Then you have Bloodhound, the non-binary espionage expert. It’s a cool way to put a non-binary character in a AAA game, I feel, because whatever perceived «gendered» physical characteristics they might have are obscured by a gas mask and bulky clothing. Their appearance is calculated very deliberately to be genderless and ambiguous, which is a great artistic choice. Oh, and let’s talk for a second about Gibralter. Here’s this goofy and sweet beefcake who’s gay and doesn’t have some sort of sad backstory about it. He’s not cuckolded and sad like Soldier 76, whose story echoes literally every Hollywood movie ever written about gay men that’s not called Moonlight, or if he is, we don’t know about it. That’s rad as h
Once you’ve started to accumulate a few guns, it can be worth it to get a pair of weapons that complement each other – one for close up work and one for Hazard Transformation range. The maps often have variable terrain and no one tactic or weapon will work in all situati
I digress. First, let’s talk about the female characters – practically all of them look the goddamn same. Outliers like Mei and Zarya notwithstanding, almost every single female character, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or occupation, are identical in both facial characteristics and body type. A gruff military woman hailing from Egypt has the same ass and bust and weight of an introverted teenage hacker from Mexico, a socially awkward Indian mathematician, a dumb white cowgirl, a Swedish welder, a German doctor, a professional gamer from Korea, a French sniper, a white whatever-the-fuck Tracer is, et cet
The Peacekeeper, sadly, is now a care package weapon in Season 6. This means that it’s a little bit rarer to wield from game to game, but it’s still as powerful as ever. When calculating where weapons fall in a tier-based list it’s important to factor in how easily obtainable a weapon is. It’s useless if a weapon is meta-breaking if it can only be used in very select instances. It comes with 15 special shotgun shells, but with the power the Peacekeeper is packing, that’s going to be more than enough to dismantle your f
The Silence ability is certainly one that deserves more use by Revenant players online. It recharges fast, so there’s no reason not to use it whenever you see enemies, but it can also make for a fascinating way to block off your opponent’s paths. This is literal in the case of Pathfinder and Horizon , who thrive on the ability to escape the battlefield quickly and easily, but also counts for situational encount
Play the PC and then the mobile version of PUBG and it’s easy to see where the development strayed off too far. Since the mobile version is a free game, it has tons of cosmetic features and other annoying advertisements to make up for the price
PUBG Mobile does a good job with this. You can play while on a bus or train ride to school or work (or even play in those places, just don’t get caught). Good luck trying to do this on a PS4 or Xbox
But even the outliers have their own problems. Ana, an elderly woman in a sick-ass headscarf, gets a skin that makes her younger and sexier. Mei seems kind of portly, until you put on literally anything other than her default outfit and realize, huh, she’s actually just got a pretty conventionally acceptable hourglass figure and enormous tits. The only one I can give any props to, really, is Zarya. Despite the silly boob armor, she genuinely bucks conventional design trends with it comes to female characters, both in terms of personality and physicality. She’s more in line with the wild diversity present in the male characters, and I really do wish that diversity was represented in the female charact
Revenant’s ultimate ability is by far the most interesting of the bunch though, as you might expect. The Death Totem can be used in a variety of ways, but first and foremost it should be used to ambush opponents that are holed up in a central location – usually inside a building. Essentially Revenant places down a Death Totem, and any players – ally or enemy – that touches it will enter Death Protection mode. As soon as their health falls low in this mode they will be teleported back to the totem with half HP. As long as you place the totem in a safe place outside of grenade range and inside the ring, then this is a great ultimate ability which suits many situati
Everyone at this point understands that the care package weapons will always be the most powerful in Apex Legends . When looking at every other weapon though it’s important to know which ones stand close to a fighting chance. The Prowler with automatic fire via the selectfire attachment has the highest DPS or damage-per-second of any non-care package weapon. If it didn’t rely so heavily on an attachment to make it viable it would certainly be higher on the l
However, Apex’s cast isn’t just head-and-shoulders above its competitors. Instead, it goes for the jugular of a personal favorite: Overwatch. The comparisons are impossible to not see. Chatter that dumps lore, signature voice lines, a MOBA-lite class system… the list goes on. But the thing is that not only is Apex clearly influenced by Overwatch, it’s hellbent on improving on it. Every person on the design team of Apex went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver a game with characters that are, on both a conceptual and aesthetic level, more interesting than anything Blizzard could come up w
