It's ridiculous that publishers don't realize the potential of African gamers. This untapped market could drastically increase their revenue and add to the already booming esports industry. African gamers relentlessly soldier on despite being shunned by publishers, and are at a constant disadvantage. If they had a level playing field, they could easily give other teams in the world a run for their mo

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

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

Further, this could help balance the lobbies. The theory would be that someone who has gotten "good teammate" accolades has earned the right to not have to squad with potentially toxic teammates. It wouldn’t have to be the case every game, but the "good teammate" would overall have the benefit of playing far fewer games with potentially toxic rand

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

Though relatively quiet, because of its close proximity to Labs, Hydro Dam and Repulsor, it’s common for squads that have looted those areas to move to Swamps to see what else they can find. It’s also very easy to get separated from teammates here, so keep an eye one anot

When Apex Legends first came out, Bunker was a popular spot for Caustic players as he could set his traps and make it difficult for storm point Update non-Caustics to survive the drop. But now, as more people are playing Caustic, it’s less than ideal as a drop location. It typically doesn’t have a lot of loot and the narrow hallway makes players susceptible to grenade s

Repulsor isn’t quite as busy as it was prior to Season 5, likely due to recent map additions, which people are still eager to explore. Players intending to drop here only to see numerous other squads can instead head to the area west of the zone overlooking houses and ravine. They can quickly loot and then make their way back east to take on teams that may not be fully healed due to fight

Caustic is an interesting case of a legend being somewhat overpowered in very specific situations. His bulkiness and movement speed make him a giant target out in the open, but give an enclosed space he's unstoppable in the right ha

Players who find themselves having to go up against Loba may find several of her abilities frustrating and difficult to defend against. One of the biggest things to keep in mind right after dropping is that if you see an enemy playing as Loba, then it is probably a good idea to not loot in the same area as them. That character will have the advantage of finding the best loot in the area, so players are likely to lose that fi

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

Video games should be fun. But issues with random players detract from the experience. It’s time for Respawn to step in and develop a strategy for dealing with players who can’t play with basic respect and dece

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

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

Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi
