As a result of the pandemic, my workload is significantly lighter. Even if there were more to do, thoughts about the crisis around me frequently zap my energy. But there are a few things that have kept me sane through the crisis, like cocktail delivery services and a friend's HBO Go passw

So it’s perhaps but a small gesture that we should take moment to show thanks to these people who provide an integral, role in our daily lives. Thanks so much to each and every developer and development team member who continues to work hard amid a crisis. I hope that you do so with the understanding that you’re improving the lives of millions of people who would be lost with video games and the communities these games insp

When a child is robbed of her innocence, it's unclear what path her future will take her on. In Loba's case, the death of her parents at the hands of the murderous simulacrum named Revenant sent her down a dark path of vengeance and crime. Her parents were murdered when she was just nine years old, which in turn led to her getting taken in by a foster family. Over time she realized her parents were wealthy thanks in large part to their skills as thieves, a skill she inherited and learned to use the rest of her l

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

Loba's name was a really smart choice because it serves a dual purpose with both its traditional meaning and what it means in slang. The name traditional means she-wolf which makes sense considering she's an independent woman who is fierce and willing to do what needs to be d

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 American black li

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

The R-301 Carbine has always been a safe and reliable choice in-game and Season 5 didn't change that. It's the one assault rifle that most players feel comfortable with thanks in large part to it having rather low kick when shot. When playing the best thing to do is work on fully kitting the gun while looking for an R-99. Having both will give you the flexibility in both mid-range and close-quarters combat, and if you feel the need to add a sniper, all of the R-301's attachments will transfer over to the R

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

Respawn Entertainment History Entertainment is great at representation because they make sure it's clear, but it's never an overt defining characteristic of their legends . Loba happens to be a woman who is bisexual and is attracted to both men and wo

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

The Devotion has seemingly become the best light machine gun in the game overnight. All light machine guns suffer from the issue of extended reload times, but the Devotion makes up for that in several areas. For being such a large weapon it someone remains pretty accurate and has little recoil feedback when firing. Add this to the large numbers it packs in the damage department and there's no mystery why it has ascended to be one of the best weapons in the entire g

You might be scratching your head wondering how on Earth the Prowler made it into the Top 10 when considering the best weapons in the game for Season 5 . It all comes down to a single attachment called the select-fire hop-up. When attached it allows players to turn the gun into an assault rifle. A fully equipped Prowler turns the unwieldy and overlooked gun into something quite formidable in battle. It shouldn't be your go-to weapon, but it can make its mark in a pinch with the right pieces in pl
