The Gauntlet looks strangely familiar to a skate park except it has a ring of fire and a ton of loot. It will be highly populated which means anyone coming into this area definitely needs their A-Game or it's going to be a quick match. There can be a great piece of loot in the fire ring by using the jump pads but the real attraction here is the easy access to multiple supply bins and the ability to move to the next looting locations right after. Most players will end up landing here and then going straight to the Market location right after or the Salvage area. It was designed with Octane in mind and if playing with him, take advantage of the open area and jump pads to speed up and get the drop on the oppone
Out of all of the non-care package sniper rifles in the game, the Longbow is the best of the bunch. Back in Season 3 , it received a rate of fire increase and it hasn't looked back since. In Season 5 the change was made so now the Skullpiercer attachment could be used on it, which greatly increases its headshot dam
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
Teams with very strategic approaches to combat will likely make Wattson a must in their team compositions. She has a set of abilities that are great at zoning and keeping control of a specific location. Wattson's Interception Pilon can also protect her team from enemy launchers and explosi
Not only did Season 5 bring with it a host of new changes, but it also introduced the new legend named Loba. She has a long history with Revenant, as she was the daughter of the man who Revenant killed in his introduction to the g
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
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
Video Epic Games Success 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 easiest fix would be to play only with players one trusts. However, one key issue is that my friends range from far better to me to far worse than me, which poses challenges with skill-based matchmaking. Even though my K/D is below one and I have a win rate of 5 percent, squadding up with my higher-skill friends means there will almost certainly be Apex Predators in our lo
This area can be either hit or miss with players dropping into it so it's a medium risk when it comes to encountering enemies. This place has a lot of loot crates and most of them are over a large area so be prepared to run. It's on the edge of the map so it tends to be out of the circle pretty quickly so make this location a quick loot and go. It does have a few buildings that are multi-leveled so combat doesn't get too crazy. Watch out for the corridors as going between buildings can have a trapping effect with players lulling others into the corridors and then flanking behind t
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
Through a series of multiple buffs by the team at Respawn, Gibraltar has landed in a place where he's quite powerful. His dome shield can save his team in a pinch, and his Ultimate can rain down enough damage to wipe entire squ
This tube-like area in Kings Canyon doesn't have too much loot but it's enough for a team of three to get and make due. It's a very good location to drop into as it has three exits all leading to other high loot areas like Slum Lane. This will allow the team to look at which location is under siege and either join in the fight or avoid it altogether. If meeting up with opponents here, there is not a ton of cover so going on the offense and small flanking maneuvers will be valuable tactics h
