His last name Nox is a clever play on NOx which is a noun for oxides of nitrogen, more specifically as pollutants in the atmosphere. As someone who relies on toxic fumes to overcome his enemies, it's a great way to tie-in his defining characteristics back into his n

Apex Legends has its third season around the corner, and there are plenty of things to be excited about, but also a few things that fans should be cautious about. The third season is called Meltdown, and, on top of introducing a new legend, it will come with a brand-new battle pass, hopefully full of really cool unlockable rewa

The kindest way to describe the current state of Apex Legends is that it has destroyed its own potential in its pending death by a thousand cuts. One indicator of a game’s popularity is its viewership numbers on Twitch , which tell a story of how interested people are in watching the game's content. Although not representative exactly of the number of players in the game, we can see a steady decline over the past six mon

King's Canyon definitely had its nooks and crannies for crafty players to tuck themselves into to avoid a fight or prepare an ambush, but the sheer number of hiding spots and crevices in World's Edge is almost unreal in compari

Another idea relates back to the reason for the hack itself. Because the original hack gave Crypto a way to determine a character's win odds in any game, it's possible that the security breach required the team to move the PS5 exclusive Games due to the corrupted sys

In what may or may not be a nod to Borderlands , World's Edge features a number of "vaults" stuffed with top tier loot that will give your squad a definite advantage. The trick is actually getting inside of t

This recent controversy is problematic because it reeks of the manipulative practices we have seen from EA. These loot boxes are terrible for consumers, and rather than providing the items directly, encourage consumers to keep buying until they win the items they desire. These loot box mechanics are exactly what has governments up in arms as they seem to promote gambling to the target audience, which can range from underage youth to adu

The lab was constantly experimenting trying to come up with stronger and more efficient formulas to be the most effective. This constant state of experimentation and iteration was likely the cause of Caustic's mental sh

Many people think that Apex Legends was a flash in the pan, as its numbers on Twitch and other gaming-centric sites dropped since launch. The truth is that there are very few things that can compete with League of Legends or Fortnite , so comparing numbers to those titans is unf

The worst (or best, depending on your preference) part of leaving King's Canyon behind for a lot of players has to be the loss of Skulltown, the consistently hot drop location that promised a fight the moment your feet hit the ground. However, it certainly didn't take players long to find its equivalent in World's E

It turns out that rummaging through things you shouldn't online could cause you to lose everything and everyone you love. He was hunted by powerful men, and, in turn, became something and someone his previous self wouldn't recogn

Respawn has done a good job at spacing out the addition of new weapons and in exchange have added mods that make previously horrible or low-tier guns somewhat usable. Adding new guns changes the game in major ways, as it can change the learning curve of the game as players have one more gun to become familiar w

However, as players die, they come back as zombie-like beings who can use strong melee abilities to kill still-living Legends. These creatures, known collectively as the Shadow Squad, can’t use weapons and have very little health. But, they move at fast speeds and can down living players in one or two melee atta

At the start of Season 2, an outage at Repulsor allowed wildlife to enter the arena . The fact that someone had destroyed the tower meant animals were free to roam the area. This included beasts like flyers and leviath

The main thing that Fortnite has over Apex Legends is that its map is constantly evolving every few weeks, whereas Respawn has taken a different approach to updates. Since launch, the map has only seen one major evolution, and their updates overall come at intervals of a couple of weeks for the most p

It's easy to miss, but in the cabin at the front of the train there is a button that can be pressed to bring it to a halt. Stopping the train at a station can cause it to reveal several supply bins that otherwise remain hidden underground, so keep your eyes peeled and move quickly to grab the extra loot while it's accessi

Earlier, the addition of new mods for weapons was discussed and how those can benefit the game in ways that adding a whole new weapon can't. Well, adding a brand-new weapon can also be exciting, and it's already been announced that a charge rifle will be entering the ranks in the third sea
