any legend in the game with a single headshot. This makes it an unstoppable weapon in the right hands, and to those who are most casual, it can be quite intimidating. The Kraber deals massive damage in general, so if you're not the type of player who excels at precise shots still take it upon yourself to get familiar with

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

Her scarlet red hair and matching eyeshadow do a great job of contrasting her outfit and making her face become the focal point of the entire thing. You better hope that you're not her target because you don't stand a cha

Big names in gaming like Apex Legends Season 24 changes Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , Valorant , Rainbow Six Siege , and more have a worldwide following with servers everywhere except Africa. As an African gamer, I find it insulting and hypocritical that these companies force us to read Black Lives Matter messages every time we start a game, yet most black people aren't allowed to get the best experience from

Gaming isn't only about games. It's a social experience to connect people. This is even more true in the time of COVID-19. Playing online together is one of the few activities that separated families and friends can do together and is a way to bond. Right now, siblings are shooting each other from across the world in Fortnite , and friends are scoring against each other in FIFA . Sadly African players don't get to join the party. They must put up with terrible lag and non-stop connection issues if they want to play. Not only is this a frustrating experience for them, but it kills the fun for their overseas teammates with a decent connect

Quite frankly, I think it's disgusting that these publishers have the nerve to put Black Lives Matter banners on their games when most black people aren't allowed to play them without issues. To me, it's the modern-day equivalent of a "No Africans Allowed" sign. African gamers aren't asking for special treatment, We just want to be treated the same as everybody e

Earlier, the Off The Record skin was discussed, and that happened to be the sister skin to this one, Purple Reign. Instead of the red, black, and white color combination, Purple Reign is all about the color in its namesake. Ranging from royal hues to very pastel leaning vibrance, this skin has Loba popping off of the screen. The thigh-high boots definitely make her look like a rich mob boss in the inner city of a cyberpunk infused future. The pop of pink throughout helps the skin remain interesting, yet cohes

Out of all of the non-care package sniper rifles in the game, the Longbow is the best of the bunch. Back in Season 3 , it received a rate of fire increase and it hasn't looked back since. In Season 5 the change was made so now the Skullpiercer attachment could be used on it, which greatly increases its headshot dam

The same goes for Riot Games, Ubisoft, and most other publishers. They've all released statements claiming to support black people and end racism, yet Africa isn't part of their plans and isn't worthy of their services. They may bring up the old argument about a lack of players and lack of infrastructure, but that's simply untrue. Africa has a large, vibrant gaming community who have to suffer from constant connectivity issues to follow their passion. Both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Service also have functioning data centers in Africa to facilitate gaming serv

Many of the legends in the game have rare animations that only come up ever so often, and many of them are where players can see references or easter eggs to other entertainment properties. Revenant has a rare animation tied to his Ultimate ability, where his hand is embraced by another hand then flipped over. This is a direct reference to a scene in 2016's Suicide Squad where the Enchantress embraces her human form and is a visual representation of the physical manifestation the witch has when she takes over the body of June Mo
