The dirt rises higher than one might expect, which causes it to appear in front of the storm as a visual obstruction. As the video continues, the environment around Lifeline produces a dirt-like trail as the player moves forw

Octane, when stimmed is the fastest-moving legend in all of Apex Legends , and that movement in a first-person shooter provides a naturally competitive advantage. Add in a Bloodhound who is tracking enemy movement and 100t phony is constantly on the hunt, and that alone is a team that is focused on pushing and pressuring opposing te

"On 8/13 we'll be trying out a Solos Mode in Apex for a limited time," Jayfresh_Respawn, whose real name is Jay Frechette, posted on Reddit. "We'll talk more about Solos when it's live and you've had a chance to play it. For now we're going to put it out there and see what happens and what kind of feedback we g

Meanwhile, those using Caustic can keep setting up gas traps, ensuring no team edges too close to the fortified walls. One of Caustic’s perks allows him to lob his gas traps much further, which should help lock down a sizeable area easily. His Ultimate is one of the most powerful abilities in the game and guarantees a squad wipe if deployed at the right moment. Defensive-minded players waiting for the fight to come to themselves will find a lot to like about this c

And, while most legends can’t keep up with Bloodhound’s elevated speed in his Ultimate, Vantage, and Revenant’s Tactical should help close distance, ensuring all party members can have an input in the fi

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

We previously mentioned the fact that sniping is seriously hard in this game. Players move very quickly, and just hitting the target is hard enough. For these same reasons, head-shots are also very difficult to pull off in Apex Legends . In fact, these shots are so difficult that a lot of professional players choose to simply aim for the chest and body inst

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

With a teammate playing as Octane, his stim ability only adds more speed to the chaos, and players looking for an ideal composition to catch enemies by surprise will need to look no further. Additionally, with the introduction of new Perks, Octane takes substantially less damage when using his stim ability. It should be noted, though, that the speed boost doesn’t stack up. As such, players using Octane’s stim will not get an additional boost with Ballistic or Mad Maggie’s Ultimate abil

Quality of life includes d-pad navigation for menus and increased input customization. For example, players can now swap the actions of the bumpers/triggers on controllers. The much-touted hitbox issue has been addressed with better adjusted boxes for Gibraltar, Caustic, and Pathfinder. One neat addition is Apex Legends ’ newly added support for Razer Chroma peripherals. Razer’s line of illuminated keyboards will now shine certain colors in reaction to actions performed in game. An example is that the keys will shine the same the color as the player’s skydiving smoke trail. Colors will also flash when an Ultimate is ready, change when firing or taking damage, and m

Fuse remains one of the best aggressors in Apex Legends . Thanks to his all-offensive kit, Fuse can startle enemy teams with his Knuckle Clusters, especially in the game’s final zones with limited room for movement. He can also stack grenades and lob them at great distances, which gels superbly with Horizon’s Ultimate ability Black Hole, which sucks enemy players in to restrict their advan

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

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
