56-year-old streamer stuns Apex Legends community by wiping 2 squads by himself Duncanas | Twitch/Apex LegendsA 56-year-old Apex Legends streamer Duncanas wiped two entire squads by himself in an incredible play, showing that you’re never too old to carry a game. Video games are truly a hobby for all ages. However, considering younger audiences dominate competitive multiplayer games like Apex Legends, it can be easy to forget that older players are fully capable of carrying their teams. Streamer Duncanas did just that in a highlight clip of him taking down 2 separate squads almost entirely by himself. Never too old to carry your team in Apex Legends This 56-year-old Australian phenom had no fear when running into two different squads to bring home the win for his team. Duncanas made this look easy. He won fights at both long range and close range, used Valkyrie’s jet boosters to reposition, and played around the enemy Bangalore’s smokes to perfection. Even with his teammates both getting downed, he kept his cool and made this play look easy. This isn’t just a one-off instance, either. Duncanas streams regularly on his Twitch channel, and has a TikTok account that has accrued over 600 million total views with content almost solely built around Respawn’s shooter. His TikTok content covers a wide range of Apex-related topics, one of which are tutorials on game mechanics. Not only is Duncanas racking up wins of his own wins, but he’s also teaching his audience how to do the same. On top of all that, apparently this win as Valkyrie wasn’t their only win that night. He replied to some commenters on the original Reddit post, thanking some of them and also talking about younger fans wanting to carry him. And, according to Duncan, he won 3 games that night alone. “Won 3 games in 1.5 hours last night, so I’m doing OK. No carry required. ;-)”

6 Apex Legends tips to consistently hit sniper shots up close Respawn EntertainmentSniping up close can be very powerful in Apex Legends, and popular YouTuber ‘The Gaming Merchant’ has shared some important tips to mastering the skill. Just as with most other multiplayer shooters, sniping isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do in Apex Legends, which is why a lot of players shy away from picking up those longer-range rifles. It becomes even more difficult when the enemy players are up close, but once mastered, it can actually prove to be a very viable tactic that can really increase the number of kills you get per match. You see, sniper rifles can effectively double up as incredibly powerful shotguns, so to speak, so if you crack someone at close- or medium-range, you will deal a very high amount of damage or possibly even down them right away. Read More: Apex bug makes it a pain to use Bloodhound – Whereas sniping at long distances, while still a good skill to have, often doesn’t end up with you getting a kill because the player can just heal up, or teammates can revive them if they get knocked. Here we have some tips on how to drastically improve your ability to hit those shots up close, courtesy of The Gaming Merchant, whose instructional video can be found below. Find the perfect sensitivity In order to really improve your accuracy and precision with close-range snipes, you’ll inevitably have to increase your sensitivity, because the skill requires the faster movement of your reticle. The Gaming Merchant currently uses a 6.0 mouse sensitivity, and if you’re on controller, you should move your look sensitivity into the ‘higher’ range, and also lower your Response Curve, which allows you to cut across your screen much faster. Of course, there is not 100% correct answer to this, so a good way to find that perfect sens is to play around with the settings and try different ones out in Firing Range. Have a very “light touch” The YouTuber recommends having a “light touch” on your mouse or controller when aiming down sights, meaning that you shouldn’t push down on the buttons or joysticks too hard. “You need to be able to move very freely, and by that I mean don’t push down too hard on it, you need to let it flick over to the target and then, as soon as it’s flicked, you can make small adjustments. Move very freely across your mousepad or on your joystick as fast as you can,” he says. Zoom in and track As The Gaming Merchant says in the video, there’s no reliable way to consistently hit sniper shots, close or far, if you’re just randomly shooting instead of following some sort of established routine. In order to nail those short-range snipes, you should always zoom in, quickly flick or track over to the target, and press shoot. The idea behind this is that you have a very small window between the ADS and the shot to place your reticle on the enemy player. With enough practice, this should embed itself into your muscle memory and become standard in-game. It’s important to note that this is not randomly flicking your scope towards the target and shooting. The term ‘flick,’ in the context of this guide, means adjusting your aim so that your crosshairs are over the enemy player. You shouldn’t take the shot until you’ve gotten the chance to position your reticle properly, so avoid random shots at all times. Use the best scopes This method is obviously easier to do with shorter-range scopes because those optics take fractionally less time to ADS and zoom in than the longer-range ones. Keep in mind that there’s some overlap between the various scopes. For example, there’s a 2x-4x one and there’s a 4x-8x one, in which case you should always go for the former. Putting that one on the 4x will have the same zoom as the 4x-8x, but with a noticeably faster aim down sight speed. Use your other weapon Once you land that close-range snipe, the best thing to do next is to switch to your other weapon and finish the job. As mentioned above, those shorter-distance sniper shots are almost like hitting someone with a shotgun that does a lot of damage; they’re not going to have too much health left, and you should be able to kill them with your secondary gun before they have a chance to heal up. Practice! Practice! Practice! This sort of sniping technique can’t be mastered overnight, so the hard way is the only way – lots and lots of practice. As The Gaming Merchant advised in his video, think of each shot as its own practice attempt, and take into account which aspects of it you need to work on. The Firing Range is going to be your best friend for this, they have all the sniper rifles, scopes, and dummies you need to get good at it. Once you have a decent grasp, you can start implementing it into your in-game arsenal and try it against enemy players.

7 Apex Legends changes not announced in Grand Soirée update patch notes Following the launch of the Grand Soirée Arcade in-game event in Apex Legends, popular YouTuber ‘TheGamingMerchant’ has discovered that Respawn Entertainment had made several changes without disclosing them in the official patch notes. The Grand Soirée Arcade Event is very much underway in Apex Legends, adding a ton of new content such as several brand new limited-time modes, a lot of new cosmetic items, and more. The launch of this event came as part of a larger update on January 14, in which Respawn implemented changes to several Legends and weapons, in addition to a bunch of fixes for bugs and glitches. However, players were quick to notice several changes were made that did not get disclosed in the update’s patch notes, for one reason or another. Read More: All nerfs & buffs from Grand Soirée update – We’ve included a breakdown of all seven of the unannounced changes below, courtesy of The Gaming Merchant, who recently posted a video about it on his YouTube channel. Unannounced Apex Legends Grand Soirée changes FIRING RANGE DUMMIES IMPROVED The AI dummies found in the game’s Firing Range training area have been considerably improved so that they’re “a lot smarter now,” reacting much more aggressively when engaged and will hunt down players who try to pick a fight with them. It’s not exactly clear why Respawn made this change, although it could be for players to prepare better for the upcoming Dummies Big Day LTM, which will take place January 26-28. RED DEATH BOXES Players who have a Vault Key in their inventory now drop red-colored loot boxes when eliminated, letting others know that their death box contains the ultra-rare item. The Vault Key’s rarity trumps Legendary, so the boxes will show as red even if there are gold items inside. EVENT COSMETICS ADDED TO LOOT POOL The Grand Soirée Arcade Event introduced a lot of new outfit skins and weapon camos, some of which were added into the main loot pool without Respawn making an announcement about it. The significance of this is that the cosmetic items added to the main loot pool can be directly purchased or crafted and do not need to be unlocked by opening Apex Packs. IMPROVED LONGBOW IRON SIGHT The iron sight for the Longbow DMR was cleaned up with this update, with the new one offering players a lot more visibility than the old one. PATHFINDER STAT TRACKER The Event Prize Tracker in the Grand Soirée Arcade Event contains stat trackers that players can unlock for free. These stat trackers, currently only available for the Pathfinder, show how many wins, kills, and damage you have gotten while playing as the robot Legend. It’s not clear when, or if, something like this will be added for other Legends but it’s certainly a positive sign from Respawn because fans have been asking for such a feature for quite a while. NEW REVIVE ANIMATION Gibraltar has received a new animation for reviving teammates when inside his Dome Shield. The January 14 update buffed Gibraltar so that he can now revive squadmates faster under the shield, and that’s translated into a new animation. TOURNAMENT MODE AND PRIVATE MATCHES The update added a new option to the main menu that leads to custom private matches and tournament mode. Access past that screen is currently restricted, and there’s no telling when it’ll be made available to the public, but recent leaks have revealed how this feature functions once you get past the locked area. While none of these changes are drastic or game-changing, they’re still worth taking note of, especially since Respawn didn’t mention them in their official patch notes. The Grand Soirée Arcade Event is scheduled to run until Tuesday, January 28, a few days before Season 3 will wrap up in favor of Season 4.

55-year-old “boomer” gamer goes viral with insane Apex Legends clip YouTube: BoomerGamingSelf-proclaimed “Boomer” gamer, known as Duncanas on Twitch, has gone viral thanks to a clip of him dominating the opposition on Apex Legends, even receiving praise from a developer. Gaming might still be considered a hobby for the younger generation, but this continues to become less true with each passing year, as veteran gamers keep their passion burning for games. Twitch is now home to more than a few older players, and no one can forget the famous Skyrim Grandma, Shirley Curry, who went viral herself for playing Bethesda’s RPG in her 80’s. Duncan McLeod, who runs the ‘Boomer Gaming’ YouTube and Twitch channels, spends most of his streams playing Apex Legends, and for a 55-year-old, his skill may surprise you. Although most people expect FPS games to be the domain of the younger generation, thanks to faster reaction times and snappy aim, McLeod proves that with practice, anyone can pull their weight on the team. Sharing one of his highlights to the Apex Legends subreddit, he went instantly viral, clocking up over 30,000 upvotes at the time of writing, and the attention of a developer. The dev simply commented “Damn Duncan! Get em,” and Duncan took the opportunity to plug his YouTube videos about changes he wants to be made to the game, including SBMM and Quality of Life features. The clip in question was actually pulled from his most recent YouTube video, about improving movement and positioning in Apex Legends: Other players also commented about their own experience as an older player, explaining that there is a larger community of 40+ Apex Legends players than most people would expect. “There is a group of us that play and the youngest is in his 40s and the oldest is 54,” one explained. Duncan also said that despite his age, he is almost never the target of trolls or toxicity, but says “It may just be that with my Australian accent and humor I have a tendency to disarm them and don’t let anything get to me.” You can catch ‘Boomer Gaming’ streaming live on Twitch almost every day.

5 things Apex Legends needs in 2022 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends is about to head into its third year, and if the past two years have taught us anything, the innovation won’t stop. But there are some major absences still present for a game of its age and popularity. Here are the five features Apex Legends needs to add in 2022. 2021 saw the biggest innovations in Apex since launch, namely with Arenas, and the new map Storm Point, which introduced a number of new gameplay mechanics. However, players have also complained about a general lack of content, with very few limited-time modes, and events focusing more on new cosmetics than new gameplay experiences. There are also glaring omissions such as a lack of cross-progression and next-gen updates for the latest console releases – originally announced for 2021, but clearly, that’s not happening now. This is what Apex needs to prioritize in 2022. Cross-progression & console updates By far the most requested features for Apex, cross-progression capability and next-gen updates are an absolute must for Apex this coming year. It’s taken far too long for both of these to be implemented, particularly cross-progression. With cross-play available, players should be able to switch seamlessly between platforms without having to start a brand new account, losing all their progress and unlocks. Respawn has said many times that adding cross-progression has proved difficult, but at this point, it’s simply a must-have at all costs. Next-gen updates were announced by EA soon after the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S were launched, but missed their schedule for 2021. Hopefully, we will see FPS improvements for these more powerful consoles in the early part of 2022. Support Legends There were four new characters added in 2021: Fuse, Valkyrie, Seer, and Ash. Seer is a ‘recon’ Legend, of which there are multiple, and assault Legends make up the rest – of which there are arguably too many. One area that is severely lacking in the Legend roster is more support characters. We have Lifeline and Loba, but Lifeline is the only character really focused on healing, with Loba’s kit built around loot. Another medic-like character would give players at least some variety if they want to play this way. A shield support Legend would perhaps be the obvious option here. Firing Range Updates Bar a few minor changes and fixes, the Firing Range has remained largely unchanged since its release over two years ago. Meanwhile, the firing range in Apex Legends Mobile is better in every single way. Unlimited ammo, different game modes and challenges, training routines, and everything a complete firing range needs, feature in the mobile version of Apex. Read More: Respawn considering Apex Legends region lock – Respawn devs previously teased firing range updates for the main game, but these didn’t come in Season 11 as expected. Season 12 is hopefully the target. Team Deathmatch Arenas is a good mode, and Ranked Arenas provides another great option to grind and prove yourself. But, it’s a very structured mode, with economy, small teams, and a round-based system. Apex would certainly benefit from some looser, casual modes, where players can just practice weapons, abilities and equipment freely, against other opponents. The aforementioned Firing Range updates might provide some of this, but a team-deathmatch or free-for-all mode would be a great addition. Again, this is a feature that is already available in Apex Legends Mobile, which has a 6v6 mode played on Arenas maps. Fingers crossed that this mode will make it to the main game too in 2022. Creator Codes This isn’t a game feature, admittedly, but creator codes do have a unique advantage of potentially growing the Apex Legends player base indirectly. Creator Codes provide incentives for influencers to play, stream, and make content about Apex Legends. We’ve seen in 2021 that a number of big-name streamers have come to Apex for the first time, including NICKMERCS, Tfue, and Ninja. Maintaining a strong base of content creators in the game and gaining more is one of the best ways to increase the overall popularity of a game. Fortnite has proved this in abundance, and EA already has creator codes for other games in its catalog, so why not Apex yet? Of course, there are lots of other small improvements that could be made to Apex, including more LTMs, rotating all four BR maps, buffs to some of the forgotten Legends (Crypto). With Apex Legends having a very strong year in 2021 despite some of these gaps, 2022 could be a massive year of growth and expansion for Respawn’s franchise.

5 things we learned from Apex Legends Season 5 launch trailer Respawn EntertainmentThe launch trailer for the highly-anticipated Apex Legends Season 5: Fortune’s Favor was released on May 5, and a closer look at the details revealed more about what lays in store. There is no better time in Apex Legends than the start of a new season, and with Season 5 set to kick off on May 12, Respawn Entertainment have released the launch trailer for Fortune’s Favor. The cinematic is incredible as always, and even though the devs didn’t explicitly announce anything in it, there are definitely some sequences that serve as major hints for the upcoming chapter. Here are five things we learned from the trailer that may have been missed. Loba’s abilities As everyone knows by now, Loba will be the newest Legend introduced come Season 5 – but as far as her abilities go, Respawn have remained largely mum, so far. This latest trailer gave fans their first glimpse at her kit, including the little disk she throws around that allows her to teleport, as well as when she stole a weapon from one of the robots. Read More: Apex Legends Season 5 launch trailer – Those seem to line up with what has been leaked regarding her set of abilities, which means there’s a very good chance this is what her kit will be once Fortune’s Favor releases. Burglar’s Best Friend – Throw a disc and teleport to that location. – Supply for Demand – Hold to choose a type of loot. Reveal that type of loot in the area around you through walls. – Eye for Quality – Loba can see through nearby walls for loot. – Black Market Boutique – Place a device that can steal all nearby loot. – New Heirloom teaser Heirlooms are the rarest kinds of cosmetic items in Apex Legends, and it appears we may have gotten a teaser for another one. Around the midway point of the trailer, Loba can be seen using a long silver staff with a figurine of a wolf’s head at the end of it. While she clearly uses it as part of her ability to steal others’ loot (when she steals a robot’s gun), there’s reason to believe it could be her Heirloom, as well. Much like other Heirlooms, the staff is very personalized (Loba means wolf in Portuguese), and she uses it as a melee weapon when knocking down the attacking bots. Skull Town destroyed Skull Town is one of the most popular and prominent points of interest on Kings Canyon, but there’s now reason to believe that it might not even exist in the Season 5 version of the map. At the end of the trailer, after Loba escapes from the exploding facility, a massive skull can be seen falling through a giant hole in the ground – an obvious hint that either the location is going to undergo some huge changes, or it’ll be gone, altogether. Underground facility The previous Loba teaser gave a short glimpse at a never-before-seen area in Apex Legends, which turned out to be the hidden underground Hammond Robotics facility that she sneaks into at the start of the trailer. Filled with dozens of cyborgs similar to Revenant, this location is as ominous as any on the map, and the role it will play come Season 5 remains to be seen. Could we see Hammond Robotics unleash their army of deadly androids at some point? Respawn have also made it clear in their teasers that there will be a new location added, and considering where this facility was placed in the video, it’s definitely a candidate to replace Skull Town if it does indeed get destroyed. New shield ability At the start of the trailer we see a defeated Pathfinder about to get blown to bits by Mirage, but a blue shield comes out of nowhere to save the Forward Scout. Could this be a teaser for a new ability? It’s highly unlikely that Respawn would give Pathfinder a shield, considering how powerful the robot already is in the game, but there’s another Legend who could be sporting it come Season 5 – Lifeline. Most Apex players agree that Lifeline is in dire need of a buff, and this shield could be just that – an expansion to her Combat Medic Passive ability so that she generates a whole dome whenever she’s reviving a teammate. Not only would that make reviving others a lot easier, but any health-related action done within the dome, such as consuming Med Kits or Shield Cells, would also be sped up. That said, we’d need more information before considering this a done deal, especially since there’s always the chance that the shield could just be Gibraltar’s. Apex Legends Season 5: Fortune’s Favor is set to go live on Tuesday, May 12, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It was delayed by a week from its original May 5 release date in order to accommodate the Battle Armor Event and for players to have more time wrapping up last-minute Season 4 business.

5 Titanfall guns Apex Legends needs to add Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends adds a new gun to its ever-growing loot horde every season, and these new additions are often from Respawn’s original FPS franchise Titanfall too — here’s five more we think would fit perfectly in the battle royale. Respawn has become famous for bringing elements of their original FPS series to their new battle royale — in fact, there’s even a chance some of Titanfall’s most famous enemies could be making the switch in Season 5. One key element the devs constantly bring across is guns. Weapons like the R-301, Flatline, Season 3’s infamous Charge Rifle, and more all started life in the Titanfall frontier. Here’s five more we think need to be added to Apex too. Volt SMG The Volt Submachine Gun is probably the gun on this list most likely to actually arrive in the game in the next little while. In fact, new leaks uncovered earlier this week even suggest the energy weapon could be Season 5’s new gun. Titanfall players would know the Volt is similar to the R-99. The key difference, however, is it runs on energy ammo like the L-STAR or the Havoc. On top of that, the Volt boasts a lower rate of fire in Titanfall, making it deadly accurate. If Respawn decides to drop the Volt SMG into the loot pool, it would likely be one of the best gun-picks in the game, considering its heavy-weapon cousin the L-STAR reigned supreme across World’s Edge during most of last season. G2A5 Battle Rifle The G2A5 was a Titanfall 2-specific weapon, after Lastimosa Armory — the weapon’s original developers — upgraded their flagship battle rifle between the first and second games. The key quality of the G2A5 is its semi-auto hammer. That means you can shoot the battle rifle as quickly as you can hit the trigger. Basically, think a faster-firing G7 Scout. The only downside to this could be the R-301 and the G7 both shine at different ranges at the moment — the G2A5 could struggle to find a place in the meta. EM-4 Cold War Apex Legends may be changed forever if the EM-4 Cold War Plasma Launcher actually found its way to Kings Canyon. Designed by Vinson in the first Titanfall title, the grenade launcher was so strong it was hooked from the sequel. Nearly every weapon in Apex right now is a standard bullet or energy-based weapon, with explosives left to pick-up grenades. The EM-4 would change the game — no longer could enemy squads hide behind rocks as you reign detonations around them. Of course, that does mean the idea of the “noob tube” player could sneak into Apex Legends as well. If this was a gun found around the map, it could be a must-take as a secondary pick, so it makes sense Respawn have been slow to consider this. The Cold War is already in the Apex game code too, meaning it could be close to joining the game. More likely, though, is the data files are just carryovers from before Titanfall 3 pivoted to become a battle royale instead. LG-97 Thunderbolt The LG-97 Thunderbolt may have been included in Titanfall as an anti-vehicle weapon, but a small tweak may make it just as deadly against infantry in Apex too. The Thunderbolt would also mark one of the first area-of-effect weapons in the game. When fired, the energy projector launches a large, slow-moving ball of electricity that damages any enemy in its radius on its flight path. Imagine you’re battling through the halls of Wraith’s Labs, only to see a ball of lightning tear down the hallway towards you — terrifying. Out in the open, the gun could do damage too, forcing teams to scatter if they want to stay alive. Anti-Titan Sidewinder Micro Rocket Launcher Okay, okay, this one may be a bit of a stretch. The AT-SMR is a deadly weapon in Titanfall, but most of its power comes from being able to demolish enemy Titans — a deadly vehicle that is nowhere to be seen in Apex Legends. Unlike the LG-97 Thunderbolt, the AT-SMR is based around locking on to targets. Basically, without vehicles in Apex, titans or otherwise, the Sidewinder would need a big rework to make sense in the battle royale. If trucks, cars, or planes are added to Respawn’s ever-expanding title in the future though, expect the Sidewinder to be waiting in the wings too. There’s currently no suggestion they will, be considering Apex has at least four more seasons to go, it could still happen. So there you have it — five weapons that could make a big impact on Apex if they were to be added to the battle royale. Whether they’d all be balanced or not is another question, but that’s a problem for Respawn to solve!

5 unreleased Apex Legends characters leaked by data miners Respawn EntertainmentNew Apex Legends leaks have surfaced, pointing towards a whole host of new Legends being added to the game at some point in the future. Data miners have been scouring the game’s files since the recent March 6 update, discovering a a wide range of new things. Two weapons, a Flamethrower and a Remote Turret, were uncovered on March 8 before leakers also stumbled on to a potential Night Mode for the Kings Canyon map. Now, it looks like they may have uncovered a whole host of new Legends – in addition to the previously leaked new Legend, Octane. Twitter user ApexLeaksNews tweeted out screenshots of legends that are alledgedly a work-in-progress that have been discovered in new texture files for the game. The screenshots show these new Legends spliced in-between current Legends like Bloodhound and Caustic. While the photo can be difficult to see, one character that stands out looks to wear a skull-mask while being kitted out with a helmet and armor plating up to its neck. Here’s a less watermarked image pic.twitter.com/D4jb9ng2wH — Apex Legends ~ Leaks & News (@ApexLeaksNews) March 10, 2019 There is currently no official confirmation on a release date for these additions, or even what their names may be in-game. We already know a number of details about Octane – with some details about a Legend named ‘Wattson’ also surfacing recently. As with any leak of game information, there’s a chance that plans could change – meaning these characters may not be released in their previously leaked form or, perhaps, with a different name.

5 worst locations to land on Apex Legends Season 3 World’s Edge map The new World’s Edge map in Apex Legends Season 3: Meltdown offers a lot of options when choosing where to land at, and we’ve come up with a list of the five places you should avoid at the start of matches. The introduction of World’s Edge at the start of Season 3 really injected a whole new set of flavors in the world of Apex Legends. The new map is nearly twice the size of Kings Canyon, the map used in Seasons 1 and 2, and offers 15 distinct named locations that each have their own pros and cons as initial landing spots. While many of those points-of-interest (POI) may be great destinations for the initial drop-down, some of them should be avoided because they just don’t offer enough incentive to make up for all the risk you may take heading there. With that in mind, we’ve determined the five worst locations to land at on World’s Edge, based on three main factors: the quality of loot, position on the map, and popularity. Capitol City Capitol City may actually be the most popular landing spot on World’s Edge, mainly due to its size and central location, which is why you should try to avoid landing there at all costs. The quality of the loot is usually average at best and there are just so many enemy teams around, so the chances of you finding high-tier loot and managing to get out with all three teammates alive are not great. Read More: Leaked Apex characters receive huge overhaul – If you prefer this metropolis-type of location, then Skyhook is more than a suitable substitute landing spot, but we would highly recommend landing at Epicenter. Epicenter is not nearly as crowded or massive and it offers better chances at finding good loot, and you can always use its position to pick off hurt teams trying to get out of Capitol City. Thermal Station Although its not a central location by any means, Thermal Station is still extremely popular, mainly due to its tendency to carry a lot of loot, much of which is actually good quality. However, do not give in to the temptation of landing there, because its one of the largest POIs on the map and also very difficult to get through, due to both its convoluted structure and the high number of enemy teams waiting around every corner. The nearest location to it that’s a lot more manageable to land at is Train Station, which is a lot less populated, also offers decent loot, is protected by surrounding cliffs, and is a lot more central on the map. The Tree Located right next to Thermal Station, The Tree is another location you should avoid landing at, but for the complete opposite reason. It’s definitely one of the least popular landing spots on the map, but that’s because it really lacks on loot, both in terms of quantity and quality. And if, by chance, another team or two decided to land there, there simply wouldn’t be enough loot for everyone, so you or your teammates could find yourselves fighting with incomplete inventories. Added to that is the fact that it’s tucked so far into the bottom right quadrant of the map, so any circle that starts towards the northern half will take a while to get to. Not to mention the fact that teams coming out of the adjacent Thermal Station are bound to be good players that have a lot of top-tier loot, so you would be at a major disadvantage if they tried to engage you, especially if you’re trying to get to the circle. Drill Site Much like The Tree, Drill Site simply doesn’t have enough loot, especially high-tier, for it to be a legitimate option as a landing spot at the start of matches. In fact, it may be even worse than The Tree, since there are three POIs surrounding it that are much more worth dropping at. Lava Fissure, The Train Yard, and Skyhook are all decent landing spots, all with much better loot and more of it. Starting off at Drill Site is just begging to be at an early disadvantage. While it may be the calmest location of the four in the top left quadrant of the map, you will find it difficult to stack up your inventory well enough to successfully overtake the teams that landed in any of the other three adjacent POIs. Sorting Factory The Sorting Factory might actually challenge Capitol City as the most popular landing spot on World’s Edge, and thus the same reasons apply for why you shouldn’t aim for it as a destination off the rip. It’s extremely large, meaning it can take time to get through, and there are usually a lot of teams there every match, so having your head on a swivel is absolutely essential. The one thing it has over its northern counterpart is that it offers a a lot of loot, high-tier too, but that can be both a blessing and a curse because it means that most of the other teams will be able to deck out their inventories just as strongly as you can. Bottom line, is it more worth landing here than Capitol City? Yes. But is it worth landing here in general? Not really, especially since the nearby Lava City and Fuel Depot both also offer decent enough loot without having to deal with waves upon waves of gunfights. There you have it, the five worst places to land on the World’s Edge map in Apex Legends Season 3. Now, it’s important to keep in mind that the validity of this list is contingent on the skill level of each player, meaning that higher-skilled players or those who like to rack up high kill-counts may actually be inclined to land at some of these spots because they can be confident in their abilities to take down enemy teams, even in the most popular locations. However, if you’re not a world-beater in Apex, and you would rather face less chances of dealing with enemies early in matches so that you can focus on putting together your inventory, then it’s probably worth avoiding these locations. Also, while you’re here, make sure to check out our opposite list as well – the top 5 best locations to land at on World’s Edge.

5 features Apex Legends desperately needs Respawn Entertainment’s flagship title has brought a refreshing change of pace to the battle royale genre. Although it is difficult to question Apex Legends’ unprecedented success, there is still an absence of certain features which would improve player experience tenfold. Here are five features that desperately need to come to the Apex Games. We’ve also added some bonus ones that may hold their rightful place in World’s Edge. 1. Replays Post-match replays are a handy tool for casual and competitive players alike. Whether you’re looking to add some cinematics or looks for areas to improve, Apex Legends does not currently offer that facility. Players have been longing for a replay mode for several seasons — with the community requesting the feature on the Apex Legend subreddit mere days after the game’s release. Despite there being no sign on the Apex Legends Tracker, Respawn will surely be looking to implement the feature in a bid to keep up with their battle royale counterpart. 2. Killcam On the topic of learning from one’s mistakes, a killcam facilitates just that. Allowing players to identify how they were taken down not only permits you to learn for next time but also puts your mind at ease of being killed by one of those notorious hackers. Being a much-requested feature on the Apex Legends subreddit, the logistics of a killcam are challenging to incorporate into battle royales. By quickly viewing your assailant’s point-of-view, you could dish out some vital information that your teammates could benefit from. Although killcams have made an appearance in the likes of PUBG and Blackout, they may hinder certain Legends’ abilities during team scenarios. Therefore, a killcam might only serve its purpose in a single player (solo) game mode. 3. Permanent solos/duos modes Solos mode was hugely popular among the battle royale’s faithful following during its brief appearance in the Iron Crown Collection event. Albeit only live for just over two weeks, the single-player mode was the silver lining in the event that was otherwise plagued by its monetization issues. Following on from the success of the limited-time solo mode, Respawn launched a temporary duo mode on November 5. Since the game mode will likely have an expiry date, it appears that the developers are testing the waters before integrating either mode permanently. 4. Cross-play integration After Sony enabled cross-platform multiplayer access to developers, Fortnite and Modern Warfare were among the first to utilize the new tool. Respawn have previously made their intentions clear with cross-play, and a leak has revealed that they are potentially making moves to incorporate it. However, Lead Developer Drew McColl has previously stated: “If it wasn’t a ginormous amount of effort and work, we’d probably already be doing (cross-play).” Not only would it be logistically tricky to implement cross-play with such a small team, but Respawn would also have to find a way to mitigate the movement advantage PC players have before they hop on the bandwagon. 5. Favorite Legend system Ever gone AFK only to come back and find that Respawn decided it was time for your character to hang up their bionic legs and trade them in for a heavy Gun Shield and extra 200 lbs of weight? The final feature on our list is a simple yet effective filter system that would rid that entirely. Reddit user ‘deadend1755’ devised a smart tool that would allow you to favorite your top three Legends. That way, if you prefer to play a more gung-ho style, you can filter your top three characters accordingly. This feature would be potentially the most straightforward for Respawn to add and would avoid being lumbered with accommodating your play-style to suit a character you’d otherwise have no business playing. Bonus features Although the above features are perhaps the most frequently requested, that’s not to say there aren’t any additional features that Apex would benefit from. For example, to replace a killcam in team-based modes, a ‘best play of the game’ cam could be integrated to reward the flashy plays that would otherwise go unnoticed. On the flip side of the coin, there is currently no facility to report players for rogue play — a tool that would have been handy to feedback when players were teaming up during the solo LTM. In terms of features that would directly influence the game’s dynamics, perhaps there is scope to incorporate weather dynamics into the server. Ideally randomly generated, the varied climate within World’s Edge provides the perfect arena to include the effects of all weather conditions on player-vs-player interactions. Should a player find themselves in a sticky situation (whether that be served by a harsh gale or an oncoming squad), an ability to build similarly to Fortnite would add another intriguing dynamic to Apex Legends’ already sophisticated movement system. Of course, building a sky-scraping tower might seem impractical when Pathfinder could scale it in a matter of seconds.

5 “golden rules” to winning 1v3 fights in Apex Legends Respawn Entertainment[jwplayer rSmq5Fo4] Winning fights against one enemy is a task of its own in Apex Legends but against a whole squad? Near-impossible when you don’t know what to do. These five “golden rules,” courtesy of ‘Apocallypsee,’ will help you get out of those sticky situations and land on top. Everyone has single-handedly fought against a whole squad at least one time in Apex Legends, maybe because you’re entire team was eliminated or you just landed in an unlucky spot. Either way, it’s not a pleasant experience, and unless you’re a very high-tier player, these sorts of situations almost always end with the same result: the side with the player advantage ends up on top. To help you shift the odds back in your favor, or at least make them less daunting, Apex Legends player, “Apocallypsee” has posted a guide which breaks down the most important strats when in a 1v3 situation. How to win 1v3s in Apex Legends Use your enemy’s overconfidence in your favor Any squad that goes against one player will feel almost invincible as the odds in a fight are greater on their side. Using that overconfidence against them, you can set up the battle from the get-go as the enemy team is more likely to rush you. Once you’ve gotten their attention, you can start utilizing whatever area and cover you have around you and, if possible, use your abilities to hinder or damage your opponents. Lulling them into thinking you’re not a challenge will make them prone to making mistakes since their guard is down, which will help you take them out. Split up the enemy Dividing and conquering your enemies is essential with 1v3 fights, as it’s easier to pick off one player than it is two or three at the same time. By splitting up the opposing team, you’re given the ability to take things slow and play in your favor and eliminate your opponents one by one, without having to be overwhelmed. Always thirst the first enemy Thirsting is basically eliminating the enemy immediately after knocking them down, which is commonly used when players are greedy or are in dire need of healing items during a fight. In 1v3 situations, you should always thirst the first opponent since it neutralizes one of the threats and makes sure that the enemy can’t just revive their fallen teammate or heal them. Failing to do so can put you right back at the same disadvantage and essentially waste your initial efforts. Use high ground to your advantage Having a higher vantage point offers endless opportunities for decision-making. For example, figuring out where to go, where to take cover, or determining how far each enemy is apart. By using high ground in your favor, you can start mapping out the locations of each of the remaining opponents. After doing so, you can begin confusing them by playing mind-games from your advantageous position and surprising them from unique angles. Be defensive and aggressive by utilizing cover After all that fighting and singling out opponents, you might be low in health or reloading, which is the perfect chance to play peek-a-boo with your opponents as you take a breather after all that intense action. Using cover to play both defensively and aggressively by weaving and bobbing behind objects or buildings and utilizing that movement to fire; some shots will give you the upper hand in winning the fight and staying alive because the enemy won’t be able to shoot back at you. That concludes the five “golden rules” that anyone can follow to help win 1v3 situations during matches. These tips and tricks will help players learn how to become better at handling more than one enemy during fights and finishing on top, despite the clear disadvantage.

5 incredible Apex Legends skins leaked for Lifeline, Mirage, Wattson and more Screenshots via u/Inked_CatA leak has uncovered five new legend skins, as well as a new Wraith animation, which are currently unreleased in Apex Legends. Apex Legends developers Respawn Entertainment have stepped up their game in recent months, first with the launch of Season 2, then the Iron Crown event, and most recently, the Voidwalker event. Unlike Fortnite, these skins don’t introduce new character models, but instead, give a makeover to one of the ten existing legends. The leak has revealed detailed looks at new skins for Bloodhound, Lifeline, Bangalore, Mirage, and Wattson, all with incredible new styles – although Bangalore and Mirage’s skins are fairly plain by comparison. There is also a new character select animation for Wraith, which appears to tie in with the Voidwalker event, seeing her strike the pose from the event’s cover image. You can see all the leaked skins in action below, courtesy of u/Inked_Cat on Reddit. When will leaked Apex Skins release? According to leakers, these skins will all be added to the game for different reasons and at different times. Per u/IndigoOzir. Bangalore: For Voidwalker event: Will cost 500 AC, “available next week” – Mirage: Twitch Prime skin – Lifeline: Available with physical Edition of Apex Legends – Lifeline version – Bloodhound: Available with physical Edition of Apex Legends – Bloodhound version – Wattson: A recolor for black legendary skin – The good news is that Respawn are continuing to up their game when it comes to cosmetic items, becoming more frequent and more creative as the game progresses. There’s no doubt that Apex Legends took a hit in popularity throughout Season 1, where players were left bereft of new content, but Respawn are finally finding the balance.

5 most underrated weapons in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends meta is constantly shifting and it can be tempting to use the overpowered Legends and weapons. Sometimes, though, it’s best to shake things up with some rather unconventional picks. Here, we break down five of the most underrated weapons you should be using. Apex Legends’ Season 14 update has brought lots of exciting content to Respawn’s battle royale. Not only is there a new Legend that changes the way players handle combat, but there’s also a bunch of new Kings Canyon map changes. While using the game’s best guns will certainly give you an edge, against your rivals, it won’t always guarantee you a win. Those that are willing to master a wide variety of weapons will usually be able to outgun any players that simply stick to meta. After all, every new update brings forward a wave of changes that bring certain guns into the top tier rankings. While the weapons below may not be the best in their individual categories, they do have a great deal of potential if you’re willing to give them a chance. L-STAR The L-STAR is one of the most unique weapons in Apex Legends. It allows you to keep firing as long as you keep under the overheat threshold. This means you can maintain pressure if you simply fire in short bursts and have the necessary ammo reserves. This low ammo reserve is a downside when picking the weapon up off the ground initially, making it a gun to avoid off a hot drop. But, with enough of an ammo reserve, the L-Star will almost always outlast the competition. Especially when you’re playing Rampart. Additionally, the Season 14 update patch notes buffed the L-Star, making it much more usable at longer ranges. The large projectile size combined with its now increased speed makes this weapon a monster at close-mid range. RE-45 The RE-45 is a gun that sees very little use in Apex Legends. However, with how easy it is to access now that it’s craftable and comes with Hammerpoint Rounds, the RE-45 is certainly worth considering as a companion for a long-range weapon. Shotguns are great and all, but sometimes it’s nice to have something with a little more range. If you’re looking for something to run alongside a Marksman Rifle or a Sniper, the RE-45 is a heavily underutilized and very reliable close-range secondary. It may not have the range of an Assault Rifle, but the fact that it’s a pistol makes it a very fast weapon to swap to in a pinch. That combined with a speedy reload and the bonus damage of Hammerpoint Rounds makes this machine pistol worth considering. Alternator The Alternator has held the top spot as the weakest SMG in the game for a while now as far as DPS goes. While its slow rate of fire may put it behind the R-99 and Volt, it does have the added advantage of being very accurate. The recoil for this weapon is almost non-existent, and its hipfire is very accurate (even moreso with a laser sight). Additionally, its high damage per shot in the SMG class combined with a low rate of fire gives this gun a massive margin for error that a weapon like the R-99 just doesn’t have. Not only is the Alternator a great weapon with no attachments in the early game, but it’s fantastic for newer players who are still learning the ropes. Hemlok The Hemlok is a weapon you really don’t hear much about. It tends to get outshined by other Assault Rifles like the R-301 and the Flatline, as well as Marksman Rifles like the 30-30 and Longbow. It has this weird in-between status: Not quite good enough up close like other ARs, not quite good enough at range to be a Marksman Rifle. That is, until you toggle the fire rate to single fire. The Hemlok on single fire is extremely accurate and fires much faster than the Scout or 30-30, allowing you to put more rounds down-range. 20 damage per shot is nothing to scoff at, either. Additionally, the Hemlok does extremely well up-close with some practice due to its tight hipfire spread. The Hemlok won’t be winning any awards for ease of use, but, with how strong this weapon is in the right hands, it’s worth taking the time to master the Hemlok. Prowler The Prowler is yet another weapon that often gets left on the ground because of its steep learning curve. While its 5-round burst is a bit awkward to get used to and makes the weapon unwieldy at longer ranges, its high DPS and tight hipfire spread puts it in the upper echelon of SMGs. This weapon absolutely shreds. Targets with white shields will go down in 3 bursts, making this weapon incredibly powerful on hot drops. Then, once you find a heavy mag and get the magazine size up to 35, this weapon can put down serious DPS without needing to reload. At the absolute most, it’ll take 5 bursts to take down fortified targets with red armor if you’re landing all your shots. Having that breathing room later on to miss a few shots combined with the tight hipfire spread makes the Prowler an incredibly lethal short range option. What it lacks in versatility, it makes up for with raw damage. Nickmercs gave the Prowler his seal of approval, and we agree with him. If you add these five underrated weapons to your arsenal, you’ll secure more kills, no matter the meta. Make sure you follow @TitanfallBlog for all the latest Apex Legends news and updates.

5 new weapon attachments we want to see in Apex Legends There are several weapon attachments available for players in Apex Legends but there’s certainly many more that can be added in the future. Here are five weapon attachments that we’d like to see added to the game in the future. Apex Legends has grown quite a playerbase since its launch in February and it is still growing larger by the day. It doesn’t receive updates as quickly as some players would like it to, notably Fortnite players, but it does receive a lot of support. The Season 1 Battle Pass has given players a lot more content to go through but it left a lot to be desired for many players. Apex Legends has a good amount of weapon attachments currently in the game but with any game that receives regular updates, players expect more. There are a number of attachments that can come to the game, and it all likelihood they probably are. Things like laser sights and silencers come to mind but there are also some other ideas for attachments. Let’s take a look at five attachments we’d like to see come to Apex Legends. Top 5 weapon attachments we want to see As mentioned above, silencers and laser sights seem like they’d be logical choices but as the image above shows, there are also other attachments we’d like to see. The imgur post was originally posted to Reddit by user thetruemaddox and not only are the attachments highlighted, but potential features are shown along with them. Here’s what thetruemaddox has in mind, according to the graphic. Suppressor Level 1: Reduce gunshot audible range by 10% – Level 2: Reduce gunshot audible range by 20% – Level 3: Reduce gunshot audible range by 30% – Level 4: Eliminates muzzle flash visible to enemy. Reduces gunshot audible range by 30%. – – Extended Barrel Level 1: Increase bullet speed by 10% – Level 2: Increase bullet speed by 20% – Level 3: Increase bullet speed by 30% – Level 4: Increase bullet speed by 30%.

7 Apex Legends tips & tricks to improve your movement in Season 6 Respawn Entertainment[jwplayer ePrNLj8A] Movement is one of the most important aspects of Apex Legends, and we’ve got seven pieces of advice to help you improve that area of your game, courtesy of Redditor ‘ThatGuyDes.’ Movement is significant in a lot of battle royale games, especially Apex Legends, which gives players a lot of freedom when it comes to mechanics like jumping, sliding, sprinting, and more. The importance of it in Apex is several-fold, as it not only applies to simple things like going from point A to point B on the map, but also to the heat of gunfight engagements where your mobility skillset can make a difference between winning and losing. Reddit user ‘ThatGuyDes,’ who is a regular contributor to the Apex University subreddit, has posted five tips that can help you “take advantage of Apex’s unique movement mechanics,” which should, in turn, help you get better results overall. Reloading in a gunfight With how intense and wild gunfights can get in Apex Legends, you almost always find yourself having to reload while still very much in the thick of things against the enemy team. One good advice here is, when you are going to reload, make sure to crouch and turn your body, because that reduces the size of your hitbox and makes it harder for the opposition to track you. Always keep moving As mentioned above, this game’s mechanics allow players a lot of flexibility in movement, and you should look to take advantage of that every second of the match. Always stay on the move, combining mechanics like crouching and strafing, to keep yourself safe from anyone that may have their crosshairs on you from a distance. This applies to pretty much all situations – whether you’re moving from one fight to the next, looting, or applying healing items. Never stay still during gunfights This is more of a specific extension of the previous point, but staying mobile during gunfights can make a huge difference between whether or not you come out of it alive. Constantly shifting from one angle to another, from one position to the next, keeps you unpredictable and slowly but surely moves the advantage in your favor since your opponents will begin worrying about from where you’ll shoot at them next. This is especially important if you’re using Legends that have some sort of movement-related ability, like Pathfinder’s grapple, Octane’s jump pad or Wraith’s portal. If you have those kinds of tools at your disposal, you might as well use them. Bind crouch to right stick on controller This one’s obviously only for controller players, so if you’re on keyboard and mouse, you can skip this one. ThatGuyDes recommends binding the crouch button to your right stick (RS on Xbox One, R3 on PS4), claiming that it’ll upgrade your movement once you get used to it. “It’s going to feel awkward at first, but once you get good at it, you’ll wonder how you ever played without it,” the Apex tips guru wrote. Mix up your crouch strafing Since we’re on the topic of crouching, it’s important not to get into the habit of simply spamming crouch and strafe during gunfights, because that can make you too predictable. Teach yourself to use a variety of timings, angles, and directions when combining the two mechanics so to keep your enemies on the back foot during engagements. Add ‘climb peeks’ to your arsenal As most know, peeking in FPS games refers to the act of getting an angle from your place of cover in order to watch an angle and maybe even shoot at any enemies that may be around. While the most common way of peeking is around edges of walls/structures, it’s also recommended that you use climb peeks, which involves climbing onto something in order to view over it. Most players will be ready for you to peer at them from around edges and corners, so you can really catch the opposition off guard with this gung-ho movement. However, the Redditor did warn not to use climb peeking too much in situations where there might be too many enemies around: “You have to be very careful when climb peeking against multiple enemies. In certain situations, climbing can give all your enemies a line of sight on you.” Slide, slide, slide Sliding is something most Apex Legends players do plenty of, but it can be especially helpful if you’re trying to blaze through the map. One good trick is to always jump right after each slide, which helps maintain your forward momentum. This really comes in handy whenever you’re sliding down a slope; try jumping during that slide to help keep your top speed and also avoid any obstacles instead of having to stop and go around them manually. Furthermore, whenever you’re jumping down from any significant height, look for any slanted surfaces, structures, or objects that you can slide on so that once you land, you won’t have to deal with that brief but annoying second of being stand-still as your character’s body recovers. That wraps up this list of tips and tricks to help improve your movement in Apex Legends. Remember, Firing Range is the perfect place to practice all of the game’s unique movement mechanics and teach yourself to make them second nature. With enough training, you can add these to your muscle memory so won’t even have to think about it when playing, allowing you to focus on shutting down enemies and winning matches.

Best Apex Legends loot zones in World’s Edge Season 7 Respawn EntertainmentWith World’s Edge back in rotation for Season 7, you’re bound to need a refresh. Here are the five best loot zones in World’s Edge to make sure you’re crowned the Apex champion, including the whacky Mirage Voyage, the hot-spot Refinery, and more! Get guns. Then loot. Then kills. Claim the title of Champion of the Arena. That’s the objective in every Apex match, but the first two steps aren’t always easy. Luckily, we’ve charted out some of the best places to find top-tier loot. Here are the best paths to take in World’s Edge if you want to make sure you’ve got the strongest — and enough — guns and gear for the battle ahead: Sniper Ridge to Drill Site or Skyhook Land — The Sniper Ridge – Then — Skyhook outskirts – Finish — Drill Site – Naming one of the most loot-filled locations in the game as a good loot zone might be a bit of a no-brainer, but it’s about how you approach the ever-present battle in Skyhook that is key in Season 7 — by landing on Sniper’s Ridge first. The lofty sniper tower boasts five loot bins, including two in the upper reaches of the ridge which have guaranteed long-ranged options. Here you can often find Triple Takes, Longbows, and Sentinels, as well as scopes and attachments. Now you’ve got some guns, move down to the twin buildings on Skyhook’s outskirts. As well as loot bins on top of each roof, there are three levels chock full of ammo, armor, and weapons to get you ready for the final push — Skyhook itself. The best option here, especially if the circle is on the southern side of the map, is to head on to Drill Site. There’s only mid-tier loot here, but if you can catch unsuspecting opponents, you can scoop more loot with ease. To leave, mount Drill Site’s Jump Tower and soar across the middle of World’s Edge. Once you’re in the skies, you can jet towards Train Yard, Lava Fissure, or Fragment West, armed with the best long-range weapons and a ton of loot. There is one other option to add to this loot path, but it’s risky. Instead of racing over the hill and into Drill Site, you can join the big Skyhook battle. There are 26 loot bins around, so it could be well worth your time — if you can stay alive. Refinery to The Epicenter Land — Refinery – Then — Survey Camp – Finish — The Epicenter – Away from the western side of the map, where our first two loot zones were, lies the Refinery. A popular drop spot, the north-east mega-building has more than two dozen supply bins, and a host of shacks outside — a perfect place to start. Land on the roof of Refinery, and grab some weapons from inside. After a quick trip out the back to the two major smokestacks, where there’s always plenty of ammo and loot on the floor, swing around to the north to the buildings. Loot these buildings, and then put the pace on to make Survey Camp early. There are racks of guaranteed guns that arrived in the Season 4 update here too, so make sure you check in there before heading on to the last zone. As well as your guns, armor, and hopefully a few rare bits of loot so far, you’ll have to bring a coat too — you’ll be heading into The Epicenter as your final destination in this loot path, with the aim to grab everything left over. There’s every chance this would have been looted already, but there’s more than enough to go around. As well as multiple guns on the platforms and in the small dome room. The hills are also alive with supply bins and gear. Read more: Easy Apex Legends input delay fix for Steam – Load up. From The Epicenter, you’ll be either heading into Fragment East and West — home of the deadliest gunfights in World’s Edge — or over the gap to The Train Yard, another favorite of Apex players everywhere. Good luck! The Geyser to Sorting Factory Land — The Geyser – Then — The Ridge – Finish — Sorting Factory – This walled-off area is probably one of the safest places to drop in Apex Legends. Barely any players aim for the back of the area, there’s plenty of cover in the five big buildings, and there are four exit routes if everything goes south. Land at the back of the Geyser to start your path. Here there are three bins and a three-room building, the center of which often boasts epic loot. Clear the whole area out — the two long halls, as well as the patches of bins — and move on. Heading around the corner of the hill, you’ll arrive at The Ridge. There’s a building giving you cover from Sorting Factory for now. Loot that, and the four extra rooms off to the right, and then head into the major Factory location. Here is where you’ll do the majority of your fighting. The World’s Edge’s circle often closes to here, and there are acres of loot too. A whopping 45 bins — the second biggest in World’s Edge after Thermal Station — also wait to be opened here. The key is to stay indoors. Sometimes the train arrives here too, with its guaranteed epic and legendary gear, and you can ambush players riding the map-wide track. Mainly, however, you just want to claim the centerpiece high ground. Overlook to Fragment East & West Land — Outlook – Then — Fragment East – Finish — Fragment West – Overlook is another safe landing spot, but this path takes you right into the action when you battle your way into the remnants of Capitol City. At the start though, make sure you land at the back of the east-most area to get started. This area has a hefty 19 bins to take advantage of, as well as a smattering of loot around the ground as well. Make sure you pick the viewing platform clean. Then work your way inland to the buildings above the Underpass. Here, there is a load of unmarked bins, as well as four buildings bursting with loot. You’ll need as much as you can get, considering your next destination — Fragment East — is going to be a little more action-packed. Once you’re fully kitted out, you’re going to the wreckage of Capitol City. There are 32 bins in here to loot, as well as more than 10 buildings of various sizes. There even used to be a fridge so powerful it could protect from death. Forget the glitched fridge though, because this will be your final battleground. With plenty of space to move and exit in every direction, pick a spot. As enemies roll in, you’ll be able to rack up kills, and maybe even a well-earned win too. And there you have it — five of the best World’s Edge’s loot zones to traverse on your quest to becoming a Champion of the Arena in Apex Legends. You know where to look to find loot now, but if you’re not so sure what to take every time you crack open a bin, we’ve got you covered too: give our Ultimate Weapon Tier List for Season 7 a read, and you’ll be good to go.

5 best places to land on Apex Legends Season 3 World’s Edge map The launch of Season 3: Meltdown in Apex Legends introduced a brand new map called World’s Edge, and we’ve determined the top five locations that are the best to land at off the rip. There are 15 named locations on the new World’s Edge map, each offering their own pros and cons to those who decide to land there on the initial drop-down. Choosing a point-of-interest when a match starts can play a big role in determining how the rest of your game will go, which is why most top players have a strategy for those initial phases. For example, landing at a POI that’s very popular means you’re bound to engage in a gunfight very early, so unless you have good weapons and items straight off, you could be facing an very early elimination. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of the top five landing locations on the new Apex Legends map, as well as brief descriptions for why each POI is included in the list. The Epicenter Located in the top right quadrant of the map, The Epicenter is located inland enough where getting to the first initial ring shouldn’t take too much traveling, even if it’s an the opposite quadrant. This location is relatively small and has enough Supply Bins (15) and floor loot to get you situated pretty well, especially since it mostly has high tier loot, and it’s not as popular of a landing spot as some nearby locations, so you won’t always have to be concerned about getting shot at immediately. However, the adjacent Capitol City location is a very popular POI, so landing at The Epicenter puts you in good position to maybe third-party some of those gunfights going on nearby. Refinery Located even further northeast than The Epicenter, Refinery is the ideal location for those looking to get a good amount of loot without taking too long scavenging. It’s a relatively small POI but has 25 Supply Bins, on top of a decent amount of floor loot, so your entire team can quickly fill out your inventories with everything that you need. Read More: Best Legends to use in Apex Legends Season 3 – Much like The Epicenter, it too is not a very popular landing spot at the moment, but more and more people are starting to realize how valuable of a location it is, so don’t let your guard down if you land there. It’s only drawback, if you can even call it that, is that it might be far away from certain initial rings that start at the lower left quadrant of the map, but even then it’s inland enough where traveling from there wouldn’t be too much of an issue. Overlook Overlook is the third straight location in this list that’s located in the top right quadrant of the map, and for good reason. Now, there are really two different areas to Overlook – the coastal structure hanging over the cliff and the town that lies just adjacent to it towards the north. The coastal structure, like Refinery, is a relatively small location, which means it doesn’t take too long to scavenge through, and it’s also much more out of the way than the other half, making it a much calmer and less stressful drop. Read More: Apex glitch lets you play in 3rd person – The town is definitely more of a hot drop, so if you choose to land there, try to loot as quickly as possible and get ready for a gunfight. But either way, both sides are good when it comes to loot, as there are an overall 19 Supply Bins and a good amount of high-tier floor loot that should serve well for some early-game inventory stacking. The Train Yard The Train Yard is one of the more central locations on the map, but the cliffs located on its eastern and southern boundaries give it some nice protection from the other, more popular central POIs. The Train Yard really has all of the hallmarks of being a good spot to land: It’s not large but still has 26 Supply Bins, a good amount of floor loot, and relatively high-tier loot, making it ideal for stacking your inventory quickly and early. – It’s central, so getting to the first ring will never be a major issue, but it’s also not as popular as the other central locations, so you won’t always have to be looking over your shoulder. – It’s adjacent to other good locations. If the first ring placement allows it, you can travel to Lava Fissure, which also has good loot, and then all the way up to the secret Sniper’s Ridge, from where you can snipe down at unsuspecting enemy teams that are in Skyhook. – Lava City Lava City is most likely the best location to land at if you’re aiming for the lower right quadrant of the map. Its popularity is relatively low, so you won’t have to fear the risk of fighting anyone off the rip for the most part, and it’s not a large location by any means, so looting through it won’t take much time at all. While it has the potential to give out high-tier loot, it also sometimes proves to be a dud when it comes to the quality of weapons and items, which is its only real negative, but its other pros definitely trump that. Lying adjacent to it is Sorting Factory, one of the most popular and loot-heavy POIs on the map, so starting at Lava City allows you to not only avoid that mess, but to quickly loot up and then starting picking off hurt stragglers leaving the location and stealing their loot.

5 features Apex Legends needs in Season 5 Respawn Entertainment has a big job on their hands with Apex Legends Season 5, especially if they’re looking to top the game’s last major update, and there are five main things many players will be expecting to see. In Season 4, we were introduced to new ways of playing the Apex Games, with weapons given different types of ammo and – of course – the arrival of a brand new legend, Revenant. Since that time, the rumor mill has been turning pretty fast as we approach the next in-game shakeup, with multiple leaks potentially uncovering future characters, content that could be coming soon and much more. However, amongst all of that information is a quintet of ideas that we are very much hoping are added in Season 5, so let’s run through them. 5 things Apex Legends Season 5 should include Cross play In the four long seasons that have taken place in Apex Legends, we have seen everything from flyers and Leviathans arrive in Kings Canyon, to a brand new map called World’s Edge with everything in between. But it’s astonishing that still, after so much time, Respawn are still yet to offer the chance for players – no matter their platform – to connect online. Cross play would be one of the most popular additional features to the game and has been adopted by several other battle royale game franchises, including Fortnite and PUBG, so why not for Apex Legends as well? Loba/Rosie The roster of Legends is an ever-growing beast in Apex, with one new face appearing at each phase of the game’s development. Now, there have been several potential candidates emerge for the Season 5 slot, aside from Forge, who was seemingly eliminated by Revenant to kick off S4. Based on leaks and rumors, the likes of Nomad, Immortal, Blisk, Rampart, Jericho and more are in the works, although it’s unclear which of these will emerge. A whole bunch of these have even had specific details, such as there abilities leaked, which would suggest they are quite some way into their development as fully-fledged characters of the game. None have appeared just yet, though. However, there’s no leaked legend that would be more fitting than Loba, really. The character, also known as Rosie, has potentially been teased in several ways in the past, including a sighting of a wolf at Harvester back in February (below). This wolf may be a link between a young girl spotted in Revenant’s Season 4 first-look trailer, with players theorizing that the young girl may appear as Loba or Rosie in-game to seek revenge on Revenant at some stage. After all, she was carrying a wolf figurine in the official video. Since then, leaker iLootGames has revealed what might be our first-look at the next legend to be added, revealing a video on Twitter. Our first look at loba pic.twitter.com/b5tavNDmp1 — iLootGames – ApexRanked.com (@iLootGames) April 7, 2020 The connection between the young girl and the next addition to Apex Legends might not necessarily be accurate, but one thing is for sure: wolf-themed Legend or not, Loba would be a fantastic addition to the Apex Games. New Apex Legends Season 5 map Kings Canyon lasted two seasons and so too has World’s Edge – thus far. Now, if that’s a strategy or format that developers intend to stick with in the battle royale game, we could see another part of the world emerge as a new arena very soon. The current map was a bolt out of the blue where aesthetics are concerned, located on the planet of Talos. That said, Kings Canyon was on planet Solace, so if there is to be a fresh map design coming in Season 5, there’s also a very good chance players will be introduced to another planet from the world, too. There are a number of other planets known to be part of the Apex solar system, some of which can be found below. A few were included in the great Frontier War, so there is also the possibility of bringing conflict back to a place that’s been battered by war over time, as other were completely destroyed – such as Typhon and Demeter. It would also be interesting to take over Leviathan, just like the Leviathans did in Kings Canyon back in the day. Where could the next Apex Legends map be located? Gridiron – Harmony – Leviathan – Troy – PVE mode Battling other legends is all well and good, but what about fighting against the environment itself – potentially on a new map! The idea of a PVE (Player v Environment) mode isn’t just something that’s come up out of thin air, as it has been leaked on numerous occasions by data miners. Back in September 2019, for example, evidence in the game’s data files suggested a whole host of in-game enemies would soon wreak havoc in the Apex Games – but it never materalized. Not only that, however, but a whole host of in-game challenges also looked set to be added to the game alongside these monsters. That, too, never came to fruition. According to That1MiningGuy, who was previously an accurate leaker but has since quit social media, the following would eventually make their way into the game: Grunt Shield Captain – Spectre – Reaper – Special Force’s Sniper – Blisk’s Titan – Target Titan – Prowler – Alpha Prowler – Goliath – Stalker – Crimson Elite – Swamp Spider – Infected Spider – With the beginning of Season 5 very much on the horizon, there is a real opportunity for Respawn to completely change the way we play Apex Legends and fending off NPC characters could be a really creative way of doing just that. The layers of strategy, different ways to defeat each beast, would also make things challenging – or, simply adding NPC threats to the normal battle royale format and have players battle against both forms of enemy. The options are endless, but hopefully S5 will bring an end to the wait. Making lore playable One thing that no other battle royale game has done is the development of characters, in the way Apex has. Each has unique sets of abilities, personality traits, not to mention huge followings as well. With the thirst for lore material and backstory clearly evident, it would make sense to bring epic trailers like that of Revenant and Wattson to life. Allow the players to be the one who gets the chance to feel what it’s like to be these characters in different points in time, and produce it as either an optional single-player playlist or as downloadable content that people can buy. Imagine having this trailer as a cutscene, for example. If the next Legend does turn out to be Lob/Rosie, there will be a significant amount of interest in her background, what led her into battle, and more things of that nature. On the other hand, those who main – for example – Pathfinder, for argument sake, might also want to play single-player missions and learn more about their in-game fighter. This would present another money stream for developers, as members of the community could purchase packs of missions in a Telltale style system, and then present other opportunities for them to drop hints and cryptic clues players can find. After all, the more we know about the characters, the more we’re invested. It seems like a no-brainer. So, there you have it! Those are the five things we would like Respawn Entertainment to deliver as part of Apex Legends Season 5. What would you like to see added next? Let us know on Twitter @TitanfallBlog.

5 Apex Legends cosplays that blew us away this Halloween Halloween has come and gone, but many Apex Legends players took it as a great opportunity to dress up as their favorite characters from the game. Apex Legends features a robust cast of characters that all have loads of detail, which makes them perfect for Halloween. What makes Halloween special is it gives both children and adults a chance to dress up as a character, so we’re able to get a nice middle ground between high-end cosplays and simpler costumes. We’ve seen our fair share of phenomenal cosplays, but now we have to give the kids dressing up for Halloween a chance to get their designs shown. There are many different characters from the ever-growing roster to choose from, and so many players who tried their hand at a costume that we found it difficult to narrow it down to just five. Read more: Duos mode finally confirmed for Apex Legends – We did our best and here’s a look a five of the best Apex Legends costumes and cosplays from this Halloween. In no particular order, here’s the list. Apex Legends door Most requested feature – door kick. Caustic @VinceZampella obliges https://t.co/uF2kmw8cPt pic.twitter.com/uQoi8qcj1F — Jason McCord (@MonsterclipRSPN) October 31, 2019 A Respawn dev made the decision to dress up as a door from the game. It may seem like a pretty odd decision, but then you realize it opens up a world of opportunities for people to kick you open. Obviously, this is in reference to players have the ability to kick down doors in Apex and we can confirm no doors were harmed in the making of this picture. Mirage and Lifeline Hey @Respawn, where are your car soccer costumes? pic.twitter.com/yYrYZ4uN8F — Psyonix (@PsyonixStudios) October 31, 2019 This next entry is actually two employees from Psyonix, the developer of Rocket League. Mirage and Lifeline are always two popular picks to dress up as but we’re still impressed every time we see it done. Read more: Ultimate Legends tier list for Season 3 – The Psyonix team actually dressed up as several different characters outside of Apex Legends so take a look through their Twitter if you want to see more. Mirage Yeah, we just included a Mirage but this one makes the list because of how it was built using a bunch of household items, instead of being a professionally made outfit. The user explains how they were able to make this costume for their son using old belts and buckles, an old shirt, sharpies, and other things of that nature. Wraith Wraith is easily one of the most popular picks in Apex Legends and as a result, that makes her one of the most popular characters to dress up as. This costume is set apart due to the excellent lighting that gives it a shroud of mystery, along with the phasing apparatus on her left hand. Wattson HAPPY HALLOWEEN MUFFINS Tonight we are cyber security Wattson and we’re going to be playing some @PlayApex tonight! :ghost::jack_o_lantern: Come come https://t.co/j5Ck7JRrXo pic.twitter.com/5haMSfO8Sa — GlitterXBOOsion :ghost: (@GlitterXplosion) November 1, 2019 GlitterXplosion is dressed as the Cyber Security Wattson skin, something that people won’t usually associate with the character at first glance, but she absolutely crushes it here. Most players will pick the basic skin to dress up as for cosplay, so it’s nice to see some variety from time to time. These are our five picks for the best Apex Legends Halloween costumes, but we’re sure there are many, many more out there.

5 Apex Legends movement tricks that will help you improve An Apex Legends player has put together a list of useful tricks to improve your movement in the game. Movement is a major part of success in Apex Legends. While there’s no substitute for good aim in a fire-fight, getting the most out of your movement can give you the extra edge you need when you’re outnumbered or outgunned. Beyond the basics, there are a number of little tricks and tactics that can be used for an advantage in particular situations. Apex player u/quarkez has put together a short explanation of how each is pulled off. Wall jumping This trick allows you to bounce off of walls for a burst of speed and a sudden change of direction, perfect for remaining evasive under fire. In order to get it right, focus on the timing and remember to let go of w/forward. Bunny hopping By utilizing a “bunny hopping” technique of constant jumping after a slide forward for momentum, it’s possible to heal or shield while keeping your movement speed fast. This is ideal if you’re trying to escape on low health, as the back-and-forth movement also keeps you evasive. Avoid fall stun Normally, a long fall results in a short “stun”, during which your movement speed is reduced and you can’t take action. This can be cancelled for a more fluid transition. Reverse slide It’s possible to do a quick slide backwards, allowing you to escape quickly while still keeping an eye on any pursuing enemies. This technique can also be used in conjunction with bunny-hopping to heal up while staying fast and watching behind you. Pathfinder catapult Pathfinder already has some creative movement options with his grapple, but if you time a jump right you can use it to launch yourself much further forward. This technique also doesn’t require a high wall to swing from in order to get the boost. Exactly how these tricks are executed can be seen in the helpful video by u/quarkez: Apex Legends has proven immensely popular since its launch on February 4, with more than 25 million players picking up the game in a little over a week. If you’re looking to keep ahead of the masses, it’s worth building a repertoire of tricks like these to pull out when the situation demands it.

3 must-know tricks with Rampart’s amped cover in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentEvery Apex Legends player has their own way to use their favorite character but when it comes to Rampart there are a few tips that everyone should keep in their back pocket. With Rampart finally joining the Apex Legends roster of characters at the start of Season 6, fans of the battle royale have quickly been trying to get to grips with her and her abilities. Players have been trying to figure out who she is best paired with when it comes to duos and trios, where its best to lay down her minigun – Sheila, and how best to use her amped deployable cover. While some players have figured things out a little quicker than others, there are a few tips every Rampart main needs to know about her wall – especially as it can really be a key part of a winning strategy. Rampart’s wall can keep enemies pinned down Even though the amped wall is mainly about giving you a boost while attacking enemies, it can be used in ways to keep enemies trapped – at least temporarily. That’s right, you can deploy the wall in front of doors to keep enemies trapped on the other side. Obviously, there are some situations where enemies can simply find another exit but you can severely limit their options with the wall. However, it’s not a completely foolproof strategy. If it’s placed directly behind a door, enemies can break the wall by kicking down the door, as shown by u/skbtwiz. You can climb higher with Rampart’s cover On top of being able to lock enemies behind doors with the deployable cover, you can also use it to give yourself a boost when it comes to climbing walls. Yes, if you place the amped wall down and then hop on top, you can start scaling walls that are usually pretty hard to climb. The movement skills needed to get everything lined up might take a second to master, so, you will have to watch your back. Tip at 6:50 Best weapons to use with Rampart’s amped wall As already noted, the amped wall also gives a boost to weapons that are being used behind it, but what receives the biggest buff from the wall? Well, according to data collected by an Apex Legends Redditor, the Kraber and Peacekeeper skyrocket in damage but if you can’t get your hands on them, the Mastiff and Charge Rifle also get pretty handy boosts from the wall. As the season unfolds, Rampart could, of course, receive a nerf or two if Respawn deems her to be a tad overpowered so these stats could change. For now, though, she is quickly emerging as one of the best legends to use in your bid to be crowned an Apex Champion.

3 new maps that could be added to Apex Legends Respawn’s newly released battle royale title Apex Legends is set in the Titanfall universe, and its singular map currently incorporates a number of diverse environments from desert to urban – but there is still potential for new maps in the future. The current arena is called ‘King’s Canyon’, an expansive environment that feels part-desert, part-jungle and part-urban, with different ecosystems throughout. Previous games set in the Titanfall universe (entries one and two) featured multiple maps for multiplayer – but these games were not battle royale experiences. Still, Respawn will know that to keep players’ interest in a battle royale game, it constantly needs new content, best exemplified by rival game, Fortnite. Although Fortnite hasn’t added any new maps, it has constantly evolved the existing one, adding new locations and weather changes. Here’s three map ideas we would love to see introduced into Apex Legends. Angel City (Urban environment) Fans of the original Titanfall will remember this classic map, which was likely the first that many played given it was playable in the beta. It was also remastered in Titanfall 2, thanks to its popularity. A more urban environment could definitely switch up the feel of Apex Legends, but Respawn would need to ensure it didn’t feel too cramped. Snow Map Another obvious addition would be a snowy/wintery styled map, which has actually never been seen in the Titanfall games previously. Both Fortnite and PUBG have added snowy maps (Fortnite covered the base map completely in snow for Winter 2018), with Vikendi a big hit with PUBG players. Perhaps Respawn would wait until the Winter months to add this kind of environment though, just to be current. A Titan map The most glaring absence in Apex Legends, especially since it’s set in the Titanfall universe – is the lack of Titans. Having played King’s Canyon, it was definitely the right decision – Titans might have ruined the flow of this dense landscape. But, there is nothing stopping Respawn from adding a map specifically designed for Titans to be used. Perhaps every player would be a Titan, or they could be found and used for a limited time – but we trust that Respawn know how to make Titan’s work in a multiplayer shooter, they’ve done it twice before after all. There’s so much that Respawn can do outside of new maps too, to keep the game fresh and interesting. They already laid out their year long plan, and Dr Disrespect thinks a ranked mode would be another way to set themselves apart in the BR genre. Respawn have already taken much of their Titanfall art design and ideas and brought it into Apex Legends, including the Bloodhound character, which was originally a concept design for the original Titanfall. For now, the developers are working to make sure everything is stable and balanced, and may look to add new modes like solo and duo, before making big additions like new maps – but it’s something to look forward to.

3D Printed Apex Legends Loot Tick could bring you legendary luck An avid member of the Apex Legends community has taken the time to realize a full-scale replica of the wondrous Loot Ticks found throughout the popular Battle Royale title. Many Apex Legends fans often focus their real-world creations on authentic cosplays to express their passion for the world Respawn built. It can serve as a means in which to share their enthusiasm with others in the community. Rather than designing a favorite weapon or outfitting themselves as one of the many whimsical characters from the game, however, one Apex fan has brought a functioning Loot Tick to life and the end result is astounding. Loot Ticks often spark joy when discovered in the midst of a looting frenzy. Capable of providing all manner of weapons and armor from Common to Legendary, these minuscule robots can often be enough to give you and your squad the upper hand in any given match. Translating that sense of wonder into the real world, Reddit user ‘deadPoolioTheAmazing’ stunningly recreated the in-game Loot Tick in terms of both look and function. 3D Printing the entire build, the small robot rests on four legs while the head of the figure is able to rotate and illuminate areas thanks to internal LED’s. Rotating at a similar frequency to that of the Loot Tick’s in-game, this crafty build could make for a great companion in a cosplay photoshoot or even stand as a neat little ornament when switched off. The conveniently sized creation doesn’t take up a heap of space and all of the functions of the machine are processed internally, meaning that it can operate without being plugged into a nearby source of power. “All the electronics are inside, there are no wires out,” the creator explained, outlining how all of the functions of the Loot Tick are intricately stored within the hollowed ‘head’ of the rotating robot. There’s no telling quite how long the process took from start to finish, but it’s clear that a great deal of effort went into bringing this authentic creation to life. Despite players being tempted to break the build and discover what goodies may rest inside, this may be the only time we’d advise against opening a Loot Tick.

4 features Apex Legends Season 4 desperately needs EAWith Apex Legends Season 4 just around the corner, here are four features that Respawn Entertainment could potentially incorporate to take the Apex Games to new heights. Given that Apex Legends has transcended the limits of the battle royale genre, there is little that Respawn haven’t thought of for their flagship title. Season 4 is set to push the boundaries of the Apex Games yet again, as Assimilation taps into the Titanfall universe’s lore through Revenant’s storyline. On a gameplay front, however, little has been scheduled to shake up the current meta — aside from the return of Kings Canyon in March 2020. So here are four key features that Respawn should incorporate (according to your votes) which would improve player experience tenfold during Season 4. 4. Replays and killcams (10%) Being able to tap into your post-match footage is a handy tool to have, for both casual and competitive players alike. Ever wondered how a team countered what you thought was perfect positioning? Or perhaps your squad posted some impressive numbers and wanted to learn from the good plays for next time… Currently, Apex Legends does not offer a replay mode to do so. While on the other side of the fence, Epic Games’ embedded the replay facility into Fortnite in 2018 — which directly supports players looking to learn from their mistakes. With the $3 million Apex Legends Global Series underway, the ability for squads to study their opponents before and after a match would be extremely beneficial, considering the stakes on the line. Traditionally, killcams are difficult to integrate into a battle royale, regardless of the pleas on the Apex Legends subreddit. Since a player could report back to their teammates with an exact location from where they were killed, it could cause issues with fairness. However, other battle royale’s like PUBG and Blackout utilize post-death killcams, and simply force players to spectate their teammates until the whole squad is wiped out. Adding this to Apex would be a welcome addition, and might even help reduce the number of mid-game drop-outs. 3. PVE ‘Titan’ mode (12%) Imagine this. You land into World’s Edge with your squad only to get the worst roll of the dice and find yourself eliminated before the game has even properly started. How frustrating! Some players prefer to just kick-back and enjoy shooting things… and Apex Legends’ epic movement system (alongside the plethora of weapon choices) makes that all the more addicting. Of course, PvE (player-vs-environment) modes aren’t exactly a staple of the battle royale genre. Yet Fortnite’s ‘Save the World’ survival mode is a big hit. Given that the Apex Games has deep-rooted ties into the Titanfall universe, there is plenty of scope for detailed storylines to bridge the gap between Apex Legends and Titanfall. Pathfinder’s Grand Soirée event closed with ‘Dummie’s Big Day.’ While it provided endless fun for players, it seemed like a blank canvas for which a well-designed PvE mode could be painted onto. Imagine everything that the PvE mode provided, but with a gripping narrative that plays on Titanfall lore — where Titans could be used to help take down Leviathans and Flyers, or perhaps even a Prowler? While there is nothing set in stone for a future PvE mode, the abundance of hidden treasures (such as the easter egg that was discovered on Firing Range) and ability to tie-in more lore certainly provide a solid rationale to implement it. Leaks have also pointed towards a Titan-based PvE mode being in the pipeline, with objectives, enemies and more details surfacing from the in-game files. 2. Cross-platform play (32%) Apex Legends has been toing and froing with Fortnite since its release. Where Respawn’s title is built on an arguably superior movement system, Epic Games’ battle royale utilizes a well-balanced approach complemented by third-person action which revolves largely around building. However, one element that undoubtedly sets Fortnite apart from the rest of the crowd is its cross-play integration. Given that Apex Legends is built on Respawn’s acclaimed first-person shooter mechanics, it’d be difficult to simply adopt the cross-platform framework while maintaining balance among each respective platform. PC players would have an advantage in the accuracy and utility department, while aim assist is a constant complaint about console players in cross-play lobbies. Despite the clear balancing issues, Respawn’s Lead Developer, Drew McColl, has previously stated that: “Cross-play is something we really care about and are looking into,” in an interview with WIRED. “We know that people have friends on all sorts of platforms and that you really want to go to the arena and get some wins together, so stay tuned.” McColl explained. Does this mean that cross-platform play is coming soon? Not quite, but EA have since announced their plans to publish a mobile version of the popular battle royale. This would provide the perfect opportunity for a ‘soft launch’ of a cross-play system, where players could log into Origin via their EA account to transfer progress between platforms. Now that Apex Legends has built a big enough playerbase, Season 4 seems like the perfect time to flick on the switch for cross-play. What better way to celebrate the game’s one-year anniversary? 1. Permanent solos & duos modes (46%) Solos and duos modes have both made fleeting appearances in Apex Legends thus far. Solos made its debut during the Iron Crown Collection event, albeit only for two weeks. Given the intense, one-versus-one gunfights that were at the core of the mode, players flooded the servers to try their hand at an experience which tailored more towards Respawn’s player-versus-player roots from Titanfall… more on that later. After a mixed bag of reviews, Respawn has since elected to steer more towards duos as its go-to LTM of choice. Duos first premiered in November 2019, and as anticipated, was a big hit with the Apex Legends community. Given its popularity, the game mode made an emphatic comeback with a legendary weapon-tier twist — and players lapped it up, even if it was only for two days. After testing the waters with limited-time events, it is clear that both game modes are favored by players. So, the fans have spoken and now the ball is in Respawn’s court to listen to their loyal community and add both game modes as a permanent playlist for Legends to drop into. You’ve had your say, Legend! Over 32,000 votes later and we have a clear winner. While all four features deserve their rightful place in Season 4, a permanent solos and duos mode is the most sought-after feature for Assimilation. A Respawn developer has teased: “I think we are doing things the community will be hyped about during this season,” so who knows, perhaps a dedicated solos and duos mode is just around the corner? What feature do you want to see the most in #ApexLegends Season 4? Find out more: https://t.co/DbLtDsZc0T — Apex Legends News (@alphaINTEL) February 3, 2020 While the aforementioned features aren’t essential for Season 4 to be a success, they would certainly steer the game forward from a gameplay standpoint. Be sure to keep tabs on our Apex Legends section as we break the latest news on Season 4 as it unfolds.

4-year-old Apex Legends player embarrasses opponent with execution A proud father took the opportunity to show off an Apex Legends highlight that came from his four-year-old son, who showed off equal parts patience and ruthlessness on the World’s Edge train. As competitive gaming and esports continues to grow heading into the new decade, it becomes more and more viable to get the kids started early on a pro gaming career. One dad from Poland is already got a future legend in his household, who’s fragging enemies and making highlights before they’ve even gotten to kindergarten. Reddit user sleepek showed off his four and a half-year-old son’s latest “hilarious but kinda brutal” elimination, as they surprised a Crypto player just trying to heal themselves inside of a train car. The son of sleepek watched from above as two teams fought each other near the door of a stationary train car, and picked his moment perfectly as leapt down and entered the train behind them. The Crypto player was caught completely off guard as he lowered his weapon and began injecting himself with a medical syringe, allowing sleepek’s son to drop him with three up-close shots of the P2020 to the head. For the young player, his skills appear to be growing rapidly, as just days prior his father posted a clip of the boy’s very first kill ever, in which he downs an opponent with the Triple Take just before succumbing to a grenade. According to the dad, the four-year-old plays on console, and he’s not concerned about his young son playing a “violent” video game. Some members of the community commented on the title of the father’s original post, which says the son “thinks it is a great feeling to kill another player,” and he responded. “There are some clear double standards here but I don’t really care,” he wrote. “I mean how hilarious it is to be killed by such a small boy in such a fast-paced game. I don’t need any of your parenting advice cause I know what is best for him and I know that I don’t do any harm.” While Apex Legends does fall under the shooter genre, it is significantly less violent and bloody than some other games in the same genre. Most of the “violence” is very cartoonish, and the “great feeling” that the dad describes is the rush of dopamine that comes from succeeding in any video game. Unfortunately for the young player, he will have to wait a while until he can begin his competitive career. The upcoming Apex Global Series requires competitors to be at least sixteen, so we should mark our calendars for 2032 for when we see his professional debut.

100 Thieves’ NiceWigg issues apology after ALGS Pro League drama Twitter: NiceWigg / EAAfter finding himself in the center of a heated dispute about ALGS Pro League eligibility, Apex Legends streamer and 100 Thieves creator NiceWigg issued an apology for his part in the virtual scuffle. The ALGS (Apex Legends Global Series), Apex Legends’ professional circuit, returned for its second year of competition with a new name, format, and various other changes to their 2021 rulebook. Plenty of new teams have stepped up to compete in the Pro League during its second year, like content creators Jack ‘NiceWigg’ Martin, Anthony ‘Apryze’ Andrade, and Timmy ‘iiTzTimmy’ An, who joined forces to compete. While the trio got off to a hot start, they later decided to put a pause on their ALGS competition. Then, after battling to reclaim their spot in the Pro League, NiceWigg found himself in the center of a heated debate around the team’s eligibility for which he later apologized. On December 4, NiceWigg found himself in the center of a debate around his team’s eligibility to return and compete in the ALGS after their absence. Martin originally claimed that his team had been suspended, but Chris Pipher, Senior Manager of ALGS Operations at EA, reached out to clarify the situation: “You weren’t suspended. Your team was disbanded, just like every other team that has skipped a match in the Pro League.” You weren’t suspended. Your team was disbanded, just like every other team that has skipped a match in the Pro League. After your team was removed, you and your teammates were still eligible to join other teams until the rosters locked for the Split on Dec 1st. — Chris Pipher (@chris_pipher) December 4, 2021 After Pipher’s clarification, NiceWigg shared apologies on both Twitter and the Competitive Apex Legends subreddit. “I should have looked up the rules and knew more about them,” he shared in his Reddit post. “I will take the blame for false claims in my tweets. I felt the rules were unfair and wanted to shed light on that, but I was wrong.” Martin also explained how difficult the decision to step back from the ALGS Pro League has been for him: “It really killed me to miss the ALGS, but family comes first.” “It’s all love on my end and I just want to move forward,” his statement ended. “I will continue to take accountability when I f**k up.” I love the Apex community and the game as a whole. I always want what’s best for players, streamers, and pros. I vented to the wrong people today and in the wrong way. I totally get the negative feedback. I’ll work to be better daily. Sorry if I disappointed anyone love you. — 100T NiceWigg (@NiceWigg) December 5, 2021 NiceWigg’s apologies received plenty of support from the community. “I have a ton of respect for someone who can realize they were in the wrong, own up to it, and move forward,” one player on the comp subreddit replied. On Twitter, fellow content creator Jordan Fisher (who frequently partners up with NiceWigg to play Apex), shared his support as well. Martin, who joined esports org 100 Thieves earlier this year as their first dedicated Apex Legends creator, seems to still have a strong desire to continue competing in the ALGS Pro League — and fans shouldn’t be surprised to see him return in the future.

100 Thieves sign NiceWigg as first Apex Legends content creator Twitter: 100 Thieves / NiceWiggOn September 12, 2021, 100 Thieves announced the signing of former Apex Legends pro player Jack ‘NiceWigg’ Martin as their first dedicated content creator for Respawn’s battle royale. The LA-based esports organization and lifestyle brand officially revealed that they had inked a deal with Jack ‘NiceWigg’ Martin via Twitter on September 12. Martin joins the org as their first dedicated Apex Legends content creator, alongside other streamers, YouTubers, and social media creators such as ‘BrookeAB’, Leslie ‘Fuslie’ Fu, Rachell ‘Valkyrae’ Hofstetter, and Hammoudi ‘Yassuo’ Abdalrhman. A former pro player for Counter Logic Gaming and unsigned ALGS competitor, the pro-turned-streamer has amassed over $20k in winnings, along with a following of over 700k across Twitch, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Welcome @NiceWigg to 100 Thieves! NiceWigg joins us as an Apex Legends creator. He’s one of the most genuine people we have ever met, with one of the most supportive and kind communities. We are so thrilled to have him as part of the family. #100T pic.twitter.com/mH303t41kS — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) September 12, 2021 100 Thieves did field a competitive Apex Legends team shortly after the game’s release in 2019, but the squad disbanded in 2020, and the org has remained absent from the Apex scene until Martin’s signing. NiceWigg joins 100T, headed by former Call of Duty pro Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag, after teaming up with fellow streamer Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop during Apex Legends’ latest season, Emergence — something that many of his fans took as a sign of his imminent addition to the org.

2 important tips to help you master the Wingman in Apex Legends The Wingman is a powerful weapon in Apex Legends but it can sometimes be difficult to master. Popular Apex YouTuber ‘The Gaming Merchant’ has come up with two tips that can help you really improve. Many would agree that the Wingman was the most potent and used weapon over the first few months of Apex Legends, mainly due to its consistent reliability at nearly all ranges. While it may not be the most dominant gun anymore, due to several nerfs and new weapons added, it’s still very viable, especially when paired with an automatic weapon that has a high fire-rate. The only downside to the Wingman, if you can even call it that, is that it’s not the easiest to use, as it takes very good aim to be able to consistently hit shots with it. That’s why a lot of the lesser-skilled players shy away from picking it up, despite its impressive track record. Read More: Well-time exploit makes Crypto invincible – In order to help players be more confident when using it, The Gaming Merchant has offered two key pieces of advice – use the 2x scope properly and learn to time the weapon sway. Use the 2x HCOG “Classic” Scope properly The 2x HCOG “Classic” Scope, more commonly referred to as just the 2x scope, is arguably the most commonly used sight on the Wingman because it zooms in enough to increase precision without muddling up the field of view. However, a lot of players don’t know how to properly use the scope’s reticle, which is a hollow triangle. Many believe that where you aim with the triangle’s tip is where the bullet gets fired, but that’s actually not true. As The Gaming Merchant points out, the correct place to aim the target is in the middle of the triangle’s hollow area, as such: Simple making this adjustment and practicing with it in the Firing Range will train your hand-eye coordination to start aligning your target’s head with the center of the triangle rather than the tip. This should result in getting a lot more headshots using fewer rounds, but if headshots are still tough to get for you, then feel free to aim the hollow area at an opponent’s body, which is a lot easier to hit. Learn to time the Wingman’s sway As with most first-person shooters, a lot of the weapons in Apex Legends sway when aiming down sights, and the Wingman is no exception. Its sway moves down and up with very little horizontal movement. The Gaming Merchant recommends two ways to go about learning to time the sway. The first is to wait until the reticle is at the lowest point of the sway, where it pauses for an instant, which is just enough time to fire a shot before it rocks up again. The other method is to pull the Wingman slightly down after shooting because the sway “resets” after every shot so you can basically keep the reticle stationary and keep firing at the same spot each time. A great way to integrate these tips into your Apex muscle memory is to load into Firing Range, equip the Wingman with a 2x scope and practice against the dummies. While it may take more than just these two tips for you to master the Wingman, they will definitely help you take another step closer to dominating with the weapon.

200 IQ Apex Legends trick lets Wraith completely bamboozle enemies on Olympus Respawn/EAApex Legends players have got an incredible movement trick that lets Wraith absolutely bamboozle enemies at Bonsai Plaza and them completely helpless. The one thing that makes Apex Legends stand out from the battle royale crowd is the fact that you have to choose a character to use before the game starts. Each character has different abilities, and you can play the game in different ways. Long-time players have pretty much mastered the different abilities at this point, given we’re approaching the two-year anniversary of the game’s launch. But, every now and again, someone pulls off something new that wows even the biggest veterans of the Apex Games. That includes a ridiculous highlight from Wraith at Bonsai Plaza, just days before Apex Legends Season 8 goes live, where expert movement left an opponent completely helpless. It comes from Reddit user LithuanianJohn who came under fire from an enemy team while trying to loot up at Bonsai Plaza. The Wraith player managed to eliminate one of their foes, but, they were still tasked with taking down another. As the other enemy came flying at them, firing off shots, the Redditor used Wraith’s tactical to make it seem like they were fleeing. Instead, LithuanianJohn just made it look like they were jumping out Bonsai’s mid window. They actually hung on to the side and watched as their foe jumped out of the window, going flying to the floor below. Now, seeing as we don’t have fall damage in Apex, the enemy wouldn’t have been eliminated on impact. But, it just opened up enough space for the Redditor to get themself healed and figure out their next move. Of course, you need some pretty nifty movement skills to pull it off, given how quick you need to react to grab ahold of the side of the window. But, if you can master it, you can bait enemies into a hilarious mistake.

$25,000 T1 x FACEIT Apex Legends Invitational – schedule, players, how to watch, format and more Apex Legends – TwitterSouth Korean esports organization T1 and competitive gaming platform FACEIT have joined forces to host a $25,000 invitational tournament for Apex Legends. On March 19, T1 and FACEIT announced their plans to put together a $25,000 Apex Legends Invitational which will feature some of the biggest names in the community. We’re here to make sure you don’t miss a second of this competition, and below you can find important details such as the full schedule, how to watch, possible format, and more. Schedule and How to Watch The T1 x FACEIT Apex Legends Invitational will be played on Saturday, March 30, starting at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET / 9 PM GMT. The tournament will be livestreamed on both T1’s and FACEIT’s Twitch channels, which we will include below for your convenience. Watch live video from t1esports on www.twitch.tvWatch live video from FACEIT TV on www.twitch.tvPlayers and Teams According to the announcement, the T1 x FACEIT Apex Legends Invitational will feature 20 streamer-led squads, which likely means that at least one player on each team will be an established Twitch streamer. There have been several players and teams announced so far, including the likes of NRG Esports’ standout pro player Dizzy. NRG Dizzy, Outlaws Mendokusaii, NRG Ace – TSM aimbotcalvin, Gen.G GrimReality, Overpowered – FaZe Cizzors, SoaR RyanGlock, Gnarlie – T1 Sonii, Liquid Rogue, 1Assert – T1 Kurt, T1 BCJ, T1 Zerg – Kephrii, JP2, 100T Teenage – Solary Jbzz, Solary mzqqq, Yuuki60 – Josh OG, C9 Chappie, C9 Frexs – T1 JuanKorea, Quadro Davin, Sara – FaZe Tennpo, CLG Marksman, Lyricsan – xQc, Zombs, Xretzi – LyndonFPS, m0xy, Trainwreckstv – TSM Thump, TSM Prodigyaces, TSM Imperialhal – Tempo Dcop, Tempo Zeerocious, Tempo etheriia – Kyrai, Gabesimon, Reptar – iShiny, Cornpops, Muffinzz – Moose, Losido, Helping – TSM Kraftyy, TSM Viss, Tannerslays – Dyrus, Imaqtpie, Shiphtur – Announcing our first participant in the #T1xFACEITInvitational, @Dizzy! :date:: March 30th, 2-6PM PT :tv:: https://t.co/Ow7QrIWuJB | https://t.co/JUof5EsR0LTag who else you want to see in our $25K Apex tournament! ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/uzNHR7raQX — T1 (@T1) March 20, 2019 Possible Format Aside from the fact that this competition will feature 20 squads, there is relatively little else known about the format that will be used. However, since it’s unlikely that Respawn Entertainment will provide a custom server, this tournament will probably be played out in public matches, with teams getting points for eliminations and match placements. The two formats that T1 and FACEIT will likely look to choose from will be the ones used by Code Red and Twitch Rivals in their respective public-match-based Apex Legends competitions. Code Red used a double elimination bracket where teams matched up against each other in each round tried to outscore each other over three matches, while Twitch Rivals used a time-based leaderboard format based on how many points teams could score in an allotted time window.

100 Thieves announce return to Apex Legends esports 100 Thieves/RespawnEsports org 100 Thieves has officially announced they’re returning to competitive Apex Legends play, and have already signed a team. Apex Legends has seen a resurgence in the last few months on Twitch, with more and more players migrating over from Warzone and other games. With the growing popularity of Respawn’s sci-fi battle royale 100 Thieves have apparently decided to jump back into the game’s esports scene, announcing the signing of three players to their new team on October 8. 100 THIEVES IS BACK IN APEX LEGENDS Please welcome the reigning ALGS North American Champions to 100 Thieves as our competitive Apex Legends roster. #100T@scuwry @Onmuu_ @fpsvein pic.twitter.com/LDuQob4seJ — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) October 8, 2021 Alex ‘scuwry’ Scala, Brendan ‘Onmuu’ Pode and Nicholas ‘Vein’ Hobbs are the trifecta of Apex pros the Thieves have signed for their new-look squad. 100 Thieves previously fielded a professional Apex team when the game first came out, but the org released the entire squad back in August of 2019, and temporarily stepped away from the scene. At the time, they blamed “uncertainty” over the future of Apex as an esport, but it seems those fears now seem to have been done away with. “Apex Legends has now solidified itself, in my mind, as an IP that will be around for the next decade — if handled properly,” 100T founder and CEO Matthew ‘Nadeshot’ Haag said in the announcement video. “This is a team we know can perform at the highest level consistently, and we’re hoping we can give them the support they need to win even more in the future.” Dropped a 20 bomb first game with 100 Thieves, Dub pic.twitter.com/z3qGywybOz — OXG Vein (@fpsvein) October 8, 2021 We still don’t know when the newly minted 100 Thieves Apex Legends team will start competing, but most likely they’ll be joining the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS) along with other top-tier NA esports teams. Apex hasn’t seen as popular an esports scene as other games like Overwatch, CS:GO, LoL, and others, but if this 100 Thieves news is a sign of the times, more orgs could be following suit soon.

100 Thieves drop Apex Legends team amid uncertainty for competitive scene Respawn / 100 ThievesOne of the biggest American esports organizations, 100 Thieves, have announced the release of their Apex Legends squad. Apex Legends is one of the newest battle royale games on the market. However, this didn’t stop the game from becoming incredibly popular, as it quickly gained interest after a rather unexpected release in February 2019. 100 Thieves were quick to join the competitive scene, signing three players in late February – just a few weeks after the game’s initial launch. Connor ‘Gigz’ White, Justin ‘Teenage’ Phipps, and Isiaih ‘Lifted’ Slowik made up the initial roster of the team, with Justin ‘JP2’ Pate joining in early April and eventually replacing Gigz, who began to focus on content creation. During their time at 100 Thieves, the squad perhaps didn’t live up to expectations, largely placing in the bottom half of most tournaments they played. On August 25, they managed a second place at the Rivalcade Apex Legends August Rumble, but that did not seem to be enough for the American organization, who announced that they are parting ways with their team on August 27. Today we part ways with our Apex Legends team. Thank you @Teenage, @100T_lifted, and @100T_JP2 for representing 100 Thieves during your competitive Apex career. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors. pic.twitter.com/OG55u19wwV — 100 Thieves (@100Thieves) August 27, 2019 100 Thieves did not give too much information behind the reason for releasing the team, simply thanking them for representing the organization in their announcement. Other big teams like Cloud9 and Immortals have also recently parted ways with their group of players, so it’s also possible that the game may be falling out of favor. On the other hand, two of the biggest tournaments to-date are just around the corner for the game’s competitive community, with the Apex Legends Preseason Invitational and Twitch Rivals TwitchCon San Diego both taking place in September, boasting an impressive $500,000 prize pool each. With many teams at the Preseason Invitational not being tied to an organization, top teams like 100 Thieves may just be looking to sign new talent.

100 Thieves exit Apex Legends esports despite putting together 2024 roster 100 Thieves100 Thieves are leaving Apex Legends esports despite putting together a roster for the 2024 season, citing concerns with the circuit and their ability to break even with a team. 100 Thieves jumped into Apex Legends esports in 2019 and have been in the game in some capacity ever since. The organization has not won a major trophy in the game, however, it has made multiple international tournaments. In 2023, 100T went to all three ALGS LAN events with their highest placement being 14th at the Split 2 Playoffs. The organization dropped its entire roster on September 22, 2022, and it seemed like 100 Thieves would not be back for the 2024 season. In a post in the 100 Thieves Discord, the 100 Thieves Vice President of Esports, Jacob Toft-Andersen, said the organization had a team lined up to play next season but has now decided to exit the esport. 100 Thieves leave Apex Legends esports The North American esports organization has been impacted by the negative economic headwinds in the esports industry. 100 Thieves went through multiple rounds of layoffs this year and recently announced a “refocus” in its business model by cutting team size and spinning off its energy drink and game development projects. In Toft-Andersen’s message about the org’s exit from Apex Legends, he said that 100T has been “hyperattentive on making each title break even” and that they want to work closely with developers in those titles. “Out of principle we didn’t want to continue in the ALGS with how it was structured,” he said. EA does not seem to be a developer that wants to work closely or take feedback from esports organizations. The developer reportedly shot down revenue sharing via in-game cosmetics with orgs in the ALGS and has since had multiple well-established organizations leave the Battle Royale esport. The organization’s slot in the North American ALGS should stick with its former players, however, it does not seem like the team has any intention of sticking together for next season. Fans will have to wait and see how the players and EA decide to handle 100T’s slot in the league for the 2024 season.

100 Thieves’ NiceWigg hits back at Apex Legends cheating accusations 100 Thieves / RespawnApex Legends streamer Jack ‘NiceWigg’ Martin has hit back at accusations of cheating, with the 100 Thieves player even providing footage of his controller to prove the accusers wrong. While cheating in Apex Legends has not been as endemic as in other battle royales, it has still made a large portion of the community wary of incredibly high level gameplay. There have been a couple of notable cheating scandals, seeing some of the game’s highest ranked Apex Predators banned for cheating. As an ex-professional player on controller, NiceWigg is no stranger to accusations of cheating – with many community members throwing blanket accusations the way of incredibly talented players. As the unfounded allegations continue to pile up, the 24-year-old has gone out of his way to prove them wrong. In a recent Twitch stream, NiceWigg responded to the growing accusations, criticizing them as unfounded. He even joked that he wished his audience would pick one criticism of him and stick to it, as opposed to floating a host of unfounded accusations his way. “What do you mean? I’m not even a top ten controller player in the game,” he said, “according to everybody. And I’m f**king cheating now? I can’t catch a break. I’m a quitter, I’m a cheater, I’m bad at the game, what the f**k do you want from me?” NiceWigg even took a short break mid-stream to show his viewers his controller, making clear that no strike pack or Cronus was attached as some accusers claimed. “Dude, I use a **cking standard PS5 controller bro,” he said, showing the controller off and making sure viewers got a good look at it. “I play claw no paddles bro and according to half the community, I’m not even that good!” In a post-stream tweet, he again hit out at the accusations, telling “all the people making accusations” to “get sh*t on”. 🚨TO ALL THE PEOPLE MAKING ACCUSATIONS RECENTLY ABOUT ME CHEATING IN APEX LEGENDS🚨 GGS GET SHIT ON — 100T NiceWigg (@NiceWigg) November 27, 2021 It’s also fair to assume that NiceWigg’s organization 100 Thieves would not have let the streamer join had they any real inkling that he is cheating. The Apex creator joins a long list of streaming figures that are facing allegations of cheating with little to no evidence. Unfortunately, with video game cheating such a prevalent issue, it doesn’t seem that creators will escape cheating allegations soon.

10 tips and tricks for dominating new Winter Express LTM in Apex Legends There is a new Limited Time Mode called Winter Express in Apex Legends’ returning Holo-Day Bash event, and we’ve got 10 tips and tricks to help you dominate matches. Launching on December 1 and running through until January 4, the Holo-Day Bash in-game event adds a lot of holiday-themed content in Apex Legends, one of which is the Winter Express LTM. As you can probably guess from the name, Winter Express puts all of the focus on the in-game train, which was decked out in holiday decorations for this in-game event. The Winter Express is pulling back into the station for the return of Holo-Day Bash! Join the festivities Dec 1. 🚂❄ pic.twitter.com/FJavCL3aUt — Apex Legends (@PlayApex) November 24, 2020 How does Winter Express LTM work? In each match, three teams of three players each face off against each other with the objective of capturing the train. The train can be captured in one of two ways – either by filling out the capture bar without being contested by enemies or being the last team alive. The match ends when one of the teams manages to capture the train three times. Read More: How to unlock “free” Pathfinder Heirloom – There are, however, some aspects of this mode that are different from how regular Apex matches go: Players spawn in with a pre-determined loadout of weapons and items, which are different for each Legend. Loadouts change on a daily basis. – Respawning is enabled. Once a player is eliminated, they can join back. – The radius of the train’s patch is reduced so that players are never too far from the action. – 10 tips and tricks for Winter Express LTM 1. Find the best loadout available Each Legend has its own pre-determined loadout, so make sure to check them all out to find the one with the best and most powerful combination of weapons and items. For a mode like this, prioritize the loadout over your preferred Legend of choice, because having a better setup is more important. 2. Mix and match attachments with teammates Attachments can be dropped in this mode, so it would be a good idea to strategize with teammates and swap attachments to maximize all of the weapons’ potentials. For example, the EVA-8 shotgun comes with a red-dot sight that would be of better use on another gun, or moving an extended mag to a Devotion LMG to turn it into a death machine. 3. Use the Lifeline’s Care Package to get better loot The Lifeline’s Care Package Ultimate Ability can be activated in this LTM, which means you and your team might end up getting access to powerful items that aren’t normally available, such as purple armor or thermal scopes. 4. Don’t forget about unlimited heals For whatever reason, whether because of a glitch or intentional design, you have unlimited heals in this mode, even though your healing inventory will indicate only one syringe and one shield cell. Make sure to take advantage of this feature because it can really make a difference between staying alive and getting eliminated. 5. You don’t have to land on the train Most players’ initial instinct in this mode will be to land directly on the train, which is why a good strategy would be not to. Instead, aim to land on high structures near the train and pick off enemies from there. Remember, there are three teams all fighting against each other, so you can always third party enemy players by getting the high ground and shooting at them away from the train. 6. Stay close enough to stop teams from capturing While not landing on the train right away is a good move, it’s also important to not be too far away from the action. If one of the two other teams gains control, it’s imperative that you and your team are close enough to jump down and contest the capture, otherwise you will lose the round. 7. Ditch the train after winning a round In line with the last tip, it’s always a good idea to get off the train as soon as you win a round because most players spawning back in will go straight for it. Treat the start of each round like a new match – aim for the high ground so that you can pick off gung-ho players who aggressively go for the train. 8. Attack from the front Most players who are on the train will expect to be attacked from either of the two sides or the back, but never the front. They also forget that the front side of the train is now open. This is why it’s a good strategy to land in front of the train, albeit a good distance away, and make your way towards it, shooting at the enemies on board who will most likely be looking the wrong way. 9. Play the stalemate game if necessary When finding yourself in a situation where winning a round is too difficult to manage, focus your efforts on making sure the two other teams don’t either Remember, each round is timed, and when the timer hits zero and no one’s captured the train, the next round starts. Sometimes the best play is to make sure no one captures by the time that happens. 10. Multi-task with jump pads In order to help players reach the train quickly, a bunch of jump pads were placed at various points on the tracks. You can use these not only to get to the train quickly but also to reach certain areas of the map, especially high ground, positioning yourself to take down enemies below. Furthermore, when using these jump pads, you are actually afforded enough time to pop a shield cell, so you can definitely save time by doing so.

10-year-old Apex Legends phenom squad wipes ImperialHal and NICKMERCS Lilfredson / ALGSApex Legends’ youngest Predator Lifredson, was shown on stream eliminating ImperialHal’s whole squad, which also included NICKMERCS and pro player Deeds. The 10-year-old first hit the spotlight when he became the youngest player of all time to reach the top rank of Predator in Apex Legends’ Ranked mode. Lilfredson has since teamed up with Apex’s biggest name ImperialHal, where they joined forces in July and dominated Ranked lobbies on stream. This time, the rising star ended up facing ImperialHal in the battle royale and his stacked team that included NICKMERKS and pro player Deeds – and he’s wowed the internet with his skills. Apex Legends youngest Predator eliminates ImperialHal During a live stream, Lifredson was seen fighting against another squad of three in the competitive mode of Respawn’s popular title. With the rest of his team being already wiped out, it was left up to the 10-year-old to clutch up a 1-vs-2 situation, where he quickly eliminated the two enemies. “That was Deeds you just did that too,” his friend points out, before realizing the young prodigy had also eliminated ALGS 2023 world champion ImperialHal and even NICKMERCS. “Lilfred already has esports offers if he wants them. But right now him and his dad are just enjoying video games. I love it,” Jake Lucky, who shared the clip, revealed. “I was eating glue at 10 years old (still am)… this kid is going places, that’s hella impressive,” FlexNinja, a popular Valorant creator replied. “And to think I’ve had this kid play & win in one of our tournaments,” another said. ImperialHal has been known as the CEO of in the Apex community, due to his dominant reign over the years while playing professionally for TSM’s esports team. While NICKMERCS is arguably more known for his streaming than competing, he and Deeds play as part of the Tripods trio, proving it was no easy feat for the young star.

10 high-IQ tips and tricks to help you master Caustic in Apex Legends Caustic is one of the least popular Legends to use in Apex Legends, but popular YouTuber ‘The Gaming Merchant’ has come up with 10 tips and tricks that can help players use the character much more effectively. When ranking their favorite Legends to use, most Apex Legends players will have Caustic towards the bottom of their lists. Many simply don’t believe he is viable enough when compared with some of the other more powerful Legends, especially when it comes to ultra-competitive play in the ranked mode. Like every other character, the Toxic Trapper has three abilities at his disposal: Tactica Ability: Nox Gas Trap – drop canisters that release deadly Nox gas when shot or triggered by enemies – Passive Ability: Nox Vision – allows you to see enemies through your gas – Ultimate Ability: Nox Gas Grenade – blankets a large area in Nox gas – However, just because a lot of players may agree that Caustic isn’t the best Legend doesn’t mean he’s useless. In fact, when using his abilities to their maximum potential, he becomes quite potent. Below you can find 10 tips and tricks that The Gaming Merchant suggests to always keep in mind when looking to be successful with the Legend. How to be successful with Caustic in Apex Legends 1. Throw Gas Traps when searching through buildings Gas Traps get triggered if an enemy player is around it, so they can be a good tool to clear out buildings when searching through them. Always throw them in rooms and hallways before advancing so that you can know if someone is there or not. If there is an enemy hiding, the Gas Trap will not only let you know but it’ll damage them a bit to boot. 2. Constantly pick up your Gas Traps Caustic can deploy up to six Gas Traps at once, but you never have to worry about running out if you always keep picking them up. If you’re throwing them to clear out rooms and hallways, as soon as you see no one is there just pick them up because you always want to keep your stash maxed out. 3. Always shoot Gas Traps to activate them You don’t have to wait for an enemy play to come around to activate your Gas Traps, you can do so yourself simply by firing at them. If you’re about to engage an enemy team, throw your trap ahead of time and then shoot at it so that it’ll begin to release the gas. Even if that doesn’t directly damage your opponents, it’ll give them something to think about and stir confusion in the gunfight. 4. Use Gas Traps for cover Nox Gas Traps provide cover in more ways than one – they can be used to release Nox Gas that opponents can’t see through and they’re also physical objects that Caustic can hide behind. Use this to your advantage by staying close to the traps in gunfights, as you can see through the gas to keep track of enemies and use the traps as a barrier between yourself and enemies. 5. Combine Gas Traps to gain access to loot If you want to loot through a Death Box that’s in an open area, deploy two or more Gas Traps and shoot at them so that they’ll activate. The gas they release will give you 10 seconds to loot through the box without anyone potentially catching you off guard. 6. Throw Gas Traps in front of Wraith portals If you are fighting a Wraith who tries to activates a portal, put a Gas Trap in front of the portal’s entrance and shoot at it, just in case she tries to bamboozle you by coming back. If she does, the already-activated trap will confuse her and deal instant damage, opening up an opportunity for you to win the gunfight. 7. Control doors with Gas Traps A lot of Caustic players will make the mistake of putting Gas Traps directly in front of doors. While this may help trap enemies, it’ll also prevent your from escaping if things don’t work out as your had planned. A good idea is to still place Gas Traps in front of doors but just far enough so that you can get through the doorway, while not allowing the door to open from the outside. 8. Use Ult to bait enemies chasing you A lot of aggressive players will try to chase you down after inflicting some damage, but you can effectively counter-attack them by seemingly running away into a closed area and activating your Ultimate Ability. Once the chasing enemy team catches up to you, it’ll be too late for them as your Nox Gas Grenade will have them disoriented and blind, at which point you can wipe them all out with relative ease. 9. Combine your Ult with Jump Towers If there are enemy teams fighting each other in an open area where there is a Jump Tower nearby, a very strong tactic is to ride the Tower and then throw your Nox Gas Grenade right when you reach the top. This will allow your Ult to hit the enemy teams and activate right before you land, at which point no one will know who’s who except you, thanks to your Nox Vision. 10. Stockpile your Gas Traps As mentioned above, Caustic can have up to six Gas Traps deployed at once, but even if all of them are placed down, the Legend will still have three in reserve that can’t be placed. This brings your total number of traps to nine, which you can stockpile if you’re engaging at enemies from long distances and don’t need to use any right away. Simply place three down next to you and still hold six in reserve. Read More: Brilliant ‘escape artist’ Legend concept – For a visual demonstration of all of these tips and tricks, check out The Gaming Merchant’s video below: Hopefully these tips and tricks will inspire you to use Caustic more in Apex, because he can still be a very viable Legend against a lot of less-experienced players!

The episode also revealed several things from Shizuka’s past that showed us she also did not have a good childhood. Shizuka started living her life once again when she came across Akira. She was astonished to see Akira’s diary, where he had listed 100 things he wanted to do before getting zombified. Shizuka and Kencho try to convince Akira to resign, but he can’t make a decision until the former does something that makes him realize his mistake.

MIL-SPEC (Legendary) The MIL-SPEC takes Bangalore back to her roots as a soldier, and while the skin itself uses fairly plain colors, it has the added advantage of its own unique select animation. It was available in the store for 1800 AC. 8. Super Soldier (Legendary) The Super Soldier skin was available as part of the Bangalore Edition pack, which will soon only be available to EA Play members. 7. Killing Machine (Legendary) This one is definitely a ‘love it or hate it’ skin, depending on whether you’re a fan of the colors. If you like to go bold though, then this classic from the System Override event could be for you. In the event, it cost 1800 AC or 2400 metals. 6. Violet Veteran (Legendary) Added for the three-year anniversary, this purple ensemble is the perfect match for Loba and Valkyrie’s skins of the same type – if you like to play in a trio like this. On its own though, this is the closest we have to a cyborg skin for Bangalore, for 1800 AC or 2400 Crafting Metals. 5. Full Metal Jacket (Legendary) Another skin that definitely fits with Bangalore’s character is Full Metal Jacket. This is actually a recolor of her ‘Spacewalker’ Skin, and so is only available with Legend tokens, if it returns to the store. 4. Radical Action (Legendary) Radical Action was celebrated among Bangalore fans for finally giving her a unique hairstyle – that wasn’t the infamous ‘Karen’ look she’d been given with other skins. This is definitely one of the very best Bangalore looks. 3. Crimson Queen (Legendary) Released for Apex Legends’ second-anniversary (1800 AC or 1200 Metals), this was the perfect skin to celebrate two years of Bangalore. It’s now the go-to skin for many of the best Bangalore players out there and will fit perfectly alongside any predator badges you might have. 2. Viceroy (Legendary) Arguably Bangalore’s most-stylish skin, Viceroy was released for the Grand Soirée event for 1800 AC or 1200 metals, and returned in the September Soirée. If you haven’t got this one in your collection, hopefully it will return again. 1. Outland Warrior (Legendary) There really couldn’t be any other skin at the number one spot for Bangalore. The original gold version of the Crimson Queen was released in the Legendary Hunt event for 1800 AC, and perfectly captures Bang’s fighting spirit and style. Those are our top picks for Bangalore’s best skins in Apex Legends. If Bang isn’t your go-to character though, check out the best skins for Loba, Mirage, Fuse, or Caustic.

Zom 100 anime drops new trailer for Christmas Day episodes NetflixAkira and his friends from Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead look forward to spending Christmas with you this year, with the final episodes due to air over the holidays. Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead revolves around Akira, who is tired of his usual corporate life, so he always wishes to quit. His dream indeed comes true when, one day after waking up, he finds that the undead have taken over the town. Despite being popular with each episode, the anime series has disappointed fans by going on breaks due to production difficulties. For example, following the release of Episode 5, the series went on a two-week break, and it happened again shortly after. However, the most disheartening hiatus came after the release of the ninth episode, as it didn’t reveal when could expect to see it again. After months of waiting, we finally have a release date for the episodes that will feature the grand finale of the anime. Zom 100 Episodes 10-12 release date revealed in new trailer Zom 100 Episodes 10-12 will be released on December 25, 2023. Zom 100 arrived with the ninth episode in September 2023, and after that, the series took an indefinite break. On January 18, 2023, Viz Media’s official website released a new trailer showcasing the events that had previously happened in the anime. Besides that, Viz Media’s Youtube channel has also released a 23-minute recap episode titled, ‘Road Trip to Gunma.’ As the final episodes are finally closer to the release, the creators have released a colorful Christmas-themed key visual to hype up the finale. You can have a look at it below: The last episode before the break showed Akira and his friends finally arriving at his village, where they struggle to enter as the villagers have created a roadblock to stop the Zombies. However, the group somehow managed to enter. After reaching out to his parents, Akira tried to help them with the daily chores but faced difficulty. As per the manga, further events will see Akira helping the villagers survive peacefully despite the chaotic situation. Unfortunately, the boy comes across Kanta Higurashi, a former classmate with a bucket list that looks exactly opposite to that of Akira’s. While the main protagonist wants to have fun before joining the zombie troop, Higurashi is desperate to destroy the entire society. You can watch the episodes on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead Episode 6 gets a new Release date after getting delayed CrunchyrollSorry fans of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, as it seems like Episode 6 has truly gotten delayed.

The zombie-themed anime series Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead brings a new episode each Sunday, and until now, it has given us five entertaining episodes. Unfortunately, when fans were buckling up to witness the events of Episode 6, the news of it getting delayed surfaced. This is not the first time Zom 100’s episode has gotten delayed, and here’s everything we know about it. Zom 100 Episode 6 new release date revealed Zom 100: Bucket List of Dead Episode 6 was to be released on August 20, 2023, but now it will arrive on Crunchyroll on Sunday, August 27, 2023. The reason behind this delay is the 2023 World Athletics Championships, which will occur in Budapest from August 19, 2023, to August 27, 2023. The Championships will be live-streamed on the same channel responsible for broadcasting the episodes of Zom 100 and several other anime series. Hence, these clashes have led to Zom 100 Episode 6 getting delayed. Fans are fuming over the delay of Zoom 100 Episode 6 Zom 100 is one of the anime series of the Summer line-up 2023 that has brought a fresh perspective to the Zombie-centred shows. And that’s why it has accumulated a considerable fanbase. However, due to the recent setbacks of the anime, several fans have started removing the series from their watchlist. Well, it’s understandable why such a good show is beginning to lose its fanbase after so many frequent delays. Previously, the fourth and fifth episode of the anime was delayed, and now, the sixth episode is again getting delayed. No matter what the reasons for these delays are, fans have started going bonkers. Several fans have taken the issue to social media and have started showing their disappointment. While the news of the delay was followed by several backlash-filled comments on Twitter, several loyal fans of the show still hope to see this as the final deferral.

One of the best anime shows ever is now streaming on Netflix NetflixNetflix has plenty of great anime to choose from, and one of the all-time classics has just been quietly added to the service for subscribers. You can find some of best anime shows ever on Netflix. Demon Slayer, for instance, is available for anyone in the US or UK who signs up. Then you have Cowboy Bebop, Vinland Saga, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and many more. The selection is strong, and what’s great is that it’s consistently getting new additions. Some are newer, like Seven Deadly Sins, but, perhaps more excitingly, you get some old school picks as well. Things you missed, or releases that have just generally gone overlooked. One series that’s just been is one such example. Yu Yu Hakusho is now streaming on Netflix The ’90s anime series Yu Yu Hakusho can now be streamed on Netflix with any regular subscription in the US or UK. The first 66 episodes are available, giving you a sizable chunk of the story. A supernatural romp, Yu Yu Hakusho follows Yusuke Urameshi, a young man who becomes a detective within the afterlife, leading on all sorts of odd adventures to apprehend his targets. These quests often involve martial arts tournaments and fights, leading to some pretty staggering battles. Yoshihiro Togashi, known for making Hunter x Hunter, created the manga, and both it and the proceeding adaptation are seminal works. They were part of the ’90s explosion of manga and anime, although these days they’ve fallen by the wayside somewhat. Now, you can rectify that in short order. Netflix actually produced a live-action version recently as well, so if you enjoyed that show, now you can see where it came from. Our list of the best anime movies has some feature-length choices, as well.

Yu Yu Hakusho: Who is Botan? NetflixYu Yu Hakusho’s live-action has finally arrived on Netflix, and as the Japanese drama series has earned several new fans, they might need help learning about the main characters. One such character is Botan; we have discussed everything about her here. Netflix doesn’t seem to look back after the success of One Piece‘s screen adaptation. Initially, when the fandom learned that the streaming giant was working on the 90s popular animanga Yu Yu Hakusho, none of them seemed happy. However, we saw its potential when the trailer was released ahead of the series premiere. And now, when it’s finally here, there is no denying that it is not a disappointment. In fact, we can say gone are the days when anime live-action films/series had bad reputations due to some failed projects like Cowboy Bebop and Death Note. Yu Yu Hakusho’s live-action has brought all the characters to life very well, and here we talk about Botan, who played a significant role in the story. Who is Botan in Yu Yu Hakusho? Botan is kind of a grim reaper, or you can say she is a guide who holds the responsibility to take the deceased souls to Koenma, the one who decides who should go to heaven and who must be sent to hell. Botan was the one who helped Yusuke pass the test given to him by Koenma to see if he was potent enough to earn the responsibilities of a spirit detective. Botan has been beneficial to Yusuke since the very beginning. Besides him, she also helped Keiko several times. For instance, when Hiei almost turns Keiko into a demon using his shadow sword, Botan uses her abilities to conceal her demonification process and save her life. Botan provided moral support to our main protagonist and Kuwabara to complete the harsh training with Genkai. Also, whenever Yusuke gets stuck somewhere, no matter how complicated the situation gets, Botan comes to his rescue. Who plays Botan in Yu Yu Hakusho live-action? Botan’s character is played by the 27-year-old actress Kotone Furukawa. She is recognized for her work in 2021’s film ‘Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy’ and ‘Pending Train,’ the TV show released in 2023. Furukawa made her first film appearance in 2019, while her TV debut was seen in Yell, an NHK TV drama released in 2020. You can check out our other anime coverage here.

Yuji and Sukuna’s fight in Jujutsu Kaisen is more tragic than we thought Gege Akutami/ShueishaYuji and Sukuna’s hateful battle in Jujutsu Kaisen becomes more tragic once we think about the true relationship between the two. Jujutsu Kaisen teased a deeper connection between Yuji and Sukuna from the very start. Not only can the protagonist house the ancient sorcerer without losing himself but they also share some features. But it isn’t until Chapter 257 that we get a confirmation. The chapter revealed that Sukuna ate his twin brother in their mother’s womb. The deceased fetus’ soul was later reincarnated as Jin Itadori, Yuji’s father. This means Sukuna is Yuji’s uncle, in a way. But this revelation didn’t add any emotional angle to their fight. Sukuna deserves what he’s getting from Yuji after causing so much chaos and carnage. However, if we think deeply enough, we’ll realize Yuji’s not just fighting his uncle all this time, but also his father. Though never stated explicitly, Sukuna’s four arms and two mouths may be a result of his consumption of his brother. After eating the child, Sukuna’s body merged with his twin’s. This means it’s his father’s body that has been causing Yuji so much pain and suffering. It’s a bleak detail that makes the final battle in the Shinjuku Showdown Arc a heartbreaking ordeal. Fans are also blown away by the observation. As one wrote on Reddit, “Identical twins share the same DNA, so biologically speaking, Yuji is Sukuna’s son.” “It goes a little deeper than that. Twins in JJK are considered the same soul. Spiritually speaking, Sukuna could be considered Yuji’s father,” replied another. “It’s even more sad that Jin is implied to cherish Itadori a lot, having been expecting Itadori’s birth for quite some time, even at the cost of turning a blind eye to his clearly suspicious, supposedly dead wife,” commented someone else. “The sad implication of this is that Itadori has been attacking and attacked by Body Parts that should’ve been his father’s,” shared one fan. While readers can see the tragedy of the fight, Yuji has no idea about his true relation to Sukuna, or even his real parentage. But since Jujutsu Kaisen has four chapters left before its ending, maybe Yuji will learn the truth before the finale.

Yu Yu Hakusho Live-action gets a spectacular trailer with a release date NetflixNetflix recently released the first official trailer of the much-awaited live-action adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho. Along with that, the streaming giant also confirmed that the series will hit our screens next month. Released back in 1990, Yu Yu Hakusho is a legendary manga series from Yoshihiro Togashi, the legendary mangaka who also gave us Hunter x Hunter. The manga series received an anime adaptation in 1992 and ran for a total of 112 episodes. Yu Yu Hakusho is considered a timeless classic that laid the foundation for several modern animanga series. So, it’s understandable why anime fandom is excited about the upcoming live-action adaptation while also wondering if Netflix will do justice to Togashi’s incredible work. Well, we can’t say if Netflix’s Yu Yu Hakusho will be good or bad, but the trailer does look amazing. Yu Yu Hakusho gets spectacular first trailer with a release date In Netflix Geeked Week 2023, Netflix released the first-ever trailer for Yu Yu Hakusho Live Action, confirming that the series will premiere worldwide on December 14, 2023. So, we are only a few days away from seeing these characters on our screens. Yu Yu Hakusho is about Yusuke Urameshi, who gets a second chance at life after becoming a Spirit Detective. The Netflix trailer starts with Yusuke’s death, who’s witnessing some paramedics surrounding his lifeless body. We also see Koenma reviving Yusuke as a Spirit Detective and sending him back to Earth to solve deadly and mysterious cases. Interestingly, we also get a good look at Toguro, who can be seen battling several characters at once with his immense strength. Finally, the trailer ends with Yusuke trying out his iconic Spirit Gun attack. Honestly, if that’s not enough to spark any excitement in fans, then what is? Of course, Netflix doesn’t have a good track record with anime live-action adaptations. Adaptations like Death Note and Cowboy Bebop didn’t exactly land well with fans. However, the curse was broken with the latest One Piece Live Action, which got a brilliant reception from critics and fans alike. So, maybe Netflix finally cracked the formula for good live-action adaptations? If that’s true, Yu Yu Hakusho might actually turn out to be great, and the hardcore fans of the series will love seeing their favorite characters back on the screens. You can check out our other anime coverage here.

What time is Yu Yu Hakusho live-action out? NetflixIs the upcoming Netflix live-action as good as One Piece? Well, we do not have to wait longer to know about it. The anime live-action projects had a bad reputation on Netflix until One Piece‘s arrival. That’s also one of the reasons why the community is dying to see if Yu Yu Hakusho’s live-action would be able to maintain the same standard. However, it is too early to pass any judgment about the upcoming Japanese drama series. Coming from the brains of Hunter X Hunter’s author, Yu Yu Hakusho is a supernatural-themed series that received its first anime adaptation in 1992. It was produced by Studio Pierrot, the animation house that gave the industry some masterpieces like Naruto, Bleach, and Tokyo Ghoul. Even though the anime adaptation remained underrated, it has gathered a cult following that wishes to see Yu Yu Hakusho live-action create history. Yu Yu Hakusho live-action: Release date and time Yu Yu Hakusho’s live-action will be released on Netflix on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 12:00am PT. International fans must follow the below time schedule to get hold of the series in their regions: 12:00am PDT – 2:00am CST – 3:00am EST – 8:00am BST – 9:00am European Time – 1:30pm IST – What is Yu Yu Hakusho about? Yu Yu Hakusho’s narrative follows a Junior high-school delinquent, Urameshi Yusuke, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he gets crushed by a car while saving a boy. After dying, he learns that he is not allowed to enter either hell or heaven. Soon, he comes across Koenma, who holds the authority to make decisions about Urameshi’s fate. Koenma resurrects Urameshi as a strong investigator of the supernatural. He also gets new powers and abilities that make him an invincible human. Urameshi is accompanied by the swordsman Hiei and the fox demon Kurama in every mission. Like the original anime series, Yu Yu Hakusho Live Action might stay underrated. That’s because, unlike One Piece Live Action, the live-action adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho lacks good marketing. Apart from some posters and two trailers, Netflix didn’t try anything else to promote the upcoming series. Regardless, fans who’ve watched the trailers are indeed intrigued and will definitely watch the series once it arrives on the platform. You can check out our other anime coverage here.

YouTuber devotes himself to bizarre challenge until Hunter x Hunter returns Japanese YouTuber Tarue assault has done 1000 punches every day for the last two years waiting for the next season of the popular anime Hunter x Hunter, becoming absolutely ripped in the process. Yoshihiro Togashi’s manga Hunter x Hunter is one of the most beloved anime’s in the world. Despite it not being part of the legendary “big three” which includes the likes of Naruto, Bleach and One Piece, Hunter x Hunter is still one of the best sellers and has an extremely devoted fanbase. One example of the anime’s loyal audience comes from a small Japanese YouTube creator Tarue assault, who dedicated himself to doing 1000 punches every day until the release of the next Hunter x Hunter season. In a May 25 tweet that went viral, anime fan killugonist pointed out the insane progress that YouTuber Tarue assault has made over the last two years with his daily 1000 punches. “There’s this guy who live streams himself doing 1,000 punches a day until Hunter x Hunter resumes,” the tweet read. “Look how tattered his clothes are now compared to when he first started,” they noted. there’s this guy who livestreams himself doing 1,000 punches a day until hunter x hunter resumes serialisation and look how tattered his clothes are now compared to when he first started 😭 pic.twitter.com/NhxKsqxtDy — an⁷ (@killugonist) May 25, 2022 The tweet has since blown up in the anime community, amassing over 110k likes and close to 15k retweets in just under a day, with other fans showing admiration in the replies. Making the Japanese creator’s dedication even more impressive, he did a mind-blowing 10,000 punches instead of 1,000 during his May 25 live stream, which lasted for almost 11 hours. This was likely to celebrate the announcement from Hunter x Hunter creator Yoshihiro Togashi, who revealed that the show would be returning after a four-year-long hiatus. Fans are now more excited than ever for the return of the cherished manga, after little hope was given to them for the continuation of the series.

Yu-Gi-Oh creator Kazuki Takahashi dies aged 60 HuluYu-Gi-Oh creator Kazuki Takahashi has tragically died aged 60, and police are still unaware of the official cause of death. Kazuki Takahash, who is best known for overseeing the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise since its start in 1996, has passed away at the age of 60. Yu-Gi-Oh! launched Takahashi’s career when it debuted in 1996. Before that, he had seen moderate success with a manga adaptation of the 1986 sports anime Go-Q-Choji Ikkiman, and he finally created his first original work, Tokio no Taka, in 1990. Fans across social media are devastated, as Takahashi’s creation had shaped the childhood and lives of so many individuals. Yu-Gi-Oh! was one of the first mangas and animes to really make it big worldwide, and for that Takahashi’s skill cannot be understated. No official cause of death for Yu-Gi-Oh creator Kazuki Takahashi According to the NHK, at approximately 10:30am on July 6, a citizen on a nearby boat spotted a body off the coast of Nago City in Okinawa.

Yu Yu Hakusho live-action cast & characters NetflixNetflix’s much-awaited live-action adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho is finally here. The new series has brought several characters from the manga to life, and here we break down all the major stars in the cast. Yu Yu Hakusho is a legendary anime show and manga that was influential on many modern franchises. The animanga series concluded three decades ago, but even today, it’s considered a masterpiece. So, it’s no surprise Netflix chose to remake it in live-action. Like the live-action One Piece, Yu Yu Hakusho was a pleasant surprise for the fandom. Of course, the story was condensed into five episodes, but the narrative still worked, and the martial arts sequences are incredible. But most of all, the think that Netflix’s Yu Yu Hakusho work is the cast. Contents Yusuke Urameshi: Takumi Kitamura – Kazuma Kuwabara: Shuhei Uesugi – Kurama: Jun Shison – Hiei: Kanata Hongo – Koenma: Keita Machida – Botan: Kotone Furukawa – Keiko: Sei Shiraishi – Genkai: Meiko Kaji – Younger Toguro: Go Ayano – Yukina: Ai Mikami – Yusuke Urameshi: Takumi Kitamura Yusuke Urameshi is the main protagonist of Yu Yu Hakusho. He is a delinquent who is usually seen getting into fights every now and then. His life gets upside down when he dies coming under a truck while saving a kid. Urameshi gets resurrected by Koenma, the one who decides the fate of the deceased souls. But this time, Urameshi is a spirit detective with several powers and abilities that make him way stronger than before. At the beginning of the series, Urameshi seems to be someone who doesn’t like to be around people and always carries a bold and impulsive attitude. However, over time, we see positive changes in his personality. He becomes compassionate toward others. Takumi Kitamura is seen in the shoes of Yusuke Urameshi in Yu Yu Hakusho’s live-action, and there’s no denying that we couldn’t get a better Yusuke than him. The 26-year-old actor/singer also appeared in the live-action film adaptation of the time-traveling anime Tokyo Revengers. Kazuma Kuwabara: Shuhei Uesugi Kazuma Kuwabara didn’t leave a good impression on the fandom with his first appearance in Yu Yu Hakusho, as he always called for a fight with Yusuke. He seemed our main protagonist’s rival from the very beginning, but as the story progressed, he became one of the closest people to Yusuke. At first, he also looks like a bully to the viewers, but over time, everyone realizes that he has a heart of gold that can’t see anyone getting into trouble. Moreover, Kuwabara’s inner spirituality gives him the ability to see things that can’t be seen or felt by everyone. For instance, whenever Botan appeared to meet Yusuke after resurrecting him, Kuwabara was the only one who could see her. Kuwabara’s role is played by Shuhei Uesugi, who is recognized for his portrayals in One Night Morning, You Made My Dawn, and more. Kurama: Jun Shison Kurama is a fox demon who happened to lead a group of bandits in his past life. One day, when he was about to get killed in a duel, he possessed a fetus of a human to get a new identity. Kurama seemed suspicious initially because of his past life deeds, but later, he turned out to be the first Yokai who holds compassion for humans. Even though he had the Mirror of Darkness that could give him anything he wanted, he chose to save his mother using the powerful thing. Kurama is portrayed by Jun Shion, who is known for his appearance in Ressha Sentai ToQger. Hiei: Kanata Hongo Hiei’s first appearance in Yu Yu Hakusho made us believe that he is a villainous entity who will eventually get beaten by Yusuke. But that was not the truth; although Hiei is a Yokai who came to the human world from the spirit world, he joins forces with the main protagonists to fight against his kind. Hiei’s right hand has been seen in bandages since the beginning. That’s because he was holding the Dragon of the Darkness Flame in his hand, and after the dragon was unleashed during the battle with Bui, his hands remained burned for some time with the dragon tattoo. Kanata Hongo plays Hiei in the live-action of Yu Yu Hakusho. The actor has previously worked in several films, music videos, and TV shows. Koenma: Keita Machida Koenma is the decision-maker of the Spirit world. When Yusuke dies in the road accident, his soul is brought to Koenma. However, Koenma decides to send him back to the human world as a spirit investigator. Koenma debuted in the manga and the anime as a toddler, but the live-action revealed his adult form from the start. Do you remember Karube from Alice in Borderland? Well, it’s the same actor (Keita Machida) who plays the character of Koenma in Netflix’s Yu Yu Hakusho. Botan: Kotone Furukawa Botan is Koenma’s assistant, who is responsible for guiding the souls. She appeared in front of Yusuke when the boy was trying to accept his death. Botan helped Yusuke understand several important things, such as Yokai’s origin and how he could use the spirit gun against them. She also saved Keiko’s life when Hiei almost turned her into a demon. However, the first season of Yu Yu Hakusho live-action hasn’t covered that part. In the screen adaptation, Kotone Furukawa has played the role of Botan. She is known for her portrayal in NHK’s TV show Yell. Keiko: Sei Shiraishi Keiko is Yusuke’s childhood friend, who is usually seen fighting with him whenever the delinquent gets involved in an unnecessary duel. She is the only person who was seen getting equally affected by his death as his mother. In anime and manga, Yusuke tries to communicate with Keiko several times. He also possessed Kuwabara’s body temporarily to seek Keiko’s help in stopping his mother from burying his body, as he will return soon. However, in the live-action, we didn’t get to see these events; the series was rushed directly to the part where Keiko was ready to sacrifice herself to bring Yusuke’s body out of the burning house. Keiko is played by Sei Shirashi, who appeared in I’s and Prince of Legend previously. Genkai: Meiko Kaji Koenma indeed gave the powers to Yusuke, but all the abilities were useless until Botan took him to Genkai for training. Kuwabara also tagged along with them. After the training’s completion, she passed on her Orb to Yusuke so that he could fight the Yokai more efficiently. The live-action couldn’t do justice to the character as she was seen getting killed by Toguro very soon. Whereas, Genkai also appeared and participated in the Dark Tournament in anime and manga. Genkai’s role has been played by Meiko Kaji, who has been in the industry since 1960 and has blessed the community with more than 100 films/TV series to date. Younger Toguro: Go Ayano Younger Toguro is the primary villain of Yu Yu Hakusho, who works as a mercenary for Sakyo, an influential member of a group of criminals. He was once a human who wanted to be a potent martial artist, but soon, his brain got corrupted, and he decided to become a Yokai. In this, his elder brother supported him, and he became a Yokai as well. In the anime and manga, it was not the first confrontation between Younger Toguro and Yusuke that saw him killed, but it was the Dark Tournament in which the latter killed the former. However, in the live-action, we see the antagonist getting killed by Yusuke when the latter forces him to use his strength all at once. Go Ayano has portrayed him in the Netflix show. He has worked in a plethora of movies and TV shows before appearing in Yu Yu Hakusho live-action. Yukina: Ai Mikami Yukina is Hiei’s long-lost sister, who is unfamiliar with the appearance of her brother. Hiei does not reveal that he is the brother Yukina is looking for. He takes this step to protect her from his enemies. Yukina is also a Yokai, and whenever she cries, her tears turn into pearls, so she becomes the target of the money-hungry people. Yukina is portrayed by Ai Mikami, who has mainly appeared in supporting roles since her debut. We have a list of the best anime movies on Netflix if you want more about what’s on the platform, and our list of the best anime on Crunchyroll will introduce you to more classics.

Yu Yu Hakusho live-action: 5 key differences NetflixFrom cutting important arcs to killing off characters, here is how Yu Yu Hakusho’s live-action differs from the anime. Condensing 66 anime episodes into just 5 hours of live-action was never going to be an easy task. And it gets even tougher when the source material is an anime as iconic as Yu Yu Hakusho. When the live-action version of Yu Yu Hakusho was first announced, fans expressed concern about how the streaming giant would maintain the essence of the beloved show. Well, they needn’t have worried. Because Netflix captured the characters perfectly. Netflix’s take on this classic shonen series keeps the incredible fight scenes and magnetic characters that made the original anime so iconic. But of course, there are some differences. From little tweaks to huge structural changes, here’s how Netflix’s Yu Yu Hakusho differs from the anime we all love. How Netflix’s version of Yu Yu Hakusho differs from the anime There will be spoilers ahead. So, if you haven’t seen Netflix’s version, stop reading now. The Netflix series only differs a little from the anime. However, the changes are noticeable. 1. Sakyo is the main villain In the anime, we see Sakyo as one of the main antagonists in the Dark Tournament saga. However, Netflix decided to expand his role in the live-action by making him a formidable villain across the entire series. In the live-action, Sakyo is now the mastermind behind Yukina’s kidnapping. Why? Because he wants to extract her priceless tears to make enough money to pay for his scientists to open a bigger hole in the Demon World. 2. The Artifacts of Darkness arc is condensed The Artifacts of Darkness mini-arc had a huge impact on the events in the anime, enabling Yusuke to discover Kurama’s true motives The premise of the arc is kept the same in both versions. Koenma tasks Yusuke to find three magical artifacts that have been stolen from the Spirit World. The Orb of Baast, which was stolen by Goki, The Forlon Hope by Kurama and the Shadow Sword by Hiei. However, this is where the similarities end. The anime includes a major battle between Hiei and Yusuke, which isn’t included in the live-action. Although this means that fans will miss out on some thrilling action, it doesn’t detract from the story too much. 3. Genkai’s Tournament is cut In both the anime and the live-action, we see Yusuke training under the legendary spirit master Genkai. Feared throughout the demon realm and respected among the spirits, Genkai plays an important role in Yusuke’s development. However, the live-action skips out on how she chose Yusuke and Kuwabara as her disciples. In the anime, she holds a potentially fatal tournament where the winner becomes her disciple. In the live-action, she simply accepts to train Yusuke and Kuwabara, which almost makes it seem like Yusuke’s journey is a little too easy. 4. Beasts of Maze Castle arc also doesn’t happen One thing the live-action adaptation does better than the anime is by avoiding unnecessary plot points. Which makes sense, considering they only had five episodes to adapt the source material. Since Yusuke is established as a strong character right at the start, we don’t really need any proof of it as the series progresses. As well as this, since the Makai insects (parasitic-like demons) appeared in the first episode of Netflix’s live-action, we were able to skip the entire Maze Castle Arc. Which many fans have praised as a genius move, considering how difficult adapting these episodes into a believable live-action sequence would be. 5. Dark Tournament and Spirit Detective Arcs merged The Dark Tournament arc is one of the most important parts of the Yu Yu Hakusho anime. In this arc, we see just how strong Toguro and Yusuke actually are. However, the live-action’s version of the Dark Tournament is a more than little different. Of course, the Dark Tournament fights still happen, but often in slightly different contexts which render the arc almost unrecognizable. In the anime, Toguro returns a couple of episodes after his first fight with Yusuke and invites him to participate in a secret tournament. In the Netflix version, Toguro is killed by Yusuke in their first fight, which means that we won’t get to see any of the revelations about Toguro’s past, the death of Genkai, or his future fights with Yusuke. The Dark Tournament arc is Yu Yu Hakusho’s most iconic saga. So, reducing it to a couple of fights was a risky move (that many fans are up in arms about). Do you think it paid off? You can watch episodes of the Yu Yu Hakusho anime on Crunchyroll, and the live-action series on Netflix. While you’re here, check out more of our anime coverage below:

Yu Yu Hakusho live-action anime trailer sparks “sloppy” concerns NetflixThe Netflix live-action remake announcement of hit 90s series Yu Yu Hakusho got fans excited for more. That is until the release of the action-packed new trailer raised doubts. Ahead of the debut of Netflix’s Yu Yu Hakusho live-action adaptation next week, the platform released a brand new action-packed trailer to give fans a sneak peak of what to expect. Based on Yoshihiro Togashi’s early 90s shonen manga, which was adapted into a long-running anime, is filled with supernatural mysteries, terrifying yokai and a 14-year-old street-urchin with unrivalled martial arts skills. A remake of this sword-slashing martial arts based fantasy series is exactly what the anime world needs. But although fans are excited for the live-action. The recently released trailer has also left fans conflicted. Let’s take a closer look. What’s Yu Yu Hakusho about? The story follows a 14-year-old orphan called Yusuke Urameshi. But his life takes a dramatic turn (quite literally) when he’s killed in a car accident and enters the spirit world, receiving a chance to return to his mortal body if he can complete a series of challenges. You’d think that this is enough plot alone for a manga. But no. After passing the tests and gaining the title of “Underworld Detective, Yusuke returns to the Human World to solve mysteries that plague the earth – most of which involve impressive displays of martial arts as he battles supernatural entities. The trailer raises doubts On December 5, Netflix released the trailer for the upcoming Yu Yu Hakusho series. It received almost 150k views in just 12 hours. But they also raised significant concerns about the series’ pacing. And that’s no surprise. The manga has a lot of material to cover, making fans question whether the Netflix series can live up to the standard that One Piece sets. One of the biggest concerns fans have raised after watching the trailer is the pacing. The trailer indicated they would skip some crucial moments, so fans took to social media to express concern. On Reddit, one user posted, “The dark tournament is the best tournament arc in any anime in history … Netflix: skip it idk.” And another said, “It’s gonna suck, nothing is going to get breathing room, and they’re not doing the Dark Tournament at all.” Of course, that won’t to stop fans from watching it, hoping for a pleasant surprise. With the cast featuring members from Alice in Borderland, and the studio that worked on Godzilla vs. Kong behind the effects, some have even expressed a cautious optimism towards the series. You can check out all their reactions on Reddit here. Things were a little more positive over on Twitter, with many fans expressing their excitement for the new series and an appreciation of the series visuals. However, similar concerns over rushing through the tournaments also cropped up. It is clear that not every manga source material lends itself to a live-action series. But since Yu Yu Hakusho is a supernatural blast from the past, it’s possible that fans concerns could soon materialize. Although, following the success of One Piece, let’s hope that Yu Yu Hakusho is sword-slashing martial arts series Netflix promises it will be. You can check out our other Netflix coverage here.

Wit Studio president breaks silence on MAPPA handling Attack on Titan CrunchyrollWit Studio President George Wada has opened up about MAPPA handling the final episodes of Attack on Titan – so here’s everything you need to know. Attack on Titan is one of the most popular anime in the world. The series is based on Hajime Isayama’s manga of the same name. The manga stirred up a storm when it debuted in 2009, only to become a defining piece of pop culture when the anime kicked off in 2013. The epic story centers on Eren Yeager and the Survey Corps, a special battalion created to defend their city from Titans. These are gigantic, humanoid monsters that eat inhabitants whole. Wit Studio created the first three seasons. However, just when the time skip was about to happen with the most insane plot twist, the studio dropped the series due to scheduling conflicts. Wit Studio’s incredible animation and attention to detail were the reason several studios refused to create the final season. The baton was ultimately passed on to MAPPA, who rose to the challenge and made the series more popular than ever. In an interview with Anime Corner, Wit Studio President George Wada shares his thoughts about the evolving anime industry as well as MAPPA taking over Attack on Titan. When asked about how he feels about the transition, Wada shared: “Yes, I’m very happy about Attack on Titan itself being so popular. What actually happens a lot is that the timing of the popularity of a manga and the timing of when a studio can actually get out the anime doesn’t always match up. “The reason that we were able to complete the series was because MAPPA took it on. And it’s a wonderful studio, so I’m very happy that they were able to take it on and continue with it.” All seasons of Attack on Titan are currently streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu.

“Worst” anime convention ever goes viral on TikTok for being a “disaster” CrunchyrollA recent anime convention has left people with the wrong kind of memories, as attendees and vendors have been posting about Anime Nation Fest being a total “dumpster fire”. Anime Nation Fest combined anime and tattooing for a weekend-long event running April 19 to 21 at the LA Convention Centre. Billed on the official site as an “anime extravaganza like no other”, the weekend has been the subject of criticism across TikTok and Reddit for poor attendance and organization, and allegedly misleading vendors. One vendor, Ayime, posted a TikTok highlighting lacklustre advertising and signposting around the event. Signage putting out where to go within the venue was minimal, and the trade hall was “tucked into” one part of a much larger room within the centre. Ayime mentions low footfall across the three days they were selling, showing clips with barely any attendees spread across the weekend. They mention that there was never a surge in people traffic — expected at certain hours throughout a convention between major panels and such — and lights on the Artist Alley went off for a period of time at one point. “We were told to prepare for thousands of people, but I probably only saw like 500,” Ayime states towards the end. In a stitch on TikTok, another artist vending at the convention, Keyyahnuh, makes similar observations, adding that numbers were allegedly skewed by the parent company to attract sellers. “Upon booking the event, they had told all the artist and vendors that they had sold 13,000 tickets, and they were expecting upwards of 30,000 attendees over the course of the three days,” Keyyahnuh says. “In day three, we were informed by somebody who was a private contractor for the company, who had worked with this coordinator for a long time, that these numbers were base don their best event they did in 2004.” Anime Nation Fest is run by a company called Mega Show, a self-described “trailblazer” who’ve been running events for 30 years, according to their website. This convention, per the official blurb, “caters to the heart and soul of every anime lover”, and was the first of several tattoo and anime shows booked throughout the year, with events listed for Houston, San Jose, and Scottsdale across Mega Show’s sites. Keyyahnuh brings up the cost of selling at these conventions, with independent artists and vendors having to pay for a stall over the course of the weekend, in addition to transport, accommodation, stock and more. Keyyahnuh states that artists paid upwards of $400 and vendors around $800, and mentions that even those prices carry the implication of getting access to a large audience. “Any time you see a table with a fee this high, it’s associated with larger events, and we were promised that expectancy,” they add. “A lot of vendors came from out of state based on that expectancy, and they lost a lot of money.” Anime Expo and LA Comic Con, massive pop culture conventions that run annually, take place at the same venue. The guest list for Anime Nation Fest included Kyle Hebert, DC Douglas, and Darius Marquis Johnson, typical names for this sort of event. Over on Reddit, similar criticisms emerged. “It took me 20 minutes to see everything, and then I watched the cosplay contest… Unfortunately some categories had zero entries,” writes one user in a thread. “I spent about an hour total. At $35 plus fees, it’s definitely not worth it.” Another user added a bullet-point list of issues, including long opening hours of 11am to 11pm, as well as poor accessibility for sellers bringing stock in and out. “No one from the coordinators were on site at all. It was all third party security, staff, etc,” they write. “The loading dock was locked until 7pm Sunday, so if you wanted to pack up and leave early you had to wheel your stuff very very far to your car.” “After a disaster weekend at Anime Nation Fest, I’m glad to finally be home and not at that dumpster fire anymore,” a third user wrote. So far, Mega Show hasn’t responded or acknowledged the criticisms. We’ve contacted Mega Show for a response, and will update if we hear back.

Here’s the ideal anime to watch after WrestleMania 40 WWEIt’s WrestleMania weekend, and we have the ideal anime series for when the biggest event in sports entertainment comes to a close. Tiger Mask W is a glorious homage to pro wrestling past and present, taking the drama as seriously as anyone who’s ever popped for a surprise pinfall. The anime show is part of the Tiger Mask franchise, following Naoto Azuma, a young up-and-comer who adopts the eponymous moniker, as he leads a brutal inter-company feud into a new era. He’s signed to New Japan Pro Wrestling, who want to topple American institution Global Wrestling Monopoly. In wrestling vernacular, it’s a shonen anime that exists entirely in kayfabe. Everyone’s strength and abilities are real and the stakes are consistently overblown. Masked wrestlers present burning mysteries and there’s much more than pride on the line for winners and losers. Lots of NJPW stars feature, including Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, and Hiroshi Tanahashi. Their caricatures are exuberant extensions of who they are on-screen, and if you’ve never watched NJPW, you’ll want to after meeting them in Tiger Mask W. On the opposing side, there are plenty of light sketches of WWE and WCW greats, such as Becky Lynch (Payne Fox) and Billy Kidman (Billy the Kidman). One of the GCW roster, Odin, takes influence from Gene Simmons of Kiss, so there’s real crossover if you’re into heavy metal. Toei Animation makes the show, and it’s an electric, joyful watch. The wrestling matches are awesome, often taking place in tournaments or with over the top stipulations, and the character work outside the ring carries the narrative, just like in real life. You can find all of Tiger Mask W on Crunchyroll, and there’s no better solution for those post-WrestleMania blues. Our list of the best anime on Crunchyroll has plenty more recommendations as well.

WSJ mangakas pay tribute to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama CrunchyrollA few weeks after the death of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama, all the WSJ mangakas have come together to pay their respects in the latest issue. The creator of Dragon Ball, one of the most popular anime and manga franchises in the world, died at the age of 68 due to acute subdural hematoma. The news was revealed in a statement issued by Shonen Jump a week later. Toriyama originally published Dragon Ball in 1985 and actively worked on it for over four decades. It’s worth mentioning that he was one of the most influential figures in the anime and manga industry. Several artists and actors paid tribute to the legendary mangaka. Although it’s been a few weeks since then, the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue 17 will include other tributes from other artists. The post includes comments from 20 WSJ mangakas, including One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kagurabachi, and so on. One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda’s statement was included in the Shonen Jump announcement. However, the latest issue features an entirely different statement. “Right now, he’s got a halo on his head, and he’s saying ‘Sure, it is tough to be a mangaka’ while building models without a care in the world. I salute you.” Additionally, Oda also announced a three-week hiatus after Toriyama’s death. Toriyama and Oda have both admired each other’s works for decades. Oda is planning to take this time off and focus on his health. The issue doesn’t include a comment from Kohei Horikoshi, the creator of My Hero Academia. The series is on break this week and will return in Issue 18. The mangaka will likely pay his tributes in the next issue. Following the creator’s death, Dragon Ball Super manga is also on an indefinite hiatus after Chapter 103.

Yoru reveals her masterplan to defeat the Chainsaw Man in Chapter 176 Tatsuki Fujimoto/ShueishaChainsaw Man Chapter 176 finally gives Yoru a way to defeat the titular Devil – but not without a sacrifice. As one of the Four Horsemen, Yoru is among the strongest Devils in Chainsaw Man. Yet, she’s nowhere near Pochita, whose power is legendary and includes deleting entire concepts from existence. The stark difference between their power levels is clear when Yoru fights him after Denji goes on a rampage following Nayuta’s horrifying death. In seconds, he’s overwhelmed her, deleting arms from existence, and is about to kill her. In the face of her death, Yoru remembers her conversation with Asa. Chainsaw Man Chapter 176, titled ‘Two Children’, shows the two sitting in a bath together as they discuss the only way to defeat or even stand a chance against Pochita. Asa asks Yoru to bury the hatchet and stop her enmity with the Chainsaw Man. But the War Devil reveals she can’t because Pochita has eaten her comrades and she needs to make him throw them up. What’s more, she even has a way to do so, but it asks for a sacrifice so huge that she hasn’t attempted it yet. However, Yoru is prepared to make the sacrifice now when she’s about to be killed by the Chainsaw Man. In a shocking turn of events, the War Devil calls for her two children – the Gun Devil and the Tank Devil – and uses them as her arms. In a blink of an eye, Yoru slashes through the Chainsaw Man, releasing the Mouth Devil and bringing mouths back into the world. But by doing so, she’s effectively sacrificed her children. However, seeing as she’s the War Devil and possibly the mother of all weapons, maybe Yoru isn’t out of children yet. She must have more and can call upon them all when she needs it. If that’s really true, then she’s currently the only person (or Devil) who can stop the Chainsaw Man. September is going to be an interesting month for a lot of manga, including Tatsuki Fujimoto’s masterpiece. Check out how Oshi no Ko Chapter 159 reveals the real villain and which massive changes the Gorosei face in One Piece Chapter 1125.

Wind Breaker drops new Gojo reference after shocking twist in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 CrunchyrollAfter the latest twist in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 shocked the whole fandom, Wind Breaker just dropped a Gojo reference that has viewers remembering the beloved character. Jujutsu Kaisen is currently trending all over the world after its shocking twist in Chapter 261. The popular character Satoru Gojo comes back from the dead, but with a catch: Gojo isn’t himself anymore, as his body is now a vessel for Yuta Okkotsu. While fans are still reeling from this, the new anime Wind Breaker has a scene in its newly released Episode 8 that nods to Gojo, showing Hajime Umemiya as his fight against Choji Tomiyama begins. Since his first introduction in the Wind Breaker anime, Umemiya caught viewers’ attention with his striking similarities to Gojo. Like Gojo, he has white hair and is one of the strongest characters in his series. They also share the same Japanese voice actor: Yuichi Nakamura. Other than that, they are both cheerful characters with a streak of goofiness. But when the situation calls for it, both Umemiya and Gojo stand up to the occasion. The death of Gojo had a lot of Jujutsu Kaisen fans upset. So, Umemiya’s presence in the Spring 2024 anime has acted as a fond reminder of Gojo for them. However, one certain scene in Wind Breaker Episode 8 takes the similarity between Gojo and Umemiya to a whole other level. Bofurin’s leader Umemiya begins his fight against Shishitoren’s leader Tomiyama, which is expected to be intense since both characters are very powerful. Just as the fight begins, Umemiya says, “I’m 100% sure I won’t lose.” This line reminds fans of Gojo’s famous line just as he’s about to begin his fight against Sukuna: “Nah, I’d win.” Hearing this line in the voice of Yuichi Nakamura, who’s also the voice behind Gojo, makes viewers remember the popular character all the more. Fans can’t keep calm after noticing this similarity as one user comments on X, “This is the universe where Gojo wins.” Another user shares, “I got mad chills.” A third fan adds, “Good enough, welcome back, Gojo.” Now that Gojo’s return is canonically impossible in Jujutsu Kaisen, fans are rooting for Umemiya. What happens in his fight with Tomiyama will be revealed in Episode 9, scheduled to air on May 30, 2024. On the other hand, Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter 261 will be released on May 26, 2024.

Wit Studio might solve the biggest problem with One Piece CrunchyrollWit Studio is currently working on the One Piece anime remake project – and it might solve the biggest problem with the series. One Piece is one of the most successful anime and manga franchises of all time. The series also received global recognition after Netflix adapted the East Blue Saga into a live-action version. Jump Festa 2024 made a major announcement about Netflix partnering with Wit Studio to create a One Piece remake. The remake will also adapt the East Blue Saga, the first Saga of the series where Luffy begins his journey and gathers the best crew in the world. The adaptation is currently under production and has yet to reveal a release window. Naturally, fans have mixed reactions about the remake. However, it’s still highly anticipated. While both studios are vastly different in their work, Wit Studio is still a reputable studio like Toei Animation. Here’s how Wit Studio can solve the biggest problem with One Piece. Wit Studio might have a different pacing than the original One Piece anime One of the biggest problems fans face with One Piece is the pacing. The anime has been adapting one chapter per episode for several years. Usually, an average anime episode will have at least three to four chapters within 20 minutes of screen time. However, since Wit Studio is currently working on the One Piece remake, it might do things differently than Toei Animation. Wit Studio is also responsible for Jojo’s Bizzare Adventures. A Twitter user shared that the One Piece manga has more than 23,000 pages, while Jojo’s Bizzare Adventures has surpassed 25,000. However, the number of episodes varies significantly. Toei’s legacy runs for decades and it thrived during the time when long-running series were a norm. Although the studio is still popular now, times have changed. Now, new-gen anime like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen air every few years with new seasons. Each season has varying episodes ranging from 12 to 26. However, One Piece anime from Toei Animation has been continuously airing since 1999. The East Blue Saga has 100 chapters in the manga and 53 episodes in the anime. Although Wit Studio has yet to announce the number of episodes, it surely won’t be as many as the original. If the studio decides to reduce the episodes, then the pacing might change for the better. One Piece leaker Pewpiece shared: “About Onepiece new remake by Wit & Netflix. It will be a complete remake from East Blue with better pacing and will make a lot start One Piece!! It’s a dream coming true” In another post, Pewpiece also shared: “Did you know that if One Piece received a well-paced adaptation by Wit Studio, the entire series could be adapted in 200-300 episodes only.”

Will One Piece anime be delayed due to manga breaks? Toei AnimationThe One Piece manga continues to have consistent hiatuses, but does that mean the anime will be delayed as well? The One Piece anime and manga are both currently following the Egghead Arc of the Final Saga. However, while the anime airs weekly episodes, the manga often goes on unexpected hiatuses. This is especially true in Egghead Arc. It’s the first arc of the Final Saga where Straw Hats enter a futuristic island and meet the genius scientist Vegapunk. We also learn a lot about the mysteries of the Void Century. One Piece only recently returned after a three-week hiatus before delaying Chapter 1114 due to Golden Week. However, the manga is going on a break again after the Golden Week. Although the reason is unknown, it could be because of Oda’s health or his busy schedule. Even so, things don’t look good for the anime, which is already catching up with the manga. Does that mean there will be further delays in One Piece anime due to consecutive manga breaks? Will One Piece anime be delayed? Although there are several manga breaks, there’s no news about the One Piece anime getting delayed for now. That said, the anime catching up to the manga would leave very little material for the animation studio to work on. If that happens, the pacing might slow down even more or we might get more recaps. Every few weeks, the anime airs recaps. The pacing is something manga fans always complain about. However, it wouldn’t be possible for Toei Animation to make One Piece a weekly anime if it had regular pacing. This is also one of the reasons why One Piece has such a small percentage of filler episodes compared to other long-running anime. Just like before Luffy vs. Lucci and Law vs. Blackbeard, there might be more recaps before Shanks vs. Eustass Kid, Luffy vs. Kizaru, or Garp vs. Blackbeard Pirates. The anime has just revealed Bonney is Kuma’s daughter but has yet to delve deeper into it, unlike the manga. The upcoming episode of the anime will likely tease both Kid and Garp going into enemy territories. For now, the reason behind manga hiatus is unknown. We will update this space once we have more information about it. In the meantime, you can check out One Piece Chapter 1114 spoilers.

Will Shadow Eliminators replace Jujutsu Kaisen? Weekly Shonen JumpNew manga series Shadow Eliminators has all the hallmarks of a hit manga. But could it really take Jujutsu Kaisen’s place in fans hearts? The latest manga to debut in Weekly Shonen Jump is the supernatural high school action thriller Shadow Eliminators. Written by one-shot Shikigami author Kento Amemiya, the manga officially made its debut on December 3, and it’s already got fans talking that it could fill Jujutsu Kaisen’s giant shoes. After all, it’s got a similar premise, promising characters and paranormal elements. With speculation swirling that Gege Akutami’s shonen giant Jujutsu Kaisen could end in 2024, and some fans turning away from the series due to significant disappointment with the dark plot, could Shadow Eliminators take its place in fans hearts? Let’s take a look. What is Shadow Eliminators about? Shonen Jump Magazine’s Twitter page provides a quick synopsis for anyone interested in reading the series. Shadow Eliminators has only just begun. So, of course, we can’t know the full plot or even the intricate details of this new supernatural world. However, we do have a basic premise: set in a high school, the story follows a student with a strong sense of justice that’s put to the test when otherworldly beings break his understanding of everything he knows. Over the course of the story, the student and his friends fight the paranormal when shadows of the heart manifest as monstrous beings. Shadow Eliminators similarities to Jujutsu Kaisen Shadow Eliminators is predicted to be the next big thing after Jujutsu Kaisen. With a similar premise and fans frustration with Gege Akutami growing, it’s easy to see why. But let’s take a closer look. Just like Jujutsu Kaisen’s curses, Shadow Eliminators has malicious spirits of its own. But these malicious spirits are called Threads instead. Possibly taken straight from Jujutsu Kaisen lore, the malicious threads are born out of strong negative emotions and take a physical form in the human world as creatures called the Kasane. While possessions don’t typically happen in Jujutsu Kaisen (apart from with Geto and Kenjaku, and Yuta and Rika), the Kasane in Shadow Eliminators are more likely to have a direct effect on the people around them. Yuji Itadori, with his bubbly personality and determination, is one of the characters which first drew fans into the Jujutsu Kaisen universe. And Shadow Eliminators has a Yuji-type character of its own, seen in the form of main protagonist Yayoi Asakaze. In Jujutsu Kaisen, Itadori gained his strong desire to protect others due to his dying grandfather’s wishes. Yayoi Asakaze is also influenced by his grandfather. Yayoi’s grandfather is a former cop whose influenced his desire to protect others from injustice. As well as this, just like how Itadori was a seemingly normal guy who stumbled into the world of sorcerers, Yayoi also initially lacks any powers – although this could change as the series develops. While he doesn’t have powers, he still decides to confront a terrifying Kasane and help a powerful sorcerer to defeat it. (Is the plot ringing any bells yet?). Shadow Eliminators fan reactions Only one chapter of Shadow Eliminators has been released, so we can’t exactly say it’s a carbon copy of Jujutsu Kaisen yet. Although, if the similarities continue, we can only hope that mangaka Kento Amemiya decides to kill less characters. Of course fans are already pointing out the similarities between this new series and Jujutsu Kaisen. As well as questioning the English translation of the name, which has been accused of being “generic”. However, it has also attracted quite a bit of positive attention. With one fan even going so far as questioning whether Shadow Eliminators could be a top 10 manga of all time. Why don’t you check it out for yourself on Shonen Jump? With the sheer number of titles that are getting axed every month (is Shonen Jump falling prey to the Netflix Original series curse?), who knows if it’ll be around for long. But at present, many Jujutsu Kaisen fans are hopeful that they’ve found the next big thing. While you’re here, why not see some of our Jujutsu Kaisen coverage?

Will there be a Haikyuu!! Season 5? CrunchyrollWith the new movie preparing for its global debut in theaters, Haikyuu!! Season 4 Part 2 came out all the way back in 2020. So, will there be a Haikyuu!! Season 5 anytime soon? Haikyuu!! anime is based on the popular sports manga series by Haruichi Furudate. The story follows Shoyo Hinata, a high school student passionate about volleyball. Despite his agility and jumping power, his height has always been a hindrance for him. However, Shoyo meets his previous rival, Tobio Kageyama, a genius setter who brings out the best in him. He joins the Karasuno’s Volleyball Team as he strives to follow in the footsteps of his idol, the Tiny Giant. They start out with an average team, but with constant practice and determination, Karasuno High School has reached all the way to the nationals, where they face more powerful teams. It is one of the best anime around, and we’re delighted to have a new movie to watch, but we’ve been waiting four years and counting for more from the show… so why isn’t Haikyuu!! Season 5 out yet? Is Haikyuu!! renewed for Season 5? Currently, there’s no confirmation for Haikyuu!! Season 5. Haikyuu!! released The Dumpster Battle movie after Season 4 Part 2. The final movie will be released in two parts. The first part covers Karasuno vs. Nekoma, and the second part features Karasuno vs. Kamonedai. There is no certainty on the release date of when the second Haikyuu!! film will be released. However, even after the nationals, the story continues with the time-skip sequences, the Brazil arc, Oikawa’s victorious homecoming, and the present locations of the key characters must be incorporated into the plot. Hence, we can still expect a fifth season after the release of the second movie. As per Crunchyroll, the official synopsis of Haikyuu!! reads, “Based off of the original Weekly Shonen Jump manga series from Haruichi Furudate, Haikyu!! is a slice-of-life sports anime revolving around Shoyo Hinata’s love of volleyball. Inspired by a small-statured pro volleyball player, Hinata created a volleyball team in his last year of middle school. “Unfortunately, the team is matched up against the “King of the Court” Tobio Kageyama’s team in their first tournament and inevitably lose. After the crushing defeat, Hinata vows to surpass Kageyama After entering high school, Hinata joins the volleyball team only to find that Tobio has also joined.” For more from Haikyuu!! you can check out the global release dates of Haikyuu!! movie.

Why One Piece live-action could have 12 seasons NetflixOne Piece live-action has just been renewed for Season 2. However, the producers hint that it might cover the entire manga in 12 seasons. One Piece live-action debuted with its first season only two weeks ago, but it has already been renewed for another season. The series is based on the popular manga by Eiichiro Oda. It follows the adventures of a young pirate, Monkey D. Luffy, who aspires to become the Pirate King. Netflix’s version only adapts the first five arcs of the East Blue Saga. Therefore, Luffy has an incredible journey ahead of him after he enters Grand Line. No doubt fans would love to watch more of it. One Piece is incredibly long, as the manga is currently publishing its 11th and final Saga. In a video message, Eiichiro Oda announced One Piece live-action Season 2. He also teased the appearance of Tony Tony Chopper, the crew’s doctor. Delve deeper to find out why One Piece live-action is likely to have 12 seasons. One Piece producers hope for multiple seasons in a six-year plan In an interview with Deadline, One Piece executive producers Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios discussed how even skeptical manga and anime fans are embracing the live-action adaptation. During the interview, Marty Adelstein shares, “We have hopes for 12 seasons; there’s so much material.” Agreeing with him, Becky Clements says, “We’re over 1,080 chapters at this point in the manga. We have plans with Matt Owens for how we would break multiple seasons, and I think even if we did six seasons, we would probably only use up half of the chapters of the manga. It really could go on and on and on.” When asked about the next few seasons, Becky says, “Everything we do is in concert with Netflix, [manga publisher] Shueisha, and Oda-san; they are a part of that conversation. We’ve definitely had more thorough conversations about what we would do with Season 2 should we have the opportunity and then less extensive conversations about where we would go for seasons three to six. “The one thing I would say is that we’re all unified in the parts of the manga that you just absolutely cannot eliminate, and that’s our guiding principle: the stories that we know and the characters that we know are important to the fans.” The first season doesn’t fully adapt to the East Blue Saga. Considering the pacing and the limited number of episodes, One Piece live-action certainly requires at least 12 seasons to fully adapt the series. The manga is still ongoing and about to begin its Final Saga’s second arc. Hence, we still have a few years before Eiichiro Oda concludes this epic tale. Find out what we know about the second season here. One Piece live-action is currently streaming on Netflix, and the anime is available on Crunchyroll.

Why Studio Ghibli changed The Boy and the Heron’s title TohoHayao Miyazaki’s The Boy and the Heron is the new title requested by the Studio Ghibli producer – here’s why he decided on this title. Originally titled ‘How Do You Live?’ for its Japanese release, the movie’s title was changed to The Boy and the Heron. It was supposed to be Hayao Miyazaki’s last film, but the director decided to continue his career after its success. The Japanese title references Genzaburo Yoshino’s 1937 novel of the same name, which appears in the film, but the film contains an original tale that is unrelated to the novel. The film was critically acclaimed and made over $97 million worldwide. It received numerous nominations, including Golden Globe Awards for Best Animated Film and Best Original Score. Even months after the film’s success, the reason behind the title change remained unknown until recently. Delve deeper to find out why Studio Ghibli co-founder and producer Toshio Suzuki requested a title change for the worldwide release. Why was the title of The Boy and the Heron changed? In an interview with IndieWire, GKIDS President Dave Jesteadt explained: “There was a total press blackout on the film in line with the release in Japan, but because of our long relationship with Ghibli, we asked if we would be able to announce that we had the rights, as we needed to be able to set up a big fall release. “It was at that time that Suzuki asked for a title change. The call came from inside the house. I can’t speak to the exact reasons for the title change, but I think there was a desire to move away from the name of the book, as people were constantly mistaking the movie for an adaptation.” The film has the same title as the 1937 novel that inspired Miyazaki. However, since the story is different, Studio Ghibli decided to change the title. In the same interview, Jesteadt also spoke about how they went through several potential titles. “We talked about ‘The Tower Master’ or ‘The Grand Uncle’, and our feeling was that they felt a little too much like hard fantasy. “We tried a lot of different permutations of ‘How Do You Live?’ but ended up choosing the option closest to Suzuki’s original suggestion.” He also revealed there’s a hidden meaning behind the new title: “Miyazaki based the characters in this movie on people in his life…and the heron is based on Suzuki. To me, there’s something very meta and very funny about this heron — this trickster — inserting himself into the situation and suggesting we give the movie an international title [with his name in it].” The Boy and the Heron is in cinemas now.

Why the One Piece live-action will be different from the anime NetflixWith One Piece live-action just a few weeks away, the dread and anticipation keep increasing, especially among anime fans. However, anime fans may be in for a shock after realizing these significant differences in both adaptations. One Piece live-action series will cover the East Blue Saga in its first season. Considering the bad reputation of live-action adaptations, Netflix is pulling out all stops at its disposal to make this series a success. Furthermore, Eiichiro Oda’s stamp of approval is enough to assure fans that the adaptation will live up to its hype. Bringing cartoonish characters and scenery to life is never easy, especially for a series like One Piece, which is not only beautifully written but also well-received across the globe. Therefore, a completely different adaptation is sure to attract mixed reviews. However, the One Piece live-action and the anime adaptations will be very different for two main reasons. The target audience is different in One Piece anime and live-action series One Piece manga and anime series are marketed toward the young audience, primarily teens. While it often has moments where things get mature and dark, it’s overall dominated by childish humor, consequences that vanish after a few chapters, etc. As a shonen series, Oda tries his best to perfectly balance intense fights and hearty moments. On the other hand, the Netflix adaptation is targeted toward the older audience. Those who have watched the teaser trailer may have noticed that the characters seem more mature than usual. This is especially the case with the Straw Hats, whose usual goofiness is missing. However, it’s more than just a coincidence since the characters are supposed to look that way. Whether or not that’s a good change is something we can decide once the series is out. Nonetheless, because of this “small” change, the overall vibe of the series will change significantly, and the comedy will be toned down a little. The pacing will be significantly different in the Netflix adaptation The Netflix adaptation will cover the East Blue Saga in its first season. It has a total of 61 episodes in the anime and 100 chapters in the manga. Therefore, One Piece live-action will cover 61 episodes of anime in mere eight episodes. Therefore, Netflix will narrow down a ton of scenes and characters to incorporate the main storyline within these episodes. Luckily, scenes such as Zoro vs Mihawk, the barrel scene, or any iconic scene that has some significance in the main story will not be removed from the Netflix adaptation. The One Piece anime can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Why was the Bleach anime cancelled? CrunchyrollSeveral rumours circulated regarding the discontinuation of Bleach anime back in 2012. Here’s why one of the Shonen Big Three, Bleach, was cancelled. During the 2000s, what some anime fans might call the golden era of the Shonen genre, Bleach stood at the pinnacle alongside One Piece and Naruto. Even now, it has the title of the Shonen Big Three. Although fans are able to watch the final arc being adapted into an anime, it still makes one wonder why it took ten long years. Back in 2012, the anime was not postponed but rather cancelled. While One Piece and Naruto continued to soar in popularity, Bleach fans could only turn to the manga for the final arc. During the manga’s 20th anniversary, the anime adaptation of TYBW was announced, creating quite a stir on social media. The series returns with stellar animation with the same fan-favourite characters. Even after the ten-year-long wait, the fandom is more than happy to watch their favourite series. Delve deeper to find out the reason Bleach was cancelled in 2012. Bleach was cancelled due to low sales and ratings Believe it or not, the series ended abruptly because the anime studio started suffering losses after failing to attract viewers. Back then, long-running series was a norm, and with every week, the series got fewer viewers. Although there was no official announcement, it’s not difficult to see why the series fell from grace. Half of the series was fillers, and terrible ones at that. It’s easy for fans to lose interest when they get meaningless episodes for months. Although Naruto has the same amount of fillers, it was still able to redeem itself by completely animating the final arc with intense battle scenes. Furthermore, the manga was already losing popularity after the Soul Society arc. By the time Aizen was defeated, the series completely lost its charm. It was left dangling with fillers and redundant arcs. Even the time couldn’t save the story, which is quite unusual. Nonetheless, the final arc is different because of its action-packed scenes and power boosts. Although it may not relive its past glory since the manga ending was not well-received, the new anime adaptation might save Bleach after it was cancelled over a decade ago. Bleach can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll and Netflix.

Will Dragon Ball Daima have new transformations? Anime insider shares details ToeiThe newest Dragon Ball anime is set to arrive in 2024 with the release of Dragon Ball Daima, but will Goku and Vegeta be given new Super Saiyan forms? A new report has cast doubt on that possibility. Dragon Ball Daima was officially announced at New York Comic Con during a special panel that revealed the first trailer for the new anime, confirming an assortment of leaks in the process. The series will see Goku, Piccolo, Android 18, Vegeta, and the rest of the cast turn back into kids, who will need to go on an adventure to return to their adult selves. Although not much is known about Dragon Ball Daima so far, an insider has revealed what fans can expect in the way of new forms in the upcoming anime after coming off the heels of the transformation-filled Dragon Ball Super. Insider updates fans on new transformations in Dragon Ball Daima In a series of posts on X, insider Anime Ajay shared numerous things he had learned about Dragon Ball Daima and how the show will differ from the likes of DBZ, GT, and Super. According to Ajay, Daima will have a major emphasis on hand-to-hand combat and traditional weapons. This is evident in the trailer when we see Goku whip out the Nyoibou, also known as The Power Pole. Ajay continued to state that unlike Dragon Ball Super, the combat in Daima will revolve a lot less around ki blasts. As such, the focus is being put on Goku and others improving as martial artists and not leveling up through new forms. “Don’t hold your breath for DBS transformation stuff especially,” Ajay wrote. This is bad news for anyone expecting Daima to suddenly incorporate GT’s SSJ 4 form or a new version of Super Saiyan God, but the insider didn’t rule them out completely, so there’s still a chance we see a new form down the line – but don’t hold out hope. For more on Dragon Ball Daima, check out Akira Toriyama’s comments about his involvement in the upcoming series.

Why isn’t there One Piece chapter 1087 this week? Viz MediaOne Piece recently concluded its Reverie flashback after unveiling various new secrets, leaving fans hoping for more. However, the series didn’t release One Piece chapter 1087 this week. One Piece’s Final Saga has been a continuous stream of surprising moments. Fans finally learn the truth behind the secret name “D,” the existence of God’s Knights and their commanders.

When it happens, it will change the entire world. For now, all fans know is that every secret unveiled in the Reverie flashback will have an impact on the story later on.

Why isn’t there One Piece chapter 1090 this week? CrunchyrollWith the Straw Hats’ adventures getting resumed in the recent chapter, One Piece couldn’t have chosen a worse time for the delay of chapter 1090. Here’s the reason behind it. One Piece’s recent chapter features the world’s reaction to Garp’s defeat at Hachinosu. As a Marine Hero, Garp is highly reputable and known for his unparalleled strength. This is why his defeat is a major blow to anyone who personally knows him. On the other hand, the world suffers the terrible aftermath of the Lulusia Kingdom’s destruction. Several parts of the world are facing natural disasters as the global sea level rises to approximately one meter. Amid all the chaos, the Straw Hats, Vegapunk, and Jewelry Bonney are shown at the end of the chapter. As One Piece leaves fans hoping to see more of what’s happening at Egghead Island, chapter 1090 gets delayed at the worst possible time. One Piece chapter 1090 is delayed because of Shonen Jump One Piece chapter 1090 is expected to release on August 21 at 12am JST. The delay is because Shounen Jump is taking a break due to a festival holiday in Japan. Ever since the start of the Final Saga, One Piece has been going on several hiatus. It wasn’t long before the series made a comeback after a month-long break. Since then, it has already gone on two more breaks. However, all Shonen Jump mangas have been postponed this time because of the holiday. The Final Saga reveals several major secrets about the Void Century and features all the important events happening worldwide. As the series focuses on the Reverie flashback, the defeat of Kid and Heart Pirates, and the incident at Hachinosu, the Straw Hats’ adventures have taken a back seat. The recent chapter, however, features them for a brief moment, only to take a break again. According to One Piece leaker, chapter 1090 is going to be incredibly amazing. That’s a given considering we will watch Admiral Kizaru in action after a very long time. He is one of the strongest characters in the series, who appeared during the Sabaody and Marineford Wars arc. However, ever since the war, Kizaru has barely made any appearances. However, now he is arriving at Egghead Island to capture Vegapunk and get his hands on the Straw Hats. Although the crew has become incredibly strong after the time skip, it will be interesting to see how they measure up against the Admiral. Click Here to check the spoilers for One Piece chapter 1090.

Why isn’t there One Piece chapter 1092 this week? CrunchyrollOne Piece chapter 1092 will feature the fight between Luffy and Kizaru. However, the manga is yet again postponed this week. Read more to find out why. One Piece has been going on consecutive breaks for a few months now. The series has only recently begun Luffy’s adventures as well as confirmed an Elbaf arc. The recent chapter features the clash between Luffy and Kizaru. Let’s also not forget about the traitorous Lucci, who attempted to kill Vegapunk again, so Zoro had to stop him. With Oda’s surgery and the live-action, the manga has been side-lined. The manga is in a crucial phase right now as it is transitioning between arcs. On the bright side, One Piece fans have been really supportive of their favorite mangaka. They’re all mostly concerned about his health despite wanting to see more of Luffy’s adventures. Delve deeper to find out why One Piece chapter 1092 is delayed. One Piece chapter 1092 is delayed because of the live-action series The reason behind the delay is the same as usual – Eiichiro Oda’s busy schedule regarding the live-action promotional tours and interviews. He has been part of the live-action production team since the beginning. As an executive director, he has countless responsibilities. The mangaka overlooked every minor detail of the production. He was recently spotted in California at the world premiere of Netflix’s One Piece live-action series, giving various interviews. However, now that the live-action has made its grand debut and become a global success, Oda can finally get a breather. He will now focus on his manga and drop the chapters on regular schedules. After One Piece chapter 1092, we can expect consecutive chapters. However, like every major mangaka, Oda will continue taking breaks every 3-4 weeks. That’s still reasonable since these breaks are very crucial for the mangaka as they get the much-needed rest. One Piece chapter 1092 will mostly feature Luffy engaging Kizaru in a one-on-one as well as Zoro fighting Rob Lucci. The recent chapter only shows him kicking Kizaru, and the latter easily blocks it. So, there’s a chance that we might see some more action in the upcoming episode where Luffy will give a tough time to the Marine Admiral. Now that Luffy and Kizaru exchange blows once again, their impending fight is going to be even more epic than the previous times. Not to mention Zoro, who has also come a long way. The Egghead arc is almost over, and the series is heading toward the upcoming Elbaf arc. Therefore, we may not see a prolonged fight.

Why isn’t there One Piece Episode 1066 this week? CrunchyrollOne Piece’s Wano Saga has been releasing one epic episode after another. Following Sanji’s and Zoro’s battles, the series is now focusing on Kid and Law’s battle against Big Mom. Here’s why there is no One Piece Episode 1066 this week. One Piece recently released a recap episode instead of Episode 1066. It will feature Law and Kid stopping Big Mom from joining Kaido in battle. The series has deviated from Luffy and Kaido’s fight for a while now as fans witness the other major battles. The previous episode teases the fight against the Yonko Big Mom as Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid join hands to stop her from interfering in Luffy’s battle. One Piece Episode 1066 is supposed to cover. Although hiatuses in One Piece episodes and manga chapters aren’t rare, it’s rare that the episode will be replaced by recaps. Delve deeper to find out why there isn’t One Piece Episode 1066 this week. One Piece Episode 1066 is delayed for Luffy’s Gear 5 episode One Piece Episode 1066, titled “The Main Attraction is Coming! Ultimate Attack of Shockwave and Magnetism,” will release on June 25 at 9:30 am JST. Although there has been no official announcement regarding the reason for the delay, it is highly likely that it is because the production studio needs to air Luffy’s Gear 5 on One Piece Day. One Piece Day has been held on July 21 and 22 every year since 2017. Last year, One Piece Film: Red was released during this time, which became a global hit. Therefore, following that, the series needs to introduce something equally great, if not more, for this year’s celebration. One Piece can currently be streamed on Crunchyroll.

Why isn’t there One Piece Episode 1101 this week? CrunchyrollIn the recent episode, One Piece featured Gear 5 again after a few months – but Episode 1101 has been delayed. One Piece‘s anime is currently following the Egghead Arc of the Final Saga. The arc debuted in January 2024 and has featured a lot of thrilling moments already. The recent episode introduced Gear 5 in a new art style, and fans were absolutely thrilled about watching their favorite transformation again. CP0 enters Egghead under orders from Gorosei to kill Vegapunk and find the crew there. Luffy and Rob Lucci already fought on Enies Lobby before the time skip, so this episode marks their rematch. Rob Lucci is confident about his victory since he has awakened his devil fruit powers. However, he’s not the only one who has grown over the years. Luffy’s powers of the Sun God are too overwhelming. One Piece Episode 1101 will continue their battle, but it has been delayed. Why One Piece Episode 1101 has been delayed One Piece Episode 1101 will officially air on April 21. The delay is due to the animation studio. Since there’s a recap episode broadcasting next week, there isn’t any other programming lined up for that time slot. On April 14, the recap will feature flashbacks from Enies Lobby and the crew’s fight with Cipher Pol to save Robin. The series often airs recaps every few weeks to stay a little behind the manga. This helps the studio have enough material to adapt in the long run and avoid fillers altogether. Although One Piece has been airing continuously since 1999, it has way fewer fillers compared to other long-running series. The anime is hyping up Luffy’s rematch with Rob Lucci with the flashback. In Enies Lobby, the fight between those was intense. It is still considered one of the best battles in the series. Even so, Sakazuki knows Luffy’s strength and orders Lucci not to fight him until Kizaru arrives with backup. Things don’t go the way he planned as Lucci shows off his newly awakened powers. Amid all that, Vegapunk explains his theory surrounding the origins of devil fruit. He says that devil fruits are manifestations of the desire to see how different paths of evolution can play out. These powers are born out of limitless permutations of imagination. Therefore, each one of these powers showcases a different possibility for the future of humanity.

Why One Piece leakers are warning fans about Chapter 1098 CrunchyrollOne Piece Chapter 1098 features a rare case in the series’ history as leakers are warning fans about it. Here’s everything you need to know. The One Piece manga has once again sidelined Luffy’s adventures as the series is currently focusing on Kuma’s backstory. Egghead Island arc has revealed countless mysteries, but nothing is as shocking as the ongoing backstory. The series also reveals the truth behind the God Valley Incident since Kuma was also there. The flashback will continue for a few more chapters as we might get all the answers about Kuma’s transition into Pacifista. One Piece Chapter 1098 is all set to release this weekend, but leakers have a special message for fans. The chapter is not quite what one would expect, but it’s a rare case in the history of One Piece. Delve deeper to find out more. What are leakers saying about One Piece Chapter 1098? One Piece leaker PewPiece confirmed that Eiichiro Oda didn’t manage to submit the full manuscript for Chapter 1098. He shares, “Oda couldn’t finish drawing the chapter this week. The quality is really bad, and there are a lot of scribbles. I’m worried about him.” Another leaker made a special request to fans before releasing spoilers, “I hope you guys will not complain or criticize Oda for some draft scenes in Chapter 1098. According to leaker Pewpiece, the quality of the chapter is bad.” One Piece Chapter 1098 is set to reveal the truth behind Ginny’s kidnapping and is one of the darkest chapters in the series. Although the Shonen Jump issue might appear incomplete with the rough drafts and scribbles, there’s a chance Oda might fix it in the volume version. Nonetheless, not being able to submit the full manuscript by the deadline is definitely unusual and a rare case in the series’ history. However, it makes sense, considering that the author has been too busy this year. 2023 has been an incredible year for One Piece, with the Gear 5 anime adaptation, Netflix’s live-action series, and the manga unraveling several mysteries in the Final Saga. Eiichiro Oda is also taking a break next week, so chapter 1099 has been delayed. Additionally, the fact that Chapter 1097 only has 13 pages confirms the author’s busy schedule.

Why isn’t there Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 this week? CrunchyrollWith the second round just starting, the series couldn’t have taken the worst time for a break. However, why Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 was delayed? Jujutsu Kaisen manga is currently featuring the greatest battle of the era as the strongest sorcerer alive and the strongest sorcerer in history finally clash. The fight between Gojo and Sukuna has been foreshadowed since the beginning of the series. The first round of the battle was a back-to-back clash of domains. However, in the second round, things are finally changing. Gojo is still as confident as ever about his victory. The strongest sorcerer alive is up against the most powerful rival he has ever faced. However, instead of considering Sukuna a threat, Gojo talks about showing off his skills to his students. In the recent chapter, Gojo is completely having fun beating Sukuna all around. However, the Jujutsu Kaisen manga has taken yet another break as chapter 232 is delayed. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 is delayed because of Shonen Jump Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 is expected to release on 20 August at 12am JST. The delay is because Shounen Jump is taking a break due to a festival holiday in Japan. Ever since the start of the battle, the series has been going on several breaks. Recently, chapter 230 was also delayed, and now that the second round has finally begun, the series takes yet another long hiatus. The fight keeps readers intrigued as they witness the most intriguing battle the series has ever shown. The fight has been going on for a while, and neither side shows any sign of backing down. Luckily, in chapter 231, Gojo finally gains the upper hand and seems to be ready to counterattack any tricks Sukuna has up his sleeve. In the recent chapter, Gojo makes a bold declaration to kill Sukuna before he has time to adapt to his Infinity. Not to mention, Hana Kurusu’s concern regarding Gojo forgetting Megumi is very alarming. Amid the thrill of the battle, it seems many have forgotten that Sukuna has actually possessed Megumi’s body, and it won’t be easy to defeat Sukuna and save Megumi at the same time. Therefore, the break is all the more agonizing as the chapter ends on a cliffhanger. Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 232 is likely to keep the momentum as Gojo continues to beat Sukuna. Nonetheless, Sukuna has displayed extreme cunning in recent chapters. It won’t bode well for fans’ beloved Gojo if the villain uses another cheap trick again.
