The tragic death of George Floyd has ignited a movement to end racism and promote inclusivity. Companies that previously sat on the fence have been forced to take action and prove they are progressive and are moving with the times. Over the last few weeks, there has been an unprecedented show of support for the black community, with most publishers releasing statements condemning racism and taking action to ensure inclusivity and equality. Many popular games even have "Black Lives Matter" banners to affirm this stance. Something these companies are conveniently forgetting is that ALL black lives matter, not just click the following page American black li
Finally, new charge towers have been added across the map. These towers instantly charge the ult of any legend standing nearby. We haven't spotted all of them yet, but there is one in the new Capacitor zone to test
The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin
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
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
The Off The Record skin for Loba happens to be of her four extremely rare cosmetics. It has a sister skin that keeps much of the same shape and looks but changes the entire color scheme of the outfit. Off The Record focuses on a red, black, and white look that seems to just be a combination that always looks good. This skin makes Loba look like she's the main character in a cyberpunk game or maybe even a high-end assassin. She tends to walk the line of femininity and intimidation, but this skin is 100% the lat
Located to the south of the west side of Slum Lakes, this area has many of the same benefits as Slum Lakes. However, it’s slightly more popular as a drop zone than Slum Lakes, possibly because it’s less remote. Players must pay attention to their surroundings as enemies frequently head here after fights in nearby Pit. Shots can also attract players from Airbase, just to the so
Finally, poor Pathfinder's grapple has had its cooldown increased from 15 to 35 seconds. The developers explain in the patch notes that they don't think Pathfinder should be able to reposition so easily multiple times in a fight, and we tend to ag
The Gauntlet looks strangely familiar to a skate park except it has a ring of fire and a ton of loot. It will be highly populated which means anyone coming into this area definitely needs their A-Game or it's going to be a quick match. There can be a great piece of loot in the fire ring by using the jump pads but the real attraction here is the easy access to multiple supply bins and the ability to move to the next looting locations right after. Most players will end up landing here and then going straight to the Market location right after or the Salvage area. It was designed with Octane in mind and if playing with him, take advantage of the open area and jump pads to speed up and get the drop on the oppone
This tube-like area in Kings Canyon doesn't have too much loot but it's enough for a team of three to get and make due. It's a very good location to drop into as it has three exits all leading to other high loot areas like Slum Lane. This will allow the team to look at which location is under siege and either join in the fight or avoid it altogether. If meeting up with opponents here, there is not a ton of cover so going on the offense and small flanking maneuvers will be valuable tactics h
Finally, the Skullpeircer hop-up is back, replacing the Anvil Receiver. The Skullpiercer can attach to the Wingman and Longbow and increases headshot damage. As if the Wingman wasn't deadly enough, ri
We don't know much about the Season Quest, but we do know how it starts. As you loot, a small treasure will occasionally pop out of random chests. Players can collect 1 of these treasures every day and it instantly awards XP, Crafting Metals, or Apex packs. Every 5 Treasure Packs you collect will unlock the ability to play the weekly hunt, and new PVE miss
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
