Fortnite is on track to earn $3.5 billion this year in revenue by often treating its consumers with respect, and Apex Legends could have taken a slice of that pie were it not so focused only on having consumers spend in the game through predatory practices. This kind of behavior can only last for so long before even the most devoted fans of the game decide that they have had eno

Every season brings with it a new competitor to the Apex Games, and the upcoming third season is no different. Crypto will be making his entrance, and, though not much is known in regards to his in-game abilities, Respawn did release an animated short giving a glimpse into Crypto's life before his evolut

Whether you're looking to obsessively drop there every game, or avoid it like the second coming of the plague, that place is definitely the Capitol City. Though it's a bit more spread out, it's still densely packed with lootable buildings, most of them being multi-story skyscrapers that make for excellent sniper perc

There are few things in life as frustrating as making it to the game’s final circles but running low on health and shields. In most games, players desperately need health and shield items. Even if the players have stacked tons of kills, med kits and shield cells may be in short supply by the time players make it to the end g

The worst (or best, depending on your preference) part of leaving King's Canyon behind for a lot of players has to be the loss of Skulltown, the consistently hot drop location that promised a fight the moment your feet hit the ground. However, it certainly didn't take players long to find its equivalent in World's E

Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and Ps5Gamers.Com government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that "it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri

Those who managed to reach level 110 were gifted an alternate version of the level 100 R-301 skin with this one going for a gold and white design accompanied with the name The Golden Rampage. It's pretty much a recoloring of the initial skin but offers a polar opposite aesthetic for those who dig the white and gold color combinat

Apex Legends ' third season makes up the game's biggest batch of new content to date, definitively upping the ante with leading competitors like Fortnite . It features a new weapon, more loot, a new Legend, and perhaps most important of all, a brand new map to fight on. Entitled "World's Edge," this incredibly varied and dynamic locale features battlegrounds ranging from frozen cities to scorching lava flows within a stone's throw from one another. It's definitely a sight to

Even some of the more close-quarters oriented locales, like Capitol City, offer so much in the way of verticality that sniping from a rooftop perch is generally the go-to strategy. And that's completely overlooking the fact that the newest sniper weapon, the Charge Rifle, is absurdly overpowered as of right

The design is primarily gold armor with accents of black and grey. It reads more like a set of raid armor from Destiny 2 more than it does a skin for a legend competing in the Apex Games. Gibraltar is rarely spotlighted or talked about so any way to get him noticed is always a welcomed addit

There was a recent issue where developers and fans got into a bit of a disagreement regarding the microtransactions in the game. Many players thought that the price attached to some of the special event cosmetics were extremely expensive, and a select few voiced it very poorly. This led to a developer becoming frustrated and calling those select few some choice words. Respawn is a developer who's great at listening and correcting their mistakes, but don't hold your breath if a new event skin costs an arm and a

The southern portion of the map in World's Edge is dotted with locations that host flows of lava, and yes, they will do damage if you decide to stand around in them. They aren't instantly lethal, however, and do surprisingly small amounts of damage over t

In what may or may not be a nod to Borderlands , World's Edge features a number of "vaults" stuffed with top tier loot that will give your squad a definite advantage. The trick is actually getting inside of t

The skin is called Prince of Darkness and turns the mad scientist into a mad king. It gives Caustic some nice armor inspired by high-fantasy and manages to incorporate his gas mask in a way that doesn't detract from the rest of the design. The skin also features a skull on both the chest and b

The battle pass for the second season in Apex Legends did a lot to fix how terrible it was for the first season. They added better rewards and made it feel like you were earning things at a reasonable pace. Fans still felt that many of the skins in the battle pass didn't feel special enough at later levels and hope that, with the new season, they work even more towards making it worthwhile. It will all depend on how the battle pass for the second season sold and how vocal the feedback was from play
