DecemberApex Legends Season Five: Loba (Character Guide)
Most publishers deny Africa from having game servers but release statements condemning racism and promoting equality. It seems like black lives matter, but not enough to get the same services as the rest of the wo
With seemingly every game having a battle pass system it raises the question, which is best? Of course, the answer is subjective, and while some battle passes may be better than others it should not be seen as a reflection of the overall game. While some battle passes offer extraordinary rewards, the game itself may not be worth playing to obtain those rewards. Some games are great works of art that can be incredibly fun, but maybe the battle pass isn't worth the extra $10. Regardless, this article will lay out what each battle pass has to offer for some of the biggest games out right
Like all Legends Loba has a tactical and passive ability as well as an ultimate that slowly charges. Her passive ability is constantly working to the player's advantage, whereas the tactical ability quickly recharges in between uses. The Ultimate Ability, on the other hand, will take longer to charge, and will most likely only be able to be used a few times per ma
Loba's name was a really smart choice because it serves a dual purpose with both its traditional meaning and what it means in slang. The name traditional means she-wolf which makes sense considering she's an independent woman who is fierce and willing to do what needs to be d
Earlier the sister-skin to Attention To Detail, titled Precision Caliber was discussed, and it featured a design that was much more flashy. For Attention To Detail, it's a skin for the Wingman that focuses on looking a bit more practical, but still being flashy enough to be coveted by players. It's a reward players receive for reaching the maximum level of the Season 5 battle pass which is neat. The only bummer is that the Wingman currently isn't a top tier weapon in the ongoing meta of the g
The powerful close-range shotgun is a must-have for those who love fighting in tight spots and the Gift of Power skin makes it a bit more of an art piece. The mostly white and black design is accented with fiery balls of what looks to be lava cascading from the gun itself. It may not be Season 5's best skin, but it certainly isn't its wo
It's meant to resemble the bloodstains on her eyes when she witnessed her parents being murdered at the hands of Revenant. It's a reminder of her past, while at the same time giving her a spark of flair that makes her stand out even m
For those unfamiliar with the Battle Pass system, it is a one time purchase (usually around $10) that unlocks a ton of in-game cosmetic rewards. However, players have to level up or progress through the battle pass tier to unlock each reward. Games like Fortnite or Apex Legends reward players with new character skins, emotes, Titanfall 3 Rumors weapon skins, etc. Battle passes are also only available for a limited time which is usually referred to as a "season," and the items that are offered through the battle pass can only be obtained during this seasonal window. This encourages players to purchase the battle pass and grind through the tier before the season is over so they don't miss out on these exclusive sk
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
People assume her Ultimate Ability should be used with damage in mind, but the best players understand its limits and will use it strategically as a way to zone other teams and force them into action. Use it as a tenderizer before you launch a full-on assa
In a game like Apex Legends where knowing the location of your opponent is so vital, having a character that's actively working to make their location unknown is extremely powerful. Not only is she a must-have for every team, but she's also easily the one legend you should always opt for when playing so
The largest black community lives in Africa and has a long history of being treated as second-class, whether it's colonialism, the slave trade, or gaining access to world-class events. The stereotype of Africa being poor, dirty, and underdeveloped is still strong up to this day with no sign of change on the horizon. Yes, some places are less developed, but in the last few decades, the continent has made massive strides in terms of technology and has seen incredible growth. Despite all the progress, most video game publishers don't have a single server on the continent, and exclude Africa from their events complet
