It seems easy to imagine, then, that a random lobby would quickly become full of individual players who have all chosen the same one or two characters, knowing that these characters provide unmatched tactical advantages. And, going up against a lobby full of Wraiths and Pathfinders doesn’t seem like a fun prospect for someone playing a character like a Caustic, given that both Wraith’s phase and Pathfinder’s grapple make it easy for them to get away from Caustic's Nox

It almost seems as though each character was designed with solo play in mind, given that the only character with an ability that’s no longer useful at all in a Solos Mode is Lifeline. Though Lifeline will no longer be able to leverage the ability to quickly revive teammates, she still has a fast heal as part of her passive, which is extremely helpful as a solo pla

However, the potential benefits of an Epic or Legendary body shield may make it worth it as these shields, which sometimes appear in Lifeline’s package, provide 50 additional hit points over a regular white shi

When Octane decided a course record was more important to him than his body he found himself in a world of hurt. It also didn't help that he now had no legs and would likely live the rest of his days in a wheelchair. Luckily for him, his friend Lifeline helped him get situated with a pair of bionic legs that he can now replace at a moments not

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

Each legend in this comp wears multiple hats. Pathfinder, for instance, can scan for zones as well as enemies. Alter can bait enemies into taking her Tactical or Ultimate and Loba can craft banners, ensuring no player is left beh

Octane represents the disabled community as well as Latinos who both often find themselves unrepresented in most modern video games. His last name is pretty well known and is the first half of his parents largely successfully business, which we'll touch on la

A big reason why Octane turned to extreme sports and adrenaline-pumping activities was due to him often getting bored and being unable to sit still. These types of behaviors have often been linked to ADHD, and instead of receiving medication from his parents, he turned to near-death experien

She can do this by healing them with her abilities and allowing the team to retain their healing supplies, as well as giving them items via her Care Package ultimate. If you're skilled with a firearm you'll be the bringer of both life and de

However, a Bloodhound running their Ultimate in a Solos game becomes a moving target. The noisy ultimate means multiple enemy players will hear the character, allowing them to team up on the Bloodhound from all different directi

While this characters’ benefits are fairly obvious from a team play perspective, the question lingers as to how useful this Ultimate, when paired with the character’s Tactical Ability to build strings of low-damage stun fences, would be for a solo pla

When you spend a majority of your life committed to helping those in need, you're bound to pick up a few tricks of the trade along the way. Along with being a superb healer, Lifeline can revive fallen teammates faster than any other character in Apex Legends Alter Rework Legen

The fact that the Gun Shield can absorb extra damage in combat is huge, but unfortunately, few choose to exercise this advantage in combat. It takes a moment to materialize and once it’s done rendering, it’s extremely visible, even from far away. Pair this with the fact that players can only use it when aiming down sights, and it’s simply not effective in medium- or close-range gunfig

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

Additionally, the character’s zip line ultimate lets players reach areas of the map that others can’t reach. As in most shooter games, high ground is extremely advantageous, particularly for both hiding out of the view of players on the battlefield and for landing headshots on oppone

Representation in entertainment isn't only about the color of the skin or the facial design of a character. Fully fleshing them out as three-dimensional people with a cultural and societal depth that adds to inclusiveness separates those who attempt it and those who commit to it as a development philoso
