While players at the non-competitive team level play a variety of characters for different reasons, players vying for a Solos crown while playing as one of the game’s less-popular characters may not stand much of a cha

Battle royale games are seemingly inspired by The Hunger Games . People go into an arena and are forced to survive. One person comes out. Of the battle royale games, The Culling seems to take the most inspiration from the popular book ser

One theory mixes game animation lag with in-game physics. Occasionally in Apex Legends , a player’s death animation will separate from their death box. This frequently happens when gamers drop in on the Supply Ship and fall victim to another team. The example below is unrelated to the ghost sightings, but shows the character's body falling off the ship, leaving a death box beh

**** Throughout the past few months, _ Apex Legends _ players have been sharing images that seem to imply there may be a ghost — or series of ghosts — lurking in the game’s backdrop. Even video game news site _ Dexerto _ weighed in on Apex Legends ghost sightings in a recent story titled, " Apex Legends players come across mysterious ‘ghosts’ in Kings Canyo

Finally, there's still a question as to why or how this would manifest out of thin air. As mentioned previously, Apex Legends players frequently experience in-game lag, and it's particularly noticeable in crowded early-game zones such as Supply Ship. It’s possible that this apparent manifestation reflected a lag situation common in the g

Potential ideas include slowing down the regeneration of Pathfinder’s zip line, introducing a way to tear down the zip lines similar to the way players can break Wattson’s fences, or introducing a grapple gun-type tool in the environment that allows other characters to grapple a limited number of times. Wraith may be a bit tougher, but perhaps certain player attributes, such as Caustic's gas, can cause the character to still take damage while in the void. Of course, it's worth noting that players are likely to push back against such major nerfs to either of these favorite charact

The player moves to pursue the enemy by checking behind the rock, obstructing the line of sight even more as the player sneaks behind the wall. And, though this seamless escape would appear to require perfect timing, it's certainly possible given the time allocated the view obstructions. Further, it's also possible that a lag-related net code issue resulting in a frame rate stutter on the opponent's end may have bolstered their ability to retreat undetec

It wouldn’t be strange for the game’s developer, Respawn, to incorporate mysterious new elements into the game in an effort to ramp up player enthusiasm for new content. The company has done so in the past, with a prime example being the addition of bounce pads by Market in advance of Octane’s rele

With both games offering similar things, but with huge differences, it is hard to tell which one might be the fit for you. Though its hard to make a ruling on which one is definitively better, here are the major strengths and weaknesses of each game and how they stack up to each ot

Respawn Entertainment announced that it will soon introduce Solos as a limited time mode in _ Apex Legends _ . This revelation follows speculation that a previous Electronic Arts statement referring to a major event involving "one of the most fan-requested features since the launch of Apex" was simply an option for no-fill squa

Respawn could also strive to make sure that the lobbies are evenly distributed or, at the very least, not heavily weighted to consist of one character. However, that may pose challenges from a development perspective due to issues rerouting players to new servers based on their character selecti

However, a Solos Mode is a curiosity in this game, given that the game has its genesis in team play. Team compositions seem designed to balance one another out (if not always effectively), allowing players to combine their characters’ unique skills to become champions of the arena. The goal in having multiple characters is that there is some variance on the battlefield, which is something that’s in jeopardy in a Solos M

One title that has been rumored to appear at Square Enix's conference is Collection of Mana, which is a name that was recently trademarked by the company. The name seems to refer to a localized version of the Seiken Densetsu Collection, which is a Japanese-exclusive title for the Nintendo Switch that contains the first three Mana ga

To be clear, Solos Ranked Mode Bugs is an excellent solution to the problem of matching with sub-par random teammates when the only option is team play. Often, players find themselves matched with others who are lousy players, poor sports, or just generally to

Apex Legends was the new battle royale game from developer Respawn that came out of nowhere. However, this approach seemed to work for the better. With class-based mechanics based on games like Overwatch , Apex Legends is quickly finding its audie
