Most players will opt for an automatic gun over a burst-fire assault rifle, but the Hemlok has built a strong case for itself. People worry about accuracy and rate of fire when it comes to burst rifle guns, but the Hemlok does both tremendously well. Mid-range fights are where it truly shines and speaking of shining you should look around for the special golden Hemlok that can be found in Season 5 . It also happens to have received one of the best weapon skins in Season 5, which is a bo

Teams with very strategic approaches to combat will likely make Wattson a must in their team compositions. She has a set of abilities that are great at zoning and keeping control of a specific location. Wattson's Interception Pilon can also protect her team from enemy launchers and explosi

Recently, I was matched with someone whose name was a play on the coronavirus. Perhaps merely evidence of a juvenile sense of humor, it hits different when 23,000 people in your city have died of the vi

Still, when you’re a player known for playing a specific game, the choice of whether to experiment with new games doesn’t come easily. At the moment, _ Apex Legends _ has significantly more mainstream interest than the _ Battlefield _ series, which presents a much wider audience. However, a streamer who makes a big transition risks becoming a smaller fish in a bigger pond, which can lead to them losing subscribers and even endorsement de

Toxicity is nothing new in gaming. But I fail to understand why we should continue to allow this behavior to continue if there’s something we can do to mitigate it and reward those who don’t engage. I’ve had friends uninstall Apex Legends due to frustration with random squadma

The Off The Record skin for Loba happens to be of her four extremely rare cosmetics. It has a sister skin that keeps much of the same shape and looks but changes the entire color scheme of the outfit. Off The Record focuses on a red, black, and white look that seems to just be a combination that always looks good. This skin makes Loba look like she's the main character in a cyberpunk Mech shooter game or maybe even a high-end assassin. She tends to walk the line of femininity and intimidation, but this skin is 100% the lat

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 PVE miss

Further, this could help balance the lobbies. The theory would be that someone who has gotten "good teammate" accolades has earned the right to not have to squad with potentially toxic teammates. It wouldn’t have to be the case every game, but the "good teammate" would overall have the benefit of playing far fewer games with potentially toxic rand

Video games should be fun. But issues with random players detract from the experience. It’s time for Respawn to step in and develop a strategy for dealing with players who can’t play with basic respect and dece

Just like with the Off The Record skin discussed in the last entry, the Bootlegger skin has a sister skin that's pretty much a palette swap. This one also happens to be the variant that places an emphasis on red, black, and white as its color focus. This skin makes Loba look very dapper and fits into the aesthetic theme of the entire season. People will often use the phrase "dressed to kill" and Loba is communicating every bit of it with this outfit. It could also be mistaken as someone's created character in Red Dead Onli

The theme of Season 5 seems to be centered on exploration, discovery, and riches. Loba's Huntswoman skin has the skilled assassin looking like a Victorian bounty hunter. The forest green and cream outfit is accented by the dark brown leather of her accessories and brings the entire look toget

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

In games of Apex Legends , I’ve found myself matched with profile names that are blatantly racist (they used workarounds to pass spam filters). Once, the first thing someone said was a sexual comment. I’ve been told I was trash for losing a fight by missing a shotgun shot. Random players frequently separate from their teammates, go AFK in the middle of a fight with no explanation and can be toxic in any number of other w

Her scarlet red hair and matching eyeshadow do a great job of contrasting her outfit and making her face become the focal point of the entire thing. You better hope that you're not her target because you don't stand a cha
