Players looking to take fights early in the game should run this comp. Lifeline and Conduit can replenish the team's shields and health. Ballistic can take point as his revamped kit will serve those with a knack for gunfights better. On that note, Ballistic’s smart bullet deals slightly more damage. More notably, his Sling weapon now levels up with a player’s shi

This makes sense because the drop from the Supply Ship or any other high area such as an out-of-bound mountaintop zone would take several moments, which explains the delay between the kill feed and the visual render

Though an action-packed hero shooter 2025 on the surface, Apex can be deceptively deep when it comes to the different ways characters can interact together to form some real team cohesion. A Legend that may not thrive too much on their own could be invaluable in a squad that knows how to use their abilities to their fullest extent. This list will explore many of the best possible squad combinations in Apex Legen

A game which is so heavily reliant on close quarters combat is obviously going to have some seriously cool melee attacks, and Apex Legends is no different. When you find an enemy standing right in front of you, the best tactic is often melee. There are two types of melee in this game, kicking and punching. They both work in slightly different ways, and there's some strategy as to which one you cho

Right now, Epic Games still knows what they’re doing. When it turned Fortnite into a battle royale game, it turned out to be for the better. With constant support, a Battle Pass to monetize the game in a fair way, and more modes than just taking on 99 other players by yourself, there’s a lot of reason to try this game

Their abilities are all about analyzing player movement so they can figure out what the next best move is. A talented Bloodhound with a steady aim is the last thing you want to run into in King's Can

This game relies so heavily on speed that even a small boost is a big deal. Most players nowadays will tell you that unless you're shooting, you should holster your weapon. Players often find themselves sprinting towards the next objective, and moving fast is key to success. It's just another way to boost your speed, and you should take advantage of this tr

When you hear this distinct sound, you know that someone's shield has been depleted. Once an enemy's shield is gone, they're extremely vulnerable. So listen hard for this sound, because when you hear it, it's time to strike. Coordinate with your team and let them know when you hear someone's shield shatter, and you'll really succeed. It's just one of many sounds to listen

Players can tap into Alter’s Nexus even when knocked. As such, gamers can set up Alter’s Nexus before pushing a team. They can reinforce it with Caustic’s gas traps, should an opposition player take it, too. When knocked, players can fall back and rely on Lifeline for quick revives. This comp works well for players with a knack for fights as well as cagey te

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, the game has since been monetized poorly by Activision months after the game released. Microtransactions are plenty now, and crazy things like red dot sights can only be obtained by meeting a price tag. Had it not been for those additions, Blackout might’ve been the best battle royale g

While sniping from afar might be a viable tactic in other similar games, Apex Legends is all about close quarters conflict. At the very most, you'll have success from medium range. If you're hoping to snipe players from clifftops and balconies, you're going to be disappointed with this game. It quickly becomes obvious that this game was not designed with long-range firefights in m

When you're looting or switching out weapons, it's important to keep moving. Even when it feels like you need to stand still to do something, there's usually a way to move around slightly from side to side, which makes it harder for you to be hit by an enemy. This is a tactic used by Fortnite players and PUBG players, who "wiggle" from side to side anytime they find themselves station

You're much more likely to hit something this way. And if you're smart, you'll aim for the upper chest, which means you still have a slight chance of hitting someone in the head if they move in a certain way. Sure, there might be veterans out there who can pull off head-shots with certain weapons. But the main priority in this game is simply hitting the target, which is definitely hard when everyone's moving so f

The Respawn team buffed the character’s Eye of the Allfather Tactical Ability for Season 2, adding adjustments that improved its potential to briefly expose hidden enemies and follow their movements. This tactical is useful in a team play situation, as teammates can also learn enemies’ locations and hone in on them as a group. However, the fact that this tactical exposes the player’s own whereabouts fully counters any potential benefits in So
