This fun, bouncy castle of a zone based on Octane ’s jump pad ability has a lot of good loot, including a high-tier item in the ring of fire in the center of the zone. However, because of its good loot and its mobility options, it frequently attracts numerous teams, particularly if it’s directly off the dropship’s p

In Season 5 the Wingman still isn't a top tier weapon in the game, but it is nice that it saw some love via skins. Every season the game tends to end the battle pass with a pair of skins for a specific weapon. The most notable was when the R-301 Carbine received a pair of rhinoceros inspired skins, with one being gold and the other silver. The Wingman received the same treatment and its Precision Caliber skin happens to have a flashier golden design, whereas its counterpart which we'll get into later is a lot more sub

For the longest time, the Hemlok was seen as a burst assault rifle that should only be used as a last resort. In Season 5, however, it has quickly ascended in the meta to be a clear and decisive top ten choice. The Retrofitted skin makes the gun feel even more high-class and pairs nicely with the numerous new legend skins the season introduced. Whenever you pair a maroon color with gold and black accents you're already playing with house money in regards to creating a design people will want to acquire and eq

Loba's Ultimate may not be as strong as some other legends like Bangalore or Revenant, but it is an easy way to collect loot without running around an entire area. An excellent way to use this ability is to enter a high loot area and drop it down to find all the best loot very quickly. This even has a great use later in the match if players find themselves pinned down and running low on ammo or medical kits. This will allow the team to quickly stock up on any resources that could be found in the area without having to leave co

Sometimes in games, it feels like cosmetic items are universal and meant to work with a variety of characters, and sometimes it feels like they were made for an unnamed perfect pairing. The Gilded Hunt skin for the Charge Rifle definitely feels like the latter as the aesthetics of it magnetize it to the engineering legend, Wattson. The stark white coloring with subtle patterns makes it feel more like a tool and less like a weapon. Considering she dabbles with electricity, maybe the Charge Rifle is Wattson's preferred gun of cho

Unfortunately for Pathfinder mains, their robot buddy was the subject of the biggest legend nerf in Season 5. His grapple received a cooldown of 35 seconds, making his strength of optimal traversal a thing of the p

A simple location consisting of a few rooms and some floor loot, Market is a popular drop spot because of its central location on the map. If this location is at the earliest part of the dropship path, it’s almost guaranteed to be active. As an indoor space, this is yet another zone that’s good for making use of trap charact

Puns are an interesting slice of comedy as they happen to be very divisive. Some people love puns, and others hate them. The Kraber's Season 5 skin is called Magma Might, which for Pokémon fans feels like a play on the electric magnet Pokémon's name, Magnemite. Magma Might is about what you'd expect from a skin with that name as it looks like images of magma pools grafted onto the weapon like a weird form of wallpaper. In the meta the Kraber is currently a Top 5 weapon, so you may be seeing a lot of Magma Might in your fut

Season 5 of apex bunny hop Legends introduced major changes to Kings Canyon. With the developers’ choice to demolish Skulltown and Thunderdome, the Respawn team removed two of the hottest Kings Canyon drop locations from the game

Loba's name was a really smart choice because it serves a dual purpose with both its traditional meaning and what it means in slang. The name traditional means she-wolf which makes sense considering she's an independent woman who is fierce and willing to do what needs to be d

Loba's Ultimate Ability can actually be used against them. All players can access Loba's weapon teleporting device whether they are on that player's team or not. This means that if players happen to run across an enemy Loba's device they should try to stock up on a couple of things that are missing from their inventory. Additionally, if players are in a high loot area and see an enemy Loba, they should pick up any good loot they can find before their enemy can use their Ultimate and steal all of the epic and legendary g

Passive Ability- Eye For Quality: Eye for quality is a perfect ability because it will automatically highlight any nearby epic and legendary pieces of loot. Players will even be able to see this loot through walls if they are within ra

Water Treatment didn’t change much and is typically so-so as a drop location. It’s fairly secluded from the game’s other major zones. Still, it can be a good starting point as there’s rarely more than one other squad landing here. After the initial drop, it’s also rare that any enemy squads will make their way to Water Treatment unless the zone pushes them there. That makes it a good place to set up defe
