In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic

As applied to randoms, this optional metric would be a terrific way to incentivize good behavior. Perhaps the result of numerous positive endorsements could be a guaranteed legendary item, a unique skydive emote or a special profile ba

As for quests... there aren't any extra battle royale Gameplay pass challenges. However, it can be quite a grind to get to tier 100 of PUBG's survivor pass , and it's up to the player to decide whether the grind is worth the rewa

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

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

Apex Legends is currently making its way through Season 5, and as with all of its previous seasons, there are plenty of cosmetics to acquire. Some of them are for legends, while many others are meant to spice up the look of the weapons you've already been using for well over a year in Respawn 's hit free-to-play game. With that many new skins in the game, it can be hard figuring out which ones are the best of the bunch. Luckily this article will hopefully do exactly that for you. Let's now look at the 10 best weapon skins in Season 5 of Apex Legen

Within the gaming community, there are countless examples. The ones mentioned here speak to major, big-budget releases. But even when it comes to indies with small but loyal followings, development teams are hard at work keeping these games fr

Players are first introduced to Loba when she is barely 9 years old. At the time her name was unknown, as she was an innocent victim during Revenant's introduction video in which he murders her parents. Now that she's entered the fray of the Apex Games, she is no longer a little girl, but now a woman at the age of 34. It's been 25 years since Revenant changed her life forever, and since then she's lived a life of crime where she established herself as one of the greatest living thieves in existe

About a month ago, after a week-long delay due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, Apex Legends introduced Season 5: Fortune's Favor. It’s the most successful season launch to date , according to a recent press release. Anecdotally, I can attest to the fact that I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game since the beginning of the pande

The Evolved Flow skin for the Peacekeeper is appealing in a very unappealing way. As a skin, it's a little messy and chaotic, but for some reason, it works on the Peacekeeper. This is likely due to the shape of the shotgun and helps the design feel more like a gradient and less like a mashing of two separate desi

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

Toxicity is nothing new in gaming. But I fail to understand why we should continue to allow this behavior to continue if there’s something we can do to mitigate it and reward those who don’t engage. I’ve had friends uninstall Apex Legends due to frustration with random squadma

As a result of the pandemic, my workload is significantly lighter. Even if there were more to do, thoughts about the crisis around me frequently zap my energy. But there are a few things that have kept me sane through the crisis, like cocktail delivery services and a friend's HBO Go passw
