In the past few weeks, I've twice watched someone back out of a game because I chose the character they wanted to play. Both times, it was because my game defaulted to the character because I didn't make a selection. In one instance, I even apologized after noticing the other player had wanted to be the character I had chosen, but the player backed out anyway. It's important to note that in Apex Legends Season 23 Legends , selection order is randomized. In both cases, my name popped up first on the selection menu, meaning I had every right to choose whichever character I wanted to play. Regardless, backing out for something so mundane is problematic because my team is forced to play the game as a squad of two up against squads of three, which makes the game much more diffic

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

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, 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

If you're familiar with the Syndicate in the world of Apex Legends than chances are you've at least heard of Revenant. During his introduction to the game, players witnessed him kill Marcos and Alanza Andrade, the people who happened to be Loba's parents. At the time she was a witness to the entire event, despite being no older than 10 when it happened. This has given her a lifelong mission of vengeance and she hates Revenant more than anything else in existence. Their relationship when on the same team is less than ideal and 100% uncomforta

The Rig typically boasts tons of good loot and has a charging station. Rarely will more than one squad choose to land here as it can be a detrimental area depending on the circle progression and zone, which may cause a team to have to push through Capacitor, a much busier area. Still, it’s worth it for the solid loot, plus players can easily push over to the remnants of Relay for even more loot before picking off any squads at Artill

In terms of monetary value, the Warzone battle pass is a pretty good investment, but the loot players earn don't add much to the excitement of the game. Unless a player is into the more militaristic skins and cosmetics, or are a fan of gun buddies and XP boosters, this battle pass may be one they want to sit out. It's hard to say definitively what the best battle pass is (although **Fortnite's ** is pretty close) since it ultimately depends on an individual preference, but hopefully the information mentioned above will help any curious players make the best decision for t

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, 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

Love them or hate them, battle passes have been around for a few years now, and with every new game release there seems to be a battle pass tucked in there along with it. Starting with **Fortnite ** in 2017, the battle pass system has been used by almost every major battle royale as a way to generate revenue by rewarding players with cosmetic items for their in-game level progression. The battle pass system has proven to be an effective way to keep players playing for a game for longer (and to keep payers spending money) that it has spilled outside of the Battle Royale genre and into other mainstream games such as Rocket Leag

Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi

Drop locations will have a small variation depending on where the dropship is entering the area. For example, the ship might be coming by way of the Artillery and then the next game it can start from the Hydro Dam. The important item to note here is that no matter where the ship enters the area, it's important to make decisions quickly as players have probably already dropped and are looting while decisions are being made. Time is of the essence here so let's show some of the best locations and explain why they are the b
