They inherently recognize they're providing refuge for people who might otherwise be putting themselves in positions to spread a terrible illn

A contrarian might suggest these companies are pushing out updates amid a pandemic strictly for the profits.

It would normally be much higher on the list but has been knocked down a bit as Season 5 has relegated it to care packages. The move also came with some nice buffs, but remember that shotguns are better when equipped with precision choke attachme

Apex Legends does a good job as a free-to-play game at offering its players skins for both weapons and legends worth chasing after. You would think that Revenant would have darker-themed skins due to his murderous past, which he very much does. In addition to those though they also gave him 3 separate skins all inspired by the Egyptian god, Ra.
