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
It would normally be much higher on the list but has been knocked down a bit as Season 5 has relegated it to care packages. The move also came with some nice buffs, but remember that shotguns are better when equipped with precision choke attachme
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
People assume her Ultimate Ability should be used with damage in mind, Project Scout but the best players understand its limits and will use it strategically as a way to zone other teams and force them into action. Use it as a tenderizer before you launch a full-on assa
The theme of Season 5 seems to be centered on exploration, discovery, and riches. Loba's Huntswoman skin has the skilled assassin looking like a Victorian bounty hunter. The forest green and cream outfit is accented by the dark brown leather of her accessories and brings the entire look toget
If you wouldn't have shown people near the game's release that Gibraltar would become a top-tier legend in the game they would have likely laughed at you. He was once considered unplayable as his sluggish movement speed and giant hitbox made him almost impossible to win w
He now can revive a fallen teammate while remaining invisible, which is huge. Depending on your play style you can use the invisibility he gets from his Ultimate to either disengage and flee from a battle or use it to get real aggressive and stealth attack oppone
A new zone in Season 5, Salvage replaces the combined area of Skulltown and Thunderdome. It’s a very active zone with a lot of loot, and there are only a few ways to escape should a player land here and find themselves facing numerous other squads. Players also have to be careful of the water, because it’s very easy to fall off the map while fighting h
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
The Slum Lanes can be a bit of a maze to newer players but the good thing about this area is that it can be easy to get lost when meeting up with other players. Unless someone is using Bloodhound or Crypto, this area is easy to get the jump on others and escape if needed. The area has a lot of loot chests here as well but they are spread out and most of the loot is just lying on the floor in each building. Not a lot of players come to this location and is a good place to go if avoidance of the pack is the strat
The Pit is frequently busy. It’s not always ideal because the squads have limited places to move, little cover and few ways to escape. Still, with highly mobile characters or characters with protective tactical abilities such as Bangalore’s smoke, Revenant ’s silence or Gibraltar’s dome shield, players can emerge from this zone victori
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
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
This is a fun, if extremely active, drop location. Its entryway via the portal in the sky means trap characters such as Caustic and Wattson can quickly set up shop here and block other players out. However, teams also choose to land at the buildings just south of labs, meaning players will likely face fights as they try to exit. Labs now has an additional backdoor area that funnels into Capacitor, so players have several ways to escape should they find themselves in a b
