Apex Legends: 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Toxic One, Caustic

Caustic began as a research scientist at Humbert Labs on his home-world known as Gaea. They were the leading manufacturer for Nightreign Boss Arena mod pesticides for the Frontier crops and were responsible for making sure the crops were uncontaminated and survived the entire harvest sea

600Chapter 14 is not simply another release in the game, it is Behavior Interactive continuing to build their own unique world where the Entity must be appeased. Mathieu Côté described the future for the game as continuing in this way, "the recipe of four chapters a year is now going to become more intensely packed, because in between each chapter we’re going to start releasing Archives. A lot of lore and exploring the backgrounds of characters and what this world

This one's extremely easy to overlook, but it's also one of the coolest and most underrated features of the drone. While piloting the drone, looking at the banners that conventionally display the match's current kill leader will see the display replaced by a readout showing how many squads are in the drone's current flight a

The skin is called Jade Tiger and takes a lot of influence from ancient Chinese antiques and armor. It is very reminiscent of the jade beetle and the mix of green and gold makes him pop on screen. If you're looking to move undetected in King's Canyon you might want to avoid this s

Imagine finding out that the man responsible for turning you into his weird science fair project died before you had a chance for revenge. This is what Wraith thought she was going through at first before finding out his supposed death was simply a cover-up to protect his own l

Though his career may have started with his mind in the right place, he was ultimately driven mad. It's unclear whether he has always that way and it finally came to light, or the exposure to the chemicals severely affecting his brain functi

It's strange when a battle pass for a game offers the best weapon skin in the entire thing for simply purchasing the battle pass. The Intimidator skin for the Spitfire light-machine gun turns the beefy powerhouse into what looks like a deep ocean-dwelling mons

You can pester enemy snipers into giving up their perch, distract enemy squads and cause them to waste ammunition while your allies prepare an ambush, or cause them to cut their loot runs short on the assumption that their position's given away. It's particularly fun to open doors in order to feint a push and draw attention to the wrong entra

In the recent short that was released which covered some of Wraith's time in the lab as an experiment it was revealed that the voices she hears are her own. It's not her subconscious calling out to her, but rather different versions of herself lending her advice from the void in which she can walk. It's as if versions of herself across all alternate realities are advising her and helping her survive. This is why she thought she was going crazy, but ultimately she learned to embrace the voices and use them to her advant

Fundamentally, the game looks to be identical on mobile devices. Despite being on a phone instead of a high end PC, "on mobile, this works very well. We had to make a few small changes, for instance, we added a rear-view button on mobile, because you cannot look behind you as easily as with a mouse and keyboard or controll

The revamping of the leaderboards is certainly an interesting point to consider because the core concept of Dead by Daylight is that it is an anti-social multiplayer game. Some players may often think about how to maximize their score, but others simply play the game for the fun of its terrifying gamep

If the drone has any particular downside, it is not exactly stealthy. The engine makes a distinct racket that can be heard from a good distance away, it also leaves behind a brightly colored trail that's easily noti

Out of all of the legend skins in the battle pass Pathfinder, unfortunately, has the tamest design out of the bunch. It makes his entire body look rusted and it seems like he's supposed to look like he's a hunter of some s

The sticky suction cup on the Bunker products is strong, but on the Bunker S in particular, I had some issues since it is load-bearing. It can really only stick to a totally flat surface like the back of a monitor or a smooth computer tower. I at first attempted to stick it to the side of my Ikea desk, which is flat but slightly textured with faux wood grain, and it wouldn't hold. I then stuck it to my lightly orange peel textured wall, and it held better, but it would still lose grip occasionally. Now, it's on the back of my monitor and I've had no probl

In translating the core gameplay to new platforms, Côté describes some of the considerations needed both for the Switch and upcoming mobile version of the game. For Nintendo, "the biggest thing with the Switch is obviously that visually it had to be accommodated and optimized a little bit compared to what we have on high end PCs…However, playing it in handheld, I think there is something kinetic about it, literally you’re so crunched into it, to me it’s a very different experience, I like that. I try to play at least a few games per day, especially on a new platform so I know what the hell I’m talking abo
