Apex Legends Season Five: Loba (Character Guide)

Apex Legends Season Five: Loba (Character Guide)

Sometimes in games, it feels like cosmetic items are universal and meant to work with a variety of characters, and sometimes it feels like they were made for an unnamed perfect pairing. The Gilded Hunt skin for the Charge Rifle definitely feels like the latter as the aesthetics of it magnetize it to the engineering legend, Wattson. The stark white coloring with subtle patterns makes it feel more like a tool and less like a weapon. Considering she dabbles with electricity, maybe the Charge Rifle is Wattson's preferred gun of cho

Located at the northwest corner of the map, this area can be a haul should the next zone be positioned at the southeast corner of the map. But otherwise, assuming this is not directly off the start of the dropship flight path, a team can drop here and find plenty of loot throughout the many buildings in this area without too much activ

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

The powerful close-range shotgun is a must-have for those who love fighting in tight spots and the Gift of Power skin makes it a bit more of an art piece. The mostly white and black design is accented with fiery balls of what looks to be lava cascading from the gun itself. It may not be Season 5's best skin, but it certainly isn't its wo

However, Fortnite isn't for everyone and a battle pass may not be the determining factor for Titanfall 2 Gameplay playing the game. The challenges have gotten easier with every new season, so unlocking a tier 100 skin variant doesn't feel as prestigious as it once did. However, if players are looking for the most bang for their buck, Fortnite's battle pass is the route to

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

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

Burglar's Best Friend is going to cause players the most trouble most likely. Since it is shaping up to be one of the best abilities in the game, that means that players will need to keep an eye out and ensure they don't get surrounded. If fighting Loba out in the open, they should keep on eye on her at all times. When she throws her bracelet, players will have a few moments to score some free hits before she teleports. Once she is gone, players should get to cover and hope she didn't appear behind them somewhere. If not she probably teleported up somewhere high to a vantage point, so players should keep their head on a swivel while they try to take down the enemy t

Warzone is arguably the hottest battle royale experience out right now, and as such it only makes sense that Call of Duty would also hop on the Battle Pass bandwagon. This isn't Call of Duty 's first battle royale, however it is their first good one. The same can be said for the Warzone Battle Pass. Call Of Duty Black Ops 4's reward system allowed players to buy multiple different "battle passes" that would last until the player completed all of the tiers. This time around they are taking a more traditional approach to the battle pass sys

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

When Apex Legends first came out, Bunker was a popular spot for Caustic players as he could set his traps and make it difficult for non-Caustics to survive the drop. But now, as more people are playing Caustic, it’s less than ideal as a drop location. It typically doesn’t have a lot of loot and the narrow hallway makes players susceptible to grenade s

Most publishers deny Africa from having game servers but release statements condemning racism and promoting equality. It seems like black lives matter, but not enough to get the same services as the rest of the wo

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

With seemingly every game having a battle pass system it raises the question, which is best? Of course, the answer is subjective, and while some battle passes may be better than others it should not be seen as a reflection of the overall game. While some battle passes offer extraordinary rewards, the game itself may not be worth playing to obtain those rewards. Some games are great works of art that can be incredibly fun, but maybe the battle pass isn't worth the extra $10. Regardless, this article will lay out what each battle pass has to offer for some of the biggest games out right
