In Season 5 the Wingman still isn't a top tier weapon in the game, but it is nice that it saw some love via skins. Every season the game tends to end the battle pass with a pair of skins for a specific weapon. The most notable was when the R-301 Carbine received a pair of rhinoceros inspired skins, with one being gold and the other silver. The Wingman received the same treatment and its Precision Caliber skin happens to have a flashier golden design, whereas its counterpart which we'll get into later is a lot more sub

As applied to randoms, this optional metric would be a terrific way to incentivize good behavior. Perhaps the result of numerous positive endorsements could be a guaranteed legendary item, a unique skydive emote or a special profile ba

On the other end, in slang Loba is shorthand for describing an attractive woman. On top of being one of the best thieves alive, Loba also happens to be rather easy on the eyes and likely has men and women developing crus

The same goes for Riot Games, Ubisoft, and most other publishers. They've all released statements claiming to support black people and end racism, yet Africa isn't part of their plans and isn't worthy of their services. They may bring up the old argument about a lack of players and lack of infrastructure, but that's simply untrue. Africa has a large, vibrant gaming community who have to suffer from constant connectivity issues to follow their passion. Both Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Service also have functioning data centers in Africa to facilitate gaming serv

In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Legends maps Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic

The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin

It should come as no surprise that Loba has a hard time interacting with robots and finds them offputting. Even someone as gentle and kind as Pathfinder feels the wrath of Loba's disdain. When something as traumatic as what she witnessed at a young age happens, it can leave emotional scars that are almost impossible to erase. There may come a day where Loba's hate for robots, in general, dies down, but don't ever expect her to forgive Revenant for what he did to her and her parents on that fateful

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

One solution is the one that Overwatch implemented, which allows players to endorse other players at the end of each game. In that game, endorsements only reflect positive attributes, such as Sportsmanship, Good Teammate and Shot Cal

The Mastiff has somehow made its way into the regular rotation of weapons, while at the same time retaining most of its incredible strength. It should come as no surprise that with it become more common in battle it has shot up the tier list of weapons in Season 5. Over time don't be surprised if it falls down the tier list as players figure out if its reduction in power hurts its overall usefulness. Either way, it was a bold but welcoming decision to make several of the care package weapons spawn in the overwo

Gaming isn't only about games. It's a social experience to connect people. This is even more true in the time of COVID-19. Playing online together is one of the few activities that separated families and friends can do together and is a way to bond. Right now, siblings are shooting each other from across the world in Fortnite , and friends are scoring against each other in FIFA . Sadly African players don't get to join the party. They must put up with terrible lag and non-stop connection issues if they want to play. Not only is this a frustrating experience for them, but it kills the fun for their overseas teammates with a decent connect
