Apex Legends: 5 Things We Want In Season 4 (& 5 Things We Can Lose)

Just after the trailer introduces the totem, Revenant shoots some kind of grenade out of his arm. From the gameplay video alone, it’s hard to tell how, exactly, this will work. However, it appears his grenade tactical ability may have some kind of arc or stun charge, which manifests as the orange glowing ball in the image be

Should your attack fail, using a smoke bomb or artillery strike can allow you to disengage from the fight and retreat to assess what went wrong. This combined with the fact that Bangalore gets faster when under fire means that she is a hard woman to get the jump

This isn’t the game’s first Season 4 teaser — who could forget Forge's untimely death or Revenant’s role in a brutal bloodbath ? — but it’s players’ first look at what they can expect when they drop into Worlds Edge after the season beg

Gone are the days (for now) of trapping teams inside Bunker with Caustic traps. The open areas make Caustic’s speed an issue for teams, and the large buildings have enough escape routes to mitigate his effectiven

Her voices occur when someone is aiming at her, letting Wraith know when she is about to be under fire. The portal is an excellent way out for both you and your teammates, something INTPs will be very interested

These thematic Battle Pass skins are intriguing as they play into the Jekyll-and-Hyde aspect of the trailer. Skins sometimes connote a nod to the game's lore, such as the Wraith Voidwalker skin. While it may be a stretch, it's possible that the two-faced theme may end up with Lifeline, Wraith and Wattson usurped by darkn

The master of Mobility, Pathfinder is the perfect champion for World’s Edge. He can zipline his team up high (where most gunfights are won) to shoot down on enemies. He can grapple in and out of fights with e

Another master of intel, Bloodhound feels like he should be higher on the list for how fun he is on World’s Edge. Yet, his scan isn’t always viable if the distance is too great between teams. This happens often in wide-open areas between drop hubs and in city fights where the distance between buildings, or even between the top and bottom floor of the high ri

Throughout the commercial, scenes flicker, projecting the aura that things aren’t as safe and secure as Hammond would like you to believe. Superimposed images show a very different Capitol City, which is split into two sections with lava flowing through

The trailer also shows off Revenant’s totem, once again reflecting this Jekyll-and-Hyde theme that shows players in two different physical states. Players who go near it morph into shadow versions of themselves. This is similar to what players saw during Halloween’s Fright or Flight event, which may have secretly been a test event for the shadow abil

At the new incarnation of Geyser, which looks far more desolate than before, Revenant shows off the new bolt-action sniper rifle. Called the Sentinel, it purportedly has some type of charge mechanic, though it will be hard to understand how it differs from a weapon such as the Charge Rifle until players can test it on their

None of these battle royale games drew upon "hero shooter" model that Overwatch had popularized. Overwatch is purely a team game. To succeed, individual players must combine their unique abilities to make decisions that benefit the team as a whole. And, because heroes’ abilities to support one another are integral to team success, Activision Blizzard had learned to leverage characters' backstories into social media content such as alternate reality games (ARG) and cinemagra

Mirage’s ultimate is not only a good escape tactic but also can be used to sneak up on an unsuspecting enemy while your team engages from another direction. Mirage makes the top half because of his ability to distract and maneuver around the enemy te

His Insider Knowledge passive lets the player plan ahead to maximize positioning. His quips are always hilarious, even when losing to him. In short, MRVN’s ability to traverse the map and allow his team to do the same is what makes him the best option on the World’s Edge

Hardly ever does a lifeline drop her healing drone and while her shield during revives is great in a pinch, it is also a beacon for enemies that are looking to clean up and move. Her greatest asset is the speed she gets when using heals or reviving, so long as she is using it to keep the team going rather than rushing into the fray with a peacekee

The damage reduction combined with the gun shield makes him a danger at any range and in most situations. His ability to scare people off the high ground with his Ultimate is the icing on the cake for Gibraltar in the current Apex Legends crafting guide

In pursuing the hop-up route, it might prove more successful than the Hammerpoints in bringing some life to the Mozambique and P2020. Players could conceivably be given the option to pick up a second Mozambique as a hop-up rather than a standalone wea
