A simple location consisting of a few rooms and some floor loot, Market is a popular drop spot because of its central location on the map. If this location is at the earliest part of the dropship path, it’s almost guaranteed to be active. As an indoor space, this is yet another zone that’s good for making use of trap charact

The L-Star, much like the Mastiff which will be discussed later on, is a weapon that was once relegated to care packages but spawns in the overworld in Season 5. A weapon that doesn't require you to reload it is pretty powerful, you just need to make sure it doesn't overheat. You can become rather careless with ammunition when you forget about reloading, so just be aware of your energy ammo supply. The speed at which your weapon can fire can become all too important, and the L-Star is best in cl

Bangalore is the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none character in Apex Legends and is the go-to for most people who prefer an experience closest to that of traditional first-person shooters. Her Sky Marshall skin in Season 5 gives her a violet hombre hairstyle which pairs perfectly with her purple pilot's jac

This skin does the impossible and makes her look regal and elegant, while at the same time not taking away how composed and capable she is. Bangalore is a boss, and it's only fitting she has a skin that exudes that same ene

Apex Legends Bunny Hop Legends is already in its fifth season, and in Season 5 many things have changed via Respawn 's tweaks. The tier list for both legends and weapons has fluctuated a bit due to the numerous buffs, nerfs, and changes the latest update implemen

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

The easiest fix would be to play only with players one trusts. However, one key issue is that my friends range from far better to me to far worse than me, which poses challenges with skill-based matchmaking. Even though my K/D is below one and I have a win rate of 5 percent, squadding up with my higher-skill friends means there will almost certainly be Apex Predators in our lo

One solution is the one that Overwatch implemented, which allows players to endorse other players at the end of each game. In that game, endorsements only reflect positive attributes, such as Sportsmanship, Good Teammate and Shot Cal

Water Treatment didn’t change much and is typically so-so as a drop location. It’s fairly secluded from the game’s other major zones. Still, it can be a good starting point as there’s rarely more than one other squad landing here. After the initial drop, it’s also rare that any enemy squads will make their way to Water Treatment unless the zone pushes them there. That makes it a good place to set up defe

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

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

A video recently emerged on Reddit showing exactly how toxic random players can be. A player downs two enemies only to get knocked before a teammate kills the third. The teammates then refuse to revive the downed player. To see it and know there are few consequences for these actions is frustrating, to say the le

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 , 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
