"If we're gambling on a team in terms of the performance, how can they guarantee that they're going to win?" he says, pointing out the nature of the battle royale format that puts 20 teams side-by-side in a single ma

Her ultimate ability, Black Market Boutique, creates a "death box" that draws in all the equipment in a wide range. Every player is allowed to take up to 2 items from the boutique. This ability is a great way to grab items quickly without having to search multiple buildings or death bo

Though relatively quiet, because of its close proximity to Labs, Hydro Dam and Repulsor, it’s common for squads that have looted those areas to move to Swamps to see what else they can find. It’s also very easy to get separated from teammates here, so keep an eye one anot

It's unclear whether this legend is tied to the Syndicate, Hammond Robotics, or both. It could also end up being a legend tied to neither, but maybe one who was experimented on and had the ability naturally, before they infused Revenant with

In Season 5 the Wingman still isn't a top tier weapon in the game, but it is nice that it saw some love via skins. Every season the game tends to end the battle pass with a pair of skins for a specific weapon. The most notable was when the R-301 Carbine received a pair of rhinoceros inspired skins, with one being gold and the other silver. The Wingman received the same treatment and its Precision Caliber skin happens to have a flashier golden design, whereas its counterpart which we'll get into later is a lot more sub

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

We don't know much about the Season Quest, but we do know how it starts. As you loot, a small treasure will occasionally pop out of random chests. Players can collect 1 of these treasures every day and it instantly awards XP, Crafting Metals, or Apex packs. Every 5 Treasure Packs you collect will unlock the ability to play the weekly hunt, and new Ubisoft Battle royale PVE miss

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

Apex Legends has a whopping 46 servers scattered in 18 places around the world. When broken down by location, North America has 17, South America has five, Western Europe has seven, East Asia has nine, South East Asia has three, Asia Pacific has five, and Africa has a big fat zero. This is how EA is working to fight injustice and discriminat

Quite frankly, I think it's disgusting that these publishers have the nerve to put Black Lives Matter banners on their games when most black people aren't allowed to play them without issues. To me, it's the modern-day equivalent of a "No Africans Allowed" sign. African gamers aren't asking for special treatment, We just want to be treated the same as everybody e

Throughout the entertainment medium, you'll often find that artists and animators love to reference their favorite influences and inspirations via direct examples, or even sometimes as hidden easter eggs. Revenant happens to have a rarely occurring animation when summoning his Ultimate ability called Death Totem. He will do a series of hand signs that are directly from the famous manga and anime series Naruto . This makes perfect sense considering the Naruto franchise focuses on ninjas, which were a direct inspiration for Revenant's charac

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

"There's no way I can keep up this momentum forever, where I'm working the day job, SoaR Gaming, and then streaming like all at once," he says. "The only reason I feel like I'm able to do is that I'm relatively young, for n

The lack of servers creates a vicious cycle. Publishers don't have African servers because they think there aren't enough players, but without servers, how is the player base expected to grow? The impact of this policy has had a truly detrimental effect on the African gaming community. Many games have "World" Cups or "World" Championships, and it's evident that Africa isn't part of their "World." No matter how good African players are, there's no way of getting involved in many of the sanctioned leagues without moving to another contin
