Gaming Companies Claim Inclusivity, But Exclude African Players

Gaming Companies Claim Inclusivity, But Exclude African Players

Out of all of the non-care package sniper rifles in the game, the Longbow is the best of the bunch. Back in Season 3 , it received a rate of fire increase and it hasn't looked back since. In Season 5 the change was made so now the Skullpiercer attachment could be used on it, which greatly increases its headshot dam

It's ridiculous that publishers don't realize the potential of African gamers. This untapped market could drastically increase their revenue and add to the already booming esports industry. African gamers relentlessly soldier on despite being shunned by publishers, and are at a constant disadvantage. If they had a level playing field, they could easily give other teams in the world a run for their mo

Ever since his initial inception, it seems the designers at Respawn Entertainment wanted Revenant to come across as what they described as a "synthetic shinobi." Shinobi are stealthy covert agents that are often simply called ninjas. It doesn't seem as though Revenant is completely robotic, and his human brain is likely what makes him synthetic. The game has a wide cast of characters for players to choose from and its neat that they added one that's unnerving and terrifying, but at the same time exudes a certain level of c

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

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 Control legend 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

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

A new location that debuted in Season 5, Capacitor is a busy zone due to its central location, tons of cover, three charge towers and lots of loot. It’s an attractive option for squads looking to loot up and immediately fight. It also connects to Labs via a backdoor, making it easy for enemy squads to surprise those looting Capaci

Loba's Ultimate may not be as strong as some other legends like Bangalore or Revenant, but it is an easy way to collect loot without running around an entire area. An excellent way to use this ability is to enter a high loot area and drop it down to find all the best loot very quickly. This even has a great use later in the match if players find themselves pinned down and running low on ammo or medical kits. This will allow the team to quickly stock up on any resources that could be found in the area without having to leave co

Passive Ability- Eye For Quality: Eye for quality is a perfect ability because it will automatically highlight any nearby epic and legendary pieces of loot. Players will even be able to see this loot through walls if they are within ra

Ultimate Ability- Black Market Boutique: Once Loba activates her Ultimate it will place a device on the ground that can be used to teleport nearby loot of the player's choosing to their inventory. It has the same range as Eye For Quality, and each player can only grab two items per deploym

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
