Everything New In Apex Legends Season 5

Everything New In Apex Legends Season 5

Most players will opt for an automatic gun over a burst-fire assault rifle, but the Hemlok has built a strong case for itself. People worry about accuracy and rate of fire when it comes to burst rifle guns, but the Hemlok does both tremendously well. Mid-range fights are where it truly shines and speaking of shining you should look around for the special golden Hemlok that can be found in Season 5 . It also happens to have received one of the best weapon skins in Season 5, which is a bo

Her scarlet red hair and matching eyeshadow do a great job of contrasting her outfit and making her face become the focal point of the entire thing. You better hope that you're not her target because you don't stand a cha

The Mastiff has somehow madeits way into the regular rotation of weapons, while at the same time retaining most of its incredible strength. It should come as no surprise that with it become more common in battle it has shot up the tier list of weapons in Season 5. Over time don't be surprised if it falls down the tier list as players figure out if its reduction in power hurts its overall usefulness. Either way, it was a bold but welcoming decision to make several of the care package weapons spawn in the overwo

This area seems to have dropped off in popularity as a drop location, possibly because it’s relative flatness or the fact that that there are several far more interesting locations on the map. However, players can loot it quickly before either dropping back to Swamps or moving through the indoor area to the west that leads to Containm

Each of Mirage's abilities hasbeen buffed in this patch. His decoy, which now lasts for 60 seconds, can be fully controlled. At first the decoy will still run in a straight line, but now Mirage is able to control him by pushing H. The copy will move exactly like Mirage. Similarly, the decoys that deploy when Mirage ults will also mimic his every move. Most significantly, Mirage now cloaks when using respawn beacons and cloak himself and downed allies when rezz

PlayerUnknown's BATTLEGROUNDS is another battle royale which can't go without being mentioned. While it wasn't the first to adopt the battle pass system, it was one of the first battle royale games and the one that many would attribute the popularity of the genre to. PUBG did eventually adopt the battle pass mode of play, but it's first few launches were a bit mediocre. However, the most recent " Survivor Pass " has been the most advantageous so

This is a fun, if extremely active, drop location. Its entryway via the portal in the sky means trap characters such as Caustic and Wattson can quickly set up shop here and block other players out. However, teams also choose to land at the buildings just south of labs, meaning players will likely face fights as they try to exit. Labs now has an additional backdoor area that funnels into Capacitor, so players have several ways to escape should they find themselves in a b

As for weapons, the new gold drops include the Longbow, Hemlock, Spitfire, EVA-8, and RE-45. The alternator has an increased mag size and the re-45 has a damage increase and a reload time decrease. For the full list of weapon changes, see h

Now let's talk about the other color variant of the Bootlegger skin. This one is mostly gold and black and goes by the name Gold Standard. The pinstripes on this skin are a lot more subdued and at a glance, it simply looks like Loba is wearing a gold and black jacket. If the other skin is a created character in Red Dead Online , this one might be an end-game outfit you unlock after hours of grinding and/or gathering resources. It visually brings back the images of Loba as a child, growing up in a life of wea

Though relatively quiet, because of its close proximity to Labs, Hydro Dam and Repulsor, it’s common for squads that have looted those areas to move to Swamps to see what else they can find. It’s also very easy to get separated from teammates here, so keep an eye one anot

Is it worth $10? Absolutely. The most recent battle pass included 6 new exclusive skins each with its own additional unlockable styles, and most have their own pickaxes and back bling, on top of a handful of emotes, Movement Mechanics Gaming loading screens, and player icons. If Fortnite does one thing right it is its cosmetics. The battle pass offers players a plethora of items to unlock that are each unique and worth the grind and the extra challenges extend the life of the game and give players a reason to hop back in every w

Apex Legends is a free-to-play battle royale game that had a pretty strong launch but fell from grace shortly after due to it being slightly too niche. However, it has maintained a pretty loyal fanbase and has stayed fairly consistent in terms of gameplay. The Apex Legends Battle Pass is 950 Apex Coins, or roughly $10, and the rewards are worth more than that monetarily. However, the character skins that can be obtained through the battle pass are a bit lackluster, and have been for some time now. The best skins for characters can be found in the item shop and can be purchased with real money, or can be obtained through opening Apex Packs, which also cost real money, or can be obtained through grinding levBattlerite-Royale.jpg
