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

Big names in gaming like Apex Legends , FIFA , Fortnite , League of Legends , Valorant , Rainbow Six Siege , and more have a worldwide following with servers everywhere except Africa. As an African gamer, I find it insulting and hypocritical that these companies force us to read Black Lives Matter messages every time we start a game, yet most black people aren't allowed to get the best experience from

But he points out that _ Apex Legends _ has, on the whole, attracted older players who tend to be more mature than some of the competitive _ Fortnite _ players. For him, this signals more sustainability as a competitive game. Plus, it helps that the Respawn team remains continually committed to improving the g

He can't die either, as his owners can resurrect him the moment he dies and bring him back to life. Now he's on a hunt for anything or anyone related to Hammond Robotics , which operates in the Outla

The Mastiff has somehow made its way into the regular rotation of weapons, while at the same time retaining most of its incredible strength. It should come as no surprise that with it become more common in battle it has shot up the tier list of weapons in Season 5. Over time don't be surprised if it falls down the tier list as players figure out if its reduction in power hurts its overall usefulness. Either way, it was a bold but welcoming decision to make several of the care package weapons spawn in the overwo

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

If you want to get the most out of the speed demon then you need to keep an eye out for its extended magazine attachment as well as the lightweight optic item. It can win entire fights at close range simply due to its ability to rip through armor at remarkable speeds that can't be matched by most other guns in the g

Gaming isn't only about games. It's a social experience to connect people. This is even more true in the time of COVID-19. Playing online together is one of the few activities that separated families and friends can do together and is a way to bond. Right now, siblings are shooting each other from across the world in Fortnite , and friends are scoring against each other in FIFA . Sadly African players don't get to join the party. They must put up with terrible lag and non-stop connection issues if they want to play. Not only is this a frustrating experience for them, but it kills the fun for their overseas teammates with a decent connect

About a month ago, after a week-long delay due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic, Apex Legends competitor Legends introduced Season 5: Fortune's Favor. It’s the most successful season launch to date , according to a recent press release. Anecdotally, I can attest to the fact that I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game since the beginning of the pande

Still, while he was busy with _ Battlefield V _ , a friend of his clued him into a forthcoming game that was "really going to shake things up." The friend, who had play- tested it, was unable to say anything more without violating a strict non-disclosure agreem

Thanks so much for continuing to work as hard as you can to roll out updates, fixes and changes while grappling with the challenges of COVID-19, including those that may be impacting your own mental hea

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

Thank you for putting the hours in when you could be sitting at home, feeling as helpless and hopeless as many of the rest of us feel. Maybe there are days when you feel down, yet you keep showing up for people like me. I’m grateful to all of you for pushing through. I can only hope you’re aware of how your work is positively impacting people like

Many of the legends in the game have rare animations that only come up ever so often, and many of them are where players can see references or easter eggs to other entertainment properties. Revenant has a rare animation tied to his Ultimate ability, where his hand is embraced by another hand then flipped over. This is a direct reference to a scene in 2016's Suicide Squad where the Enchantress embraces her human form and is a visual representation of the physical manifestation the witch has when she takes over the body of June Momech-shooter-war-robots-frontiers-is-available-in-early-acce_8r4u.1200.jpg
