Apex Legends: Season 3's 10 Biggest Changes

The rescue ship countdown begins the moment there are 10 Legends left in the game. By taking out other Legends early, players can ensure they have a large radius to get to the rescue ship when it arrives. A bigger play area provides fewer opportunities for Shadow Legends to spot still-alive Legends as they maneuver toward the s

The game still has very healthy numbers and offers a great free-to-play alternative for people. Will that base stick around once all of the major Fall video game releases start hitting shelves? Well, we'll have to wait and

It’s a lot of fun to move quickly, but that doesn’t mean high-speed movement is always the best idea. For instance, increased movement speed also means these characters slide faster, so it’s possible to slide right by a Legend target when attempting to melee them at full sp

In Shadowfall , undead players' melee attacks do a whopping ~~158 damage each~~ 150 damage each. ( Update: The Shadow Legend melees do 150 damage, but with the Low Profile trait for Wraith, Pathfinder, Wattson and Lifeline, this amounts to 158. Since Gibraltar and Caustic both have the Fortified trait, these characters take 15% less damage. This means zombie melees grant around 133 damage .) If a Legend has only a while shield, this amounts to ~~a one-hit kill~~ . a one-hit kill for most characters. Therefore, it’s important to have at least a Level 2 shield early on in the game. The game’s supply ship and hot zones will almost always have Level 3 or Level 4 shields somewhere. However, players may have to fight other Legends for t

In most FPS games — and in battle royale-style games in particular — players who have the high ground have serious advantages. High ground positioning makes it easier to spot enemies, to block their shots using the jutting edge of the terrain and to more easily get headshots against oppone

As a result, many are now wondering if Respawn Entertainment is solely responsible for the Iron Crate Pack controversy, or if they are being heavily leaned upon by EA to adopt the model they have used in their ga

Many people think that Apex Legends was a flash in the pan, as its numbers on Twitch and other gaming-centric sites dropped since launch. The truth is that there are very few things that can compete with League of Legends or Fortnite , so comparing numbers to those titans is unf

It turns out that rummaging through things you shouldn't online could cause you to lose everything and everyone you love. He was hunted by powerful men, and, in turn, became something and someone his previous self wouldn't recogn

A lot of Legends saw tweaks to their tactical and ultimate abilities, but the man of the hour has to be Gibraltar . The first and biggest change is for his Dome Shield, which now allows allies inside of it to utilize healing items twenty-five percent faster, and can be thrown more than sixty percent further, at the minor expense of charging ten seconds slo

One added benefit of a coordinated push in this manner is that it makes it harder for opponents to shoot the pushing player’s team. When players are close to the side of a mountain or platform means the enemy often has to look straight down to shoot, making it tough for them to line up the perfect shot and requiring them to stand right on the edge to get a good line of sight. The pushing team can use this to their own advantage to laser a player trying to line up their downward-facing s

Shadow characters can walk through the storm without taking damage. They can also use ziplines and Wraith’s portals. They are unable to open doors but are able to melee through them, and they can climb extremely high relative to the Legends. An understanding of what a shadow character can and can’t do will help guide decision-making during the m

Apex Legends launched with a thunderous boom onto the PC , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One in February of this past year. Although it had a fantastic start, the game has plummeted in popularity, and many are wondering if this is due to problems with the developer, Respawn Entertainment, or if EA has more control than players are aw

The kindest way to describe the current state of Apex Legends is that it has destroyed its own potential in its pending death by a thousand cuts. One indicator of a game’s popularity is its viewership numbers on Twitch , which tell a story of how interested people are in watching the game's content. Although not representative exactly of the number of players in the game, we can see a steady decline over the past six mon

Frequently, near the end of the game, there’s no good way for a low-ground player to match an opposing team’s high ground position. This may be because the final circle formation leaves no way to match the opponent’s position without venturing into a high-damage storm, or that any means to reach the opponent is heavily guar

Instead of being a flat point reward, the points from kills will now benefit from placement "multipliers." For example, placing fifth pays out 30 RP, and ps5gamers.Com has a kill multiplier of 15. This means that getting four kills in that game would've netted 60 points, for a total of 90. It still caps out at five kills, but provides way more incentive to actually get those ki
