Since a certain early December update went live, players across the board have reported a bug that deprives them of the visual throwing arc used for aiming grenade tosses. Since a single, well-placed throwable can change the entire course of a fight, it's likely needless to point out that this bug has been squarely blamed for many los

This is more than slightly puzzling considering the Ranked Leagues mode exists for the purpose of highly competitive & skill-based play, and there's been no shortage of fan pushback since its implementat

Taking Ninja’s advice, I’ve tried different strategies: Dropping hot every game, carrying shotguns only, consistently playing a single specific character (which is, by the way, something he also recommends to maximize your success with that character). Spoiler alert: I die a ton! It's tough to win a sniper fight with dual EVA-8s. But ultimately, this helped me learn how to better use these weap

Respawn's done really well when it comes to rolling out awesome new characters to choose from, so hopes here are pretty high. Leaks and rumors abound, with one potential candidate being "Revenant," who might actually be the spooky game master of the Halloween Shadowfall event. Other possibilities include " Reckoner, " with an interesting set of shield-stealing and damaging abilities, and a mysterious newcomer referred to as "Lo

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, players were thrilled to learn Apex Legends would be bringing back its Duos Mode for a short time. This is the second time the game has implemented an event featuring teams of two, and many players are interested in Duos Mode becoming permanent m

If Tinder’s not working out, there’s OKCupid, JDate, Farmers Only or whatever niche site is hot right now. To find a duo partner, on the other hand, a person is limited to a smattering of random Discords and game-specific sites. Initially, you know very little about the person you could be squadding up with. Maybe they’re cool and your relationship will morph into something special. But also, maybe they’ll rage and break their computer the first time they l

Weeks later, I invested in a gaming PC and revisited the chapter in the process. His advice impacted how I think about accessories. For example, I learned all about mouse DPI (dots per inch, for those of you who were are clueless as I was) and the relative benefits of different mouse pad sizes (big movements require a big pad). I learned wireless accessories can cause latency issues. I studied the pros and cons of different monitor sizes. I currently have a 30" monitor, but he posited a strong argument as to why I might choose a slightly smaller one in the future (essentially, something too big makes it hard to follow everything that’s happening on the scre

Climbing buff is ridiculous: Revenant’s climbing speed gets buffed in that he can climb up to eight (8) stories tall, which is 6-times higher than the ordinary Legend. This means he can climb shorter walls much fas

A duo partner also has to be someone with whom you have a compatible play style — and that's a tough thing to find. In order to succeed, both players need to be about the same skill level or, at the very least, have skills that complement one anot

Given the holiday’s emphasis on coupledom, it makes sense that these games would seize this opportunity to host duos events. While it’s obvious that most people who are going to partner up in these modes aren’t actually couples, it provides a fun take on the collective obsession with couple

With the Charge Rifle splashing onto the scene in all of its fiery, imbalanced glory, giving the Wingman and Longbow back their signature golden hop-up might even help restore some balance and variety to long-ranged com

The first chapter, "Gear Up," is about investing in the right gear. Unfortunately, it's primarily limited to a discussion of PC gaming gear. Given that I'm an Xbox girl in a PC world, I initially found it about as helpful as a Mozambique without a hop

I’m prepared to continue searching for that elusive perfect duo partner. I just want someone who likes long walks on the beach (of Geyser in World’s Edge), enjoys watching movies (as long as they're character reveal trailers) and loves to travel (as long as it's by dropsh

This section is dedicated to in-game tactics to improve gameplay. He covers aim optimization and movement strategies, as well as more basic concepts like high-ground advantages and peeking tactics. Clearly, every one of my random squad mates read this chapter, as they love to drop in the elevated platforms at Train Yard and do nothing but peek until someone one-shot knocks them with a Longbow from across the

Beyond providing an alternative to Apex Legends walkthrough Legends' base gameplay, it'd make a great opportunity to explore the lore and story behind the Apex games and its characters, and considering it takes place in the Titanfall universe , there's a lot for Respawn to play with in terms of id
