Apex Legends devs promise Bocek Bow nerf “coming soon” for OP weapon Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends Season 9 introduced many new bits and pieces, including the controversial Bocek Bow, which is now set to receive a nerf after many claimed it was too overpowered in the popular battle royale. Apex Legends players have mixed feelings about the new Bocek Bow. On the one hand, some believe it has been a welcome addition to the game and gives players a chance to style on their opponents with some Rambo-like flair. But on the other hand, it’s widely considered too overpowered, and many have called for it to be nerfed, including pro star Phillip ‘ImperialHal’ Dosen. And now, it seems, Apex Legends fans are finally getting their way. Jack ‘NiceWigg’ Martin, a professional gamer and streamer who has been playing lots of Apex Legends lately, shared his thoughts on Season 9. He had many positive things to say about it. However, he was less enthusiastic about the Bocek Bow, claiming it was single-handedly “ruining” the game. Bow nerf confirmed “Bow is completely turning me off from taking fights, though,” he said. “Feel like I’m fighting in a survival game. Not sure how it is in pubs etc., but at [the] top play level, it actually might be the worst meta ever. Hoping for a nerf soon because holy f**k I have fun when that fun isn’t around.” Read More: How to use the Bocek Bow in Apex Legends – David Bocek, the developer who the bow is named after, responded to the feedback and confirmed a “nerf is coming soon!” We’ll have to wait and see what the nerf entails and when it will happen. It could be anything from reduced damage, limited attachments, lower accuracy, or a combination of them all. Either way, it’s music to the ears of the masses who have fallen victim to the bow.

Bloodhound’s Apex Legends Season 4 ultimate buff is insanely powerful Respawn Ent.Apex Legends Season 4: Assimilation only saw a couple of changes to the current cast of Legends, one of them being a powerful buff to Bloodhound’s ‘Beast of the Hunt’ Ultimate Ability. The fourth season of Apex Legends may focus on the newest legend, Revenant, but it’s also has proven big for one of the game’s original characters, Bloodhound. An expert tracker that has been part of the original cast since the game’s release, fans have long been calling out for a buff to Bloodhound for a while, as the character had fallen out of the popular rotation of Legends. That buff came in the Season 4 patch, which gave a considerable boost to Bloodhound’s ult, as each player the Legend downs while the Beast of the Hunt is active adds an additional five seconds to its duration. Theoretically, if a player successively downs enemies right after activating the ability, they can extend its duration by a good amount, even past its original time. Apex players are already experiencing the benefits of this new buff to Bloodhound’s ability to be a late-game closer. One user on the game’s subreddit showed off a beautiful clutch highlight showing how powerful the buff makes this Ultimate Ability. Bloodhound’s ul is already a huge advantage for late-game fights, thanks to its speed boost and active tracking abilities. But when the extra time gets added for knockdowns, it allows to player to snowball in the clutch, and the character only gets deadlier by downing more and more opponents. In the clip from reddit user ‘danthemandoris’, the player knocked down five opponents over the course of a minute, adding twenty-five additional seconds to their Hunt. Their ultimate lasted for an entire minute and was the difference-maker between defeat and victory. The buff to Bloodhound’s ultimate was really the only significant change to any of the Legends heroes in the latest patch. There were a lot more changes to weapons balancing and the loot system, as well as new weapons, map changes, battle pass, and of course, the newest character, Revenant.

Bloodhound Town Takeover details leaked for Apex Legends Season 4 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends’ next Town Takeover event looks set to be based around Bloodhound and might well begin at the end of this month, according to new information found in the game’s code following the Override update. The battle royale title has already had three Town Takeover events since its release in February last year. Octane’s added a racecourse filled with launch pads and fire, while Wraith’s summoned a huge teleporting portal above King’s Canyon. Most recently, Mirage celebrated Christmas with the arrival of his ‘Mirage Voyage’ on World’s Edge. The self-centered trickster’s limited-time event also added an X-Mas train that barreled around the map for just over a week. Since Mirage’s holiday takeover, Respawn have been relatively quiet about which legend would be the next to get a dedicated event, but a change in the game’s code looks to have finally provided us with the details we need. Bloodhound’s Town Takeover has been in the title’s base code for some time, but after the Override update, data miners have discovered even more details about the Technological Tracker’s upcoming big day. When will Bloodhound’s Town Takeover start? According to newly-added files loaded into the Apex Legends code, and confirmed by info revealed by popular data miner Shrugtal, the takeover’s teasers will begin in-game at the end of the month on Tuesday, March 31. Last time around, these teasers took the form of work zones surrounding the area in World’s Edge, where Mirage’s colorful barge would eventually land. Considering Bloodhound’s event will likely be similar, the teasers could take the same form. Knowing the start date for the in-game teasers also allows us to extrapolate that into when the event itself may launch. Most early previews come a week before the actual takeovers, meaning we’d be looking at April 7 this time around. Bloodhound TT Teaser @ Mar 31, 10 am PST pic.twitter.com/rsOMKM9Fgw — Shrugtal (@shrugtal) March 3, 2020 Where will the new Town Takeover be located? So far we’ve seen two takeovers on King’s Canyon — Octane’s and Wraith’s — while Mirage dropped his special event onto the edge of World’s Edge. Right now, there’s no clear indication of where Bloodhound’s new area of interest will actually appear, for a few reasons. Primarily, King’s Canyon is set to return mid-season, meaning both maps will be available for the first time. The return of the original Apex map is likely only for the ranked series playlist, however, and it would be a surprise if Respawn released their fourth Town Takeover in their battle royale just for the competitive side of the game. If the takeover lands on King’s Canyon, expect to see it land somewhere near Wetlands and Swamps on the right side of the map — as well as it being an empty space, it fits Bloodhound’s lore and tracking personality to a tee. Conversely, there are two unused spaces Bloodhound could ‘take over’ in the game’s newer map. To the left of Skyhook has never been used, while the large area to the side of Dome also fits the Tracker’s swampy aesthetic. Dexerto has also found new code — “canyonlands_MU2_CommonMapInit” — which suggests we could see a newer version of King’s Canyon (originally marked ‘MU0’ before becoming ‘MU1’ in Season 2), so there’s every chance the original map is the more likely destination for Bloodhound’s big event. For now, we’ll just have to wait for official confirmation from Respawn about the exciting new takeover. The developers have never commented on Town Takeover leaks before, so the first time we see anything new could be in-game on March 31. Whether they comment or not, however, it looks like there’s a lot of exciting new content on the way at the end of the month. For now though, Apex players can still take full advantage of the Override update, which ends on March 17.

Bloodhound main’s heirloom tattoo gets seal of approval from Apex Legends community EA, Reddit: Iloveguitar10The Apex Legends community has shown nothing but support for a Bloodhound main that recently got an heirloom tattoo. Apex Legends faithful regularly find ways to honor their favorite battle royale, be it through fan art, tattoos, or cosplay. Last month, for example, a student shared photos of a Shield Cell they created out of ceramics in art class. And new Apex Legends cosplay is always making the rounds online. Now it’s an Apex-inspired tattoo that’s caught the attention of fans, particularly those who love a certain legendary game hunter. This Bloodhound heirloom tattoo is the perfect Apex tribute Reddit user Iloveguitar10 decided to honor their favorite Apex Legends character with a forearm tattoo. The body art depicts Bloodhound’s heirloom, complete with an axe encrusted with raven detailing on the back of the axe head. Other Redditors seem impressed, pointing out stunning details like the tattoo’s shading and realistic fine touches. Naturally, some Reddit users had to throw in a joke here and there, though not at the Bloodhound main’s expense. Instead, fans noted the tattoo probably cost less money than Apex Legends’ actual Bloodhound heirloom. (Calculations at the time of the item’s in-game release suggested it could cost upwards of $160 to $170 USD.) Apex Legends remains the go-to battle royale experience for many a player. And the latest update, Season 15: Eclipse, will likely keep users entertained for quite some time. The Season 15 changes added in the new Broken Moon map, Catalyst as a playable hero, and sticker packs for healing items. Players aren’t too fond of the latter, however.

Bloodhound turns to the dark side in awesome Star Wars Apex Legends concept EAApex Legends fans have been clamoring for more unique skin designs and a Star Wars design would be something to look forward to. Apex Legends has a lot potential for skins but Respawn hasn’t really delivered in that regard just yet, but the door is definitely open to doing so with a community rife with ideas. With Apex Legends being a first-person game there isn’t as much of an emphasis on skins for characters as there is with Fortnite, a third-person game. As a result, we’ve been left with more weapon skins that character skins. This isn’t exactly a bad thing but given how many skins Overwatch has for being a first-person game, it makes sense for Apex Legends to get the same treatment. Like Overwatch, Apex Legends features a variety of different characters which allows for different kinds of skins for the entire cast. Star Wars meets Apex Legends with this crossover concept An image showing a person in full samurai-themed stormtrooper gear made the rounds on Reddit in both the Apex Legends and Star Wars subreddit where fans got a glimpse at what a new Bloodhound skin could potentially look like. While getting a Bloodhound Star Wars skin will probably never happen, it’s not too outlandish to think of considering EA holds the Star Wars license and publishes Apex Legends. As mentioned before, this image isn’t actually related to Apex Legends but it does allow for some brainstorming about a new Bloodhound skin. What would make this skin truly a Stormtrooper skin is if your accuracy dropped significantly while wearing it. A running gag in Star Wars is a Stormtrooper’s inability to hit accurate shots as you almost never see them connect with whatever their target is in the movies or TV series. If a skin like this ever debuts, it’d certainly become one of the more interesting skins currently in the game. In the meantime, we’ll just have to stick with what we have.

Apex Legends leak seemingly reveals Blisk abilities, Titan ultimate Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends gameplay leak appears to have revealed the abilities for upcoming character Kuben Blisk, including an ultimate that lets the Apex Games founder call in a Titan, and a “Ring Flare” tactical ability. Titans appear to be coming to Apex Legends… kind of. The huge set of Apex Legends leaks were originally posted as still images by insider TheNeon_Beast. Popular battle royale dataminer Biast12 shared both text & gameplay video versions soon after. In both sets of leaks, it appears an upcoming character — believed to be Blisk — deploys a Titan in the training yard. Dexerto has been told the video is allegedly from a “test build.” In the video, filmed on a Nintendo Switch, the deployed Titan sprays bullets after landing, then activates a Bloodhound-style scan as it walks behind the player. After a moment, the “Auto-Titan” stops moving and self-destructs. The ultimate reads, “Blisk summons an Auto-Titan to suppress an area.” https://twitter.com/tHeNeOn_BeAst/status/1374476209858351107 The Legends’ passive and tactical were also included in Biast’s text-based leak. His passive, “Pilot Kit,” allows Blisk to “hack Survey Beacons using his Data Knife” like all recon characters. He can also “wall run,” according to the leak. Blisk’s leaked tactical ability appears to work in a similar fashion to the ‘Ring Flare’ grenades from the Ring Fury LTM, which was introduced in Season 8. The leak says he “creates a damage zone powered by The Arena’s ring.” Read More: Fuse set for buffs to “save” Aussie legend – In fitting with his founder status, Blisk’s tactical is called “My Ring, My Rules”. The grenade ability appears for a moment at the end of the leaked Switch video. We’re starting a little light out with Blisk’s playtest abilities as text more a little later -😈 pic.twitter.com/CvdDbHz3XQ— Biast12 (@Biast12) March 24, 2021 For now, while these leaks are exciting, it’s worth taking them with a hefty helping of skepticism. Respawn has previously pledged to never bring Titanfall 2’s lumbering robot warriors to their battle royale, and wall-running was given a similar red cross by the Apex Legends devs. “It’s very unlikely we’d ever put wall running on a full legend,” the devs said back in Oct. 2020. “Anecdotally, people absolutely loved the constant sugar high of Titanfall multiplayer, but then also very quickly burned out on it.” That said, these new Apex Legends leaks — especially the Switch gameplay video — do appear to be quite convincing. Keep your eyes peeled for Respawn’s reply.

Bizzare Apex Legends technique completely counters recoil Respawn/EAAn Apex Legends player has got a unique approach to dealing with recoil, that allows them to hit shots with ridiculous accuracy. However, using said tactic might actually cause some injuries. Ever since Apex Legends launched over two years ago, players have been coming up with different ideas to deal with the weapon recoil. Some have, simply, just learned the recoil patterns, while others have done stranger things like crouching and uncrouching repeatedly while shooting, as well as shooting side-to-side instead of up-and-down. Now, a player has got a tactic that pretty much counters recoil for every weapon on PC, but mastering it might genuinely cause injury to your arm and wrist. It comes from Apex Legends content creator Torje who puts the tactic down to one simple thing – being able to vibrate your hand at a decent rate so that you can get off more clicks and have better movement. It’s what Torje calls the ‘Oscillation Method’ to recoil where, if you can vibrate your wrist at the same, or quicker, speed as a weapon’s firing rate, you’ll be able to control the recoil. As an example, the Flatline shoots at 600 RPM, meaning you’d have to vibrate at ten times a second or more to fully control it. By being able to jitter click and move your mouse in a small circle, every weapon pretty much fires in a straight line. As the YouTuber shows, he can hit the furthest target in Firing Range with pinpoint accuracy, which is extremely difficult to do. As noted, this method does have its drawbacks, because you’re forcing your arm and wrist to vibrate, which can cause injury – both in the short and long term. It might be something that only the most hardcore of Apex players pick up, but it clearly works. Whether we’d really recommend it though, is a different matter. Your best bet for improving your accuracy in Apex Legends is to try some of our more traditional tips for better aim.

Bizzare Apex Legends Replicator bug traps players into certain death Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have uncovered an unusual bug that traps them into the Replicator and can lead to their death if the circle is closing in. Prior to the start of Apex Legends Season 6, Respawn revealed that they would be introducing a crafting system to the battle royale. While this worried some players, it hasn’t quite gone the way of Fortnite and building cover for yourself. Instead, players collect crafting materials and then use the Replicators dotted around the map to craft a weapon, some ammo, a health kit, or even a hop-up if they need it. As the season has gone on, crafting has proven to be a popular addition to the game, but it appears as if some players have also found problems with the Replicators that is trapping them and leading to death. Apex Legends player STRADD838 posted a clip of themselves from a recent game where they were unable to escape the clutches of the replicator as the circle was closing in. The Redditor was sat looking at the screen as if the Replicator was loading up to show them their crafting options but they unable to do anything. As a result, because they couldn’t leave, the circle closed in on them and ticked away at their health. Given that they had nowhere to go – unless they wanted to quit the game – STRADD838 was left to be eliminated from the game thanks to the unusual bug. Though, to add insult to injury, they also lost a handful of ranking points in the process. Given that it can be pretty game-breaking, Respawn might have to get this problem sorted out before it has the chance to become more widespread. The devs did, finally, address the problems surrounding the Knockdown Shields and Wraith’s portal so they are on top of things. We’ll just have to keep on the Replicator problem.

Bizzare Apex Legends glitch is trapping players mid-jump An Apex Legends fan has stumbled upon a strange new bug that disrupts their landing routine on World’s Edge by keeping them up in the sky. Apex Legends season three has helped breath new life into Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale with the release of a brand-new map – World’s Edge – as well as the long-awaited legend, Crypto. Players have been getting used to their new surroundings and shifts in the game’s meta since the season’s release on October 1st, but it hasn’t been completely smooth sailing. We’ve seen issues with using health kits, reviving teammates, and even just getting into a playable lobby. Yet, as the excitement and hype builds towards season four – which is set to drop over the holiday period – strange, nagging problems still remain. In a post to the Apex Legends subreddit, user AzThaBoss showcased a video from a recent match where, as they were dropping in, their jump was disrupted by the game itself. As the Redditor and a teammate tried to soar over a tall structure by Thermal Plant, they were held up and unable to land. Instead, while their teammate carried on, the duo were suspended above the tower in the landing animation before being placed back into their drop. While the glitch was quite bizarre, it wasn’t completely game-breaking as AzThaBoss and their friend were able to get back on track in an attempt to get reunited with their third teammate. However, they had no explanation for what had happened and were left seeing if anyone else had, unfortunately, run into the issue. As of writing, no other responses suggested that they had so it’s unknown if this is a widespread issue or just something that AzThaBoss ran into. The Respawn development do, however, monitor the subreddit for bugs and similar issues so they could very well be aware of the problem and have a fix for it in no time.

Apex Legends Heirloom glitch unlocks rare items for free in Season 15 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends fans have uncovered a new connectivity bug that lets players equip and use unowned Heirlooms in-game. With updates bringing brand-new content regularly, bugs and glitches aren’t exactly uncommon in Apex Legends, or in the battle royale genre as a whole. While many bugs are just infuriating to deal with, some can be absolutely game-breaking in certain instances. On the other hand, sometimes glitches can be fun for the player and are pretty much harmless to everybody else. Apex Legends bug lets players use unowned Heirlooms Since the release of Apex Legends, the community has had their eyes locked on Heirlooms. With them being incredibly rare and hard to get, it’s easy to say that they’re the most sought-after cosmetic item in the game. Currently, there are 10 Heirlooms in Apex Legends, and the only way to acquire them is by being either incredibly lucky or grinding for hundreds of hours. However, players have now uncovered a new glitch that allows them to use unowned heirlooms in-game. In a series of November 6 tweets, Apex Legends YouTuber Grrt revealed how he’s able to use Revenant Heirloom in-game despite not even owning it — all thanks to a connectivity bug. During a minute-long video, the YouTuber walked through how he doesn’t even own Revenant’s Heirloom, and can’t even unlock it if he tried. Nonetheless, upon loading into the game, he’s able to use it. Grrt explained how there’s no way to replicate the glitch, and pleaded for the devs to not ban him. “Btw theres no way to replicate the glitch, also respawn don’t ban me,” he said. “I don’t actually like this loom.” In a follow-up tweet, the creator revealed that he managed to undo the bug, and suggested others do so as well to avoid a ban. “Okay i got it again and removed the heirloom, I would do the same if you got the glitch, you don’t want a silly lil ban.” As many pointed out, it’s not worth risking your entire account being banned over a glitched Heirloom, as it’s likely EA will take some sort of action. So, it’s probably best to not do it yourself.

Bizarre Wraith Arc Star bug in Apex Legends might not be a bad thing A strange interaction between a Wraith and an Arc Star in Apex Legends looks to be caused by a bug – but it actually makes for an awesome gameplay mechanic. Nearly a year after the launch for one of the most dynamic entries to the battle royale genre, players are still finding bizarre bugs and glitches that cause major headaches in matches, even at the most pivotal moments. But rarely does a bug come to light in Apex where the community takes a minute to mull over its consequences and realize it could be a cool element to include in the game. Twitter user ‘Mukai_fps’ posted a video of their gameplay showing their Wraith unable to activate her Into the Void Tactical Ability after an Arc Star landed on their character. Wraith’s ability is an incredible tool to escape a sketchy situation, so players have gotten used to navigating through the void of space to avoid any incoming damage. It looks like both the activation and finishing animation for the ability went off back to back, skipping the actual effect the move was supposed to give. Even as the player got quickly downed from the failed Into the Void attempt, players were actually amused to see a Wraith feel the explosive effects of an Arc Star rather than escaping with their Tactical. Though the way Wraith seamlessly transitions from failing to pop her ability to taking her gun back out has some thinking it just might actually be intended. “It seems it’s not a ‘special’ animation but rather, it skips the activation and mixes both the start-up and the end animation,” Apex loremaster ‘FrozenFroh’ said a Reddit post for the clip, trying to make sense out of the glitch. “AND YET it’s so fluid that it MIGHT be intended! The user noted that if intended it “would make Wraith players salty, but Arc-Star or EMP disabling abilities while the slow debuff is happening would be interesting. It makes sense the shock grenade would mess up with Wraith’s device.” This led to a lot of theory-crafting for why the bug would exist and some even linked it to yet-to-be-released Legend, Revenant, who is rumored to disable abilities with their move kit. In either case, the interaction is causing a lot of buzz with players who’d like to see more Wraiths unable to escape the effects of Arc Stars.

Bizarre Mad Maggie Heirloom idea equips her with Fuse’s arm in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends Mad Maggie Heirloom concept has equipped her with one of the most bizarre weapons in the Outlands, Fuse’s old arm. Although skins, banners, and badges are all prized by Apex Legends players, there’s nothing more sought-after than the exclusive Heirlooms released with collection events for specific characters. These extremely rare items come with custom melee animations, interactions, and sometimes even easter eggs relating to their lore in the Outlands. The latest character to receive an Heirloom was Crypto in the Warriors Collection event, but the community is constantly creating their own Heirlooms ideas in the hopes Respawn take note and creates one for their main. Well, that’s exactly what Apex YouTuber Bobz has done for Mad Maggie, and they might have created the most bizarre and unique Heirloom yet. Mad Maggie equipped with Fuse arm Heirloom A lot of Apex players complain that Heirloom concepts made by the community are too similar to each other, as they often revolve around a blade or sword. As a result, artists and creators are constantly encouraged to think out of the box and it’s safe to say Bobz has done exactly that for this Mad Maggie Heirloom idea. Taking inspiration from Fuse and Maggie’s backstory, the YouTuber has suggested that the Rebel Warlord should be equipped with Fuse’s old arm that was blown off in the explosion during the ‘Good as Gold’ Stories from the Outlands. Although this bizarre concept is certainly dark, it would allow Respawn to create some incredible slap and finisher animations. Not only that, the hand could make a variety of signs and even have some special interactions with Fuse in-game. Without a doubt, this is the most unique suggestion that’s been made for an Heirloom, and it actually fits into both Fuse and Maggie’s lore perfectly. With Mad Maggie releasing in Season 12 though, it’s unlikely she’ll be getting an Heirloom anytime soon, but this is definitely an idea Respawn should consider using.

Bizarre bug wipes out half of Apex Legends lobby instantly Respawn/EAApex Legends players have been running into a new issue that is ruining matches before they can get underway – as they’re tossed outside the limits of the map. Though there have been plenty of positives in Apex Legends latest season, bringing back old players with new content, and fans getting what they want with modes and maps, it hasn’t been entirely smooth sailing. Players have run into bugs on a regular basis – ranging from pretty big issues that prevent fans from playing matches to small hiccups that you’ll ultimately laugh about after the fact. However, one player has showcased an all-new problem that is wiping out entire servers as players try to jump into a match. As shown in the video, players are encountering a bug that sees them locked into the dropship as it is supposed to pass over the map but, instead, remains stuck in one place. After a few moments, every player remaining in the ship is tossed out at the limit of the map – forcing them to try and rescue themselves. However, as dropping into the map has become a little out of reach, said players are unable to save themselves and end up falling to their death before they even have a chance to play a match. As this example came from World’s Edge, some onlookers might assume that is a problem with that particular map. Yet, that doesn’t appear to be the case. In fact, another Reddit user claimed that they had also run into the same issue while attempting to play a game on Kings Canyon. These examples of the problem happening on different maps and in different games would point to it not being a small issue that has reared its head, but instead, something that could easily ruin more and more matches if it is not addressed. The Respawn team has not commented on the subreddit or made a note of it on their Trello board, so, it remains to be seen as to whether or not they are aware of the brand new issue.

Bizarre Apex Legends waterfall glitch is making gunfights one-sided Respawn Entertainment[jwplayer Fc1cVTGH]A newly discovered glitch in Apex Legends appears to make waterfalls completely impervious to bullets and gunfire from only one side. This can make gunfights a bit unfair, to say the least. Normally in Apex, the waterfalls found on both of the game’s maps are just parts of the scenery and they allow bullets and other munitions to pass right through with no problem. However, there seems to be a spot on King’s Canyon where this isn’t the case. In the clip below from Reddit user Haxxor1, Lifeline and her team run into a firefight with another squad located on the opposite side of a waterfall on King’s Canyon. Lifeline rushes to her teammate’s aid and takes aim at the enemy through the waterfall before unloading with the Charge Rifle. The only problem is the beams hit and discharge on the inside of the waterfall, instead of passing through as they should. An impenetrable waterfall wouldn’t be that massive of an issue if it applied both ways, but it doesn’t. The enemy team’s shots are able to pass through the front part unhindered, which makes for a very one-sided fight. You could argue it might just be just a weird interaction with the Charge Rifle and the waterfall, but that doesn’t seem to be the case because Lifeline’s teammates’ shots don’t seem to make it through either. After trying to rez their teammate, the player made their smartest move yet and simply left the area and the bugged out waterfall behind, which, if you run into this glitch, is probably your best course of action. This strange bulletproof waterfall definitely hasn’t always been the case, there are plenty of instances from seasons past where players were able to shoot and down enemies right through them, so this can definitely be called a glitch or bug. Hopefully, Respawn devs implement a fix for this before players leave King’s Canyon again (whenever that is), but for now, it’s probably wise to steer clear of any and all waterfalls on the map, unless you’re on the side that can actually shoot through, of course.

Bizarre Apex Legends skin glitch is making enemies invisible A strange Apex Legends bug has seen players reporting that enemies are invisible at the start of games – and it may come down to what skin they are using at the time. As the popular battle royale game continues to grow, more bugs are being found that could potentially affect the balance of the game, and this is one that players have been encountering for a while. In a video posted to Reddit on January 3, you can see just how frustrating – and bizarre – this particular glitch can be, especially when you face it first-hand. The post, which came from user Lynxien on Reddit, is titled “Apex Legends is a fair and balanced game,” a clear dig at the issues they’ve been facing while playing. In the clip, you can see Lynxien search through a loot crate to find a weapon before turning around and heading down a set of stairs – with what appears to be a stray gun running straight at them. Naturally, Lynxien didn’t notice the rogue weapon, but was immediately pelted with bullets and lost a lot of their health, before the seemingly-invisible player appeared in front of them and finished them off. You would be forgiven for missing the stray gun at first glance, much like Lynxien did, but the slow-motion footage provided after shows a small snippet where you can see the weapon model but not the character holding it. In the comments, some players note that it has happened to them before, but by the looks of it, it only occurs at the start of a match and disappears after a few seconds. As other responses state, this is likely due to the textures simply not rendering in properly early in the game. The texture render theory is probably the most likely reason for this issue. It’s something you see in other titles, too, including battle royale rival Fortnite, and simply boils down to the amount of content being loaded in and the capabilities of the platform you’re using. Regardless of what exactly is causing the issue, there is no doubt Respawn Entertainment will be looking for a fix to prevent more players from having to face off against an invisible enemy in Apex Legends.

Bizarre Apex Legends ranked bug demotes players to Rookie IV Respawn Entertainment | u/ricoandinoSome Apex Legends players have been getting demoted all the way down to the lowest rank in the game after starting their ranked grind in Season 16. Ranked is a huge part of Apex Legends. Getting to Predator rank is a big goal for a lot of players, and, with only 750 spots open at the top, getting all the way up the ladder is something few players are able to do. Some people will do anything to break into Pred, with a long history of players resorting to cheating, boosting, and other ways to swing matches in their favor. However, the vast majority of Apex Legends players are just doing their best to improve and make the long climb to the top. However, a bizarre bug has been demoting some players all the way down to the bottom of the ladder for seemingly no reason. Players getting demoted to Rookie IV in Apex Legends Season 16 Rookie is a rank that was implemented as a way to ease newer players into ranked. Players don’t lose RP while they’re climbing in Rookie, a decision meant to make things a bit less intimidating for those dipping their toes into the mode. However, several players have reported that they’re getting sent right back to being a Rookie despite having climbed far beyond that rank. Reports are conflicting, with some players saying that it’s purely a visual bug and that they’ve maintained their original rank – but not all players are that lucky. Others are reporting that they’ve lost their previous rank and, in the worst cases, that they’re stuck at Rookie IV and unable to gain RP. It’s currently unclear what’s causing these massive demotions or if it’s possible for players’ ranks to get reverted to what they were. This bug has been the source of much player frustration, with their hard-earned rank getting erased without explanation.

Bizarre Apex Legends map glitch is making World’s Edge disappear Apex Legends players have discovered a strange glitch with the map that is costing players kills, and possibly victories, due to the landscape not loading properly. When playing battle royale titles like Apex Legends, many things can lead to your demise, whether it’s opponents with crazy aim, bad rotations that leave you caught in the storm, or silly errors that see yourself drop out of game. Some players are finding that the World’s Edge map is causing issues though, with one player posting a clip on the game’s subreddit which shows visual glitches that leave opponents, and entire buildings, impossible to see. In the post, Apex Legends’ player /u/tobiascuypers posted a clip of him engaging in a gunfight against an opponent, showing off the bug that lost him a 10-kill victory because he was unable to see anything. In the video, /u/tobiascuypers can be seen aiming down a flight of stairs towards an opponent, when suddenly a giant yellow wall appears and the floor seemingly disappears, leaving him unable to finish the kill. The player runs outside to try and solve the issue but is met with even larger yellow walls outside, blocking off rooms so he can’t see, and even covering buildings while he roams outside in an attempt to solve his problem. It seems they aren’t the only players suffering with the issue, with other subreddit users chiming in to say that this has happened to them in the past. “This happened to me once, and it sucked,” wrote one, while /u/Xvnder complained that the “same thing happens to me with this one building in Capitol, every time I’m in it.” For those suffering from this glitch, the unfortunate news is that Respawn Entertainment have yet to address the issues, so players will have to hope that the developers include some visual fixes in the next update for the game.

Bizarre Apex Legends invisible map bug returns to turn games into boxing matches Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have been enjoying the new content that Season 10 has brought to the game. While players have been grinding ranked, things took a weird turn when the map was invisible and players were left to punch each other to death. This season, players have got tons of new stuff. Rampart finally got her heirloom and there have been loads of new cosmetics put into the game. While there’s a new season bringing in loads of new players, there are typically game-breaking bugs that come with it. Playing the game without weapons, buildings, or anything else can seem quite annoying it actually creates an interesting match. Apex Legends invisible map bug is back Previously, we have seen a glitch similar to this, as players dropped into an invisible map but got horrible frame lag. This time we get a clear picture of what happens when there is no map. In this Reddit clip posted by ‘Victorique-’ you can see that things started to get very hectic when his squad loaded into the game. Literally, everything was gone leaving the players with no weapons, nothing to land on, and a lot of comedy. Since the players had no access to weapons or loot crates that spawned on the map it became a full-on boxing match. Players started punching each other to the death, because what else were they going to do? You can see the chaos ensue as bodies start falling and death boxes appear. Players were tactically swapping out different shields trying to survive long enough. While the team in the clip didn’t last that long, one player wanted to see what would happen if a Rampart was in the game and used her ultimate. It would be safe to assume that Sheila would be able to mow down a good amount of players. The good news is that this seems to be an extremely rare glitch, but one that can actually bring a fun, light-hearted twist to the game.

Bizarre Apex Legends invincibility bug makes reviving players impossible to kill Respawn EntertainmentFinishing off enemies is already hard enough in Apex Legends but a new invincibility bug is making it impossible to kill any downed player who is being revived by a squadmate. Season 10 of Apex was filled with its fair share of bugs – from allowing Valkyrie to infinitely terrorize enemies with her rockets, to loud music randomly ruining the game’s audio — and it seems like the BR still isn’t out of the woods just yet. A new issue has appeared in the game that is making both downed players and the person attempting to pick them up invulnerable while inside the revive animation. While this one is unique in how it affects every player involved, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a revive-related bug in the game. Apex Legends’ newest invincibility bug In one clip, we see a Wraith attempt to claim an easy kill on Valkyrie before finding out that their bullets are completely useless for some reason. The enemy is able to finish their revive and make a fight out of what should have been a hopeless situation. What is this 😳 Some players reporting a bug where shots don’t register if the enemy is reviving… (via u/LGHTWRKK) pic.twitter.com/y7Ad7AZR7v — Alpha Intel (@alphaINTEL) October 23, 2021 It’s unclear what is causing the enemy team to be unkillable, but this is just another drop in the ocean when it comes to problems with reviving people in the game recently. Whether it’s players going invisible while attempting to pick up their teammate, or map elements interrupting a finisher on downed opponents, it’s clear that this area of Apex Legends needs some big improvements. That help could be coming soon though, as the most recent update placed a heavy emphasis on cleaning up structural issues within the title, and ensuring that players experience fewer of these game-ruining bugs.

Bizarre Apex Legends HUD glitch would be perfect for Hardcore mode Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends player ran into an endgame bug that gave them a perfect look at how the game could look with a slimmed down HUD which would definitely look great in a Hardcore mode. Respawn Entertainment are ramping up to the launch of the second season for Apex Legends, which has been giving players tons of ideas for features that would make a great addition to the game. While the devs are hard-pressed toward fixing burgeoning issues found throughout King’s Canyon, simple ideas like these would go a long way to making the game more fun for tons of people. In a Reddit post, user ‘mnkymnk’ showed off an in-game bug that completely cleared their screen from any graphics normally seen in the HUD. But instead of complaining about the change, it actually spawned a great idea for a dev request. “Glitch during endscreen gave me No HUD and a blue crosshair,” mnkymnk said. “Respawn please make these ingame options.” Read more: New Apex Legends Season 2 teaser hints at “wildlife intrusions,” activates Repulsor Tower – The single image they posted was a simple gameplay image without the HUD, but it definitely gave a more open and natural feel to the battle royale. Other users were quickly taken by the thought, and expanded on the original idea by saying it could be the something to build toward a fully-fledged Hardcore mode to the game. “Yes,” user ‘Hyrozuex’ said in agreement with the original poster. “Or even this just as the ‘Hardcore option.’ No up in the damage of weapons, No crazy buffs or Nerf. Just No HUD for everyone and you have to listen and communicate.” Although the game is headed into its next chapter called Battle Charge, a no HUD option would have been perfect for the current season’s Wild Frontier. Tons of weapons already have an ammo counter to keep track of while everything else, like ultimate’s being ready or certain pings, would have to be relayed through audio cues. A mode like that would definitely challenge even the most battle-hardened Apex Legends players, forcing them to change up their approach to the game. While Hardcore Mode might not make it in time for Season 2 of Apex Legends on July 2, players will still have plenty of content to rummage through in the upcoming patch for the game.

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch turns Replicator into an instant death trap Respawn EntertainmentPlayers reported a strange glitch with Apex Legends’ crafting replicators that turns them into instant death traps for unsuspecting users. While Season 14 of Apex Legends has been a major success for developer Respawn, it seems there may be a problem with frequent glitches. Players encountered a lot of glitches surrounding Vantage, the new recon Legend, with more and more cropping up each day it seems. Now, fans reported a bizarre glitch surrounding the battle royale’s crafting Replicators which turns them into instant death traps. Apex Legends Replicator glitch leads to instant death The glitch comes from the Apex Legends subreddit where user ulwrestler145 posted a video of their unfortunate experience. The clip shows a Vantage player and their squad approaching a Replicator to start crafting. The Vantage crafts one Shield Battery before shifting to the other empty crafting slot to craft a Med Kit. However, upon exiting the crafting menu, the recon Legend immediately falls through the ground until they passed through the death plane. It seems as though ulwrestler145 isn’t the only player that encountered Replicator glitches in Season 14, either. “They need to fix the bugs with the crafter. In KC using it forces you to crouch after you craft something on some of the crafters,” said SteelFuxorz. A different user by the name of WTF_Vendrick said they’d experienced the same crouching glitch as well. In fact, the glitch shown in the video may just be an extension of the crouching glitch other players experienced. While it seems no one knows why exactly this Vantage player fell through the map, the glitch forcing them to crouch could have caused some strange collision between the player model and the ground. In any case, hopefully Respawn will take a look at these strange glitches and roll out a patch soon enough.

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch is making Seer’s ultimate useless Respawn EntertainmentSeer fans in Apex Legends have been left baffled by a new glitch that causes the legend’s ultimate ability to malfunction in a strange way. All the talk of the town is firmly on Apex Legends Season 14 and its array of unique gameplay features, including a new Laser Sight attachment for weapons, self-revives being removed, and the level cap finally being raised. There’s also been the slight distraction of the Apex Legends Season 14 boycott, but whilst all of this has been going on, there’s been a strange glitch occurring with Seer’s ultimate ability. The recon character has been through a purple patch as of late that has seen their pick rate rise quite substantially, but it could be in danger of dropping if their ultimate ability continues to be erratic. Seer ultimate ability not working properly in Apex Legends As demonstrated by Reddit user LOK-HEN7, Seer’s ‘Exhibit’ ultimate ability isn’t proving to be the incredible recon tool that it has been since the character debuted in the game. Exhibit is supposed to do the following once activated: “Create a sphere of micro-drones that reveal the location of enemies moving quickly or firing their weapons within.” For some players, it’s doing exactly that, but once the sphere is created, it’s floating off into space, making it fairly useless for detecting nearby threats. It’s definitely not an isolated incident either as the top comment with over 600 upvotes said: “Had this happen last night to me. Our Seer threw his ult and it floated away. Screwed me when I lost everyone in the four Bangalore’s worth of smoke and rolling thunders.” If you’re in a desperate situation in Apex Legends and need priceless information on your opponents, then this version of Seer’s ultimate simply won’t get the job done. We expect Respawn will be aware of this issue soon enough and issue a fix so that Seer is still a viable selection for Season 14 – even if new Legend Vantage ends up stealing the show.

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch is merging Gibraltar & Caustic’s abilities EAApex Legends players have stumbled upon a crazy bug which merges both Gibraltar’s Dome Shield and Caustic’s Nox Gas Trap into one lethal combination, before sending it hurling across the map. The System Override Collection Event is in full swing and players have been lapping up every second of King’s Canyon’s return with the limited-time ‘Déjà Loot’ mode. While the event has brought a ton of changes (such as the brand-new Evo Shield and Octane’s Heirloom), there have been some unintended consequences of the update going live. One of the ramifications has been that grenades have no longer been working in-game for a vast majority of players, with the explosives either disappearing in plain sight or players being left unable to select their trusty frag after certain character animations. Now, another unintended bug has been uncovered that could prove quite lethal in World’s Edge. Posted to the Apex Legends subreddit, one Redditor showcased Gibraltar and Caustic’s newfound brotherhood. Essentially, the pair send a dome-protected noxious gas trap hurling across the map by utilizing both Gibraltar’s and Caustic’s Tactical abilities. After placing Caustic’s Nox Gas Trap on the ground, the Gibraltar simply places the projector hub for their Dome Shield on top of the gas canister. With the dome now fully encompassing Caustic’s trap, there’s a short delay until both are propelled across the map. While this appears like a harmless bit of fun from the outside looking in, any Gibraltar/Caustic mains could use this to get a positional advantage in the next containment zone if used correctly. Have a Pathfinder one your squad? They can also join in the fun, according to the Redditor! “We got it with Pathfinder, too. We grappled and got launched,” the player commented. While the glitch is, of course, an unintended by-product of the System Override event update, there’s every chance that it could be here to stay. Meaning that providing cover to your teammates on the other side of the map just became a whole lot easier!

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch is giving characters different abilities A strange Apex Legends glitch is switching Passive, Tactical, and Ultimate Abilities between characters, leaving fans of the battle royale title scratching their heads. One of the things that sets Apex Legends apart from other games in the battle royale genre are the Legends themselves, who each come with their own backstory, design, and abilities that can give players an edge over their opponents in sticky situations. Each Legend has specific abilities that only then can use, but a new glitch discovered in the game is creating some strange mashups between characters. In a clip uploaded to the Apex Legends subreddit by /u/martinezqta, the player shows off his screen which indicates that they chose Octane, a speedy character best used to zoom around the map in search of opponents. Confusingly though, the bottom-right corner shows the ability of a different character in Mirage, and when the player activates their Tactical Ability, Mirage’s Psyche Out is triggered instead of Stim which is supposed to be Octane’s ability. Perhaps even stranger is the fact that even though it’s Mirage’s ability, it was a holograph of Octane who appeared, with the player showing off the bizarre image in the video. While this glitch is definitely confusing, some fans of the Respawn-developed game have stated that this could be a fun limited-time mode, where players spawn in with no clue about which character’s abilities they will be able to use in their match. Some believe that this could also be the start of a new Apex Legends in-game event, although there are no leaks or announcements that support this theory at the moment. Respawn have yet to address this issue, with no word on whether they will be issuing a fix for this in the near future or are actively investigating it at this moment.

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch gives Lifeline ‘perfect camouflage’ Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legend player stumbled upon a strange glitch that gave an enemy Lifeline and Horizon team perfect camouflage, ruining the match. As with any massively popular multiplayer game, Apex Legends is no stranger to bizarre glitches affecting gameplay. From cars around the map disappearing to more severe issues like Ultimate abilities failing during a tournament, an unfortunate bug can always slip through the cracks and ruin one’s game. Now, one Apex Legend player reported a bug that seemingly caused an enemy Lifeline and Horizon team to appear perfectly cloaked, resulting in a swift defeat. Apex Legends glitch cloaks Lifeline The glitch comes by way of the Apex Legends subreddit where user ‘Codyrd91‘ posted a brief clip of their encounter with the cloaked Lifeline. The clip shows Cody running into a building on World’s Edge before quickly stumbling upon a Lifeline who’s nearly invisible. They spot the crouched Lifeline after a brief pause, only to be surprised by a similarly cloaked Horizon player who swiftly downs them. According to Cody, they were chasing the Lifeline earlier, which is “the only reason [they] knew to look” around the building where they happened upon the glitch. The post gained over 2,500 upvotes in just seven hours, with plenty of replies from confused fans wondering what exactly happened to cause the glitch. Unfortunately, it seems no one was able to provide a reason for why the glitch occurred. One user named ‘Stomperee‘ noticed that the cloaked Lifeline also didn’t shoot Cody right away, guessing that “…maybe the whole lobby had the same problem and that’s why Lifeline didn’t shoot when he came around [the] corner.” Other users simply made jokes about the strange glitch, like ‘Someguy386‘ who said “It’s the new Crypto buff, off the grid.” Whatever the case may be, this glitch thankfully doesn’t seem to be a widespread issue, considering how no one in the community reported seeing the glitch for themselves in other matches.

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch could hint at upcoming killcam addition Respawn EntertainmentA strange glitch is appearing during Apex Legends matches, which could indicate that a long-awaited killcam feature might be finally on the way. Most FPS fans should be familiar with the concept of a killcam, which allows you to watch from the POV of the person who eliminated you as they took their fatal shots. It certainly helps for finding out where enemies are and cutting down on camping in games like Overwatch and Call of Duty, but it’s not as common in battle royales such as Apex – but this could be changing, based on a new clip. Reddit user ‘JjohnsWVU’ posted the above clip, which shows a “Skip Replay” option after Lifeline has been knocked down by the circle. Jjohns hypothesized the glitch might signal that killcams are finally coming to Apex, a feature that some players have been requesting since release. Killcams in Apex might not help you combat campers as in CoD, but it would do a great job of making sense out of those matches where you’re knocked 0.5 seconds after landing. However, as some users pointed out, if we consider the game that Apex is heavily based on, Titanfall 2, than an upcoming killcam could be much less likely. “This game [Apex] uses a modified Titanfall 2 engine,” a user by the name of ‘piracyisnotavictemle’ pointed out in the comments. “This is just a leftover asset bugging itself in.” Piracy is correct that both Apex and Titanfall 2 run on the Source engine, and the second Titanfall also featured a killcam that players could skip by hitting X (or A on Xbox and Space on PC). However, this interaction isn’t the same prompt as what’s given to players in Titanfall 2 killcams. As you can see in the above screenshot from Titanfall 2, it’s killcam prompts players to “Respawn,” not “Skip Replay,” as we saw in Jjohn’s clip. If it were just a leftover asset “bugging itself in,” then why would the text change? While this clip isn’t definitive proof that Apex will be getting killcams added anytime soon, it definitely puts the possibility of it happening out there.

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch completely breaks Wraith’s void walk Respawn EntertainmentA new Apex Legends glitch has been discovered in which Wraith’s tactical ability, “Into the Void,” is completely broken for the duration of the match due to seemingly poor server synchronization. Wraith is the sneakiest character in Apex Legends—all thanks to her unique relationship with the mysterious Void. She has a passive ability, “Voices from the Void,” which tells her whenever an opposing player has taken notice of her. She has an ultimate ability, “Dimensional Rift,” that allows her to create portals for teleportation. And, most importantly, her tactical ability allows her to “Void walk” or “phase,” where she traverses the earthly plains while in the Void—meaning that she is essentially invisible (albeit for an easily recognized trail) and invulnerable to damage. This move is a crucial tool for repositioning during engagements, and often allows Wraith players to escape when on the verge of death. But there seems to be a glitch where, sometimes, players appear to activate the Void walk on their game client while being simultaneously downed by an opponent. This prompts the Legend to get downed while in the void, which itself is entirely unintended. As shown by Wraith main ‘Proki-’ on Reddit, this bug can happen in actual games but can also be replicated in the Firing Range. It begins with the troubling downing while in the void, but what happens next is even more concerning. Even after being revived—the character will no longer be able to phase properly as the animation will simply cancel before she is able to enter her trusted portal. This means that the Legend’s most useful skill is no longer available, leaving her completely vulnerable during engagements and practically disabling the style of play mains have become used to. This appears to be caused by a disconnect between the player’s client, the game’s server, and the opposing foe’s client as the downing shots are only registered once the Wraith has already entered their Void. Thus far, there has been no comment from Apex Legends’ developers over at Respawn Entertainment and no confirmation as to how exactly this glitch functions.

Strange Apex Legends glitch allows players to change characters mid-game A new glitch in Apex Legends is apparently allowing players to switch which legend they’re playing as in the middle of a match. Apex Legends is supposed to lock players into a certain character after the hero select screen – it’s not like Overwatch where you can change heroes whenever you want. That’s why a new glitch making the rounds has caught so many people off guard because it seems to allow players to switch legends in the middle of a match. A video of the bug was posted to YouTube by Apex Legends leaker and dataminer iLootGames, who very clearly seems to be switching heroes during an Apex Legends match. But it looks like only the legend’s appearance switches, not their abilities. For instance, when iLootGames is Mirage, they still have Mirage’s abilities when they switch to Caustic or Lifeline’s skin. But just because the glitch doesn’t grant players the ability to switch abilities along with skins, it doesn’t make it any less confusing or potentially game-breaking. Abilities being used by a legend they shouldn’t be would throw any player for a loop, and seriously affect how you approach each fight. For instance, if you know you’re going up against a Gibraltar, you probably wouldn’t expect him to bust out some Pathfinder grapples or put down a Wraith portal. The bug could be particularly deadly with Mirage, since player’s don’t expect decoys from any hero except him. So you could be unloading on what seems like a real Wattson, and not realize until it’s too late. iLootGames didn’t share how to pull off the glitch but it definitely is possible, at least until Respawn releases a fix or patch for the exploit. It definitely seems like something Respawn would want to fix sooner rather than later unless they want a bunch of heroes running around bamboozling when they shouldn’t be.

Bizarre Apex Legends glitch allows players to hide in rocks The addition of World’s Edge map in Apex Legends: Season 3 has impressed many fans of the popular battle royale, but players have found a bug in the new arena allowing them to hide inside rocks. The replacement for King’s Canyon in Season 3, World’s Edge, has introduced new terrain for players to experience such as the molten lava river surrounding the Thermal Station. However, some players have managed to exploit the new battlegrounds after discovering that their characters could hide inside of rock textures on the map. A video of the glitch was shared on the Apex Legends subreddit by u/rawnoodles1, showcasing how frustrating it can be when playing against players abusing the glitch. The game displayed was in its final stages near the Rain Tunnel when their final opponent jumped out from the rock catching one of their teammates off guard and downing them before retreating back behind the rock texture. Despite their best efforts, the opposing player could not be killed while he was in the texture and they had to wait for him to leave the rock and fight before being able to secure the victory. Players have been left confused due to the nature of this glitch, with many looking to take advantage of it by setting up traps on unsuspecting players. Apex Legends fans have also claimed that there are other rocks in the map, outside of the one at Rain Tunnel, that can provide a similar advantage over the opposing players, allowing players to hide in the texture. The glitch is already quite known amongst some of the battle royale’s fans and it is likely that Respawn will be looking to patch this bug in future updates. This is not the first strange glitch that has been found since the release of Season 3 Meltdown, as an unusual bug that can damage teammates after being revived was also occurring in player’s lobbies.

Bizarre Apex Legends exploit lets you slide infinitely Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends player has discovered a trick that allows you to infinitely slide using crouch. Although it’s certainly funny, it’s difficult to tell whether it has any practical use in-game. Sliding in Apex Legends is an extremely satisfying and fun mechanic to use. Whether it’s sliding down hills or towards an opponent in a gunfight, the ability never gets boring. On top of that, sliding is incredibly useful and allows players to make quick movements between cover in skirmishes. There are no doubts Apex players would slide across the map nonstop if it was possible. Well, a new trick has been discovered that may allow players to do exactly that. Apex player discovers infinite slide exploit A thread posted to the Apex Legends subreddit revealed the trick that allows players to slide infinitely in-game. Unlike other exploits, the trick doesn’t involve a bug or glitch, it just requires players to rebind crouch to their scroll wheel on PC. By doing this, players can spam crouch at such a rate that it infinitely propels a slide forward. Unfortunately, there are no buttons on console that can achieve this effect so it is limited to PC. As you can see in the video, the player begins to slide and then rapidly uses the crouch input, giving the appearance of an infinite slide effect. It’s difficult to tell what benefits this exploit provides players, other than that you’re significantly lower down when moving at speed. One of the best aspects of Apex’s slide mechanic is the smoothness of the animation. Unfortunately, this trick makes the slide incredibly jolty and creates a set of strange noises from crouching at such a rapid speed. There’s no doubt this exploit is bizarre and funny to watch but is it game-changing enough for Respawn to make immediate changes? It’s difficult to say, so for now we’ll just have to wait and see what action they take against the exploit.

Bizarre Apex Legends exploit lets Wraith instantly teleport through her portals Respawn/EAApex Legends players have uncovered a glitch with Wraith’s portal that allows them to place it wherever they want, and teleport to the other side instantly, but it can only be done on Storm Point. Ever since Apex Legends first launched over three years ago, players have been finding ways to get additional advantages with the abilities of each legend. In the past, we’ve seen players being able to instantly charge Wraith’s ultimate by using the jump towers, they’ve been able to prevent enemies from getting cues when activating Gibby’s bombardment, and even getting unlimited amounts of Octane’s stim. As she’s one of the more popular legends, Wraith is usually one of the go-to’s for players to find exploits with abilities and it has happened once again by combining her portal, Revenant’s Death Totem, a grenade, and one of Storm Point’s gravity cannons. Apex Legends YouTuber RossTheeSquirrel shone a spotlight on the exploit after it started to do the rounds on TikTok, noting just how powerful and broken it is. The exploit, which takes a few steps to pull off, allows Wraith mains to place the different ends of their portal an infinite distance away from each other, while also being able to instantly teleport from either side. It’s pretty similar to the old one that worked on World’s Edge when the train was active. “This bug, as far as I’m aware only works on Storm Point, making it very broken as this will be the map in the first split of Ranked in Season 13,” the YouTuber said though others suggested that it can also be done on Kings Canyon. However, there is no proof of those claims as it stands. As some other players noted, it is a massively situational glitch, and one that would probably be hard to pull off mid-fight. Yet, if you have the time to place everything down, it can be useful. Of course, it is an exploit so you could very well find yourself on the blunt end of the ban hammer if you use it. Though, we’ll have to wait and see if it’s patched before it becomes widespread.

Bizarre Apex Legends deathbox bug makes players invincible Respawn/EAA completely bizarre Apex Legends bug with the death boxes managed to save one player certain elimination after being boxed in by an enemy team who threw everything at them. [jwplayer VEi3mnK7] Ever since Apex Legends released back in February of 2019, there has been a long list of incredibly unusual bugs and glitches on Kings Canyon, World’s Edge, and the newest map, Olympus. Players have been able to use weapons after being downed, games have been interrupted because the map won’t load in, and we’ve even seen care packages spawn outside of the map – just to name a few. Death boxes have also played a role too, where players have seen their teammates spawn under staircases or be crushed by a falling box. However, a new bug has helped saved players from certain death. It comes from Reddit user phantom56657, who showed off a clip of their Lifeline teammate reviving them in a tight spot during a game on World’s Edge. However, Lifeline’s true masterstroke came after they had died. With both the Pathfinder and Lifeline being caught in a corner, the latter was taken down, and their death box landed squarely on the recently revived Redditor. As the kill hungry enemies swarmed on the now-lone Pathfinder, they threw everything at them – including multiple Ultimates and grenades. However, the death box prevented all incoming damage, and they were able to survive and get away pretty scot-free. But, after leaving the safety of the death box, they were back to normal, and did take damage from a few enemy shots. It’s a bit of a one in a million type glitch, seeing as it’s very unlikely many players would be caught in such an unusual position with the death box. So, it’s not exactly game-breaking or something you can try to replicate yourself. But if it happens to you, and you’re on the side trying to kill the downed player, you may as well be patient.

Bizarre Apex Legends clip shows player using a pen to dominate matches Respawn EntertainmentOne Apex Legends player has shown you don’t need a mouse or a controller to absolutely clean up in the battle royale, just a digital stylus, and they have the clips to prove it. Apex can be played on either PC or console, with the appropriate peripherals (Respawn has confirmed crossplay will be coming, but we don’t know exactly when just yet). What you don’t see everyday however, is someone using a drawing stylus to ball out in the battle royale. But that’s exactly the path Reddit user Star__Rain chose for themselves after seeing someone play Apex with a stylus over a year ago, and, based on their clips, we’d say they’ve definitely gotten the hang of it. Amazingly, Rain seems to have better aiming and reaction times with the stylus than most of us do using a boring old keyboard and mouse. But this sort of makes sense, as some people might spend more time using a pen or other wiring utensils than they do a mouse and keyboard or controller. They’re easily able to down opponents, and they even score an Apex Championship, and it looks as easy as writing some notes down. Instead of jotting down your thoughts though, you’re laying down punishment on your enemies. Sounds fun! Most standard PC-compatible styluses come with a few buttons on it already, so all you have to do is rebind them to your liking, then you too could be off to the races scribbling away as you aim. It’s not just Apex though, as Rain said they now prefer to use their pen peripheral for all FPS games, not just the battle royale, and we would be very interested to see how something like this would fare in say CS:GO, Valorant, or CoD as well. Out of this world peripherals are nothing new in gaming, like the streamer who recently conquered Dark Souls 3 using just a dance pad, but using a pen for FPS games is something you just don’t see a whole lot of. Hopefully, Rain decides to post more clips of how their system works in other games because the action we’ve seen so far in Apex really just leaves us wanting more.

Bizarre Apex Legends character concept is hopeless but actually genius Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends player has devised a bizarre legend concept for a character who would be essentially useless and devoid of bravery – but the idea would actually be genius. Apex Legends character concepts are not particularly new in the game’s community – players regularly share their ideas for Legends that could shake up the meta and cause chaos in-game. Some – like this Titanfall Spectre concept – would slot right in to Storm Point, but others may require a lot of acclimation from the player base. That’s definitely the case for Hank, a legend proposed by Redditor Tales_of_Earth and, despite the obvious humor involved in the suggestion, it could actually be genius. The Redditor said: “I’ve always wanted a character who is just some guy named Hank. Like a janitor who through a terrible series of events end up in the games. Voice lines that are mostly him just reacting to the absurd violence and the shock of being resurrected. Maybe a lot of lines begging for his life or for someone to just help him escape.” While Hank sounds like a useless character, the Redditor did actually elaborate on the abilities he would possess, and they’re mostly just a mild inconvenience for enemies. “His abilities would be in based luck and desperation,” they said. “Passive: he has 2 extra slots for gear but he moves a little slower when they are full. Tactical: he temporarily makes a little ashamed and off their game by crying loudly. Aiming at him drastically increases the intensity and randomness of recoil. Ultimate: Insane luck causes enemy gun jams. Nearby enemies will have to reload before firing. Probably overpowered in the tactical and ultimate, but weak in the passive.” Other Redditors picked up on the suggestion and endorsed it, with a post pleading with Respawn to add Hank sitting at over 15,000 upvotes. We’re yet to see Respawn add in a completely community created Legend, but it could yet happen as they strive to remain receptive to fan ideas. Hank is not so much an idea as a magnificent brain wave, and we’d love to see to helpless janitor pleading for mercy in Storm Point soon.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug with Caustic’s Gas Trap sends Pathfinder flying Respawn EntertainmentThere is a strange bug in Apex Legends that can take players by surprise especially now that it can be used as a delivery system for Pathfinder. A couple of Apex Legends players experimented with the bug that lets Caustic’s Nox Gas Traps take off, but this time they attached Pathfinder’s grapple hook to the fray. Team Liquid pro Lucas ‘Mendokusaii’ Håkansson previously experimented with Caustic’s traps after seeing one of them spring to life. But the Apex community have turned the discovery to springboard new tactics into the Apex Games. Adding to the plethora of possibilities is Reddit user ‘Solid_psycho’ who got crafty with the gas traps, and in the process stumbled on what has to be the quickest way to rotate a Pathfinder around the map. “When I saw the ‘we found a new glitch with Caustic and Gibraltar’ post I was thinking if you can do the same thing with pathfinder,and the results were amazing,” Solid_psycho said. Already nestled inside of a gas trap, Caustic dropped a second canister directly in front of him. This might have helped to exaggerate the effects of the bug, flinging the newly spawned gas trap across the map. Just before liftoff, however, Pathfinder impaled the canister with his Grappling Hook. Since he immediately tracks toward wherever the hook lands, they were bound to the flying gas trap. It’s a silly animation since he went blasting off like a rocket, but as strange as it is, this could be used for interesting situations. The Caustic bug in conjunction with Pathfinder’s hook can give a team huge counterattack potential. Flinging a Pathfinder on their own could be dangerous, but if your team is trapped with nowhere to go it could be worth sending the Forward Scout out and around the enemy team to break up the aggro. Conversely, if your team is too deep outside of the circle’s perimeters, then a last ditch effort to send him forward could at least give your squad a last-ditch effort to compete in the match. It’ll be interesting to see if Apex Legends players can find more practical uses for the combo before Respawn patches out the gas canister bug.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug turns game into fist fight with no map Apex Legends players have uncovered a strange new bug that gets rid of the World’s Edge map and throws their legends into a mapless fist fight for the ages. Even though it launched to much fanfare back in February of 2019 and looked set to be the ‘Fortnite killer,’ Apex Legends has had plenty of issues to go along with its success. Respawn Entertainment’s foray into the battle royale market is currently into its third season of seasonal content, with the fourth right around the corner. While players are looking forward to getting back into the King’s Canyon map that they came to know and love, a brand new bug has seen the game struggle to load World’s Edge and place players onto a strange floating surface – all while making it seem like there is a normal match in progress. In a post to the Apex Legends subreddit, user AnonymousBnS showcased a clip from a recent game where the map failed to load in. While this has been an issue in season three – with players being sucked to the ground and killed, or greeted with hypnotic lights – this bug let them play. However, instead of picking a landing spot and grabbing loot, the match became a brawl to end all brawls, as every legend immediately set about throwing a barrage of melee attacks. What made it even stranger, though, are the incredibly disorientating lines that appeared on the screen. It’s not just the fact that the game isn’t working as planned, but that if you want to partake in the strange fun, you might end up feeling a bit sick afterwards. Even though it looked pretty insane, fellow players who laid their eyes upon the clip recognized that it might actually be fun to experience at least once. “Omg this looks like fun though,” commented user essjane. Another, a Redditor by the name of SLonoed, added: “Can we have this as a next game mod?” Comment byu/AnonymousBnS from discussion inapexlegends However, not everyone was as enthusiastic about playing on the mapless setting, with other players reporting that they’d run into a similar bug, but instead of fist fighting, they were left to continually fly around in circles. Of course, the battle royale isn’t supposed to be played like this at all, but seeing as it’s cropping up a good bit, it’s worth noting that Respawn hasn’t yet launched a fix. It remains to be seen if they do address the issue or if its something that will have to wait until the new season.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug spawns endless R-99s in matches A bizarre bug has surfaced in Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends, which sees the fan-favorite R-99 SMG duplicated up to twenty times, much to players’ confusion. Despite being an immensely popular battle royale – hitting 50 million players faster than Epic Games’ Fortnite – Apex Legends has experienced its fair share of bugs and glitches since its February release. Recent bugs have seen players catapulted into the sky or simply being prohibited from throwing a Thermite grenade. This R-99 glitch, however, may well be the strangest of all. A number of Reddit users have posted to draw attention to the glitch, which bizarrely duplicates the weapon in death-boxes 20 times, leading to some very confused Apex players. The first post, from Reddit user ‘camhunter’, shows them take out an enemy and go to loot. However, upon opening their opponent’s death-box, they are met with 19 R-99s, of which they swap out one for their Peacekeeper. The player then returns to the box after eliminating another enemy, seemingly to double-check whether their eyes were deceiving them, or there was in fact an abundance of R-99s in the enemy’s death-box. They weren’t the only ones to encounter the bizarre bug either. Another Reddit user, ‘ZigaGames’, also shared the bug on December 26, with the simple caption: “Twenty R-99s?, in a now-deleted post. Attached was a photo showing an identical glitch, in which an eliminated enemy’s death-box offers twenty R-99s. So far, the glitch seems to only be occurring to the R-99, and seems to be happening to more than one individual. However, it’s possible that it could also be affecting other weapons. As of the publication of this article, Respawn have not responded to the bizarre bug, but a quick patch can be expected once it’s on the developer’s radar. As popular as the R-99 is, twenty of them seems a bit overkill.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug leaves players knocked forever Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends players have been trapped by a quirky new glitch that leaves them stuck in a knocked-state for the rest of the match. While Season 5 may have introduced an assortment of new content, the latest major update to Respawn’s battle royale also came with its fair share of bugs. From inconsistent hit registration to awkward movement glitches, the developers are well aware and working on a number of critical issues already. However, a brand new bug might shoot to the top of their list as players are being knocked down permanently following the recent update. With only 13 squads left standing in a May 19 match, Reddit user ‘mapleleafbot’ was well on the way to a win. Before long, disaster struck and they were knocked to the ground. Nothing out of the ordinary, they simply lost a gunfight. As soon as they were revived, however, they were unable to properly get back in the fight. Their weapons were unusable and they weren’t able to move at a regular pace. All they could do was stand around and trigger a flimsy Common Knockdown Shield. There’s no telling what exactly brought about this bizarre issue. It could be a one in a million animation glitch. Perhaps network latency played a role. Without comment from the developers it’s impossible to gauge. Playing as Season 5 Legend, Loba, there’s even a chance that the new character might have been the cause. Eventually, they were taken out of the match by an opposing squad. Unable to put up a fight, their run came to an unfortunate conclusion. While there’s no clear way of avoiding the issue until a new patch is released, it could be around for quite some time. Respawn developers recently listed a batch of critical issues in focus for the next update. The revive glitch is yet to appear on their radar.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug makes Wraith’s portal a death trap This unusual glitch with Wraith’s Dimensional Rift has led to Apex Legends players being completely trapped in a ceiling. Apex Legends is one of the most popular battle royale games available, however, it does also come with its fair share of glitches and exploits. Although they tend to get patched by developers Respawn Entertainment relatively quickly, any player who is lucky (or unlucky) enough to encounter them can often have their game ruined. Wraith’s ultimate ability, Dimensional Rift, has been host to many bugs in the past due to the unique nature of the two portals that it opens. One Apex Legends player, u/TechnoPup, revealed that they had encountered yet another glitch with the fan-favorite character after they chased an opposing Wraith through a portal. To their surprise when they came out the other end of the Dimensional Rift, TechnoPup appeared to have been trapped in the ceiling while remnants of the portal remained around their character. TechnoPup seemed to try everything to escape from the glitch, even using Pathfinder’s grapple ability to pull the character out of it. However, unfortunately for the player, even that did not seem to do the trick, as the grapple just continued to cycle endlessly against the floor. Comment byu/TechnoPup from discussion inapexlegends “After the recording, a lifeline walked in and killed me. I was knocked in the air.” the player later commented, explaining that even after being knocked they could not escape the bug. There have been similar bugs including Wraith’s portal in the past, including one where the player was stuck in a continuous loop while traveling between the character’s two rifts. Others even allowed players to create infinite portals, though this was later patched in an update, but had been possible for months.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug makes Jump Towers completely useless Respawn EntertainmentJump Towers are a useful tool for Apex Legends players looking to escape enemy squads or travel long distances, but a strange bug seems to be rendering them completely useless. When it comes to traveling huge distances in Apex Legends, players can either use Legend abilities, Gravity Cannons on Storm Point, or of course, the original Jump Towers on World’s Edge and Kings Canyon. A lot of the time, squads will use the Jump Towers during intense scenarios, whether it’s escaping an enemy team or getting back into the ring to avoid taking damage. So, it’s essential they work or it could cost players their lives or even a victory. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug affecting the Jump Towers at the moment that’s kicking players off at the top, and it’s causing a lot of frustration. Jump Towers seem to be broken in Apex Legends After failing to escape an aggressive enemy team using Valkyrie’s Ultimate, Reddit user Valentin3288 realized the only way out would be to use the nearby Jump Tower. Activating Ash’s Ultimate mid-air, they made it to the tower and began scaling up to the top. Although it seemed like they were about to make a great escape, all of a sudden the top of the Jump Tower disappeared out of nowhere, forcing them to fall down to the ground. For whatever reason, the bug rendered the Jump Tower completely useless and made it impossible for Valentin3288 to reach the top. It’s hard to know exactly why this glitch occurred, but it doesn’t seem like Valentin3288 is the only one that’s been affected by this issue based on the comments in the thread. “I have another video of me repeatedly trying it (up top) and it never worked lol, I got shredded seconds after,” wrote one player. While this certainly isn’t as serious as the Rampage and Sentinel exploit, it’s a bug that definitely needs to be addressed by Respawn. No one wants to die to ring damage just because a Jump Tower isn’t functioning properly, especially if it’s in the later stages of a match.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug makes Caustic traps disappear Respawn EntertainmentA bizarre Apex Legends bug has been making Caustic’s traps disappear and players aren’t too happy about it. Everybody’s favorite gaseous Apex Legends guy, Caustic, has experienced his fair share of bugs since release. Most have to do with his famed Nox Gas Trap, from things like canceling Fuse’s ultimate, and sending Pathfinder flying, to it straight up being invisible and taking down unsuspecting enemies without warning. Now, another peculiar glitch has popped up that makes the traps completely disappear without any rhyme or reason. Apex Legends bug making Caustic traps vanish Adding to the list of Caustic bugs comes Reddit user TheNamesFeeley who, while reviving a teammate in a match, watched one of their own traps disappear into thin air. The Redditor asked, “Why has this never been fixed? It’s gotten me killed a number of times,” and provided a video clip of what had happened. This had several other Apex fans confused as well, with one joking, “That barrel legit just said adios and dipped.” Others went on to point out how Caustic-specific bugs have seemingly been ignored since the game first came out. “None of the caustic bugs since season 2 have been acknowledged enough to be fixed,” one player commented. “The last one that was noticed became a feature as a nerf, the one about his gas thickness.” This isn’t the first time a significant Caustic bug has been brought up and it probably won’t be the last. Though, only time will tell if Respawn Entertainment will address the Legend’s problems.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug makes bodies fall from the sky & players are terrified Respawn EntertainmentA strange bug in Apex Legends is causing lifeless bodies to fall from the sky in random locations and no one can figure out why it’s happening. When playing Apex Legends, it’s essential to remain vigilant and keep a sharp eye on your surroundings as enemy squads can appear out of nowhere with a sneak attack. As a result, a lot of players are constantly scanning the horizon and looking for any movement or sound. Despite this, unless there’s an enemy Valkyrie nearby, it’s rare anyone will look directly upwards unless they hear a noise. So, when lifeless bodies began falling from the sky for no reason at all, it’s safe to say it took players by surprise. Lifeless bodies are falling from the sky in Apex Legends In the last few days, multiple players have captured lifeless bodies falling from the sky in random locations on Storm Point. One of them was Kanji4Vermilion, who posted the clip to the Apex Legends subreddit on January 15 after witnessing a squad of bodies fall on top of their location. The strange occurrence “scared” Kanji4Vermilion and took them completely by surprise. It’s unlikely the dead Legends were eliminated in the air, as none of them had any death boxes and shortly disappeared after landing with a thud. While some players assumed the bug was only occurring on Storm Point, user ChurchThe3rd witnessed it happening on Worlds Edge as well. It’s hard to know what is actually triggering the bug as the bodies seem to fall in random locations, but there’s no doubt it generates some hilarious reactions. Although Respawn will need to look into this glitch, it’s definitely not a serious issue like the Rampage and Sentinel exploit. However, in the midst of an intense gunfight, the last thing a player wants is a lifeless body falling on top of them. So, it’ll be interesting to see if the devs tackle the issue quickly, or decide it’s not a priority for the time being.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug lets players dual wield different guns Electronic ArtsApex Legends introduced akimbo, or dual-wield, guns in Season 22 for the P2020 or Mozambique, and one player found a bug that let them dual-wield both sidearms at once. Respawn intended for players to only be able to dual wield the same weapon, making the Mozambique and P2020 even more formidable in the new season. The Akimbo versions of the weapons have been well received by the player base, as they can be game-changing on the right Legend in certain scenarios. However, one player has discovered a bug that allowed them to wield for the P2020 and Mozambique simultaneously in their dual-wield form. In a post on Reddit, the player detailed that the bugged Akimbo weapons even had the correct reload animations. “They shot how they were supposed to lol, one shotgun spread and one pistol round one after the other,” the player explained. While the player who posted the bug had no idea how he triggered it, a Reddit user in the thread explained that Ballistic – thanks to his passive that allows him to hold three weapons at a time – has a high chance of causing these glitches. “Ballistic has a higher chance of getting bugged with the akimbo, there’s a chance to do it with every weapon and one of the akimbo weapons,” the user said. While the bug looks like it could be a fun strategy if pulled off consistently, the player who found it said the shooting was “sporadic and weird.” They said the weapons still fired off one after another so it felt slower than when dual-wielding the same gun. “Not only that but the magazine size is 13 (unlike the 16 you see in the corner) and you have to reload with three ‘shots left’, it’s the worst of both worlds,” the player said. Ballistic has been one of the worst Apex Legends characters for a few seasons, as his kit is underwhelming compared to his counterparts. While this bug is intriguing, it doesn’t give players more reason to play him than they usually would despite how bizarre and unique it is.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug lets Pathfinder zipline to the heavens Mokeysniper | TwitterAn odd Pathfinder bug in Apex Legends allows him to send his zipline ultimate to the skies and lead his teammates into the heavens. Apex Legends has had its fair share of bugs over the years. From mildly irritating to game-breaking, there’s a whole range of glitches that have been ironed out over the years. But sometimes, there’s a bug that comes around that’s just plain bizarre. Some bugs aren’t particularly disruptive and don’t break the game in any way, but definitely use game mechanics in a way that wasn’t intended. A recently discovered Pathfinder bug is just that. This isn’t a bug that’s going to break the fabric of Apex Legends as we know it, but it certainly allows for some shenanigans. Apex Legends Pathfinder bug takes teammates to the skies Apex Legends content creator Mokeysniper posted a Twitter video showing off a strange Pathfinder glitch that allows him to attach his zipline ultimate to seemingly nothing at all. This bug isn’t overly useful considering that heading into the skies makes you a very obvious target, but it certainly adds some spice to an average game of Apex Legends. And, since Pathfinder can place multiple ziplines at a time, Mokeysniper could be seen sending sky-bound zips all over the map over the course of the game. Normally, Pathfinder’s ultimate can be a little inconsistent. It’ll snap to terrain and force players to adjust the trajectory of the zip in order to be placed. However, this bug has thrown all that aside and allowed players to toss ziplines wherever they want. Sort of. This bug only works in Gun Run, and the zipline is attached to the map boundary that marks the area of play for the limited-time mode. A video posted on Reddit shows the key to this trick a bit more clearly. You can clearly see the zipline attached to the map boundary here. It’s considerably less game-breaking than Pathfinder being able to place a zipline wherever he wants. Considering that Gun Run was made to be a fun game mode rather than a competitive one, this Pathfinder bug only adds to the hilarity and chaos.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug lets Loba teleport under the map Brooke Olson / Respawn EntertainmentA strange bug has been discovered in Apex Legends that lets Loba use her Burglar’s Best Friend tactical ability to teleport under World’s Edge. The underground Supply Bins located at the train stops have an interesting mechanic that is used to elevate the crates when the locomotive pulls up to a station. This makes the once-inaccessible bins come to the same plane as players, letting them open the loot crates. However, even if a bin is locked underground, the High Society Thief still has a way to access its contents by using her Black Market Boutique ultimate to sift through the wares and grab what she wants. Well user ‘KingDududu’ found that once she does get into the underground Supply Bins, the lid of it protrudes and glitches through the Arena’s floor. But Loba can also use this opening to etch her way under the map using her teleportation bracelet. “We found a weird glitch where if Loba uses her ult to grab something out of the train supply bins, it opens and allows you to teleport inside,” they said. The player’s clip shows their team of three reeling from seeing Loba crouched on top of the loot crate while the Supply Bin’s platform has yet to be activated. While the video only shows the Legend stationary and crouched to remain hidden, it also shows her shooting her bracelet out of the underground box to get back into the action. If a player using Loba comes across one of these opened Supply Bins underground, it could give her the ability to ditch incoming attackers or lie in wait to ambush an unsuspecting opponent. This would be one of those bugs that Respawn work to patch quickly, like they did with the glitch that didn’t let the Burglar’s Best Friend bracelet work in certain scenarios throughout the Arena. Although this time Loba’s ultimate also contributes to the glitch so the devs might have to address a couple of different elements to fix this one. In either case, watch out for any suspicious Supply Bins poking out from the ground in Apex Legends, ’cause there could be a Loba prowling underneath.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug keeps players permanently downed in Season 11 Respawn EntertainmentA strange bug in Apex Legends is keeping players in a permanently downed state, despite being revived and even respawned via a beacon. Season 11 is well underway in Apex Legends and the community is finally getting to grips with the lethal CAR SMG and the new Legend Ash. While Escape has received overwhelming praise from players, it did have a few issues at launch including death spots on the Storm Point map, and an exploit allowing Ash to stack infinite EVO shields. Although these new bugs were quickly patched and resolved, a number of old bugs still continue to affect players, with the devs seemingly unable to fix them at the time of writing. One that seems to pop up every few updates and has returned in Season 11 is the permanently downed glitch, making it impossible to revive or respawn a squadmate in a match. Strange Apex Legends bug keeps players permanently downed After taking an intense gunfight on Storm Point, Reddit user Deox_00 was quickly downed by a Bangalore Ultimate and left waiting to be revived. Coming to the rescue, their Lifeline squadmate ran over for the res and began getting Deox_00 back up to help in the skirmish, but after the revive animation was finished, Deox_00 was somehow still downed. Strangely, they were still able to shoot and fire their weapon, but could not use Shield Batteries or Med Kits, meaning Deox_00 was swiftly taken down. Despite being left in two versus three, Deox_00’s teammates won the gunfight and took their banner to a Respawn Beacon. Even this didn’t fix the bug, with Deox_00 being dropped into the map in a downed state, making it impossible to help their team. It’s hard to know exactly why this bug occurred on the Storm Point map, but it’s been an issue in-game for multiple seasons. While it may be incredibly rare, it completely takes a player out of the match and renders them useless. As this is such a long-standing glitch, it’s hard to know whether it’ll ever be fixed. However, it doesn’t seem to happen very often so it’s unlikely you’ll ever be left permanently downed in any of your matches.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug is teleporting players across the map Respawn/EAApex Legends players have run into a huge issue where they are teleported across the map if they’re knocked after trying to use a Replicator. [jwplayer ePrNLj8A] With Apex Legends Season 7 on the horizon, fans of Respawn Entertainment’s battle royale are looking forward to what the next big update will bring – including a new legend, a potential new map, as well as changes to the current legends and weapon pool. However, in the meantime, they’re still running around King’s Canyon and World’s Edge, trying to rack up wins and pick up the last few bits of the Season 6 battle pass. Yet, some players have been hit with an unusual problem that is teleporting them back to a Replicator if they’re knocked down during a firefight. The unusual issue was flagged by Reddit user i7estrox, who showed that it all stemmed from them trying to use a Replicator. One side of the crafting machine was inaccessible, but they were fine to use the others. As they progressed on in their match, i7estrox engaged a team of enemies and despite getting some decent shots off, they were knocked down. However, instead of staying where they were knocked, the Redditor was sent hurtling across the map. They were taken right back to the side of the Replicator that was inaccessible at first, and left to lay there as their teammates continued on fighting. It seems likely that, given i7estrox tried to access the inaccessible side of the Replicator at first, the game registered them as still using it for some reason, even though they’d moved on and that’s why they were teleported back. Other players have confirmed that they’ve fallen victim to the same problem, so Respawn might have to get their skates on and get the issue ironed out for Season 7 – unless they have already. But, we’ll just have to keep an eye on that.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug is ruining games by playing music to everyone Respawn EntertainmentA bizarre Apex Legends bug is ruining games in a hilarious (albeit incredibly frustrating) manner – playing random music to players as they are in battle royale matches. Apex Legends has seen its fair share of bugs since its launch. Like any game of its size, unwelcome issues, consistency problems, and glitches can rear their ugly heads, as much as developers try and see them off. They can vary massively though – from the egregious that undo ranked progress to the minor that let characters hurl themselves around the map like boomerangs. This one falls somewhere in the middle: frustrating and potentially game ruining, but also completely random and amusing. The bug was pinpointed by Redditor Skyrider_Epsilon, who managed to capture the moment during an Xbox Ranked lobby. Towards the end of the game, and with the circle closing in, obnoxiously loud music begins to play for no clear reason. “Every match seems to play some kind of…. music?” the Redditor said. They also confirmed that every other player in the game heard the music. Other Redditors responded to confirm that similar issues had affected their games recently, with little to no explanation. One said: “It happened to me, I was hearing Holo day bash music for some reason.” Another joked: “Ah yes, need to hear footsteps? Here’s a chord instead.” Respawn have not yet commented on the bug, but it appears to have become more common during Season 10. There also does seem to be a complete fix, with some Redditors stating that turning music off completely in Apex’s menu prevents the issue from occurring. It’s not ideal, and can almost certainly cloak the noises of incoming enemies. However, it does seem to affect the whole lobby, so at least it remains a level playing field, albeit a loud one.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug is catapulting players to their deaths on Olympus Respawn EntertainmentAn amusing yet devastating bug in Apex Legends is launching players higher than they’ve ever been before. So high in fact, that it outright crashes the game. Glitches are always a hot topic in Respawn’s hugely popular battle royale. While some can be lighthearted, bringing a smile to your face. Meanwhile, others can be infuriating, taking control out of your hands. The latest puzzling issue in Apex is a mixed bag. It’s equal parts amusing and frustrating as players are being launched sky-high on Olympus. Just through an awkward bit of collision, Legends can be shot into the sky with a brand new look at the latest map. But you can’t enjoy the view for too long, as everything comes crashing down, quite literally. “This is a game-breaking experience,” Reddit user ‘Jolly-Moment’ shared on December 20. They were casually riding through Olympus with their team before disaster struck. Running up a staircase outside the lab turned out to be the final part of their run. Allies were jokingly crashing into them before it all went south. One wrong hit and they were awkwardly smashed up against a wall. In just a split moment they went from being grounded to being catapulted into the sky. A “Get Back in the Ring” warning remained stuck on-screen while they were trapped floating above the map. There was nothing they could do to float back down and no way they could reconnect with their teammates. It was all doomed from this point forward as all three players were allegedly booted from the game as well. “All our games crashed after this,” they added. What seemed amusing at first quickly put a stop to their session. This should serve as a lesson to the driver of your team. Even the most innocent little bumps to a player on-foot could quite literally break the game. All the more reason to be careful and avoid collision where possible. It seems to be a totally random collision issue on that section of the map. So don’t expect to be able to recreate this one easily in your own games.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug gives player “silenced” Wingman Phisheyy | RedditAn incredibly rare Apex Legends bug leaves a player with a Wingman that appears to be silenced. But, what’s even more strange is that the optics may be cut content from Season 1. Apex Legends has had its fair share of bugs from the outset of Season 14. Between heat shields working in some unintended ways, to Wattson having invisible fences, not everything has been working as intended. However, one very strange bug gave someone a silenced Wingman with a sight that was never officially added to Apex Legends. Apex Legends bug gives Wingman a new look Reddit user Phisheyy went to heal himself with a phoenix kit, and, upon re-equipping his pistol, it looked entirely different. Phisheyy’s Wingman now had what appears to be a silencer, as well as an ornate 1X sight that may be cut content from the very first season of Apex Legends. Twitter user Garregrrt pointed out the optics. While the “silencer” is certainly the star of the show here, we’ve never had skins for optics before, either. While this bug isn’t nearly as impactful as some of the nastier ones currently plaguing Apex Legends, it certainly stands out. However, the same Twitter user that pointed out the optic being cut content from Season 1 made a quick YouTube video explaining what makes this glitch occur. Every weapon in Apex Legends was built to fit a wide range of attachments, even if they aren’t currently possible to equip on that weapon. What appears to be a silencer is actually a gold barrel stabilizer from earlier seasons, and this bug resulted from it being left over in the game files. This glitch certainly isn’t new, either. A post from Reddit user Kazyon over two years ago shows the firearm with a 3x sight on it, as well as a barrel stabilizer that looks more like the standard version you’d pick up off the ground. While this may be a bug and an unintended look for the Wingman, it could also be a peek into what weapon customization might look like in the future if Respawn decides to give the Wingman some more versatile attachment options.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug gives Caustic traps a mind of their own A bizarre Apex Legends bug causes Caustic’s Nox Gas Traps to zoom away from where they were supposed to be placed. Apex player zProxy420 has identified a bug that sees Caustic’s traps go flying off along the floor instead of staying where they land. The bug appears to occur when the traps bounce off of another obstacle before they land. Once they do hit the ground, they appear to stutter forward while they grow to their full size, before zooming off in whatever direction they were travelling in. It’s not entirely clear from the clip whether or not the traps have a maximum travel distance, or whether they will simply keep going indefinitely until they hit an obstacle they can’t move past. With no previous reports of this bug having been widespread, it appears the issue has arisen since the introduction of the December 3 update, which introduced changes to player progression. Respawn have yet to respond to the glitch, and neither is it currently listed on their bug tracker, which notes the issues that the developers are aware of and currently working on. While it does make for a rather amusing spectacle, obviously this issue could cause some problems for Caustic players if they’re actually aiming to set a trap in a particular location, and it instead runs off with an apparent mind of its own. Realistically there probably aren’t any ways this bug can be utilized to a player’s benefit within the typical process of play, but it’s worth being aware of if only so you can ensure your traps actually go where you intended them to. For players looking for ways to make the game more interesting, however, it’s easy to imagine that there could be a rather entertaining trick available to anyone creative enough to actually use this bug to outplay an opponent in some way.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug crashes game when players loot enemies A strange bug in Apex Legends is preventing players from doing one of the most needed things in the game, search for loot. While it may have fallen behind Fortnite after its stunning launch in February, Apex Legends is still going strong in its own right, with over 70 million players having jumped in for at least one match of the trio-based battle royale. It’s also into its third season, with excitement building for season four, however, some players are still running into problems across the map – with the newest coming in the form of crashes when you attempt to loot an enemy player. Players have made numerous posts to the Apex Legends subreddit showing off their problems, explaining that they will typically run into a white screen with a few black codes – with the lower-left corner box containing a try again message and a string of code. “There was a problem processing game logic. Please try again,” it reads before the line about in-game coding refers to an index of 0 being larger than the array size of 0, presumably prompting the error. These problems haven’t been limited to one or two players, however, as others have been backing up their screenshots with comments of their own. “Every time I get that crash I was in train, didn’t know if it was connected,” said user Underwood914, while Omenhachi stated that they had footage of the crash if that was any help to the game’s developers. The Respawn development team does, typically, peruse the subreddit for user complaints about the game, responding from time to time about how they get things fixed for upcoming updates. As of writing, they haven’t responded to any of the threads posted about this error, so it remains to be seen if they are aware of it – and if they are, what they plan to do to get it resolved.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug changes which character you’re using An Apex Legends fan has uncovered a strange bug that changes the character of a respawning teammate – giving them the abilities of someone else. Respawn Entertainment’s take on the battle genre has been going strong since dropping its third season, Meltdown. The new seasonal content release gave fans a long-awaited new map, as well as the newest legend Crypto. However, it hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows, as players have pulled up plenty of problems. The Shadowfall limited-time mode, which was used to celebrate Halloween, bugged out on a regular basis and denied players the chance to pick up a win. Aside from that, fans have also had issues healing up and reviving teammates. Yet, a new problem has arisen, and it’s taking players away from the legend that they initially had chosen and handing them another. In a post to the Apex Legends subreddit, user Secres showcased a video of the new problem from a recent game. In the clip, the Redditor is awaiting two respawning teammates – one using Octane, and another as Pathfinder. Read More: Apex Legends Black Friday event leaked – Keeping your eyes peeled on the bottom left-hand side of the video is key, as when the Octane user is respawned, they have magically changed into Gibraltar, complete with the different ability set – it’s not just a visual bug. Some fans were left confused by what they had seen, with one noting that it could happen if you hit the escape button on a keyboard during the respawn process. Another user, named 1mVeryH4ppy, could see the funny side, joking: “He evolved, just like a Pokemon.” Now, the Respawn development team do keep an eye on the game’s subreddit, and have responded to similar strange bugs in the past. However, as of writing, they’ve not replied to the post, so it remains to be seen if they are aware of the problem and if a fix is in the works for anytime soon.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug bounces bullets and equipment away from targets Respawn Entertainment[jwplayer UQowmNq2]In the past week, the Apex Legends community has been absolutely dumbfounded by some new collision bugs that seem to be causing certain shots and equipment to ricochet away from their intended targets. The first instance in which this bug was observed felt like a scene straight out of a surreal anime. Albralelie, a professional player for TSM, fired a Sentinel shot at an enemy on July 20 only for the bullet to be…punched away? From Albralelie’s POV, players were quick to note that maybe he had missed and the Wraith or someone had fired back a missed Sentinel shot at precisely the right time. While this would provide a comforting answer, the mystery isn’t so easily solved as the enemy doesn’t seem to be in the process of shooting at all. Confirming that the foe was not shooting and was, in fact, punching—the internet is fortunate enough to have the downed player’s POV as well. From their angle, you can clearly see their teammate come into view mid-punch, then a second trail of smoke as the bullet is redirected in the opposite direction. Unless Respawn Entertainment has shadow buffed melee in the game to the extent that players can now time punches to deflect incoming damage, Apex Legends seems to have a collision bug on its hands. And the glitch isn’t limited to snipers and punches, as evidenced by another clip shared on Reddit by ‘turndown4matte.’ In their clip, they’re playing Caustic and throw out his ultimate, Nox Gas Grenade, only for it to mysteriously alter course midway through the air, diverting its path and curving to the left. In the clip, you can also see that their teammate throws an Arc Star moments before the Gas Bomb launches along the exact same trajectory. With nothing else involved, bullets or punches, it stands to reason that there is some sort of collision bug involved in these equipment interactions as well. There is no sensible answer to either of these clips. In both, game elements appear to interact in a way that was not intended. Punching bullets and deflecting grenades with other thrown equipment could be pretty cool, but they haven’t been a part of Apex Legends and it would feel strange for those mechanics to be suddenly, covertly introduced. As of yet, there has been no response from the game’s developers. In the meantime, maybe space out your team’s grenade tosses.

Bizarre Apex Legends bug awards player with a victory for doing nothing Getting a win in Apex Legends can be a pretty difficult ordeal, but this bug has made things about as easy as they can be for players. Most players will have to defeat 19 other squads to come away with a victory in Apex, but this player was able to skip all of the hard stuff and earn the victory right away. The hit battle royale title from Respawn Entertainment has had its share of bugs over its lifespan, but this one might be one of the craziest we’ve seen so far. Instead of having to loot weapons, eliminating other players, and getting to safe zones, all these players had to do was drop into the game. That’s right – all Reddit user gbarreto had to do was queue up, and they were rewarded with perhaps the easiest victory ever. The only thing he had to do was land on the ground and secure the win. For whatever reason, he spawned in all by himself, without even having teammates. This isn’t the first time this bug has popped up and it probably won’t be the last, but it’s not really game-breaking outside of rewarding players with a simple victory. Getting free wins is almost nice, but being spawned into a ghost lobby like this frequently would quickly become annoying. Read More: Insane third-person Apex Easter egg found – What would be even crazier is if getting a win this way would result in a tougher lobby next time thanks to the implementation of skill-based matchmaking. If the game sees you’re winning a bunch of matches, it might decide to put you in with players who are also winning. Of course, bugged lobbies like this won’t happen very often so players shouldn’t have to worry about that. The developers haven’t addressed or fixed this issue as of yet, so keep an eye on the Trello board and see if anything pops up there in the coming days. In the meantime, perhaps you’ll be able to bring home an easy win by getting into an empty lobby.

Bizarre Apex glitch lets players go inside the Leviathans’ legs Fresh off the launch of Apex Legends Season 2, the Leviathans are playing a big role, with them moving around the map and everything, but it turns out there’s a way to get into the their legs with your squad. Players were excited about what the Leviathans would do with Season 2 after Respawn teased their movement near the end of Season 1, and the results have been a bit of a mixed bag. On one hand, you have the ability to get high-tier loot if you’re quick enough, but on the other hand, you have this potentially game-breaking glitch that allows players to hide inside of the leg and survive endless stomps. That isn’t supposed to happen Reddit user wingedkeyboard showed that if you have a Wraith portal combined with Octane’s jump pad, you are actually able to get into the Leviathan’s leg – definitely something that wasn’t intended by the developers. In fact, a Respawn developer commented on the thread sharing his sadness over the issue. This won’t be a glitch you see happening all that often but it’s definitely something that would be annoying to go against, especially if the circle closes in around a Leviathan’s leg and you have no way to eliminate the enemy team. Respawn will just have to add this onto the list of bugs that have to be fixed for Season 2. If this were Season 1, it still wouldn’t be ideal to have this bug but at least that was before a ranked mode was in the game. With the new ranking system, players are able to rank up and get better rewards using this “strategy” so it’s worth getting one fixed as quickly as possible. Apex Legends Season 2 is off to a good start among players, despite the setbacks with the bugs, and fans are hoping the goodwill keeps rolling.

Big Crypto rework idea would finally make him popular in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentAn Apex Legends player has completely redesigned Crypto’s abilities and proposed changes that may finally help bring the hacker into the meta. Arriving all the way back in Season 3 of Apex Legends, Crypto has never managed to gain a foothold in the meta. While Respawn attempted to improve his overall power with significant buffs in Season 12, many of the community felt the changes didn’t go far enough. This is reflected in his extremely low pick rate of just 1.3% in Season 14, putting him at the very bottom of the roster in terms of popularity. Well, instead of waiting for Respawn to solve the issue, one Apex player has decided to rework Crypto’s entire kit themselves, and it’s getting a lot of praise from the community. Crypto rework concept completely transforms his abilities Reddit user AstronomerSenior4236 has outlined a “definitive” Crypto rework on the Apex Legends subreddit, making changes to every single one of the Surveillance Expert’s abilities. Beginning with an entirely new Passive, Proximity Firewall allows Crypto to detect the number of squads in a 200m radius while aiming down sights unarmed. This would give the hacker an extra level of awareness and ensure his squad isn’t caught off-guard by a set of foes laying in wait. For the Tactical, AstronomerSenior4236 has added the original Neurolink Passive that marks enemies 30m away from your position to the drone as default and made it so the drone can pick materials for his team. Finally, Crypto has the option to activate his EMP on himself if his drone is destroyed or not deployed. This gives the Surveillance Expert a boost in close-range skirmishes but comes at the cost of being hit by your own Ultimate. As showcased above, a lot of effort has gone into creating this concept, with AstronomerSenior4236 even listing down the pros & cons for each change. Without a doubt, this rework would boost Crypto’s power and popularity, something the community has been wanting for a long time. Let’s hope this concept gets the attention of Respawn and potentially spurs them to make significant improvements to the Surveillance Expert’s kit in the near future.

Better Apex Legends Passive idea for Pathfinder would make him the ultimate teammate Respawn/EAApex Legends players have come up with a pretty neat idea that would change Pathfinder’s passive and become an even better teammate, however, not everyone is sold. As the Apex Legends seasons and updates have continued, fans of Respawn’s popular battle royale title have been coming with their own ideas for new legends, current legend changes, and more. Ever so often, as Respawn states they’re considering changes, a new idea catches the eye of fans because it seems they’ve struck gold and found the change that Respawn needs to make. More often than not, the developers go in a different direction, but a new idea for Pathfinder passive might be something they want to consider. It comes from Apex Legends player mrdounut101, who suggested making it so that Pathfinder can use his grapple hook to scoop up teammates’ death boxes or reel in a downed teammate. The concept ability is aptly named ‘I’ve got you, friend!’ and on top of just being able to help teammates, the Redditor suggests that it could also be used to destroy ziplines created by Pathfinder’s ultimate. This would make it so that Pathfinder players, and their teammates, don’t have to shoot the zipline to make it go away. They could do it pretty quietly with the hook, thus, staying hidden from enemies who might be nearby. Plenty of players praised the idea, pointing out that Rampart can destroy her own walls, so Pathfinder should be able to destroy ziplines. Other players weren’t so keen on the idea however. “This isn’t a passive ability in any way nor does it fit Pathfinder’s role as a Recon class character,” said one, while another suggested that the passive buff should let Pathfinder travel faster on ziplines over everything else. While the idea might have some backing from fans, Respawn will probably go in a different direction so that the passive focuses on something else, rather than another use for the hook.

How to get better aim in Apex Legends: aim training tips & tricks Respawn EntertainmentThere are a few things that Apex Legends players can practice to greatly improve their aim in the battle royale. From working on mechanics to killing the bad habits you’ve gotten used to, we’ve got a couple of ideas of how to aim better in Apex Legends. Firefights in Apex Legends can explode into chaos at the drop of a hat. In these moments, your aim is generally the first thing that suffers from improper technique. From pros to casual players, everyone should be practicing in-game habits if you’re looking to improve your aim in a fast-paced game like Apex Legends. There’s plenty of things that you can do before jumping into a match, or even as you’re playing, so take a look down below for more. Make use of the Firing range In a less stressful environment, Respawn’s Firing Range has a ton of elements that you can use to get 10-20 minutes of practice before playing games. From long-range tracking to short-range crosshair placement, there are plenty of opportunities to warm up in range that you’ll want to use before going into a match. For even better results, we recommend going into the Firing Range with some friends and enabling the friendly fire option. This will allows you and your friends to engage in 1v1 gunfights that can better fine-tune your aim and reaction time. Practice with the 3D Aim Trainer One external source you can use to improve your aim in Apex is the 3D Aim Trainer. Using this website, you can select your favorite Legend, weapon, and scope to simulate the real thing with a choice of 1v1 or co-op Zombie Survival modes. Better yet, it’s completely free to use, and if you sign up, you can take part in assessments that will track your aiming abilities and teach you how to get better at the game. There’s also a mobile app for both Android and IOS for on-the-go training. While practicing in the real game is obviously important, the 3D Aim Trainer will give you a less stressful place to hone your skills – and you won’t have to worry about your all-important Kill to Death ratio being affected. Aim for the head This isn’t so much a tip of how to improve, but a reminder to break the habit of aiming for the opponent’s general direction. In tense situations, people will often get complacent and aim for just landing shots on the enemy. That’ll result in just hitting the body, or worse the legs, when you could be getting more bang for your buck(shot). Aim for the head. While that sounds simplistic, some players tend to forget that when extended fights start to get sloppy. Movement and positioning Before even considering your aim reticle, ask yourself if you’re in a good position to take a fight. The vertical and spacious landscape of Apex Legends demands players to consider all engagement points, lest they become unaware to a third-party or lose a 1v1 because you were in an awful spot. There are plenty of movement tricks to master in Apex Legends, and we’ve seen that the game rewards people who use every part of the terrain to get around. You should always practice good aim, but you’ll be surprised at how many more fights you’re winning just off of being in the right place at the right time, regardless of your weapon. Read more: How to master the Mozambique in Apex Legends – Take note of where your target is and move accordingly. Don’t walk into sightlines, look for flank opportunities, use Legend abilities to move up the line, and make the opponents react to you. Center your screen Things move around the Apex Games at breakneck speeds, luckily you just have to move your mouse to keep up. Centering your screen to the focus of your attention is something that everyone catches themselves failing at from time-to-time. If you’re doing something menial, like looting in a safe place, we tend to let our eyes drift all over the place while keeping the screen fixed (usually toward the ground). You shouldn’t do that during a fight, but bad habits can quickly form. Since your crosshair rests at the center of your screen, make it a habit to constantly keep what you’re focusing on in the middle of your panel. In a fight, this will train you to track the action a lot better. As the battle evolves so will the points of interest on your screen. Keeping your screen squared in the center of your attention is a tip that spans every FPS, but something that we tend to forget at the most important times. Aiming and strafing Strafing, and counter-strafing, is a skill in itself that you need to master for any shooter, but doing so while aiming down the sights (ADS) is another story. There are instances where hip-firing is more potent than ADSing, but neither are going to do much to you if your movement and aim aren’t in-sync. Strafing creates another factor to consider when aiming at a target. Being mechanically sound with your aim means making the right adjustments as you move to the left and right. Know recoil patterns It’s important to have a concept of the many recoil patterns in Apex Legends. Every gun has its own recoil pattern in Apex Legends. There’s plenty of room to mess up a shot if you don’t have a basic idea of how the bullets are coming out in the first place. Once you get a look into Apex Legends’ different weapon recoils for different guns, you can start to practice the mouse movements that will keep your opponent in your crosshair longer. Practice what you learn Whether you’ve done the reading or seen YouTube videos of how to get better at aiming in Apex, you need to drop into the game to put them to use. While you should go into every game looking to be the Apex Champion, it’s also OK to go into a match for the sake of practice. Don’t go to the outskirts of the Arena, instead go into a hot zone where you know a few squads are going to drop in. This is going to give you a crash course in fighting and force you to pay attention to all of the mechanics/movements that need to be worked on. Improving your aim in Apex Legends won’t always be fun or easy, but constantly putting in the practice will make noticeable differences if done correcting.

Where are the best and worst places to land in Apex Legends? Apex Legends’ King’s Canyon map has a host of different points of interest where players can land and tool up, but where should you drop if you want to win, and where should you be avoiding? Apex Legends is EA and Respawn’s newest entry into the battle royale genre, with 60 players dropping into the map hoping that their team of three can outlast the rest and become champions. Picking a good landing spot is paramount to success in Apex Legends, as you will need to find somewhere to gear up before you face an onslaught of enemy fire. Here are some of the best, and worst, places to land in Apex Legends. Best places to land in Apex Legends Airbase Located on the western side of the map, Airbase is a sprawling location that is packed with floor loot, supply crates and inside the planes that are parked there. Teams generally don’t land there, but the abundance of weapons at this location usually means you have a decent chance of taking them out, and gives you easy rotations to other points of interest like Runoff and Skull Town. Thunderdome Also located on the west side of King’s Canyon, Thunderdome is a relatively quiet area that holds enough loot to gear you and your squad up before you engage in battle. Thunderdome is also directly beside Skull Town, meaning you can gear up and head in there to find any squads that decide to land there. Relay Found in the north-eastern corner of the map, Relay is a sprawling compound that is jam-packed with supply crates and floor loot. Players can loot up here before using the relaunch balloon on the outskirts of the compound to fly away and find more items. Other areas While unnamed, a number of small clusters of buildings can be found in the middle of the map, and usually have decent loot in a pinch. Players should also keep an eye out for the Hot Zone, which will appear randomly on the map with higher tier loot, and the Supply Ship which can be seen floating above the map. Worst places to land in Apex Legends Slum Lakes While Slum Lakes can provide some great rotation options depending on how the storm gathers, the loot found here is usually lower-tier, and probably not worth dropping for. Hydro Dam Hydro Dam has great loot, but is usually extremely popular, meaning you’re likely to find yourselves in an early gunfight if you choose to drop here. Bridges The central location of Bridges makes it a popular area to drop, meaning that you should probably avoid it at all costs if you’re hoping to avoid enemy contact in the opening minutes of a match. If you’re still struggling to pick up wins on the game, you can use our handy Apex Legends guide hub to learn some new tips that may be difference between victory and defeat. While we think these are some of the best and worst landing spots, everybody will have their own opinions on where they like to drop. Where is your favorite place to land? Let us know at @Dexerto and @TitanfallBlog on Twitter.

Best World’s Edge landing spots in Apex Legends Season 11 Respawn EntertainmentWorld’s Edge has some of the most impressive landscapes and structures found in Apex Legends. However, despite the map’s incredible appearance, it can sometimes be difficult to pick a landing spot that will consistently provide you with great loot. Originally released back in Season 3, World’s Edge has had a series of tweaks and changes since its conception but nothing quite like the map update that arrived in Season 10. With iconic POI’s being replaced by completely revamped areas and the map’s entire skybox being changed, Respawn didn’t hold back on the overhaul to the Worlds Edge landscape. Despite this, as with every map in Apex Legends, it can be difficult to choose where to land at the start of the match in Season 11. Some players prefer to drop into highly-contested areas, whereas others prefer the safer approach, biding their time until the end of the match. Luckily, we’ve got a list of the best World’s Edge starting locations to suit every kind of player, no matter how you like to approach a match. Best World’s Edge landing spots Climatizer What was once known as Refinery is now the bigger and significantly colder POI, Climatizer. The location is filled with buildings and loot for players to scavenge, meaning it attracts a lot more players than Refinery ever did. However, due to it being situated on the very North-West edge of the map, it’s perfect for squads who don’t want to drop into an overcrowded area. With enough loot for everyone that decides to land there and plenty of cover to hide behind, it’ll always provide you with dynamic and interesting skirmishes. Lava Siphon The ever-popular Sorting Factory was replaced by Lava Siphon in the Season 10 update, introducing a more chaotic and unpredictable layout for the POI. While the loot there remains high-tier and plentiful, it’s a location that you’ll need to be prepared to fight for. With very little space between the buildings, Lava Siphon forces players to come together to find loot, pushing teams to take a lot more gunfights and close-quarter skirmishes. If you’re confident in your ability to handle the pressure, this may be the perfect location for you. Skyhook For players who like taking gunfights in dense urban areas, where shotguns and long-range sniper rifles thrive, Skyhook may be the perfect location for you. Made up of a set of high-story buildings and a huge gravity lift, Skyhook is a high-tier loot area that’s sheltered by the large cliffs that surround it. With 26 supply bins in total and plenty of buildings filled with loot, the area has everything you need to get you and your squad set up for a game-winning match. Landslide Previously known as Train Yard, a seismic event transformed the location into the Landslide POI. Located towards the center of the map, this area will always be popular among squads looking to secure a good position on the map. With a tunnel that can easily transition players to the other side of the map, it’s definitely an incredible POI if you can wipe out the other squads. Unlike Train Yard, there’s significantly less cover in Landslide, so looting up quickly and looking to get the jump on your surrounding enemies will be the best strategy to use. If you’re not afraid of early fights and want a great tactical position on the map, consider dropping into Landslide. The Epicenter Arguably the most visually impressive part of World’s Edge, it’s hard to miss the Epicenter when you’re dropping into the map. The icy location offers players a range of high-tier loot, but don’t expect to land here alone with your squad. The Epicenter is the perfect location for players who love taking on two to three other squads at the start of the match. Although the area is rather big, expect to find your enemies at the frozen tower located in the middle of the snow-covered area. If you manage to take out the competition, there are 24 supply bins in total around the area, so you’ll definitely be ready to take home the win. That rounds off our list of the best landing spots for the Apex Legends map World’s Edge. Hopefully, this guide has provided you with plenty of locations to choose from, no matter what type of player you are.

Best weapons to use in Apex Legends Arenas: Ultimate tier list Respawn EntertainmentA set of buffs and nerfs to weapons in the Season 10 update has made it difficult to know which weapons are top-tier. So, here’s our ultimate weapons tier list for Arenas and which guns you should use to dominate your opponents. Season 10 of Apex Legends was the game’s most significant update yet, with Emergence adjusting and shifting the weapon meta in the title’s battle royale mode. Not only that, the addition of a new Legend and weapon to the game has kept the community busy and gave them a number of new mechanics to master. Respawn also gave the Arenas some attention, introducing Ranked queues to give the fast-paced 3v3 mode a competitive edge. Of course, if you’re going to climb the ranked ladder in Arenas, it’s key you know which weapons are top tier so you can dominate your opponents. Best Apex Legends weapons: Arenas Volt – Energy Submachine Gun Kicking off this list, the Volt is a versatile and easy to control weapon that thrives in the 3v3 chaos of Arenas. While this energy-based SMG may cost 550 Materials, it’s well worth the price, especially if you can afford an upgraded version heading into the later rounds. With bullet damage at 15 per shot and a recoil pattern that’s relatively easy to control, the Volt is always a solid choice when you’re unsure of what to buy. If you find you’re missing shots with the Hemlock or Flatline, the Volt may be an effective and more consistent alternative. If you’re looking to master the Volt consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. Spitfire – Care Package Heavy Machinegun Unavailable in the shop, the only way to your hands on the Spitfire is to receive the weapon from a care package drop. This means the gun will be completely kitted out with the best attachments, so it definitely deserves a spot in the S-Tier. You and your squad should always look to gain control over the area where the loot is dropped onto the Arenas map. Getting your hands on a Spitfire or one of the other care package weapons could be the difference-maker in you picking up a victory in an intense match. If you’re struggling to control the Spitfire’s recoil, consider checking out our dedicated weapon guide. Kraber. 50 CAL – Care Package Sniper As expected, the Kraber is also an S-tier weapon as it can only be acquired by picking it up from a care package. This massive sniper rifle certainly packs a punch and is capable of one-shotting enemies with full armor. If you’re able to get your hands on a Kraber in Arenas make sure you position yourself on high ground and pick off your opponents from a distance. If you’re looking to pick up more one-shot kills with Kraber, check out our weapon guide for the deadly sniper. Alternator – Care Package Light SMG While the Alternator was a solid early-round weapon in Season 9, it’s now an absolutely deadly care package weapon that easily earns its spot in the S-Tier. Similar to the Spitfire, this weapon cannot be purchased from the shop, so it’s key you gain control of the care package landing spot so you can melt your enemies with this incredible SMG. If you’re looking to completely master the Alternator, consider checking out our dedicated guide. Triple Take – Care Package Sniper Another care package weapon, the Triple Take is deadly at long range and is a lot easier to use than the Kraber. If you’re lucky enough to get this from a loot drop, make sure you’re using it to chunk out your enemies before an aggressive push with your squad. If you’re looking to completely master the Triple Take, consider checking out our dedicated guide. Prowler Burst PDW – Heavy SMG After being moved out of the care packages in Season 10, the Prowler has become a premium weapon in both BR and Arenas. If you’re looking for an accurate burst weapon that does lethal damage at medium range, it’s definitely worth purchasing the Prowler for 450 materials. If you’re looking to learn how to use the Prowler effectively, consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. VK-47 Flatline – Heavy Assault Rifle The Flatline may not have the magazine size of the Spitfire, but it still offers reliable damage and even provides players with an extra level of mobility. As the weapon costs 550 Materials, it is available to purchase at round one. Although this is certainly a greedy strategy, if you can reach the loot bins before your opponents and gather some meds, it’s well worth the risk. Here’s our dedicated guide for the Flatline so you can master the weapon fully. EVA-8 Auto – Shotgun The reason the EVA-8 Auto is rated higher than every other shotgun in Arenas is down to the weapon’s price. Costing 350 Materials total, this gun is the perfect secondary for dealing with close-range engagements. You’ll often be able to pick up an EVA-8 alongside a fully upgraded weapon in the mid and later stages of a match. This allows you to be prepared for any kind of gunfight and not have to waste Materials on an expensive shotgun. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills with the EVA-8, consider checking out our guide. Bocek Bow – Marksman Weapon Although the Bocek is an A-tier weapon, it’s not a consistent choice for every Apex player. In order to get the most out of the Bocek, you’ll need to spend a long time in the firing range and learn how to master the weapon’s intricacies. The bow has a price tag of 500 Materials, which is a reduction of 100 from Season 9, so it’s definitely worth buying if you’re confident you can hit the target. Here’s exactly how you can master the Bocek Bow in Apex Legends. Havoc – Energy Rifle While the Havoc certainly isn’t as versatile as the Volt, it does absolutely shred enemies at close range. Available to purchase for a cheap 350 Materials, if you’re familiar with the Havoc and can handle the weapon’s recoil, it’s a solid budget choice in Arenas. Check our Havoc guide if you want to master this deadly energy rifle. Longbow DMR – Sniper Rifle Getting up close and personal in Arenas is a solid strategy, but sometimes it’s best to take a backseat and chip away at your enemies from afar. For 400 Materials, there’s no better weapon to do that with than the Longbow. Capable of dealing lethal damage at range and a top-tier for players with a keen aim, this sniper is a great weapon to weaken your enemies before an aggressive push. The Longbow isn’t an easy weapon to use, luckily we’ve got a dedicated guide to help you land all of your shots. R-99 – Light SMG Having some of the fastest DPM in the game, the R-99 thrives in Arenas, particularly on smaller maps like Party Crasher. Although the gun did receive a nerf to its damage back in November of last year, it still shreds through enemy shields at close range. It is a little pricey costing a total of 500 Materials but it’ll certainly help you effectively eliminate opponents in 3v3 encounters. Here’s our dedicated guide for the R-99. RE-45 Auto – Light Pistol Similar to the EVA-8, the RE-45’s cheap price tag is what makes it such a great early game weapon. Only costing 200 Materials, it leaves you with plenty spare to spend on meds, shields, and abilities. On top of this, the full-auto pistol is incredibly easy to control, making it simple to land shots on your opponents. This weapon is definitely not the correct choice in the later rounds but in the early game, it’s an option that’s even cheaper than the Alternator. If you need to sharpen your skill with the RE-45, consider checking our weapon guide for the pistol. Wingman – Heavy Pistol The Wingman has been a fan-favorite weapon since the release of Apex Legends and it’s easy to see why. This hard-hitting pistol is capable of taking out enemies in an instant if you can land your shots. Unfortunately, for a lot of players in Arenas, the Wingman won’t be a consistent choice and a fully auto weapon will suit them better. However, for 500 Materials, the Wingman will always be worth a buy if you can land a few headshots. Here’s our weapon guide for the Wingman that’ll help you land more of those deadly headshots. Sentinal – Sniper Rifle Fulfilling the same role as the Longbow, the Sentinal is a relatively cheap buy that’s capable of chunking and taking out enemies from range. If you’re able to force an enemy to use their shields before they can fully engage in a gunfight, you’re giving your squad a massive advantage in the round. Don’t forget, you’ll likely want to purchase a secondary that can compete at close range just in case an enemy pushes aggressively. R-301 Carbine – Light SMG The R-301 Carbine certainly has the power and damage to make it into the S-tier of this list. Unfortunately, this classic Apex weapon has a price tag of 600 Materials, making it unbelievably expensive. Despite this, the R-301 is one of the best go-to weapons in Arenas as it can perform so well in so many scenarios. Close, medium, or long-range, the R-301 can eliminate enemies effectively, so consider picking it up in your next match. If your skills with the weapon aren’t up to par, check out our R-301 weapon guide. L-Star – Energy LMG The L-Star has always been a polarizing weapon among the Apex community, with some declaring it amazing and others avoiding it completely. In Arenas, the weapon costs 500 Materials which isn’t a bad price for an LMG, especially after the huge buffs it received in the Season 10 update. You can check out our weapon guide for the L-Star here. Hemlok – Heavy Assault Rifle The wide-open spaces offered in Apex’s BR mode allow the Hemlok to shine and pick off opponents at medium range. However, in Arenas, there seem to be better options that provide players with more versatility. With the Hemlok costing 500 Materials, that currency is most likely better off spent on a Volt or a weapon that’s built for long-range like the Longbow. That’s not to say that the Hemlok isn’t a viable choice as the weapon can certainly perform in the 3v3 mode. It’s just not as powerful as some of its counterparts on the list. Here’s our dedicated guide for the Hemlok if you want to sharpen your skills with the weapon. G7 Scout – Light Assault Rifle The G7 Scout is a difficult weapon to use in Arenas, but players who regularly use the gun in BR may find a lot of success with the semi-automatic rifle. For 400 Materials, you don’t have to spend a lot of currency to get your hands on the Scout. However, the weapon will struggle to hold its own against aggressive squads who aren’t afraid to get up close and personal. So, make sure you’re running a shotgun or automatic weapon alongside it to ensure you don’t get caught out. If you’re looking to learn how to use the G7 Scout more effectively, consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. Devotion – Energy LMG The Devotion is a weapon you’ll want to avoid purchasing in the earlier rounds of a match. Without the gun’s Turbocharger hop up there are simply better options available to players that are significantly easier to control. Despite this, if you can get your hands on some gold attachments or fully upgrade the weapon, it’s definitely an option in the late game rounds. The Devotion isn’t an easy weapon to control, so check out our weapon guide for some key tips & tricks. Peacekeeper – Shotgun Perhaps one of the most satisfying weapons to use in Apex Legends, the Peacekeeper is absolutely lethal at close range in Arenas. With Respawn reducing its base price by 150 to 350 Materials in the latest update, it’s an option for players who want to take combat up close and personal. While there’s no denying the overwhelming power of the Peacekeeper, it should just be as an option for the late game rounds. Check out our weapon guide for the Peacekeeper so you know exactly how to use the weapon. Mastiff – Shotgun The hard-hitting Mastiff shotgun currently costs 350 Materials in Arenas, making it a good secondary pick for the late game. However, sometimes it can be better to focus on having a solid primary and buying extra meds instead of purchasing a shotgun side weapon. Check out our weapon guide for the Mastiff so you can consistently down enemies with the shotgun. 30-30 Repeater – Heavy Marksmen Rifle Introduced in Season 8, the 30-30 Repeater is widely used in Apex’s BR mode by players looking for a hard-hitting medium-range weapon. Unfortunately, in Arenas, it’s better to buy a Longbow or Sentinal over the Repeater in most rounds. Although the gun only costs 400 Materials, it won’t be able to match aggressive squads or teams that play from the back of the map with snipers. If you’re looking for a cheap semi-automatic rifle, consider picking up the G7 Scout that’s more effective at close range. If you’re looking to learn how to use the 30-30 Repeater more effectively, consider checking our dedicated weapon guide. Mozambique – Shotgun With the removal of the Hammerpoint Rounds hop up in Season 9, the Mozambique can no longer one-hit opponents with no armor. This means it doesn’t really have a place in the Arenas meta with so many great early game options available. However, as players are given the Mozambique for free as secondary throughout the rounds, it’s a helpful sidearm to have in an intense gunfight. Here’s our dedicated weapon guide for the Mozambique. P2020 – Light Pistol Similar to the Mozambique, the P2020 is given out for free in Arenas as a default weapon. Although there’s no reason to upgrade it, the pistol can provide that last ounce of damage you need in those early rounds. Check out our dedicated P2020 weapon guide to master the pistol. Charge Rifle – Sniper Rifle Out of all Sniper Rifle options, the Charge Rifle is by far the most difficult to use and expensive of the bunch. Costing a whopping 600 Mateirals to buy from the store, it’s best to leave this gun in the shop and pick a more reliable weapon instead. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills with the Charge Rifle, check out our dedicated weapon guide. There you have it, that’s our ultimate Apex Legends Arenas tier list for Season 10.

Best guns in Apex Legends Season 22: Ultimate weapon tier list DexertoChoosing the right weapons in Apex Legends is crucial to racking up wins. To help, we’ve compiled a detailed tier list for the best weapons in Season 22 of the battle royale. Apex Legends has a whole host of weapons with each receiving various nerfs and buffs as the season progresses. Season 20 introduced major overhauls to nearly all game mechanics. This included the complete removal of the crafting rotation, integrating EVO shields directly with character progression throughout a match, and much more. Similarly, Season 21 had various weapons receiving nerfs and buffs while also introducing Alter, a brand-new legend to the wide roster of Legends. So, here is our ultimate Apex Legends weapon tier list for the best guns to use in Season 22. Apex Legends Ultimate weapons tier list Apex Legends weapon tiers explained Our tier list follows a simple system that divides weapons based on their overall efficacy in combat: S: The absolute best weapons in the game. – A: Excellent weapons that provide a substitute for other options. – B: There may be situations in which these weapons are effective. – C: Best to avoid unless you really want to give the weapon a try. – S-Tier Ultimate weapons in Apex Legends Nemesis — Energy Assault Rifle Stats: Body damage: 16 – Head damage: 29 – Legs damage: 12 – Base mag size: 20 – Reload: 2.7s – The launch of Season 16 brought with it a brand-new Assault Rifle: the Nemesis. In comparison to the rest of the weapons in Apex Legends, this gun truly stands out. It needs some attachments to get going, but the Nemesis’ mag size, its high stopping power at 17 damage per shot, high fire rate, low recoil, and almost non-existent bullet drop make this thing a laser beam both literally and figuratively. Once you get the hang of its 4-shot burst pattern and get into the rhythm of using this weapon properly, it hits incredibly hard. However, it does have a bit of a learning curve, and its burst fire makes it awkward to use in close range. G7 Scout — Light Marksman Rifle Stats: Body damage: 33 – Head damage: 57 – Legs damage: 25 – Base mag size: 10 – Reload: 2.16s/2.7s – The G7 Scout is an absolute workhorse. While it’s not the best weapon at close range in Apex Legends and gets outdone at extreme ranges by snipers, it’s an incredibly reliable mid-range weapon that rewards precision while leaving room for error. With a scope and some range between you and your target, the Scout’s ability to spam shots will annoy other squads to no end. It’s also extremely ammo efficient and frees up some inventory space in comparison to a typical Assault Rifle or SMG. The white magazine upgrade takes the Scout from 10 ammo to 15, meaning that you don’t need the best attachments to give this weapon some massive upgrades. The Scout is rarely a bad option. VK-47 Flatline — Heavy Assault Rifle Stats: Body damage: 18 – Head damage: 32 – Legs damage: 15 – Base mag size: 20 – Reload: 2.4s/3.1s – The Flatline is one of the best Assault Rifles in Apex Legends in terms of raw damage output. Despite having some pretty awful ironsights and more recoil than the R-301, its Light ammo counterpart, the Flatline is S-tier for a few reasons. One of the key areas where the Flatline shines is its unchanging nature. Its recoil is solid, its damage is mid-range but good, and it boasts decent range for an assault rifle. Not only that, but it doesn’t need many attachments to thrive. The base Flatline is an exceptionally strong weapon, and it’s good at all points in the game. Bocek — Care Package Compound Bow Stats: Body damage: 25/70 35-84 (Shatter Caps) – Head damage: 31/112 42-105 (Shatter Caps) – Legs damage: 20/63 28-84 (Shatter Caps) – Base mag size: N/A – Reload: N/A – The Bocek Bow came into Apex Legends as a monstrous weapon, one that broke the meta and was an absolute terror in mid-range engagements before getting nerfed. After being restricted to the care package, this bow has landed it a bit closer to its power level at release with some added versatility. Shatter Caps and Deadeye’s Tempo don’t exist as floor pickups anymore. Instead, they just come stock standard with the Bocek. And, despite not being able to pick up arrows anymore, 60 arrows is more than enough to last through most games of Apex. The near-silent and somewhat incognito nature of the Bocek combined with its base damage of 70 make it capable of outtrading other marksman weapons with ease. Peacekeeper — Shotgun Stats: Body damage: 99 /121 (Disruptor) – Head damage: 121/ 154 (Disruptor) – Legs damage: 99/ 121 (Disruptor) – Base mag size: Five – Reload: 2.5s/3.5s – The Peacekeeper is an incredibly popular Shotgun choice, and for good reason. Its high damage, accuracy at range, and incredibly satisfying 2-hit kills in earlier stages of the game make it an incredibly attractive pickup. Not only that, but the addition of Disruptor rounds on the weapon that came in Season 18 makes it even more likely to net you a two-shot kill on targets. That additional damage to shields really puts this weapon over the edge and into S-tier territory. If you’re calm and collected in the most hectic of close-range fights and can maintain a steady hand, the Peacekeeper is the Shotgun for you. Wingman — Sniper Pistol Stats: Body damage: 50 – Head damage: 95/ 118 (Skullpiercer) – Legs damage: 47 – Base mag size: Six – Reload: 2.1s/ 1.4s (Boosted Loader) – The Wingman has always been around the top of the Apex Legends meta, but it can be tricky to get full power out of; it’s a pistol that rewards pinpoint accuracy for players. We’re assuming you’re picking up the hard-to-handle handgun if you can land your shots. While the Wingman did receive some nerfs this season such as damage being reduced to 45 (Earlier 50), not being able to use magazines as attachments, and reduced hipfire accuracy, it continues to dominate the game as one of the strongest weapons. Volt — Energy SMG Stats: Body damage: 15 – Head damage: 19 – Legs damage: 12 – Base mag size: 19 – Reload: 1.44s/2.03s – The Volt is the king of SMGs in Apex Legends. It’s got great insights and high DPS for early-game fights, and it does just as well with attachments. And, with the R-99 getting a small mag nerf, there’s more reason than ever to grab this weapon. It’s really, really hard to go wrong with the Volt. As long as you’re within 50 meters of your opponent, it’s one of the best weapons you can have in your hands. Prowler Burst PDW — Heavy SMG Stats: Body damage: 15 – Head damage: 23 – Legs damage: 12 – Base mag size: 20 – Reload: 2.0s/2.6s – With the highest magazine capacity in the game when paired with an Extended mag, the Prowler is a great gun with a very fast TTK. Though the Prowler still shreds enemies if you can land a solid grouping of shots on a target, it suffers at longer ranges due to its high recoil and strange burst pattern. Though not impossible to control, it’s much more difficult than its contemporaries. Hemlok — Heavy Assault Rifle Stats: Body damage: 20 – Head damage: 37 – Legs damage: 15 – Base mag size: 18 – Reload: 2.0s/2.6s – The Hemlok has long been passed over by many players for its full-auto cousins like the R-301 and the Flatline. And, now that it’s out of the care package, it’s back to being a somewhat mediocre firearm. The burst rifle boasts two modes, three-shot and single. Both can be fantastic, with the long-ranged single-shot option helping you conserve ammo as you poke away at your rivals, and the burst giving you the firepower you need up close. However, the hipfire and damage were both nerfed in Season 20, making it much harder to justify now. While the Hemlok is still useful in the right hands, it’s still not worth picking up over standard assault rifles. A-Tier Ultimate weapons in Apex Legends Eva-8 Auto — Care Package Shotgun Stats: Body damage: 48 / 56 (Hammerpoints) – Head damage: 60 / 72 (Hammerpoints) – Legs damage: 48 / 56 (Hammerpoints) – Base mag size: Eight – Reload: 2.75s/3.0s – Part of the care package, the EVA-8 may not have its usefulness as a strong early-game pickup anymore but this souped-up version gives the EVA-8 an identity as a rapid-fire shotgun the game has arguably never had. Between its golden shotgun bolt giving it 2 rounds per proc instead of 1 and a base fire rate increase, the EVA is a great choice if you want something very close to you very dead. However, this weapon has also received a damage reduction per pellet from 7 damage to 6 and has much less one or even two shot potential than before. There’s a shot you may still get outtraded by a player with a Peacekeeper and a steady hand, making it hard to justify putting this gun in the S-tier. Kraber .50 CAL — Care Package Sniper Stats: Body damage: 140 – Head damage: 280 – Legs damage: 112 – Base mag size: Four – Reload: 3.2s/4.3s – In the sniper category, the Kraber is the clear king. Even after several nerfs a few seasons ago, the Kraber is still a pretty good weapon. Although its one-shot headshot potential has been reduced, the Kraber is still an unbelievably strong weapon. This bolt-action sniper does massive damage at pretty much any range. And, even if you miss the head, you’ll soften up opponents enough for a quick weapon swap or an assist from a teammate to easily confirm the kill. If you’re lucky enough to come across it, someone on your squad should take it. Even if you aren’t the best sniper, playing against someone who’s good with the Kraber can be an absolute nightmare. Mastiff — Shotgun Stats: Body damage: 88 – Head damage: 112 – Legs damage: 88 – Base mag size: Five – Reload: 0.9s per shell/1.6s per shell – This shotty’s power lies in its tight, horizontal pellet spread. The requirement to ADS for decent accuracy takes some getting used to, but a good player with a Mastiff in hand is an absolute menace. Having a consistent 2-shot kill that has above-average accuracy at range for a shotgun makes the Mastiff incredibly lethal. Even with a 5-shot capacity and a somewhat slow rate of fire, the Mastiff’s close-range prowess is unrivaled in Apex. If you land your shots. This weapon is in A-tier because of how much more difficult it is to use than its counterparts. If you’ve got a feel for the Mastiff’s unique spread pattern, it’s great. If you don’t? You won’t be hitting much. The Mastiff is a very hot and cold weapon, but its upsides make it more than worth putting in A-tier. Rampage — Heavy LMG Stats: Body damage: 26 – Head damage: 39 – Legs damage: 22 – Base mag size: 28 – Reload: 3.2s/4s – While its lack of prowess at close range keeps it from being a true S-tier weapon, everything else about the Rampage is good. Low recoil, massive mag size, high damage per shot, and it does well even with no attachments.. What’s more, its ability to rip through doors if you’ve got a Thermite grenade to charge it up with makes it easy to catch opponents off guard. Combined with its increased fire rate when charged, the Rampage is great for players who enjoy holding down the shoot button and putting rounds down range. This thing shreds. If DMRs like the Scout and 30-30 don’t appeal to you as single-fire weapons, the Rampage is a great choice with its higher fire rate and general ease of use. It’s really hard to go wrong with this gun, but it has a bit less versatility than an Assault Rifle. R-301 Carbine — Light Assault Rifle Stats: Body damage: 13 – Head damage: 23 – Legs damage: 10 – Base mag size: 18 – Reload: 2.4s/3.2s – The R-301 has been an all-rounder since Apex Legends first dropped, and it’s remained that way ever since. While its capacity without a light magazine upgrade is pretty small at 18 rounds, its laser precision and high fire rate make it a rifle that’s hard to pass on. If you pick up the R-301, you know what you’re getting. The R-301 isn’t particularly interesting or ground-breaking as a weapon, but its consistency and reliability make it a wonderful choice in any gunfight. C.A.R. — Light/Heavy SMG Stats: Body damage: 12 – Head damage: 15 – Legs damage: 9 – Base mag size: 19 – Reload: 1.7s/2.13s – Designed to carry light or heavy ammo, and attachments from either gun line, the CAR SMG is the perfect secondary weapon to stuff in your pocket to avoid those pesky moments when you’re starved of ammo. Though it’s had a fair few nerfs and lacks the ability to take a laser sight like its other SMG counterparts, it’s been able to stay in A tier due to being a reliable, consistent, all-around great firearm. That said, its nerfs haven’t gone unnoticed. A somewhat underwhelming magazine size combined with recoil that, while consistent at ~50 meters or less, falls off at longer ranges. This weapon will never be a bad pickup, but it does have its weaknesses. R-99 — Light SMG Stats: Body damage: 11 – Head damage: 14 – Legs damage: 9 – Base mag size: 17 – Reload: 1.8s/2.45s – The R-99 is better up close than ever before, but a bit worse at engagements beyond 30 or so meters. Running the R-99 with a Shotgun will confine you to close range, and has made this SMG a bit more niche than Assault Rifles like the Flatline or R-301. The R-99 still shreds opponents like no other if they let you get close enough to land shots, but it’s outperformed by other options if you can’t close the gap. M600 Spitfire — Light Machine Gun Stats: Body damage: 18 – Head damage: 25 – Legs damage: 15 – Base mag size: 35 – Reload: 3.4s/4.2s – The Spitfire is not as broken as it was in its heyday, but recent seasons have been kind to this LMG. Though it still has many of the pitfalls that come with LMGs like slow movement speed while ADSed, the barrel stabilizer returning combined with a few small buffs has put this weapon back into viability. Unless you can get your hands on the L-Star, it’s the best LMG you can find. You’re not going to be taking out targets past, say, 100 meters with this weapon any time soon. Its strength at mid/short range combined with its magazine size makes it a viable main option for the first time in a while however. Alternator — SMG Stats: Body damage: 16/ 19 (Disruptor) – Head damage: 20/ 24 (Disruptor) – Legs damage: 13/ 15 (Disruptor) – Base mag size: 19 – Reload: 1.9s/2.23s – The Alternator has always struggled to shine behind its big brothers the R-99 and R-301 in the Light class, but it’s been surprisingly strong in the last few seasons for a few reasons. Good hipfire, a slow-yet-consistent rate of fire, and some incredible ironsights make this weapon a strong early pickup. It doesn’t need attachments to be a strong weapon, but Disruptor rounds make this a devastating and very ammo-efficient secondary. If you’re a new player and you’re looking for an easy-to-use SMG, it’s worth picking up to learn the game with. And, if you’re a seasoned veteran, it’s still a reliable and effective secondary. B-Tier Ultimate weapons in Apex Legends 30-30 Repeater — Heavy Marksman Rifle Stats: Body damage: 39-54 – Head damage: 71-97/ 85-115 (Skullpiercer) – Legs damage: 33-45 – Base mag size: 6 – Reload: 0.33s per bullet – What the 30-30 does well, it does really well. Its range, damage, and accuracy are all top-class, and, unless you’re face-to-face with an enemy, it’s usually a great pick. If you can pair the Repeater with a shotgun, or something small and in a different ammo type like the R-99 or Volt SMG, you’ll be ready for almost any firefight. However, Season 20 nerfs hit this weapon hard. The integrated Dual Shell hop-up has been removed, magazine size for the extended mags has been reduced across the board, Skullpiercer’s headshot multiplier was nerfed, and the gun’s base damage was slightly lowered. It’s still worth picking up, but the 30-30 is now an outright worse choice than something like the Scout in most scenarios. Sentinel — Sniper Rifle Stats: Body damage: 70/88 (Charged) – Head damage: 140/176 (Charged) – Legs damage: 63/79 (Charged) – Base mag size: 4 – Reload: 2.5s/3.6s – Bolt action snipers are incredibly satisfying and fun to use. The Sentinel is one of the most reliable snipers in the game which is perfect to use in long-range combat. While the reload time might prove to be a hassle, charging up the weapon deals a considerable amount of damage while also slowing down your gameplay. All in all, the Sentinel is a pretty good weapon to use if you are an accurate shooter. Havoc — Energy Assault Rifle Stats: Body damage: 18 – Head damage: 32 – Legs damage: 15 – Base mag size: 20 – Reload: 3.2s – The Havoc has had one hell of a comeback story. It’s gone from being busted in Apex’s early days to being near-unusuable after a hefty set of nerfs. Now, after a variety of buffs and nerfs, it’s a relatively balanced weapon that does really well early on, and it has a lot of potential with a bit of luck. Holding onto this weapon for the late game is a bit of a dice roll, and its effectiveness later on really depends on whether or not you can get your hands on a Turbocharger. However, if you manage to find the pivotal hop-up alongside this weapon, the Havoc is one of the better rifles in the game. S-tier with a Turbocharger, and C-tier without. Longbow DMR — Sniper Rifle Stats: Body damage: 55 – Head damage: 124/ 143 (Skullpiercer) – Legs damage: 48 – Base mag size: 6 – Reload: 2.66s/3.66s – Despite receiving a few nerfs and buffs, the Longbow is an incredibly powerful and consistent Marksman rifle, one that’s worth picking up now more than ever. Barrel stabilizers are easy to find, Sniper ammo is more plentiful than ever, and Skullpiercer rewards players that take the time to go for headshots. Even without a scope, the ironsights provide a clear view. And, with 55 damage a shot, it will easily put down most targets with a few solid hits. That said, an AR or SMG will usually outtrade this weapon even at mid-range, and it’s not as good at long ranges as the other Snipers. L-Star — Energy LMG Stats: Body damage: 17 – Head damage: 26 – Legs damage: 14 – Base mag size: N/A – Reload: 2.45s – The LMG category isn’t in the best spot right now. While the Rampage is still an incredibly strong choice, the Spitfire and Devotion aren’t stellar weapons. The L-Star has long been stuck in low tiers and, while it had a brief stint as one of the game’s best weapons when it was in the care package, it’s not nearly as good now. This gun being in the care package solved the problem of having to hoard ammo and the gun not coming stock with ammo in a clip, but now that problem has once again reared its ugly head. The L-Star is a big commitment if you want to take full advantage of its ability to send a barrage of fire down range. That said, the L-Star’s projectiles are so big that they’re kind of hard to miss unless you’re firing at longer ranges. It’s a weapon with a lot of upsides and downsides. C-Tier Ultimate weapons in Apex Legends Devotion — Energy LMG Stats: Body damage: 15 – Head damage: 23 – Legs damage: 13 – Base mag size: 36 – Reload: 2.8s/3.63s – While the Devotion has some redeeming qualities, it really needs attachments to be remotely useful. This energy LMG is probably the deadliest weapon in the game if you can get it firing on all cylinders. It boasts a monstrous 255 damage per second, but only if you can keep its recoil under control. Barrel stabilitizers help here somewhat, and this weapon can be incredibly strong if you can find a Turbocharger. Unfortunately, the Turbocharger is a rare find, and the weapon’s lack of functionality without it makes it a difficult sell. Charge Rifle — Sniper Rifle Stats: Body damage: 75-110 (Based on distance) – Head damage: 150-220 (Based on distance) – Legs damage: 68-99 (Based on distance) – Base mag size: 4 – Reload: 3.5s/4.6s – The Charge Rifle being a hold-and-release weapon already works against it. While the gun did receive a slight ADS recoil buff in the past, it’s still unusable at close range. It works well in medium-long range however the fact that there are weapons that are easier to use and are easier to handle just makes the Charge Rifle a C-liser. Triple Take — Energy Marksman Rifle Stats: Body damage: 63 – Head damage: 111 – Legs damage: 57 – Base mag size: 6 – Reload: 2.34s/3.06s – The Triple Take is a weapon with a lot of potential. It can do a lot of damage, it’s easier to use in close quarters than other DMRs, and can be very powerful in the right hands. However, the Triple Take rarely lives up to its potential. With the G7, 30-30, and Longbow all filling the role with more ammo efficiency and versatility, this gun feels like it’s been left in the dust. Kinetic Feeder was removed in Season 15, but it’s not like the hop-up helped this weapon’s power level much, anyways. Sliding and accurate, long-range fire don’t mix very well. The Triple Take is fine. It’s hard to get excited about coming across this weapon on the ground. RE-45 — Light Machine Pistol Stats: Body damage: 14/ 16 (Hammerpoints) – Head damage: 18/ 24 (Hammerpoints) – Legs damage: 11/ 14 (Hammerpoints) – Base mag size: 25 – Reload: 1.5s/1.95s – The RE-45 certainly has its uses. This weapon has never been the best choice in Apex Legends. Even when it was in the care package, some players would choose to leave it in the package. Now that it’s out, the RE-45 doesn’t have many use cases. While it has high DPS, it’s also got a small base mag size at 16, and, is worse than a standard SMG in almost every way. There’s no situation where the RE-45 is outright better than any other weapon. It’s not horrible, but you won’t see anyone getting excited about picking up the RE-45. D-Tier Ultimate weapons in Apex Legends Mozambique — Shotgun Stats: Body damage: 45/ 60 (Hammerpoints) – Head damage: 57/ 75 (Hammerpoints) – Legs damage: 45/ 60 (Hammerpoints) – Base mag size: 6 – Reload: 1.9s/2.4s – The Mozambique isn’t a great gun. While it has more range than other weapons in its class, the Mozambique’s low damage combined with the removal of Hammerpoint rounds in Season 15 has placed it right back in D-tier. The Mozam’s best and worst traits are bundled into one with its long range. Three 15-damage pellets in a tight spread give this Shotgun deceptively long range but also make it surprisingly unwieldy at close range. Hipfiring with this thing is completely unreliable, but ADSing also feels off thanks to its slow projectile speed. The Mozambique is a bit bizarre and difficult to use. It can work as a last result, but you might be better off throwing hands than picking up this Shotgun. P2020 — Light Pistol Stats: Body damage: 18/ 27 (Hammerpoints) – Head damage: 27/ 41 (Hammerpoints) – Legs damage: 16/ 24 (Hammerpoints) – Base mag size: 14 – Reload: 1.25s – The P2020 was already a D-tier weapon when Hammerpoint rounds were in the game, and it’s an even more sorry state now that they’re gone. Even with Hammerpoint rounds and a laser sight, it’s really hard to justify holding on to this pistol. The highest praise that can be levied toward the P2020 is that it does, in fact, function. It’s, for sure, better than throwing bullets at your enemies. But not by much. Joking aside, even with the P2020 being a subpar weapon, it can still dish enough damage to take down targets if you have a fast trigger finger. It’s certainly usable, but that’s the highest praise this weapon deserves. Remember, this tier list is subjective and subject to change depending on future updates with weapon buffs and nerfs.

Best ways to find crafting materials in Apex Legends Respawn/EACrafting is now a major big part of Apex Legends in Season 6, but you need Materials to access important Replicator machines. So, here’s where you’re best off looking for the precious resource. With the start of Apex Legends Season 6, Respawn finally introduced Rampart as a new character, added the Volt SMG to the loot pool, and even gave the game a shakeup with Crafting. The crafting doesn’t go to the Fortnite level of being able to build structures that provide cover. Instead, it’s more about getting new items during games. Through crafting you can grab yourself a new weapon, an upgrade to your armor, or even a mobile respawn beacon. However, to craft these items from the big orange Replicator machines, you need Crafting Materials. But, where are you best looking for these materials? Well, all over the map actually. Loot Bins – 5 materials each That’s right, materials aren’t just found at hotspots where you also find the best bits of Apex Legends loot, they’re just scattered all over the map. The most consistent place to find them is from loot bins. As soon as you open a bin, you’ll get a number of materials added to your current total. This comes out at five materials per opened loot bin, so, you’ll have to open a lot to get some of the better bits of craftable loot. Extractors – 25 materials each If you want to quickly rack up materials, though, you’re better off heading towards the Replicators that are highlighted while diving into a game. Extractors, or Material Stations as some might call them, that have 25 materials inside will randomly spawn around a select few of these. You don’t need to do anything crazy to get the materials from them either. Simply walk up to one, hit your interact button, and wait a few seconds. Sadly, you cannot loot crafting materials from an eliminated enemy’s death box. So, don’t get any ideas about racking up kill records on your path to getting a whole host of materials. Just make sure that when you have collected a few materials that you use them to get yourself something nice. It could be the difference between winning and losing at the end of the day.

Best tips for using Pathfinder’s Grapple in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentPathfinder can greatly open up the Apex Legends battlefield with his Grappling Hook and Zipline Gun. The Forward Scout has an incredibly mobile ability kit, and one clever player has compiled the best ways to use them throughout the Arena. Since the start of Apex Legends, people have gravitated to Pathfinder. The mobility in Apex isn’t great by default, so it’s on the player to get creative on how to quickly get from point A to point B in the most effective way. That’s where Pathy shines. He can cut through entire no man’s land fields, work vertical flanks, create unique rotation paths, and completely lose a chasing opponent if the need should arise. However, you’re not gonna have a fun time with the robotic Legend if you don’t know how to angle your character model properly to get the most momentum, or if you’re unaware of where to attach the Grappling Hook. Getting a good Hook isn’t complicated. It’s the follow through that trips up a lot of players, and can turn a high-flying Pathfinder into an easy target in seconds. If you’re looking for the perfect Grapple hop, then simply Jump when the grapple hits to get a good lift into the air. This is great for traversing short to medium distances, but combining this with a downhill slide starts to really speed up your rotation. Locking your hook onto a point will make that object the focal point of your swing. Trying to extend that swing is as simple as “maintaining view of (the) connect point,” like YouTuber ‘Jay Gen’ shows below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wESv6SkSkfs&feature=youtu.be This is Pathfinder’s primary method of bamboozling opponents in the Apex Games. This opens up playmaking capabilities, as well as tricking players who expect you to fling off your hook instead of loop around. Jay also shows how to launch yourself upwards in order to scale a cliff or structure above you. By clipping the hook above you while looking away from the ledge (forward, as if you’re walking straight), wait until you’ve cleared the obstacle and do a 180-degree turn to complete the maneuver. There are a ton of ways to optimize Pathfinder’s mobility in Apex Legends, so explore the map to find the best combinations to try out these tricks.

Best tactics to raid secret loot Vaults in Apex Legends Season 3 Respawn Entertainment – Apex LegendsThe Season 3 map in Apex Legends introduced secret loot vaults throughout the game, but players are finding that you don’t always need a key to reap the rewards. The new Meltdown event in the game brought loads of changes to the Apex Games, including a new Legend named Crypto, an icy locale in World’s Edge, and three locked rooms filled with high-tier loot for players to claim. These rooms were activated about a week after the start of Season 3, and since then players have been devising how to raid the vaults opened by their opponents to nab the loot while tallying a few kills to their name. Light ’em up In a Reddit post, user ‘outboardtoaster’ highlighted how their team managed to take a squad by surprise – lurking in the shadows waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Once the unsuspecting squad was deep inside the loot vault’s halls, outboardtoaster and his team lit up the place with a flurry of Frag Grenades, Thermites, and Arc Stars to the back of the room. This zoned the other team into the back of the room, making them easy pickings for the raiding team. New bunker for Wattson and Caustic This one gets a little dark, but in that same thread user ‘RedRockFox’ noted that Caustic and Wattson could be used to great effect for raiding vaults. Outboardtoaster explained that the devilish combo can be used to create an impromptu “zoo,” since there’s only one small opening leading into these vaults. “The match afterward we realized this works better and is more like a zoo…” they said. “Caustic ults the back of the room throws traps at the front, then Watson fences the door and you stand there and watch while they die slowly. It’s brutal.” Behind enemy lines Since teams usually go into a mad dash to get the contents of the vault, Mirage is a great candidate to have on a team for a ghoulish surprise. As soon as a team opens the vault to get in, use Mirage’s ultimate to go invisible and sneak in with the opposing squad while making your way to the back of the vault. Have your team throw grenades toward the front half of the vault, ideally with a few thermites forcing them to the back half. Amid the chaos going on in the front, Mirage will have a chance in the backlines to down at least one or two players, if not the whole squad. Opening vaults can yield great rewards, but Apex Legends is a battle royale after all – meaning players should be wary for other players looking to take what’s theirs.

Best Storm Point landing spots in Apex Legends Season 12 Respawn EntertainmentStorm Point remains in the map rotation for Apex Legends Season 12 and if you’re looking for the best landing spots, you’ve come to the right place. The bright island map was first released as part of the Escape: Season 11 update in November 2021, making it the first brand-new arena since Olympus in Season 7. While exploring the tropical landscape of Storm Point is extremely fun in Season 12, it can be difficult to pinpoint which POIs yield the most loot, and give you the best chance at picking up the victory. Finding this out usually takes countless matches, experimenting with each of the locations until one ticks all of the boxes and fits your style of play. To save you some time, we’ve got a list of the best Storm Point landing spots to suit every kind of player, no matter how you like to approach a match. Best Storm Point landing spots in Season 12 Command Center This place has established itself as a real favorite for Apex squads. If you’re not afraid of competing with other squads for high-tier loot and love diving straight into the action, then Command Center may be the ideal landing spot for you. Built inside of Storm Point’s mountain and accessible from the dropship, Command Center is an underground complex rich with ground loot and supply bins. With so much gear on offer, your only concern should be the other squads you’ll be fighting for it, and with easy access to the peak of the mountain, this is definitely a POI that’s worth contesting. A quick tip, as well: The majority of people tend to enter through the huge sky entrance or front doors. However, on the right side of Command Center is a side entrance featuring a Gravity Cannon. You can land in there, loot up like crazy, and then use ziplines to get downstairs with better loot for battle. Chances are, though, you won’t be alone – no matter where you go. The Mill Highly active POIs are perfect for some players, but others prefer to begin on the outskirts of the map and make their way inwards as a match progresses. If that’s you, then it may be time to head to The Mill POI located on the westernmost side of the Storm Point map. Although this location isn’t filled with tonnes of loot, what is there is high-tier and will be enough to get you and your squad off to a great start. Not only that, The Mill offers an easy rotation to either the Cenote Cave (South) or Checkpoint (North), making it simple to keep up the pace and move onto a new location. Highpoint If you’re looking for a slower rotation, on the outskirts of the ring, you won’t find many quieter spots than this. Highpoint is located in the Northeast quadrant of Storm Point, with nearby destinations such as The Wall, Lightning Rod, and Thunder Watch to visit after landing. Based on how high these places are, compared to sea level, they’re never really that busy because the Drop Ship needs to align perfectly to make it worthwhile. Often, it doesn’t. While we can’t conclusively say it will always be quiet, you can typically expect a fight or two at the absolute maximum before looting towards the next zone. Not bad for those who want to play around a little bit before diving into conflict. Barometer Similar to Command Center, Barometer is a POI designed for squads that are looking to fight at the beginning of a match. With a set of Gravity Cannons on each side of the location, it offers incredible disengage opportunities for teams that want to secure the loot and escape. Despite not being in the middle of the map, the devs have previously described Barometer as the “heart of Storm Point” with a “honeypot” of loot to fight over. So, if you think you’re up to the challenge, Barometer will always be an action-packed drop zone. Checkpoint Hidden away amongst a set of cliffs, The Checkpoint will likely be overlooked by a lot of Apex players, but it’s a solid drop location with a strong position on the map. While the POI certainly doesn’t offer the same amount of loot as Command Center, it makes up for it with the number of wildlife nests in the nearby area. Taking down these creatures and their homes will reward you with loot as well as a generous amount of crafting materials, so if you’re not afraid of Spiders or Prowlers, consider dropping into The Checkpoint. Cenote Cave Another isolated location, Cenote Cave is a POI for players that want to get geared up and then go hunting for squads. With easy access to enemies exiting Barometer and The Mill, consider picking a long-range rifle and sniping from afar. Despite being in the South-West corner of the island, Cenote Cave has pathways leading to the center of the map, making it simple to track and stay inside the ring. On top of that, the location is filled with loot, it just happens to be spread out over a large area, so stay vigilant for enemy squads and attempt to secure a power position. That rounds off our list of the best landing spots for the Apex Legends map Storm Point. Hopefully, this guide has provided you with plenty of locations to choose from, no matter what type of player you are.

Best Olympus landing spots in Apex Legends Season 12 Respawn EntertainmentAfter being introduced all the way back in Season 7, struck by an infection in Season 9, and then partly re-designed in Apex Legends Season 12, Olympus is back in the rotation. But where are the best landing spots? The floating citadel might be back, but it certainly looks different since the Defiance update, with a number of map changes being implemented by Respawn Entertainment. Unlike World’s Edge and Kings Canyon, Olympus has a bright and fresh theme similar to Storm Point. Now, there’re 16 loot-filled POIs scattered around the map, and even more unnamed zones to explore, so where you drop is crucial. Whether you’re a confident player looking for gunfights, one for the slow rotation, or somewhere in between – our list will have a drop spot for you. Best Olympus Landing spots Hammond Labs When Olympus first floated onto the scene, there’s no way Hammond Labs would be part of our list, but there’s a plethora of great rotation options here. It used to be bombarded with squads dropping there, as the primary and middle POI on the map for many Drop Ship routes. However, it’s not as busy as it used to be – at least not in Season 12. If you play smart and pick one of four drop spots that’s not as busy as the others, those who prefer a slow start can definitely achieve it. We’ve highlighted four ideal locations to start the game using the red circles above. Make it out alive with some good loot and the places to go next are endless, from Turbine to Solar Array. Those who like a busy beginning won’t be disappointed, either. There’s never a shortage of teams in and around this zone, though you can dodge them a lot easier these days. Rift Aftermath The “Rift” the centerpiece of Olympus. The strange dome of swirling darkness adds an interesting landmark to the map, and while it’s not right in the middle of the map, it’s certainly a key spot in the floating city. The POI is a hot spot, though, so make sure you’re ready for a fight. The main reason Rift Aftermath is a great early pick is the huge energy ball floating in the middle of the area. Once you’ve bagged some guns and loot, jump into the Rift and you’ll be sent flying across the map to one of three teleporter locations. The ability to reposition across the map — even at random — is invaluable, and heck, it’s fun! Definitely drop Rift once or twice, even if you want to avoid the mayhem. Bonsai Plaza Love Apex Legends’ close-quarter combat? Always scooping up that Mastiff or an R-99? Then boy do we have a spot for you: Bonsai Plaza, and its high-loot Reverie Lounge. As an early tip, Plaza or sort of like how Skull Town was in Kings Canyon before it was destroyed. There’s heaps of loot here, tight angles and corridors, and it’s usually one of the most contested zones in the floating city. A battle zone, start to finish. That doesn’t mean you should avoid it, especially if you’re chasing kills in ranked. The key here is making it to Reverie Lounge first. This tight inside area in the upper levels of the Plaza boasts fantastic defendable areas, and top-tier guns and loot. If you’re not so fast on the trigger or prefer long-range sniping over dueling, maybe skip Plaza. Trust us, it’s a mess for the first 10 minutes every game. Hydroponics Did you just think you might be skipping Plaza because you hate those early fights, and having to battle your way out of do-or-die situations with only a level-one Evo plate, an empty Alternator, and your wits? Then drop Hydroponics instead! The first thing that comes to mind when dropping here is “underrated.” You won’t see many landing at this southwest POI, partly due to its distance from the action, but it’s still a great spot to drop. Think Kings Canyon’s Artillery or Refinery from World’s Edge. There are not many POIs close by — only Elysium, similar to Refinery, is close — but there’s plenty of options here. Head north to Oasis (below), east to Plaza (above), or straight into the battle around Estates and Hammond Labs; it’s your call. Orbital Cannon Test Site You’ll already recognize this POI right off the bat — Pathfinder, Mirage, and Rampart were gunned down by the huge orbital cannon as they arrived in the Apex Legends Season 7 reveal trailer that Respawn dropped back in late October, 2020. Don’t worry about the gun though; Orbital is a great drop zone for any match. Why? Well, it’s chock full of Tridents, meaning that its distance from the rest of the map doesn’t matter. Grow Towers There’s a lot of high ground in this location, and the three Grow Towers situated here are packed full of weapons. For Loba mains, this can be the ideal place to start the game especially, with so much loot sitting around in close proximity. More than one player might have that idea, though, so watch your back! Throughout Season 7 this became one of the more obscure, but popular destinations for the community. Once you’ve dived into the busier parts of town a few times, it can be nice to change direction and head for quieter territories like this. If you want to start with loads of loot and perhaps not the most chaotic of starts, Grow Towers is right up your street. Except, it’s not in a street – so yeah. The Icarus Arriving in Olympus in Season 9 and bringing an infection with it, the Icarus is an enormously long POI that offers great sightlines for skirmishes with other squads. On top of that, there’s an incredible amount of loot in the ship ready for the taking, just don’t expect to be the only Legends looking for it. If you’re lucky enough to find a keycard on one of the scientist’s bodies, you’ll be able to unlock the Bridge, and that is guaranteed to set you up with the high-level loot you need to pick up the win. So there you have it; all the best Olympus landing spots now that Apex Legends has put it back in the Season 12 rotation. Think we missed the best spot to land? Reckon you’ve found the best secret spot to land for loot and kills this season? Let us know on Twitter @alphaINTEL.

Best new Apex Legends skin ideas: Wraith, Loba, Wattson, more Respawn/Reddit: sourkadinApex Legends stands as one of the most creative and vibrant FPS games on the market today, and here are our favorite community skin concepts from the past few weeks, as fans of the game once again flex their artistic muscles. The Apex Legends community has become known for its incredible game engagement, with fans of Respawn’s BR regularly sharing their own cosplays, Legend concepts and skin concepts. On the topic of the latter, we’ve rounded up some of the best skin concepts from the past few weeks, that have been shared by the artists behind them. Wattson Nessie First up is this awesome Wattson skin from u/shiba219808, crossing the Static Defender with the infamous Loch Ness Monster. It ditches the oranges and blues were used to seeing on Wattson, and replaces them with a large green onesie, complete with a ‘Nessie’ hood. Casual skins The second set of concepts we’re going to bring you also deals with Wattson, but also Wraith. The concepts, from @akka_0510, give both characters an anime-style makeover, and seem to be asking Respawn to implement more casual skins into the game. Simple, yet effective. Red Voidwalker Next up is a scarlet re-color of the Vodiwalker, Wraith, from Redditor ‘sourkadin‘. It overhauls the purple with which we normally associate with Wraith, replacing it for a blood red, that would certainly make Wraith stand out. It’s an awesome, yet simple overhaul of an absolute fan favorite. Tomb Raider Loba Finally, we’re bringing you a Tomb Raider rework of Season 5’s addition, Loba. The High Society Thief would have to swap high society for tombs, but we’re not sure people will mind if he skin is as cool as this concept. We’re throwing the name ‘Loba Croft’ into the mix as a potential name for this awesome concept from ‘ElusiveMIMI‘. The awesome artwork goes some way to show the time and effort players will invest into their favorite games, as well as paying tribute to the creative world Respawn have pioneered. If you like skin concepts, check out this mind-blowing Octane pirate look we brought to you back in June.

Best new Apex Legends skin ideas: Loba, Crypto, Lifeline, more Reddit: u/SithArsenal/Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends’ innovative and unique world was bound to inspire artwork, but community concepts have become a staple of the game’s fanbase. Here, we’ve chosen some of the very best skin concepts from the past month. It has become commonplace in the Apex Legends community for fans to share their own concept skins for the game’s unique Legends. The creative world conceived by Respawn Entertainment has inspired incredible art and community engagement. Here, we choose our favorite skin concepts from the past month or so. Crypto Hellslinger The first is this incredible Crypto ‘Hellsinger’ concept from u/StarDyx, channeling even more yellow and grey into the Surveillance Expert’s look. If Crypto does indeed get the buff many fans are hoping for, this would make him look the part as he seeks to dominate both World’s Edge and Kings Canyon. Regarding the skin, one Redditor commented that it “looks like a rare and a legendary mix. This is what the epic skins should look like”. It’s certainly epic. Prestige Loba Next up is a couple of Loba concepts from u/SithArsenal. The Redditor has crossed the Season 5 legend with League of Legend themes, creating a fantastical take on the High Society Thief. It also offers a light and dark option, depending on the player’s preference. Given the day and night variants of Kings Canyon, it’s fair to assume the light version is designed to be worn in the day, and the dark at night. Crypto Battle Hardened Our next skin concept returns to Crypto and, this time, features a concept for his heirloom too. Named the ‘Battle Hardened’ skin, u/Sitting_WOLF has included a trio of variants with slightly different looks, including a large dark green overcoat. Similarly, they explain they did their research into his heirloom concept, to try and make it as authentic as possible. Unique styles for Lifeline, Bangalore, Wattson, Crypto Finally, we have four awesome skin concepts from u/PiroSheikah, offering the same aesthetic style to Lifeline, Bangalore, Wattson and Crypto. Each is given a dark, almost ninja-like overhaul, that would bring some stealth and silent threat to every legend. We’ll take one of each, please. As much as we’d like to see fan-made concepts in Respawn, one of their senior writers has explained why that would be incredibly difficult to facilitate. We’ll be keeping our fingers crossed, though.

Best new Apex Legends skin concepts for Wraith, Lifeline & more Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends has some of the most diverse and creative characters in the first-person shooter genre – and these incredible skins only amplify that, with some incredible new looks for the most popular Legends in the game. With the likes of Wraith, Pathfinder, and Gibraltar, there is ample opportunity for players to find ones they like the look of, what plays best and which one suits them more than any other. Of course, this is often represented in the cosmetic items available for each character, too, and these skin concepts just add another layer of interest, intrigue, and personality to your favorite Legend. Revenant – Undying God This Revenant skin concept from MoberRPG, named Undying God, fits perfectly with his character. His Death Totem ultimate is represented brilliantly with the Totem Pole-inspired look, which bears some similarities to Crash Bandicoot’s Aku Aku. The Aztec stylings would definitely be a new look within the Apex Legends universe, and it may raise some questions over Revenant’s hitbox, considering he’s being held together only by his spine, but you can’t deny that it looks good. Cyberpunk Wraith Ketch_up3000 brought us this cyberpunk-inspired Wraith skin, removing some of the layers in a cool purple outfit that features various chains and a choker that capture the Cyberpunk look well. The matching purple horns on Wraith’s head fit the style, as well as the use of make-up and the cape completing the look – it would definitely look intimidating if you saw her running at you. Lifeline meets JoJo Any anime fan would love this one, as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is brought to one of the more popular characters in the game, Lifeline. Lifeline already looks like a fun character, but this is even more pronounced with a lighter outfit and hair, the blonde streak matching the stylings in JoJo while the darker top, trousers and sleeves make the accessories really stand out. This was created by Patrez390. Undercover Nurse Caustic Finally, XenotheBoi has taken inspiration from the ongoing global crisis and created this redesign of Caustic as an undercover nurse. Although perhaps on the funnier side, this is still a brilliantly designed skin, especially considering what is going on in the world right now. As some in the comments said, this looks like it would be more commonly attributed to one of the female Legends – especially considering the skirt – but Xeno is clearly an inclusive player and hasn’t let that bother him. The Apex Legends community continues to be as creative as ever, and it appears being locked away due to the current health crisis is only bringing out their creativity even more, giving us these fantastic skin concepts. It’s safe to say that if any of these were added to the game, they would become pretty popular.

Best Legends to use in Winter Express LTM in Apex Legends Respawn/EAApex Legends’ Winter Express LTM is chugging along as a part of the Holo-Day Bash event, but if you’ve never dropped in and want some tips on which legends to use, we’ve got you covered. With the Holo-Day Bash event returning for the 2020 holiday season, Respawn Entertainment have also brought back the Winter Express limited-time mode. Though, some fans criticized them for “recycling modes, this year’s iteration does include some interesting changes. The mode is completely different from the typical battle royale gameplay you’re used to in Apex. Your team has to take control of the train that used to chug its way around World’s Edge – all while dealing with preset loadouts and enemies who are contesting for control. Plus, there are a few issues with friendly fire now, too. As it’s so different, your usual main Legend might not be as useful here, so here are a few tips and the best characters to use, to help you pick up more wins. In terms of the best Legends to use, you may have to switch things up from who you would usually use in the battle royale mode. For example, Lifeline is great in duos/trios, but she’s not really needed in Winter Express as her healing abilities are rather useless here. Caustic is probably the best legend to use, given that his gas is an absolute killer in the tight spaces. Similarly, Rampart’s amped walls are useful too, especially if you’re camping the train. Wraith, as always, is a stellar choice because her portal can get you out of a sticky situation – of which there are plenty in Winter Express. Additionally, Crypto and Wattson are good choices. Crypto because the drone can be used to auto-scan enemies, while Wattson’s interception pylon nullifies everyone’s stack of grenades. Best Legends for Winter Express LTM Caustic – Wraith – Rampart – Wattson – Crypto – Don’t head right for the train While the name of the game is capturing the train, that doesn’t have to mean you need to land there. You can easily land just off to the side for a cleaner start to looting, and then work your way over. Plus, if you do so, you can annoy enemies who try to capture it right away by disrupting their progress on the capture. Additionally, if you are going for the train, it’s best to attack from the front. Players will be expecting attacks from the side and the back, but the front is often forgotten about. So, use it to your advantage. Of course, you might have your own tactics for dominating the LTM, but there are some general tips everyone can follow, which you can find right here. The Winter Express and Holo-Day Bash event are set to run for another month, until January 4, so you’ve got plenty of time to hone your skills and pick up wins.

Best Legends to use in Arenas in Apex Legends: Ultimate tier list Respawn Entertainment, DexertoApex Legends’ 3v3 mode, Arenas, has a completely different meta to the battle royale. Here’s our ultimate tier list for what Legends are a must-have on your squad. Season 11 is here, and Arenas keeps growing as Apex Legends’ roster of characters does. While the best Legends to use in the Battle Royale mode has been very kind to newcomer Ash, the Arenas mode retains its own meta. The 3v3 deathmatch mode takes Apex Legends’ characters and drops them into smaller, bespoke maps where abilities can make all the difference. Still, not all Legends are made equal, with some characters that perform well in the core battle royale being less useful in Arenas, and vice versa. Without further ado, let’s dive right into what Legends you’ll want to be picking up to maximize your chances of snagging those sweet Ws in Arenas. Best Apex Legends Characters: Arenas Bloodhound Apex Legends’ resident hunter, Bloodhound, carries across their reign of terror into the Arena. Their Eye of the Allfather Tactical is a must-have for any Arenas squad, as the small maps and huge radius of the scan makes hiding pretty difficult for your opponents. Read More: How to play Bloodhound in Apex Legends – This is just amplified by their Ultimate, Beast of the Hunt, which allows you to scan more quickly and well as increase your movement speed. You’ll be able to dodge bullets without even breaking a sweat, whilst giving your teammates constant information on the enemy’s location. Just as is the case in the Battle Royale mode, Bloodhound should be a staple on any Arenas squad that’s looking to cause some chaos. Lifeline Lifeline’s absolutely adorable, but if you come across her in the Arena you won’t be so enchanted by her quips. Her combat medic prowess makes her the perfect supportive pick for Arenas players who still want to take a bit more of a back seat in the Apex action. Read More: How to play Lifeline in Apex Legends – Her D.O.C Heal Drone is necessary for keeping frontline allies safe as they unleash havoc on the enemy squad, and her ability to deploy D.O.C to res any fallen comrades is invaluable. For more tentative players or players that are a little newer to the 3v3 concept, Lifeline is the pick for you. Octane Apex’s resident Speedy Gonzalez is perfect for starting off your Arenas run with a bang. His Stim Tactical will of course get you from A to B quickly, and despite the health it costs, you make this up with his Swift Mend passive. Read More: How to master Octane in Apex Legends – Additionally, his Jump Pads are perfect for hopping into the backline to cause some chaos. Giving Octane himself access, or another offensive teammate, his mobility makes him a pretty good choice when you’re jumping into game. Overall, Octane’s self-healing, especially when healing loot is harder to come across in Arenas, and agility make him the perfect combination of speedy and deadly, just as he was designed to be. Revenant When you think of a fight to the death game mode, designed to prove who’s the bloodiest of them all, Revenant comes to mind as the perfect participant. Turns out this rings true, as the Simulacrum Assassin nets himself the top tier thanks to his abilities. Read More: How to master Revenant in Apex Legends – Considering that Arenas matches are pretty short and sweet, his 20s long Silence Tactical hits pretty hard when you’re unable to use abilities for a decent chunk of time. It’s perfect for cutting off any choke points and deterring enemy advances. That Death Totem can be quite the nightmare, too. As in the Battle Royale, the fact that you get two chances to wipe out the opposition is invaluable, and this is just amplified in the close quarters of the Arena. Bangalore Bangalore has been a staple in Apex from the start, but it turns out she translates beautifully into the new game mode. Read More: How to master Bangalore in Apex Legends – Her mobility when under fire combined with her smokes makes it easy to avoid sharpshooting enemies that have snuck unto the high ground, and also allows allies to make a quick getaway under cover. Similarly to the Battle Royale, a well-placed ult can leave the enemy squad slowed and shaken, but it only really works on open maps, so maps like Party Crasher aren’t going to offer too much in terms of team-wide strikes. Gibraltar Gibby is as lovable as he is deadly, and the Shielded Fortress’ prowess translates well into the chaos of the Arena. Read More: How to play Gibraltar in Apex Legends – His Gun Shield is the ideal tool in a mode where people are literally gunning at you from the get-go, and a well-timed Dome of Protection can be the best way to save allies in a pinch. The iconic bubble can also make a huge shield, buying you all time to recharge, heal and get ready to go. Unfortunately, in the same vein as Bangalore, his ultimate is best utilized in maps with open spaces. His defensive capabilities in the Arena, though, are second to none. Mirage The Outlands resident charmer, Mirage, is a little more impressive in the Arena than on the fields of the Battle Royale (but sadly by no means less insufferable). Read More: How to play Mirage in Apex Legends – The supportive role that the trickster’s passive plays is great for getting you and your allies out of sticky situations. Being able to res a teammate whilst completely invisible obviously has its perks, but dropping a clone when you’re downed can also be confusing for enemies in the heat of battle. Of course, his duplication tactical and ultimate abilities are useful, but he still lacks the punch needed to secure a spot in the S-tier. That’ll dent his ego a bit. Seer Season 10 legend Seer is similar in many ways to Bloodhound, with a focus on identifying enemies through walls. His Focus of Attention ability can identify enemies and their health bars, while his Heart Seeker passive identifies heartbeats via a directional prompt. Read more: How to play Seer in Apex Legends – So, why isn’t Seer has high up the Tier List as Bloodhound? Sadly, it’s because his Focus of Attention is more focused than Eye of the Allfather – meaning if you line it up poorly, you won’t see anything but may give away your position. On the plus side, though, it can disrupt enemy heals if you do get it right. His Ultimate, Exhibit, still feels useful in many situations, though, helping put him at the high-end of the list. Valkyrie Valkyrie, the self-professed queen of the skies has certainly made her mark on the Apex meta, but she isn’t quite as sky-high in the Arenas meta as a lot of people believe she is. Read More: How to play Valkyrie in Apex Legends – Her passive VTOL Jets are fast enough to get out of the way, but are also very loud and leave you vulnerable. While Valk’s mobility is useful for getting you out of tricky situations, her ultimate has very little use in the tight spaces of the Arena. It can propel you upwards and out of the way, but sadly the bigger they are the harder they fall, and you’re likely just to land slap bang in the enemies’ clutches. Wraith The Interdimensional Skirmisher has dominated the Apex meta since she first stepped out of the void, and she’s still a solid pick in the Arena. Read More: How to master Wraith in Apex Legends – Combining the warning from her Voices from the Void Passive and Into the Void Tactical will make her a menace to catch off-guard, and her minute-long Dimensional Drift can move you and your allies out of a tough spot. The issue with it, though, is that Arenas maps are pretty small. Just as with Valk, getting your portal into an area that’s totally obscured will be a pretty difficult task, and you don’t want to be leading your entire team directly into the lion’s den. Ash Apex Legends’ latest addition is a solid choice for battle royale, but Ash feels less powerful in Arenas. That’s because while her Ultimate is ideal for flanking maneuvers, the smaller maps of Arenas feel a little too confined to coordinate using it. Her passive is modified in Arenas, because there are no deathboxes. Instead, when your teammate dies, their killer’s location is marked. Read More: How to play Ash in Apex Legends – Finally, the arc snare can be handy in a 1v1 fight to give you an extra advantage, but it’s hardly worth dropping one of the better-ranked Legends in this list for. Fuse The Australian addition to the Outlands fray hasn’t exactly wowed many players during his short time in the game, and sadly he’s not topping the Arenas tables either. Read More: How to play Fuse in Apex Legends – While his explosives come in handy for lighting a fire under the enemy’s respective tails, there’s very little else he brings to the Arena. His abilities are pretty selfish, which can get awkward in a team-based game. However in terms of raw damage, he still packs quite the punch, so while he’s not at the top of our list, he’s not scraping the bottom of the barrel either. Horizon Scottish scientist and former menace Horizon isn’t as strong as she once was, much to the disappointment of those who chose to main her. Read More: How to master Horizon in Apex Legends – While her Gravity Lift Tactical is still great for scooping allies into the sky and dropping them in a safer spot, the nerfs to her kit mean that it’s no longer as viable offensively. You can’t rain hell from the skies anymore, as her strafe speed and gunplay have taken some real hits. Her ultimate is still great for piling enemies up in one place, but due to materials costs, you can’t exactly hammer the center of the Black Hole with grenades like you would in a Battle Royale. Overall, she’s not great but she’s not terrible. She’s a solid B-tier for sure. Pathfinder Pathfinder might not want to be our friend anymore after he sees where he places on this list, but sadly the loveable robot’s kit doesn’t lend itself very well to the high-intensity action of the Arena. Read More: How to play Pathfinder in Apex Legends – While mobility wise he ranks similar to Octane and can easily penetrate the backlines with his Zipline Gun and Grappling Hook, his Insider Knowledge Passive is useless in this game mode, unlike the Spanish speedster’s invaluable passive. Additionally, there’s not much use for these key abilities unless you’re pushing as a squad, otherwise, Pathfinder will find himself blown into scrap metal as he plummets towards the oncoming fire of the enemy team. Rampart Luckily for the quick-witted defensive Legend, it seems like she has more of a place in the Arenas meta than she does in Battle Royale. Well, kind of. Read More: How to master Rampart in Apex Legends – Her passive does give you the added bonus of increased magazines and reload times across LMG weapons such as the L-Star and Spitfire, which means you don’t need to spend those all-important credits on additional fixtures in the store. Setting up your Amped Cover Tactical shields and then dropping Shiela can let you mow down enemies. And you can now take Shiela on the move, if you’re willing to drop the materials on a charge. She’s a coinflip-style Legend, so are you willing to take the risk? Wattson Wattson is perfect for locking down chunks of territory on the vast expanses of Olympus, Kings Canyon and World’s Edge, but in the tight spaces of the Arena her abilities are a little hit and miss. Read More: How to play Wattson in Apex Legends – While maps like Party Crasher are suited to Wattson’s fences, locking down a site on any of the other maps is a pretty difficult task. We might see this improve on a map like Golden Gardens, coming into rotation in Season 9. It’s her Interception Pylons that save her. While grenades aren’t always high on the wishlist in the Arenas, her ult will stop them in their tracks, letting your allies take on the opposing squad without having to worry about them. Additionally, they charge your shields, and who wouldn’t want that? Loba Despite recent buffs to her Tactical, the Arena is not really the best place for high society thief and fan-favorite support, Loba. Read More: How to master Loba in Apex Legends – Both her Eye for Quality Passive and Black Market Boutique are useless due to the Arena’s store system, and other than shield shells and syringes there’s not much to pick up with her Ult. It can provide a nice shield, but that’s about it. While her Burglar’s Best Friend Tactical is great for getting her out of tight spots, you’ll likely just wind up in a tougher one because you’ve split from your team or, alternatively, landed right in the middle of the fray. Caustic While Caustic has started to move up the rankings in the Battle Royale, the Arena doesn’t seem to be his home yet. His Fortified Passive makes him a little tankier, but sadly that’s where it ends. Read More: How to play Caustic in Apex Legends – Sure his gaseous abilities are great for forcing enemies out of areas, but the issue with the Arena is that they’re more likely to just run straight for you instead of tear off into the sunset. Additionally, since the density of his clouds has been reduced, they’re not the best smokescreen either. Caustic mains might be able to pull off some cool tricks in the deathmatch game mode, but for most players, the toxic scientist won’t be high up the picklist. Crypto As players continue to peel away from Korea’s most notorious hacker in the Battle Royale, it seems like they’ll be doing so in the Arena as well. Read More: How to play Crypto in Apex Legends – The main reason for this is that literally everything centers around using his drone as both a scout and offensive weapon. While you’re using it you’re a sitting duck, and if the tiny eye in the sky gets destroyed your’re left with nothing but your gun skills to get you through. Sadly, Crypto has little to no viability in the Arena, so don’t expect to see him gracing your team’s ranks anytime soon. So that’s it for our Arenas tier list! As the meta continues to shift we’ll keep this page updated, so make sure to check back anytime there’s a new patch. All images courtesy of Respawn Entertainment.

Best Legends to use in Apex Legends Season 22: Ultimate Legend tier list These are the best Legends to use in Apex Legends, ranked on our character tier list for Season 22, to help you decide who to main. In Season 16, Respawn overhauled the class system in Apex, with Legends now placed into one of five new classes. Then, in Season 20, another overhaul came with the addition of Legend upgrades. All Legends now have four upgrades which can be earned during the game, although you can only select two to use. Below, you’ll find our overall rankings for the Legends you want on your squad in Season 22. Remember that any Legend can be strong with practice, as even ‘lower-tier’ characters can be great if you know how to use them correctly, though it’s also important to use the best weapons. Apex Legends character tier list Best Legend – Bloodhound Of the Legends in the S-tier, we recommend using Bloodhound. Their tracking abilities are still top-tier, and Respawn hasn’t felt the need to nerf the Legend from its perch at the top of the meta in multiple seasons. Our tiers explained Here is a short-hand for how each tier breaks down: S-tier: The best Legends in the game – A-tier: Very good Legends offering an alternative to other options – B-tier: Less powerful or more complicated Legends that can still perform well – C-tier: Best to avoid unless you find yourself drawn to them – Now, we’re going to do a deep dive into each character in our Apex Legends tier list, ranking Legends from the top to bottom. S-Tier characters in Apex Legends Bloodhound Overall, Bloodhound is still the best Legend in Apex Legends much of the time. This is thanks to the invaluable information they provide to their team with their powerful but easy-to-use kit. Although their abilities won’t do any damage, the tracking abilities are unmatched, and if you don’t have a Bloodhound on your squad, you’ll find yourself at a big disadvantage against a team that does. Bloodhound hasn’t received any major changes for a few seasons, but they remain well-balanced, despite being top of the pile. They are still as strong as ever when it comes to team composition and scouting out enemies. Bloodhound’s scan is the core of their kit, allowing not just you, but your teammates too, to see enemies in the area highlighted through walls. The only downside to the scan is that enemies will know they’ve been scanned, and therefore know you are close by – but the advantage is still in your favor. Beast of the Hunt, the Ultimate ability, turns Bloodhound into a killing machine for a time, highlighting enemies in red like a digital threat, and now sends out white ravens to help guide you to enemies. This is aided by the passive, showing where enemies have been recently. Check out our top tips for getting wins as Bloodhound. Horizon Horizon has been one of the most prominent Legends since she was introduced in Season 7. However, by the time Season 9 came around, her dominance in the meta was getting too much, and nerfs were needed. Her Gravity Lift was targeted, as it was too easy for players to get instant high ground and beam down on foes from above. Now, players will strafe much slower on the lift, making you a much easier target. You will also be kicked off the top after 2 seconds, so you can’t sit up the top beaming down. Thankfully, since Season 10, players are now much more mobile on Horizon’s lift, making her much more viable. Her accuracy on the lift was nerfed in Season 16, but this isn’t a deal-breaker. Horizon is still one of the best characters in the game, despite repeated nerfs coming her way, and is one of the most popular among higher-ranked players too. Check out our tips for playing as Horizon. Revenant Added in Season 4, Revenant has had ups and downs in the Apex meta. In Season 18, after falling way down the pick rate charts, Respawn gave him a complete overhaul, with all of his abilities changing. His Passive ability, Assassin’s Instinct, still allows him to crouch walk faster and climb higher up walls, but it now also highlights weak enemies around him. And if Revenant himself gets an opponent weak, they are also marked for their team. The new tactical, Shadow Pounce, replaces Silence. Revenant can now leap forward, covering a large distance quickly, to close down on those weak enemies or make a quick rotation. Think of it like an Octane jump pad, anytime you want. The new Ultimate, replacing his Totem, gives Revenant complete damage protection for a time, with the exception of damage from fire, gas, or the ring. Enemies can destroy this protection by dealing damage to it, but it will instantly recharge if Rev gets a knockdown. As players have come to figure him out, this Legend has slowly climbed his way to S tier. Check out the new Revenant reborn here. Pathfinder Pathfinder is back to being one of the best Legends to use within the game after successive nerfs saw him drop to the A tier. He’s still one of the most fun characters to play, and if you can master his grapple, you can move like no other character. The Grapple can still be used to make a quick escape or to push up on weak opponents before they get the chance to heal. Other Legends are better for making a quick escape, but aggressive plays are reworded way more in this meta than passive positions. His movement is still unrivaled on paper, and the Zipline Ultimate works similarly to the Wraith’s portal, getting your team out of a tight spot, or to get to hard-to-reach locations. Of course, enemies can also use it, so you need to watch your back. Check out our top tips for playing as Pathfinder. A-Tier characters in Apex Legends Alter Alter is a Skirmisher in Apex Legends and was added in Season 21. What makes her an excellent choice is her ability to open portals through hard surfaces like walls or ground, thanks to her Void Passage tactical. This is especially useful when an enemy has a door blocked, to shield up or heal – you can simply create an opening through the wall to take them down. Her Gift from the Rift passive ability allows you to remotely loot an item from distant deathboxes. Alter’s ultimate, Void Nexus, acts similar to Wraith’s portal – but the downside is it’s only one way (much like Ash’s ultimate). The ultimate deploys a device and after using it, it brings you and your teammates back to the point where you dropped it. This can be crucial when you want to escape a fight or get third-partied by other teams and you don’t want them to follow you. Alter has been nerfed slightly since release but remains a top pick and top-tier fighter. Gibraltar Support characters are the backbone of your team, and Gibraltar has encompassed that role within teams thanks to the ample amount of buffs the developers have laid upon him. Even though he isn’t used much in ranked, he is still a formidable Legend in the right hands. His Ultimate ability has enough potential damage to zone the enemy away, and the Dome Shield can be a lifesaver for not just you, but your whole team. You do have to watch out for enemies using it too, though, as there’s nothing stopping them from getting inside. Overall, Gibraltar is one of the best characters, but he’s still a big, tanky character who is hard to miss. Some players will definitely find a more nimble character beneficial. With that said, he’s a powerful asset on any team. Check out our guide on dominating matches as Gibraltar. Valkyrie Despite some big nerfs in Season 14, Valkyrie’s unique set of abilities still make her a very strong pick. However other Legends and their impact on the meta have pushed her down to A tier. Her Ultimate Ability is Skyward Dive, which enables you and your teammates to launch to the sky and redeploy. You will also see teammates in your line of sight highlighted as you are in the air. Her main passive, the jetpacks, allow Valkyrie to reach almost any spot on the map, and instantly get the high ground, but, they are very loud, which is one of the big drawbacks. You also can’t fire weapons while using the jetpack, making you a sitting duck. With the ability to instantly rotate with your whole squad, and to get high ground easily in any situation, Valkyrie is still a powerful character, whether you’re playing solo or as a tactical trio. But, if you don’t have a Valk on your team, the new mobile redeploy beacons are a good alternative. Check out all our top tips for taking down the opposition as Valkyrie. Caustic Caustic has moved up and down our tier list like a yo-yo. With buffs, followed by nerfs, followed by buffs again, Caustic has found his way back into the meta at the top level of Apex. In Season 12, Respawn made his traps destructible even after they’ve been triggered – but, with 150HP per barrel, it’s not actually as big a nerf as you might think. In fact, it may even be a buff, with enemies often directing their ammo at the barrel, or simply evacuating. In an organized team composition, Caustic is very powerful in the right hands, and with his Gas now much more dangerous, an experienced Caustic player on your team can be the difference between winning and losing. Check out our best tips on mastering Caustic. Wraith Since the release of Apex Legends, Wraith has undoubtedly been one of the best Legends each season. This is in large part due to her ability to create chaos on the battlefield with her abilities. And she is consistently still one of the most picked Legends at all skill levels. Whenever you and your squad are engaging in team battles, you will often find Wraith sneaking into the backlines or trying to flank her opponents with her Tactical Ability ‘Into the Void’. This enables Wraith to seemingly avoid all damage while getting a better position on the enemies you are battling. Wraith continues to be at the top of the Apex realm, and will always be a top pick at every level of the game. Check out our guide on making the best plays as Wraith. Wattson Wattson is a great team-based Legend, and in the right hands, can be deadly too. Her Ultimate ability destroys enemy throwables and allows a squad to hold down a position. Your shield will also recharge in the vicinity. Combined with her Perimeter Security traps, Wattson can be a great squadmate to have if you’re playing as a team. However, she can’t be placed any higher on this list because she certainly isn’t the best pick for solo players. If you haven’t played Wattson before though, it might take you a bit of time to get ‘good’ with her abilities – knowing when and where to place fences, and using your ultimate when it matters most. With practice, Wattson can be a crucial team player. Wattson got a slight buff in Season 22, making them powerful and plugging them into A tier. Check out our tips on how to master a match as Wattson. Lifeline Having a Lifeline on your squad can literally be a lifesaver, as she shines in supportive abilities. But, in Season 9, her res shield was removed, meaning teammates are now exposed when being revived by the Drone. Still, Lifeline can revive two players at once while she continues fighting. Also, her drone now heals faster, at 8HP per second. The new support class means Lifeline can also craft banners of fallen teammates, meaning you never have to be a player down. Lifeline’s Ultimate was also massively improved in Season 9, as it now guarantees to drop an upgrade to your gear. Having the chance to capture a Legendary or Epic piece of equipment can be the deciding factor in a lot of Apex matches, and Lifeline is still one of the best characters to have on your team. Check out how to master your plays as Lifeline. Loba Although Loba was once a low pick, fixes to her tactical have allowed her to thrive once more. Respawn has adjusted her Burglar’s Best Friend ability, allowing players to slide/move and shoot at full speed when the bracelet is equipped. This is a significant change that should see fans flock to Loba in addition to it being much less buggy. On the flip side, they did increase the cooldown for her Black Market Boutique from 90 seconds to 120 seconds, and it has been increased again to 150s in Season 18. But this is not that big of a deal, considering it’s still a short cooldown compared to most other Ultimate abilities. The changes to her bracelet are the main reason that she moves up to A tier, and is now truly one of the most powerful characters. Also in the support class, she gets the ability to craft banners too. Check out our guide on racking up the wins as Loba. Vantage Added in Season 14, Vantage is a solid pick, especially for players who like to snipe, but can be quite niche too. If you love fighting at a distance then, of course, Vantage will be a great pick, but her tactical also allows for quick maneuvers if things get a bit too close and personal. Vantage has been given some steady buffs in the past few seasons, moving her up the food chain, even in the highest ranks of play Check out our top tips for playing as Vantage. B-Tier characters in Apex Legends Catalyst Catalyst, added in Season 15, bears few similarities to other Legends, as her abilities all make use of ferrofluid, of which she has masterful control. Catalyst isn’t exactly a meta Legend, but her Ultimate being able to counter scans (mostly) is obviously a big plus, with Bloodhound being so popular. Her Passive, the ability to reinforce doors, is a great ability when combined with other defensive legends on your team – but if you’re playing with an Octane and a Pathfinder, you might find it a bit more situational. Finally, the Tactical, which slows enemies caught in the ferrofluid trap, is a great evasive ability, but how useful it is in attacking a team is questionable. Catalyst is certainly a very useful Legend, but remains very niche. Check out our top tips for playing Catalyst. Octane The speedy trickster Octane is definitely one of the most fun Legends to play. Running super fast with his stim, soaring over enemies with the jump pad, and healing on the move makes him a joy to play. His stims will now damage you by 20HP instead of the previous 12HP, though, so you have to be a bit more careful. The cooldown is now reduced too, meaning you can pretty much instantly spam the stim again – but you’ll be down to very low health quickly if you do. The jump pad is one of the best movement abilities in Apex, and the whole team can use it – but so can enemies. He’s not quite as good as the S-tier characters, and his abilities won’t help you win many gunfights, but if you’re all about speed, Octane is the Legend for you. He is often among the top three most popular legends, thanks to how fun he is to play. Check out our guide for dominating matches as Octane. Bangalore You would think that a Legend with the ability to cover the battlefield with smoke grenades would be at the top of any Apex Legends tier list. However, in the case of Bangalore, she has been flying under the radar since the game was released. Her smoke is certainly useful, but more often than not, it’s used for trying to escape from a tight spot. There are other characters that are better for this including Loba, Octane, and Wraith. The problem now is that there are far too many scanning abilities that will completely counter Bangalore’s smoke, not to mention digital threat scopes. Although, aim assist is nerfed when firing in a smoke. Despite some light nerfs in Seasom 19, Bangalore is still a viable pick. Players who main her regularly will become proficient at the best time to use her abilities. Double Time is also one of the best passives in the game, even if it has been cut down. Respawn also increased the cooldown for Bangalore’s ultimate to 240s, making it one of the longest cooldowns of any ult. Check out our best tips for playing as Bangalore. Crypto Crypto has gotten some love from Respawn in Season 22 and has slowly been climbing the pick rate charts ever since. He is still a niche pick, but not entirely unwieldy like he has been in the past. With team coordination, the Surveillance Expert has the potential to be great. He predominantly suffers from the rest of the team constantly pushing it and being outnumbered, but coupled with more thoughtful gameplay, Crypto can be a good pick. Crypto isn’t a bad character but is simply a more cerebral Legend than most players will want to use, so it is hard to justify his position at any higher tiers on our list. Check out our tricks on how to play Crypto. Conduit Added in Season 19, after Respawn took a break from adding new characters, Conduit is not a massive shake-up of the meta but is still a great character to try. Her abilities are not always game-winners, but there are certainly a lot of benefits to having her shield-granting powers on your side. Her Ultimate, which sends out a bunch of devices that damage and slow enemies, can be useful, but we’re not convinced it quite satisfies the sense of a truly powerful ultimate, worth waiting for. Maggie On paper, Maggie was a scary sight when she was unveiled ahead of Season 12. However, her kit has turned out to be just ok. Her passive scan after damage is great but is rather short, so you rarely have to worry too much as long as you move quickly – or just shoot back. Her tactical, the drill, is certainly a highlight of her kit, but it’s also easy to waste by missing your shot. If you love shotguns, Maggie will be a go-to pick thanks to her shotgun speed buffs, but it’s probably not enough to push her into the upper tiers – not yet anyway. We would be surprised if Maggie isn’t in line for some buffs. Check out our tips for playing Mad Maggie here. Newcastle Newcastle certainly has a place in the meta as a support-oriented, defensive Legend, but he’s far from the best option overall in this role. Crucially, his ability to get to teammates in need quickly makes him a perfect hybrid between a support character, and a character with great movement. If you compare it to other Legends who can zip across distances quickly (think Pathfinder next, with his grapple) Newcastle is simply much more effective at this. However, Newcastle is not a popular pick for movement fans (e.g. Octane mains) or support players who will still prefer Lifeline. For now, that keeps him in the B-tier. Check out our guide to playing Newcastle here. Fuse Fuse joined in Season 8 and has some very strong abilities on paper. Being able to stack two grenades per slot, and then slingshot them out, means he can deal a ridiculous amount of explosive damage, very fast. His ultimate is fine, but it’s very easy for enemies to escape the ring of fire he puts down. Thankfully, Season 10 added the ability to track enemies caught in it, giving Fuse some much-needed power. Fuse’s knuckle cluster now has two charges and a reduced cooldown for each charge of 20 seconds, and Respawn has made it last twice as long in Season. For these reasons, he finally escapes the C-tier and can move up to B. Check out our tips on how to play Fuse. Seer Not only does Seer’s passive show you the direction of enemies with a heartbeat sensor, but his tactical can also scan, interrupt abilities, interrupt healing, interrupt revives, show enemies health bars, and track for 8 seconds. It doesn’t deal damage anymore, but that was more power than it really needed. But, major nerfs in Seasons 18 and 19 have seen Seer drop out of the upper echelons of play, and he’s simply a worse Bloodhound in most situations. Check out our tips for playing as Seer. Rampart Season 6’s Quick Witted Modder, Rampart, was comfortably one of the worst legends for most of her lifetime in the game. Fortunately, Respawn eventually tackled some of Rampart’s shortcomings to ensure she saw her full potential as a legend in Apex. The most crucial change was allowing Rampart to move with her Ultimate, Shiela. Now, you can carry around the most powerful weapon in the game (Kraber notwithstanding) and take out enemies with aggression. Rampart’s walls have always been a useful ability and now pair even better with the Ultimate. Rampart got a much-needed buff in Season 13 and has gotten another slight change in Season 22 that has bumped her into B-tier. Check out our guide on how to play Rampart. C-Tier characters in Apex Legends Mirage Mirage started off as a very underpowered character in Apex Legends. His Ultimate ability was pretty useless, and his Tactical felt a bit gimmicky compared to many of the others. Thankfully, a rework eventually came, and those who master Mirage will argue he should be in A-tier. Certainly, with enough practice, and in the right hands, he can be a menace. However, his abilities are still very one-dimensional, and he doesn’t offer a lot to a squad in terms of team play, outside of his ability to cloak when reviving. Mirage’s Ultimate will definitely get you out of a tight spot, especially if you’re playing against less-skilled players who are more easily ‘bamboozled’. We still think Mirage could do with some more power though. Check out our guide on how to master Mirage. Ballistic Ballistic was added in Season 17, and despite his advanced years, he’s already proven to be a great character to play, thanks to his versatile abilities. Notably, his ultimate turns your whole team into the ultimate fighting squad, with faster reloads and movement speed, plus Ballistic’s Sling weapon gets kitted out. Speaking of the Sling Weapon, Ballistic is the only character able to carry three weapons, and even if it can’t take attachments, this is still a great bonus in a pinch. And not much needs to be said about his smart-pistol-inspired tactical. However, there were better options for solo players and ranked teams, and coordination is needed to play the Legend to the fullest. Ash The Season 11 Legend Ash is the first pilot to enter the Apex games (no, Valkyrie is not a pilot). Instantly, it was clear that Ash would be a popular pick with her kit at launch. Her Ultimate is similar to Wraith’s, except it’s only one way, and has a shorter maximum range. But, it’s much faster to use, and the cooldown is much shorter too. Perhaps Ash’s strongest asset though is her passive. Identifying death boxes and then being able to use her data knife to get instant locations on the enemy squad is more recon information than most recon legends get (looking at you, Crypto). Ashe is not a terrible character, but other more powerful Legends are available that do almost the same things. Check out our guide to playing as Ash here. Best Apex Legends characters for new players Bloodhound – Lifeline – Octane – Loba – Wraith – While there are many highly effective legends in Apex Legends, some are more difficult to master than others. For example, even though Valkyrie is a powerful Legend, mastering when to use her abilities best for your team might require more experience playing Apex. Even though new players can find success using a variety of characters in Apex Legends, Bloodhound, Lifeline, Octane, Loba, and Wraith have strong and relatively easy abilities to use, so you can’t really go wrong in picking them. If you need to make a quick escape, then Loba, Wraith, and Octane are all good picks and will let you reset before heading back into the fight. That’s our current ranking of the characters in Apex Legends – but this list will change as future updates happen and new Legends are added throughout the game’s lifecycle. Now that you know where each Legend shapes up in Apex’s current meta for season 22, combine these with the best guns to get the ideal results. And if you’re wondering how to get Heirloom Shards, our guide has all you need to know.

Best landing spots for loot on Apex Legends map in Season 4 Respawn EntertainmentScrounging around for weapons and items is never a good thing in Apex Legends, especially at the start of each game when you’re vulnerable. So, let’s break down all of the locations on the World’s Edge map that have the most supply bins. The game’s fourth season, Assimilation, got underway on February 4 and with that huge update came not only a change to certain areas of the island, but also some tweaks made to where bins spawn as well. Some players had a sneaking suspicion that blue rare supply bins would be part of these changes, but Respawn Entertainment’s developers have since confirmed that those aren’t featured in the game. As for the red ones, which have all sorts of useful stuff inside, let’s take a look at where they drop most. Supply bin spawns in Apex Legends – Where do they appear most? Here we’re going to break down, from fifth position to top, where the most bins spawn in Apex Legends. Hopefully this will give you a better idea of where to land in the future, or evidence to suggest a change in approach for your teammates. 5. Skyhook As many players will know already, Skyhook is one of the most popular destinations in Apex Legends – with a number of towering buildings filled with weapons and items. There are a total of 26 supply bins to be found at the destination, meaning that there’s enough for a few Trios to land here and comfortably have enough to battle right off the bat. It’s a very popular place as well, for those reasons. 4. The Dome Dropping at this lava-filled loot sanctuary might be a bit daunting at first. After all, falling into the molten rock is quite dangerous and there’s not always an easy way of getting out once you have fell in. However, it’s definitely one where the reward outweighs the risk with The Dome in Apex Legends, as there are 30 supply bins waiting to be opened. It’s not necessarily one of the most populated locations, either, and has another great looting spot right near it – Lava City. There, you will find an additional 14 bins, making this a really good place to land or visit. 3. The Fragments Between Fragment North and Fragment West there are a total of 32 supply bins, although they are spread across quite a larger distance than other points of interest – hence their names being broken in two. Taking one side of the Fragments, given the amount of stuff there is to find, however, would stand any player in good stead for the rest of the game. It can be very difficult to do that in some games, though, due to the sheer amount of legends dropping here. It’s very popular. 2. Sorting Factory You could very well be sorting a ton of loot of your own, if you have a successful start to the game at Sorting Factory. The huge factory location packs a punch where weapons and items are concerned, with 45 supply bins spawning at the location every game. 1. Thermal Station Finally, the place where the most supply bins spawn in Apex Legends Season 4 is Thermal Station – which won’t be a surprise to many regular players. You might have spotted a common theme among these popular looting spots by now. Where there’s lava, there seems to be a shed load of bins to come with it. There’s a total of 58 supply bins at this spot alone. Supply bin spawns for all Apex Legends locations If you don’t land at any of those five regularly, you can check out the number of supply bins that appear at your favorite landing spot in the list below – using stats from ApexLegendsMap. Drill Site –11 bins – Lava City – 14 bins – Lava Fissure – 23 bins – Mirage Voyage – 22 bins – Overlook – 19 bins – Refinery – 25 bins – Skyhook – 26 bins – Sorting Factory – 45 bins – Survey Camp – 10 bins – The Dome – 30 bins – The Epicenter – 24 bins – The Fragments – 32 bins – The Geyser – 17 bins – The Harvester – 24 bins – The Train Yard – 24 bins – The Tree – 11 bins – Thermal Station – 58 bins – It’s worth noting that these statistics don’t necessarily mean that these locations are definitely the best to loot, as you have to take into account not just the popularity of each drop zone, but also the floor loot that will also be scattered around some places. One or two locations not featured in the top five from earlier may have a lower amount of overall weapons and items spawn there, when compared to those in the longer list above. What these stats do tell us, however, is a reason for some of these destinations being swarmed on by players at the start of every match.

Best Kings Canyon landing spots in Apex Legends Season 12 Respawn EntertainmentKings Canyon has returned to the map rotation in Season 12, but which areas of the map yield the most loot, and give you the best chance at picking up the victory? Kings Canyon is situated on the planet Solace and for many players, it will have been the first place they got to play the Apex Games. Rolling the clock back to when seasons weren’t even a thing, the developers released the game in February 2019 with just this setting. Fast forward to Season 12, the map has been through a series of significant changes along the way, including the explosive arrival of Fuse back in Season 8. Despite having a variety of POIs, it can still be difficult to know exactly where to land on Kings Canyon, especially if you’re looking to maximize the amount of loot you can find. Apex Legends Season 12 Kings Canyon map Here’s the latest version of Kings Canyon, to help you find each landing spot we mention in our list! Best Kings Canyon landing spots The Cage While it can certainly be a hot drop for some, located pretty much in the middle of the arena, The Cage can be a great starting point for confident players. Landing at the top of the unforgiving cage structure is a risk, as that’s usually the go-to for squads, make it out alive and you’ve got some super loot to kick things off – on most occasions. Nearby, there are options to rotate to, as well, including Market, Hydro Dam, Labs, and Capacitor. Salvage Salvage is in a great place on Kings Canyon, located where Skull Town and Thunderdome used to be. It’s in close proximity to Mirage Voyage, and then older locations like Market and Gauntlet. This provides you with either fresh hunting grounds after finding some high-tier loot, or escape paths when things get busy. This is a massive excavation site and certainly one of the best places to drop. However, do watch out because that close proximity advantage we just spoke about can also mean a lot of gunfights in the early game. This is the location to land if you fancy a challenge. Crash Site A highly contested area of the map in Season 12 is Crash Site, and for good reason. With three Explosive Holds nearby and a load of loot spread across loot bins and on the floor, it’s no surprise that this is a very popular place to go. With Artillery, Spotted Lake, and Containment just around the corner – it’s a great place to start the match. Water Treatment One of the most popular destinations on the map. Water Treatment is an area of Kings Canyon that’s packed with supply bins and good floor loot, not to mention the new Explosive Hold on the right side of the POI as you head down the coast towards Repulsor. You can walk away from this place set up for the final rings at times, but it all depends on whether you can fend off the handful of teams that also have the same goals in mind. Spotted Lake Added to the map in Season 8, Spotted Lake is an ideal location for players who want a steadier start to the match, and prefer a slower playstyle. With hundreds of places to find loot here, we’re sure you will pick up a couple of grenades to blow those open and walk away from this destination looted up for the end game. Or, be eliminated by another team thinking the same thing. Spotted Lake doesn’t appear to be one of the busier locations in Season 12, but let’s see how the season develops. That could change! The Rig The Rig looks a lot like another Salvage in Apex Legends, and to be fair they’re equally as good. With multiple high and low places to find weapons, there should be enough here to set up your Trio or Duo in no time. Read More: What is ‘Tropics’ in Apex Legends? – Near this spot, you also have easy access to Broken Relay and Capacitor, which are two very strong looting grounds in their own right. Not to mention Swamps as well, which isn’t one of the best, but certainly a decent place to loot through as you head to the first ring. Artillery For regular Apex Legends players, Artillery will be no stranger. It’s always been a very good place to land and that remains the same in Season 12. There aren’t too many locations near it in terms of the immediate proximity, though with how much stuff can be found here that’s really not an issue. Your team should be well equipped after landing here but watch your back for enemies. Broken Relay Last, but certainly not least, is Broken Relay. Found in the North-Eastern region of the map, this is one of the less hectic locations on our list. There’s a selection of small two-story buildings here to loot up, and with it being just a stone’s throw away from The Rig, another place we recommend, it’s an ideal starting point for players. Read More: How to counter third-parties in Apex Legends – A good idea would be to start here where it’s usually not a highly competitive zone and then circle around to one of the more popular locations nearby to third-party enemies fighting there. Hopefully, in this Best Kings Canyon landing spots guide there’s something for everyone – ranging from busy to more quiet places. Think we missed the best spot to land? Reckon you’ve found the best secret spot to land for loot and kills this season? Let us know on Twitter @alphaINTEL.

Best FOV for Apex Legends on PS4, Xbox and PC Respawn/EAHaving the perfect setup is one of the keys to victory in Apex Legends, with FOV being a hotly debated topic every season. So, we’ve got the best FOV settings for Apex Legends that could change the game for you. [jwplayer KEHOOBWR] There are plenty of factors that go into having success in Apex Legends. Of course, you need to pick the right Legend for your playstyle, find strong weapons and attachments, and have some luck with the safe zone. Outside of those, you also need to get settings that fit too. This laundry list of options includes the FOV, or Field of View, that allows you to see more, or less if you want, of the action depending on what feels comfortable. It’s an adjustable setting, so depending on the day, you might decide to try something else. So, if you want to make a tweak, we’ve got a few options that will fit a few different playstyles. 105 FOV Most players might see the FOV setting and quickly bump it up so that they can see everything, and while that doesn’t work for everyone, it is a viable option. In that case, you’ll want to bump it up to around 105, because you’ll be able to see players clearly on both the right and left sides of the screen, while also retaining a somewhat central feeling to your FOV. It will have a slight drawback if you’re fighting at range because it won’t give you that tunnel vision-like feeling of a lower setting, but if you’re playing with a higher FOV, that’s unlikely to be your playstyle anyway. If you sit physically farther away from your TV/monitor, this very wide FOV will make it trickier for you to spot targets far in the distance. A higher FOV can also reduce the frame rate, so if you’re not on a powerful PC setup, you may notice reduced FPS on a higher FOV setting. 90 FOV Setting your FOV to 90 is perfect if you want to strike a balance between fighting at both long and short-range as it offers good vision for both. Going with 90 doesn’t give you the tunnel vision-like feeling of slightly lower settings, and is a bit more natural than reaching 100 or even going beyond that. You’ll feel like whatever enemy you’re targeting is in the middle of your view at all times. 70-75 FOV Now, if you want something that is very long-range focused, going between 70-75 is the best option, regardless of whether you’re on PC or a console. Yes, you won’t be able to see everything to your side, of course, but everything that appears at distance will be more central in your view rather than just being a speck of dust in some others.

Best characters to use together in new Apex Legends duos mode The long-awaited release of a duos mode dropped in Apex Legends this week, and competitive players are already trying to figure out the best character combos to crown themselves Champions of the Arena. With the release of Crypto at the launch of Apex’s Season 3, Respawn’s battle royale title had its character pool bumped up to eleven. That means there are a whopping 55 different two-legend combinations players can currently take onto World’s Edge. That’s a lot of different combinations to work your way through, and trial and error is always going to be a little bit tough too — what if you are testing Bloodhound and Lifeline together, and you get knocked in the very first loot-rush? Read more: Conduit & Forge abilities and images leaked – Fortunately, we’ve put together what we consider four of the best combinations that you can currently take into the arena, with the legend’s abilities complementing each other just enough to make sure you’ll have the edge against other pairs. Bangalore & Bloodhound — The Original Duo Apex Legends has seen plenty of metas come and go since Season 1, but one legends combo has stuck strong through thick and thin: the original pairing of the smoke-wielding, trigger-happy Bangalore, and the game’s deadly tracker Bloodhound. As well as the pace that Bangalore’s passive gives her to hunt down the enemies that Bloodhound has sniffed out, the duo shine in tight fights where they can drop a smoke grenade, before using Bloodhound’s sensor ability to find their blinded targets. Unfortunately for Bangalore, her ultimate has been dubbed relatively weak in recent times, and is often out-shined by other barrages like Gibraltar’s, but if you use it as a zoning technique to close the gap before popping a smoke, that’s a job well done. For Bloodhound, it’s clean up duty. Once the Professional Solider has closed the distance with her bag of tricks, the Technological Tracker comes to play, cracking open enemies in the smoke with their Eye of the Allfather, and their Beast of the Hunt ultimate. Crypto & Wattson — Control the Map With so many pacey duos running around, the two-player playlist is a chance for area control to really shine. Crypto and Wattson pull this off perfectly, complimenting each other with zone management abilities, as well as great information gathering special moves. By using Crypto’s Surveillance Drone, you can figure out exactly where enemies are hiding, and employ that information by guiding them intro traps and dead-ends with Wattson’s powerful Perimeter Security fence. Once guided exactly where you want them to go, you can detonate Crypto’s EMP in his drone, drop down one of Wattson’s Interception Pylon’s to charge up her ability and stop the enemy from spamming ultimates and grenades to escape, and get to work cutting them down. While Crypto and Wattson have the best information gathering in the game, and have strong area control with their abilities, Caustic is also an option to pair with Wattson due to his powerful poisonous traps, though you lose Crypto’s map-covering drone. Pathfinder & Wraith — Don’t Stop Moving Running, gunning, and generally never slowing down — that’s the gameplan for Pathfinder and Wraith as they speed across World’s Edge for a duos victory. There are certainly better synergies ability-wise in the game, with most of Wraith and Pathfinder’s special moves quite self-centered, but there are a few ways the pair can shine in spite of this. With Pathfinder’s passive, you can find out exactly where the circle will be moving, and set up well before other duos make their way to the area. With zip lines and teleporters-aplenty, you can also cover on the high ground whenever you want, grabbing a sniper rifle or ranged machine gun before stepping out onto a tall building, well out of reach of the enemies below, and pick off a few kills before hightailing it. Read more: How to play Duos mode in Apex Legends – Luckily for the pair too, you don’t have to work perfectly as a team if you want to succeed. While some duos rely on each other to make their power work, both Pathfinders and Wraiths can hit the ‘bail-button’ whenever they want, just in case things fall apart. While Pathfinder and Wraith are the two most popular hyper-mobile legends, Stim-guzzling Octane would certainly fit the go-go-go nature of this duo pairing, so it really comes down to personal preference for these three choices. Lifeline & Gibraltar — Defense is the Best Offense Defensive playstyles, or ‘turtling,’ has always been a strong way to win battle royales, even if it’s a little frowned upon by players who are speeding around the map hunting kills, and there’s no better combo for that then Lifeline and Gibraltar. Between Gibraltar’s Dome Shield passive 25 percent healing boost for legends inside its shields, Lifeline’s famous D.O.C. Heal Drone, and the built-in combat shield she boasts for reviving allies, the pair are always sure to be back on their feet in seconds. While this slow, methodical playstyle might take a while and means you’ll often find yourself fighting as the final circle closes in, that’s where Gibraltar’s final piece of the puzzle shines. With your shields and heals keeping you healthy, you should arrive at the final fight ready to go, while others may have dragged themselves right to the final few squads. This is where you drop Gibraltar’s Defensive Bombardment, and clean up for the win. Of course, you don’t always need to take synergies into your duos games, especially if you’re a Mirage main – the double-trouble trickster doesn’t really have a way to prop up his teammates, making him a poor choice in the two-player playlists. At the end of the day though, Apex Legends is a well-balanced game, and one that can you see you play nearly any character you want and still claim the crown. Just make sure you’re well versed in which duos do have synergies, because you’ll be seeing them a lot in World’s Edge.

Best Broken Moon landing spots in Apex Legends Season 15 Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends’ Broken Moon map has arrived in Season 15, but which POIs yield the most loot, and give you the best chance at securing a victory? Arriving on November 1, Broken Moon is the latest map to be added to Apex Legends in the major Season 15 update. With a breathtaking skybox and a zip rail travel system that allows players to rotate between each POI in a matter of seconds, Broken Moon matches feel significantly faster-paced than the other maps in the Outlands. However, with bigger POIs and more loot than ever, deciding where to land on Broken Moon can be challenging, but picking the right spot is essential if you want to maximize your chances of winning. To save you some time, we’ve got a list of the best Broken Moon landing spots to suit every kind of player, no matter how you like to approach a match. Contents Best Broken Moon landing spots in Season 15 Terraformer Terraformer’s central position on Broken Moon means it often attracts a lot of squads at the start of a match, so if you’re looking for a scrap, this could be the perfect POI for you. The central tower is surrounded by multiple buildings brimming with loot as well as countless supply bins, so there’s certainly plenty of gear to go around. Ultimately, this king-of-the-hill-style location encourages all squads to head toward the tower once they’re ready to fight. This often results in a huge action-packed skirmish with the victorious team being well set up for the remainder of the game. Breaker Wharf Not everyone wants to head to a hot-drop location at the start of a match, and Breaker Wharf is a solid option for those who want a slower-paced introduction on Broken Moon. Situated in the far North-West corner of the map, this POI contains two parallel structures that are packed with verticality and loot. Perfect for medium-range gunfights and skirmishes with one other squad, the area is incredibly fun to navigate, making it easy to pull off impressive outplays. While landing at POIs positioned on the outskirts of Kings Canyon, World’s Edge, Olympus, and Storm Point can often result in boring games, this is certainly not the case for Broken Moon thanks to zip rails. The travel system allows an easy rotation out of Breaker Wharf to the next POI, keeping the action coming and allowing you to find a set of enemies in no time. Alpha Base Located inside of a giant moon crater, Alpha Base is a POI where you have to fight for your rewards, but anyone who is looking to rack up kills should definitely consider landing here. Densely packed lunar buildings encourage close-quarter gunfights making weapons like the Peacekeeper and EVA extremely effective. Not only that, the walls that surround the area keep gunfights contained, so you’ll have to eliminate all the competition before looking to exit the area. Eternal Gardens Without a doubt the most beautiful POI on Broken Moon, Eternal Gardens is a vast open space that forces players to take long-range range gunfights. With supply bins sprinkled around, you’ll have to be tactical when navigating the area, but you’ll be rewarded if you can outmaneuver any pesky opponents nearby. Eternal Gardens also has the only jump tower on the Broken Moon map, so if a skirmish starts to take a turn for the worse, don’t be afraid to make a great escape with the rest of your squad. As it’s located on the east side of the map, rotations to Stasis Array and The Divide are both great options after you’ve finished taking in the view of the gardens. Perpetual Core Similar to Terraformer, Perpetual Core is another POI for aggressive players who aren’t afraid of taking on multiple squads. High-risk high reward, Perpetual Core offers long-range sniper opportunities as well as the cover to push your opponents and catch them off guard. With a lot of loot available after dropping, this gear will be quickly scooped up by the number of squads in the area, so you’ll have to take it back from their death boxes or make a quick rotation to Breaker Wharf. Backup Atmo Another POI on the outskirts of the map, Backup Atmo is jam-packed with loot and a great spot for players who want to get as strong as possible before looking for a gunfight. Situated in the North-East corner, it’s unlikely to be filled with enemies unless the drop ship heads straight over it at the start of a match. With a huge amount of loot bins and a few small buildings, focus on gearing up as quickly as possible and then rotating to either Alpha Base or Stasis Array. That rounds off our list of the best landing spots for the Apex Legends map Broken Moon. Hopefully, this guide has provided you with plenty of locations to choose from, no matter what type of player you are.

Best Apex Legends skin concepts Respawn should use in Season 4 EA/Wolfdawgartcorner (Reddit)Respawn Entertainment has built up quite the reputation for flexing their creative muscles in Apex Legends. But, fans’ own efforts are just as good, and could be perfect for Season 4. While Apex Legends has taken the battle royale genre by storm for its fluid movement system and fast-paced, character-driven gameplay, Respawn have changed the cosmetic meta by incorporating a plethora of goodies for fans. From a seemingly endless option of Legend customization to an abundance of weapon skins, the developers behind the Apex Games have treated fans to plenty of additional cosmetics since launch. There’s always room for more though, and players have their own ideas about new outfits for their favorite Legends. Here’s just some of the best ahead of Season 4. Octane (Luchador) Reddit user ‘neen87’ has infused Octane’s heritage with Mexican wrestlers with their skin concept. Combining the Adrenaline Junkie’s base character model with a cape and wreslting mask, the skin was lapped up by the Apex Legends community — achieving over 1.1k upvotes. Snow Day Octane Artist, ‘Wolfdawgartcorner’ has also put their stamp on an Octane skin. A skin fit for an Arctic expedition, ‘Snow Day’ would be the perfect attire for World’s Edge’s Epicenter. Crypto (Tae Joon Park) Self-proclaimed loremaster, ‘FrozenFroh’ has delivered simple Crypto design which has ties into the Surveillance Expert’s past (before going rogue after his sister mysteriously vanished). Although a simple render on, the skin idea stems from Crypto’s previous identity as Tae Joon Park. Given that Respawn have been keen to tie into character lore with their character skins (i.e., Wraith Voidwalker), Tae Joon might be an ideal way to spruce the latest Legend. Hype Beast Wattson Reddit user ‘_artem155_’ has created a ‘Hype Beast’ skin for Wattson, which appears to be inspired from Crypto’s new Grand Soirée skin. Given Wattson’s technological proficiency, the skin – which is complete with LEDs embedded in the collar – arguably suits her character more than Crypto. Having gained almost 10k upvotes and a reply from a Respawn developer, a ‘Hype Beast’ render of Wattson could make its way into World’s Edge at some point throughout Season 4. Putrid Plague Doctor Caustic Another entry from the talents of Wolfdawgartcorner, a play on an experiment gone wrong, the notorious plague doctor from the 17th century is fitting attire for Apex Games’ very own mad scientist. Given Respawn’s interaction with the Apex Legends’ community, fans everywhere continue to post their creative efforts. Who knows, perhaps one of the above concepts will be available in Respawn’s flagship battle royale at some point in the future.

Best Apex Legends skin concepts in May: Revenant, Bangalore, Wraith Reddit: u/LlamasRedditPink / Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends fans’ have established their penchant for designing their own characters skins, regularly sharing incredible artwork to the game’s subreddit. Here, we’ve picked some of our favorite concept skins from May of 2021. Whether we see them in-game at any point is another matter, but it’s always enjoyable to look at how fans want to see their favorite legends. ‘Dressed to Kill’ Revenant First up is a ‘dressed to kill’ Revenant look, with the skeletal assassin given a spine-tingling formal look. A waistcoat and tie are joined by a deep blue hood, in a truly suave rethinking of the spider-like mercenary. Artist @fayren on Twitter actually made the concept back in March of 2020, but it popped up again in May more than a year later, getting tons of love on Reddit and social media for a second time — and we can understand why. Revenant but he starts accepting his new body and dressing like he used to 🥺🖤 pic.twitter.com/PxChcQ4PZ0 — Saren Stone 🌘 杰敏 (@fayren) March 20, 2020 Shipwrecked Revenant Second is a ‘Shipwrecked’ Revenant look, giving the Synthetic Nightmare an incredible underwater vibe. Coral protrudes from Revenant’s shoulders, with torn fishing nets and remnants of a pirate ship also conspicuous. Redditor ‘Cryophase‘ has created a skin that would look perfectly natural in a 100-year-old shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. Anubis Revenant Next up is another Revenant look, this time inspired by Egyptian mythology. Anubis was a a “jackal-headed god in Egyptian mythology who led the dead to judgment.” We can’t think of a more appropriate cosmetic skin for Revenant. Gridiron Bangalore It’s not just Revenant, though, as this awesome Bangalore look proves. U/LlamasRedditPink gives the Professional Soldier a gridiron-inspired overhaul, with thick armor. It suits her down to the ground. Casual Wraith Our penultimate skin is a Wraith one, overhauling her purple hair in favor of a vibrant red and throwing some thin white decoration on her dark overalls. It’s simple, but that’s sometimes the best. Samurai Revenant We’re rounding off this compilation with one of the coolest concepts we’ve seen – giving Revenant a deeply jarring Samurai look. Not only is the Synthetic Nightmare donning a traditional outfit and helmet, but the attention to detail in small skulls hanging off the bodice make this sketch incredible. U/Samuele_campo0 has created a skin that’s both awe-inspiring and terrifying in equal measure. That rounds off our favorite skin concepts from May of 2021. We – like many other Apex fans – would love to see the ability for fan-designed skins to make their way into Apex’s store, but that’s a fairly big ask. We can enjoy them regardless.

Best Apex legends skin concepts in March: Loba, Caustic, Wraith, more u/francisbrownGG/RespawnWith the amount of different characters in Apex Legends, the battle royale has plenty of material to inspire new cosmetic ideas and skin concepts. Here are some of the best from March 2021. Cosplaying and fan art have been incredibly popular in the Apex Legends community since the game came out back in 2019, with creative fans sharing all kinds of ideas. Here, we’ve gathered together some of the best skin concepts from March 2021, as fans continue to come up with new ideas for how their favorite Legends could be re-skinned. Loba has always been a hit with Apex players and was certainly a popular choice this month, with our first design featuring the High Society Thief in a skin from u/francisbrownGG, called “Beast Slayer,” that looks like it would’ve fit right in during Season 1 if she had been around. Next up is a skin from u/ABIBIBIBIBIBIABIGAIL that didn’t come with an official name, but one that fans have dubbed “Blue Gatorade” Caustic, and once you see it, it’ll quickly become apparent why. The Gladiator of Gas now has bright blue skin, and his tanks are filled with a questionable blue liquid that we don’t think would taste too much like a sports drink. His bright skin contrasts nicely with the white-and-black uniform, and would be fairly different from any of his other looks as well. If you wanted more Loba skins, you’re in luck! As Brazilian artist u/lsc_comics came up with an elegant idea based on raucous Carnaval celebrations. Red is definitely the color of the day here, and her gold headdress will make you feel like the life of the party while mowing down enemy players. Wraith was and continues to be one of Apex’s most popular legends and our next concept, from u/Martinsanuchiha, called “Ronin” is certainly different than anything else we’ve seen. The Interdimensional Skirmisher looks ready to carve up the competition with a fearsome, red face mask and matching armor that your victims wouldn’t forget. We’ve finally come to our last featured Loba skin for the month, but don’t worry, as it’s definitely a good one. There are already a couple of swashbuckling skins in Apex, but none for the fan-favorite support legend like this design from u/hellblazer1919s, which gives her a skull epaulet and a look that has already won over the entirety of the Apex subreddit. The end of our list for March features the one and only Revenant in a design by u/Alb3rt0_RG that’s definitely in the running for the most unique of the ideas we’ve seen so far. Intricate gold designs cover the red and white plating, with the killer robot looking like he belongs more in a Louis Vuitton store than the Apex Games. We’d still probably rock it during a match though. That’s it for our favorite Apex Legends skin concepts from March 2021! If anything, it goes to show just how much some talented fans really enjoy coming up with original ideas for their favorite game. Whether Respawn will ever add the ability for fans’ skins to make their way into Apex Legends remains to be seen, but the desire for such a possible feature and more great designs like these is clearly present in the community.

Best Apex Legends skin concepts in June: Wattson, Loba, Revenant, more Reddit: u/PaperScythe_MXR/Respawn[jwplayer cf8U9voE]With characters as unique as those featured in Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends, there is massive scope for creativity when it comes to concept skins and outfits. Here are some of the best ones from the past month. Cosplaying and artwork have been incredibly popular in the Apex Legends community since its launch back in 2019, with fans flexing their creative muscles and sharing their ideas. Here, we’ve rounded up the best of the best skin concepts from June, as fans brainstorm ideas for how their favorite Legends could be re-skinned. First up is this incredible Loba concept from u/Wolfdawgartcorner, which crosses the High Society Thief with Little Red Riding Hood, making a truly frightening skin. Many commented on its aesthetic similarity to Revenant, ironic given their hatred for one another in Apex Legends’ lore. Red – Loba skin concept – APEX#ApexLegends #fanart #conceptart pic.twitter.com/xzbX9Xi6Ni — WOLFDAWG ART (@WolfdawgArt) June 10, 2020 The next skin concept is another dark twist, this time focusing on the friendly robot Pathfinder. It’s a great subversion of his genial character, and makes for a dark, fatalistic skin. The creator – u/PaperScythe_MXR – even named it “Death Finder”, reflecting the morbid approach to the Forward Scout. Next up is another gruesome take, this time on the deathly Revenant. From artist u/’ThatpersonKyle’ , it is described as a “grim” take on the already gothic, skeletal legend. The skeleton is highlighted to a greater degree, complemented by deep blues in Revenant’s robes. Next up is a bee-inspired Wattson look, named the Honey Queen skin. From Wattson fan Hattori_Handsome, it makes use of gold and black stripes, even offering an alternate for her electric fences. Our final skin concept is of Gibraltar, the gentle giant who has forced his way into Apex Legends relevancy after a rough first year. Here, the aforementioned Redditor (Hattori_Handsome) gives Gibraltar a Japanese make-over, channeling a vivid red outfit and traditional kumadori stage make-up. That rounds off our favorite Apex Legends skin concepts from June! It just goes to show the lengths some talented fans will go to in order to engage with their favorite games. Whether Respawn will ever add the ability for fans’ skins to make their way into Apex Legends remains to be seen, but the appetite for such a feature is clearly present in the community.

Best Apex Legends skin concepts in July: Revenant, Mirage, Gibraltar Twitter: @fluffykratos983 / RespawnThe Apex Legends community has frequently proved itself as one of the most creative and artistic around. That reputation has simply been cemented by some incredible skin concepts from July, focusing on Revenant, Mirage and gentle-giant Gibby. Among the many reasons players have fallen in love with Apex Legends, the diverse, likeable, and charismatic characters are high on the list. The way look, act, and converse has gone down a treat with fans and inspires creativity as players recreate the legends in their own image. Here, we’ve gone through July’s efforts and picked some of our favorites, seeing Revenant, Mirage, and Gibraltar given awesome new looks. Mirage ‘van Gogh’ First up is a Mirage overhaul from u/LittleTickle66, seeing him styled in the vein of legendary dutch painter Vincent van Gogh. The bamboozling outfit incorporates many of van Gogh’s trademarks, like sunflowers up the sleeves and a starry night on a kneepad. Similarly, he’s dressed in scruffy overalls, with a bloody bandage around his head – an obvious reference to van Gogh cutting his ear off. It’s a remarkable skin and one we’d love to see added in the near future. ‘Nail biter’ Revenant The next skin on this list, from u/Wolfdawgartcorner, is a sharp and rusty Revenant. The skeletal assassin is recreated in near-robotic form, with many nails protruding from his body and head. There’s something deeply haunting and dystopian about this skin, going some way to explain why we love it so much. ‘Amazon River Dolphin’ Revenant This skin combines the dark and spider-like Revenant with the famous Amazon River Dolphin, in a crossover we didn’t know we needed. The artist – @fluffykratos983 on Twitter – explained that it came from a misunderstanding of the Brazilian myth surrounding the boto cor de rosa. We didn’t think pink overalls and pointed boots would suit Rev, but we’re more than happy to be proved wrong here. https://twitter.com/fluffykratos983/status/1417681429803188227?s=20 Crab Revenant In the next in the series of Revenant and water-animal crossovers we didn’t know we needed is this Crab Revenant crossover from u/Madismall_. A pointed head, shelled torso and thin claw-like arms make the assassin resonant of Aquaman’s enemy Black Manta. It’s a creepy yet awesome skin concept, with Revenant perfectly believable as a scuttling miscreant on Apex’s maps. Apex Predator Pilot Gibraltar Our fifth and final skin again comes from u/Wolfdawgartcorner, this time imagining gentle-giant Gibraltar as a pilot. Thick armor is paired with a helmet reminiscent of vikings, in a scary Gibraltar look that hides his genial nature from sight. That rounds off our favorite skin concepts from July! Whether Respawn ever add a feature that allows fan-made concepts into the game remains to be seen but, going off the quality of these ideas, we’d love to see it one day.

Best Apex Legends skin concepts in July: Loba, Revenant, Bloodhound, more Respawn/Reddit: SithArsenalApex Legends’ creative and colorful world was bound to inspire artwork, but community concepts have become a staple of the game’s fanbase. Here are some of the very best skin concepts from the past month. As has become customary in the Apex Legends community, fans of the Titanfall-inspired battle royale have been creating their own skin concepts for their favorite characters. We’ve already seen some incredible entries back in June, but these news skin concepts may trump even those. First up is this awesome Bloodhound rework from Klaux ConceptArt, shared to Reddit by u/BIENYY. It’s a snowy, vibrant take on the Technological Tracker, with some deep blues and reds to accompany the dominant white feathers. This skin is so good that even non-Bloodhound mains were advocating for its addition to the game. Whether the light color would make players an obvious target remains to be seen, but we’ll let Crypto mains argue this one. The second skin is another lighter twist, this time focusing on Loba. Redditor ‘SithArsenal’ explains that the skin is partially inspired by Riot Games’ League of Legends. It’s certainly got a fantasy element to it, adding some light blue magic to the High Society Thief. Next up is an Aztec inspired Revenant from Redditor ‘Hattori_Handsome‘, which perfectly combines its theme with the skeletal figure of the Season 4 legend. Equally terrifying and mystifying, this is a seriously dark twist on an already dark legend. If you saw this coming over the World’s Edge hill, you’d definitely turn and run. Finally, from u/ineedahopup, is an eccentric and philanthropic Crypto skin. It sticks to the white color scheme of his base outfit, but ditches the cloak for a white, feather jacket. Pair this with a bowler hat and heavy necklace, and Crypto has been given a truly unique makeover. Whether Respawn will add a mechanic for fan made skins to get into the game remains to be seen, but there is clearly an appetite for it among the community. Respawn, over to you.

Incredible Apex Legends skin concepts for Bangalore Bangalore is one of the original characters in Apex Legends, but after three seasons and countless updates, players still feel that she is missing a truly incredible legendary skin – so fans have made their own ideas. Bangalore is a ‘professional soldier’, born into a military family, and so far, Respawn has kept all her skins fairly militaristic. However, that changed with the new Fight or Fright event, where Bangalore has finally been given something a little more exotic. Bangalore’s Fight or Fright skin finally puts a more exciting look on the character.500 This skin is still linked to the event and the Halloween theme though, and so Bangalore mains are hoping that it’s a sign of more impressive cosmetics still to come. While they wait though, some of the more creative fans have made concepts for how Bangalore could look. The first, coming from artist Michał Sałata, keeps Bangalore in her military theme, but also gives her a more aggressive and streamlined look. Others have suggested that since Bangalore comes from an IMC background, she should get a military uniform to match. Respawn could even take inspiration from their own designs in Titanfall, with the female version of the IMC pilots. A classic IMC pilot skin for Bangalore?600 Respawn themselves are the creator of this next idea, from their own art for Bangalore. This image is part of the character’s lore, showing her when younger and fighting in the military, and her outfit here would make a perfect addition as a legendary skin. For a character that could really do with some improved skins, Bangalore fans will be hoping Respawn show some love for their military character in the next content update. After the ongoing Fight or Fright event, we can expect another mid-season event in Season 3, before Season 4 launches, where perhaps more cosmetic content will be added.

Best Apex Legends map locations that got destroyed Respawn EntertainmentApex Legends has an array of incredible POIs across World’s Edge, Kings Canyon, Storm Point, and Olympus, but some of the best have either disappeared or been destroyed. Over the years, the maps in Apex Legends have been overhauled and updated to keep the experience fresh for players while they’re battling in the Outlands. Unfortunately, that means certain POIs had to be replaced or destroyed to make way for new locations. Despite not being a part of the game, these past areas have become iconic spots within the community and are widely spoken about, with a lot of players calling on Respawn to bring them back. So, without further ado, let’s take a trip back in time and take a look at some of the best POIs that have been lost with time. 5. Cascades A truly old-school location, the original Cascades was only around for the first season of Apex Legends and was located just south of The Farm. This vibrant POI was packed with a set of small houses connected by wooden bridges, opening up opportunities for long-distance combat between squads. With it being only a Mid-tier loot location, it wasn’t the most popular spot on Kings Canyon, but there was always plenty of squads to make the opening of a match interesting. Cascades was destroyed in Season 2 with the construction of the ECHO outpost and although some players still mention its name, the majority seem to have forgotten that it ever existed. 4. Capitol City Back in Season 3, Capitol City was the hot drop spot on World’s Edge with countless players diving down into the urban landscape to get a taste of the action. Not much has changed nearly nine seasons later, with Fragment East and West still being unbelievably crowded with players at the start of a match. Although Fragment is incredibly similar to Capitol City, there was no fissure in the old location so it meant the chaotic gunfights were even more intense. However, as the overhauled Fragment is so popular and still incorporates a lot of the buildings that were part of Capitol City, it’s a POI that’s rarely mentioned or missed by the community. 3. Train Yard Made up of countless old train carriages stacked up on top of each other and a few suspended in the air, Train Yard was a POI that allowed players to thrive no matter what style of play they preferred. With potential sniper spots up above and enclosed spaces with big windows that made it hard to camp, the area encouraged players to hunt down their opponents or take a more tactical approach from above. Alongside the carriages was a huge factory-like building that was a perfect power position to hold down with your squad while the ring drew closer. However, after the Season 10 update, a seismic event destroyed the location and turned it into the Landslide POI we know today. 2. Sorting Factory Although Lava Siphon is a hugely popular POI in the current version of World’s Edge, a lot of players miss the action-packed experience that was a Sorting Factory drop back in the day. Not only was the expansive area filled with top-tier loot, but it also allowed for isolated gunfights between squads due to the huge extended factory building. With enclosed spaces for close-quarter combat and long sightlines for sniping, Sorting Factory was an exciting POI that was definitely slightly slower-paced than Lava Siphon. 1. Skull Town & Thunderdome Without a doubt, the most iconic POI in Apex Legends history is Skull Town and its sister location Thunderdome, which are praised by the community on a daily basis. Fast-paced, chaotic, and fun, Skull Town was a bloodbath in every Kings Canyon match before its removal in Season 5. The plus-shaped POI was made up of a four-lane area and contained multiple buildings and several levels to traverse. This made the area extremely fun to drop into and the giant skeleton that surrounded the town only added to the location’s epic visuals. Although Skull Town made a return with the original Kings Canyon in the Genesis Collection event for a short time, it’ll be interesting to see if Respawn decides to make the area a permanent POI again in a future update. So there you have it: those are our top five POIs that have been destroyed or have disappeared during map updates or overhauls in Apex Legends. It’s safe to say they’ll be more iconic locations to add to the list in the future and who knows, one of the above may even make a return. Make sure you follow @alphaINTEL for all the latest Apex Legends news and updates.

Best Apex Legends Halloween skin ideas: Octane, Revenant, more zimtdraws / FrostyPenHand / Respawn EntertainmentThe Apex Legends community have created exciting designs for Halloween versions of the battle royale cast, and here are some of the best from talented fans. Respawn Entertainment’s seasonal cosmetics have always been among the more beloved releases for the community. From the Monster Mashed Gibby skin to Deadly Byte Crypto, there have been some incredible Halloween designs from the studio. But Apex fans have also been contributing with their ideas to the pot for Legend designs that would be excellent entries in the game’s already impressive array for Halloween releases. Some of the community’s designs touch on all kinds of themes and inspirations. There’s traditional spooky takes, adorable renditions that borrow from the lore, and much more. Witch Doctor Revenant Kicking things off will be Reddit user ‘DoodleTeamLeader’s Witch Doctor Revenant design that attaches a ton of Halloween-inspired trinkets and details throughout every inch of the simulacrum. There are shrunken heads, skulls, a coffin that would launch the Silence device on the wrist, and a snake that wraps around the towering assassin’s neck. Nessy Watts-zilla To bleach our eyes with cuteness from that Revenant skin, ‘DhFanarts’ sized up Wattson in a Nessie doll outfit and made it look like she was terrorizing a city like Godzilla. Ever since the lore expansions in Apex, Nessie dolls and Wattson have been incredibly popular in the community and this immaculately combines the two for what would be a fan-favorite. https://twitter.com/DhFanarts/status/1301580678195277825 Purge Octane In almost a perfect adaptation for the ADrenaline Junkie, ‘FrostyPenHand’ created an Octane design that was directly inspired by the popular Purge franchise. The skin shows Octane in a simple hoodie with a spray can that could substitute for his Stim. His mask also reflects the dystopic images from the movie. Scarecrow Revenant Artist Mona ‘ZimTDraws’ built a concept for Revenant that uses his lanky frame for a twisted revision of a Scarecrow themed skin. The design covers the murderous robot in a giant cloak, hat, and tattered pants. It’s a design that really suits the Fall holiday. i kinda hope there’ll be a scarecrow-themed skin for Revenant 🎃 started this way back last halloween and then forgot abt it but it felt pretty good finishing it now !#ApexLegends #revenant #ApexLegendsfanart pic.twitter.com/W7OEqEcjiw — 🎩 Mona 🪄✨ (@monameiart) February 3, 2020 Frankenstein Wattson An artist that goes by ‘bohater13’ recreated Wattson in the theme of Frankenstein’s bride, turning the Static Defender into an electrified monster that calls back to classic Halloween monsters. The skin would really go well with the Legendary Gibby skin from the Fight or Fright Collection and could continue the trend of Legends redone in a classic movie monster themes. I saw this skin in a Youtube thumbnail around Halloween for Apex and got over the moon levels of excited. But alas we never got it & no news was made of it’s amazing creation. This creator made something amazing! I can only dream it will one day be in the game #ApexLegendsFanart pic.twitter.com/mvp8SVpsGU — Nkro (@NkroPrncss) April 19, 2020 Jigsaw Revenant If it hasn’t been clear up until now, people really want a Halloween skin for Revenant. The menacing bot is the embodiment of terror and that shines in this skin inspired by the Saw movie series. Revenant already has the skulking face that Billy, the iconic doll from the horror movies, can be seen with while riding his accompanying bike. The possibilities for unique voice lines with this skin are boundless. it’s never too early to start thinking about halloween so i drew revenant as jigsaw😳😳 @PlayApex @DarinDePaul #ApexLegends #Revenant #ApexLegendsFanart pic.twitter.com/iFIhLk18G0 — joy…ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ (@joylessswave) February 18, 2020 There’s a lot of hype for this year’s Halloween cosmetics and what Apex Legends skins could be included with them. For now though, these concept designs should hold people over while we wait for news on this year’s seasonal event.

Best Apex Legends Genesis event landing spots: Kings Canyon & World’s Edge Respawn EntertainmentKing’s Canyon and World’s Edge are getting put back on the Apex Legends menu for the Genesis Collection Event, and we’ve got some of the best landing spots for both maps listed right here to help you out. Apex players who have been around since day one are thrilled about the OG Kings Canyon and World’s Edge maps returning for the Genesis Collection Event on June 29. But for those who haven’t been playing since Seasons 0 or 3, the original versions of these maps might be just as foreign as a brand-new map. If you’ve never played on either, or you just need a refresher, we’ve got some of the best landing spots for both right here. Best original Kings Canyon landing spots Airbase Located on the west end of the map, Airbase is a good-sized location that’s packed with floor loot and supply crates that can even be found inside of the aircraft parked there. It’s not a place teams typically land, but when they do the abundance of weapons on offer at this location usually means you’ll have a decent chance of taking them out. Starting out at Airbase also gives you and your team easy rotation options to other nearby points of interest like Runoff and Skull Town. Thunderdome Also located on the west side of Kings Canyon, the infamous Thunderdome can actually be relatively quiet early on — despite the name — while holding enough loot to gear you and your squad up before you head into battle. Thunderdome is also directly beside Skull Town, which means you can gear up and head in there to take on the squads that picked that spot. Or you can skip this hot zone and head to Market to try and catch a team escaping from Skull Town unaware. Relay Relay is in the far north-eastern corner of the map, and is a sprawling compound jam-packed with supply crates and floor loot. Being out of the way means it isn’t on most rotation routes either, so unless the circle ends up here, Relay is a good bet to be a fairly quiet area. Players can grab weapons and gear up here before using the relaunch balloon on the outskirts of the compound to fly to Wetlands, Swamps, or even the Hydro Dam and join the fight. Kings Canyon areas to avoid A general rule of thumb for KC is that: the closer to the center of the map you get, the busier the landing zones will be. If you want to avoid a firefight right away, areas like Hydro Dam, Bunker, and Cascades are not your friends, as they’ll probably have a good number of players rushing there to try and get the best loot. Best original World’s Edge landing spots Refinery Located to the northeast of The Epicenter (another decent location to start out at), Refinery is the ideal location for those looking to get a good amount of loot without spending too long scavenging around. It’s a relatively small POI but comes packed with 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. The only drawback, if you could even call it that, is that it can be far away from some initial rings that start at the lower left quadrant of the map. But even then, it’s inland enough where traveling from Refinery to another area shouldn’t be too much of a hassle. The Train Yard The Train Yard is one of the more central locations on World’s Edge, but the cliffs located on its eastern and southern boundaries give it some decent protection from players leaking out from the other, more popular central POIs. It’s not too big, but still has 26 Supply Bins, a good amount of floor loot, and relatively high-tier gear, making it ideal for stacking your inventory quickly and early. Finally, the Train Yard is 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, where you can shoot down on unsuspecting enemy teams in Skyhook. Lava City Lava City is a great location to land at if you’re aiming for the lower right quadrant of the map. It’s not that hot of an LZ, so you won’t have too much risk of running into or fighting another team right when you land for the most part. It’s also not a large location by any means, so looting won’t take much time at all. There is potential for one or two pieces of high-tier loot to appear here, but the real appeal is how quiet it is, and how close it is to the very popular Sorting Factory POI, making it a great starting point for rotations.

Best Apex Legends controller layout settings to get an advantage Sony/RespawnAs Season 9 of Apex Legends is just around the corner, there are some controller layouts that can help to give you a leg up in certain situations. Valkyrie has just been revealed as the newest Legend, so you’ll need to make sure you’re running the best to keep up. Unlike other battle royales, Apex Legends is a game that has unique characters with even more unique abilities. To be a real Apex Predator and master them, though, you’ve got to brush up on weapon recoil, landing spots, and rotations. On top of that, top-tier players have ridiculous movement skills that make them hard to hit. For a large majority of these players, those movement skills are enhanced by the button layout they use – regardless of whether it’s through a keyboard and mouse or a controller. It comes courtesy of Reddit user xChallen6er, who has created the layout to make it easier for players to jump and crouch – rather than the two buttons being on opposite ends of the controller. Read More: How to get better aim – What the Redditor has done is move the sprint control to the right thumbstick and the jump to the left thumbstick – with the crouch control being moved to the left shoulder control (L1 on PlayStation, LB on Xbox.) Everything else is pretty much the same as typical controls – aiming being L2/LT and shooting being R2/RT. Though, one difference is that a character’s ultimate is X/A – making it slightly easier to use. As the player notes, it is a bit of a drastic change, and it would take some time to get used to if players decided to make the switch. It might not work everyone, as players are comfortable with different setups, but throwing sprint and jump so close together could work wonders if mastered. The ability to more easily spam crouch with the bumper button makes you a much harder target during a gunfight, while also allowing you to aim. Players with modified controllers with extra buttons can get around this by default, but this button layout helps players with just standard PlayStation or Xbox controllers.

Best Apex Legends skin concepts – Bangalore, Octane, Mirage and more Michal Salata / Respawn EntertainmentThe popular battle royale game, Apex Legends, features many unique playable characters with different abilities and fans have even designed their own skin concepts for their favorite in-game legends. There are currently nine unlocked characters in Apex Legends (with more to come) and they all have plenty of skin options to choose from, which players can either unlock with crafting materials or in Apex Packs. The skins can range from common to legendary, as they vary in different outfits styles and changes in color for each legend. With the latest announcements and trailers revealing the release of Apex Legends Season Two, it is expected that Respawn will also be adding new skins for players to buy (through Apex Packs or the store), and it is possible we may even see some fan-made skins added to the game. Here’s some of the best fan-made skin concepts for Apex Legends. Bloodhound There has been no shortage of skin concepts for this legend already including Terminator and Predator inspired designs but this design by u/SonaHarpLadyy might be the most accurate representation of a “Bloodhound” there can be, taking the character’s name literally with this incredible concept. Players feel that Bloodhound’s current legendary skins are somewhat lacking, however, the style of this new skin concept by “fragdar” has received nothing but praise since it was shared and would also be a great addition to the game. 600The final Bloodhound skin on the list is by u/blodhundur, this unique take on the legend also received a lot of love from Bloodhound mains and would be one of the more original skins if it was to be added in Apex Legends. 600Octane Octane is probably the most eccentric character in Apex Legends currently and this unusual dinosaur themed skin concept “Old Bones” by u/clarksabino fits the legend perfectly and could easily be a legendary skin. This new skin design titled “Dr. Octane” from u/siriuspetrovik portrays the popular legend as a doctor and many fans have welcomed the idea to see Octane sprinting around with a lab coat on. 600Mirage Mirage is one the characters who could also do with some more high tier legendary skins and this “Mirage in a box” skin concept by u/BobTheTankEngine could be just what this holographic trickster needs if done well. 600Bangalore Bangalore’s current skin offerings are much less exotic than some of the other legendary skins in the game, but this new look by u/catchthirtythree33 would certainly have Bangalore mains excited. In her right hand is a knife – which could perhaps be an heirloom similar to Wraith’s knife. This Bangalore skin concept by Michal Salata remains true to her original style as the professional soldier and is appropriately named ‘Bandziora’ as it features a yellow and black guerrilla style theme. 600Wraith These hooded and masked editions of the fan favorite legend Wraith by u/-s0et- are not too far off her base look, which makes it all the more likely that we could see some similar skins added to Apex Legends in future. With the release of Season 2 quickly approaching it is unlikely that any of these new skin concepts will be added, although many fans are hoping that Respawn will take inspiration from some of their designs for future releases. They have promised that cosmetics will be much improved for Season 2, but we’ll have to wait and see if they live up to that promise.

Best Apex Legends character skin concepts – Bangalore, Bloodhound, Mirage and more Apex Legends‘ unique take on the battle royale genre, with the addition of hero’s like Overwatch and Rainbow Six Siege, means fans can design their own skin concepts for their favorite legends. The eight initial Legends (with more to come) all have plenty of skin options to choose from, which players can either unlock with crafting materials or in Apex Packs. Ranging from common to legendary, these skins vary from simple color changes to entire outfit swaps, with new helmets and gear – and even hairstyles in the case of Wraith. As a free to play game, it’s expected that Respawn will be adding new skins for players to buy (through Apex Packs or the store), and fans are already giving the developers some inspiration. Here’s some of the best fan-made skin concepts for Apex Legends. Bangalore Bangalore’s current offering of skins aren’t quite as exotic as some of legendary skins for other characters, but this new look by u/catchthirtythree33 would certainly have Bangalore mains excited. In her right hand is a knife – which could perhaps be an heirloom similar to Wraith’s knife. Players still feel that the current legendary skins for Bangalore are seriously lacking, but Reddit users instantly fell in love with this design from concept artist, Michal Salata, which is appropriately named ‘Bandziora’ featuring a yellow and black guerrilla style theme. u/SonaHarpLadyyMirage This is a bit of a silly one, and almost certainly will never happen, but one Apex fan, @Loudwindow, thought that Mirage would look great in Tracer’s Overwatch gear. 800Pathfinder This one isn’t entirely fan-made – but there’s a good chance this Chappie concept for Pathfinder might actually make it into Apex Legends. Both Neil Bloomkamp and Respawn’s Vince Zampella said they would love for this to be added to the game. Octane Octane is the newest legend to be added to the game, arriving in the long-awaited season one battle pass, and fans have already begun to speculate what could lie beneath his mask. This concept by u/Lazulizard would allow players to remove his facial accessories for a cleaner look, showcasing a messy haircut with green highlights to match his attire. initially designed by their audience in the past.Hopefully, players who have stored a lot of material waiting for some slick new skins won’t be left disappointed by the next big release.

Basic Apex Legends tactics to help you win easy gunfights Respawn EntertainmentThe Arena in Apex Legends can be unforgiving for new players, but keeping some basic firefight tactics in mind can help to consistently edge out engagements for some easy kills. From the size of your weapon’s clip to the cooldowns your Legend currently has, there’s a ton to consider when the R-99’s start blazing. Navigating through the scene on the fly gives players a short window of time to make a decision. Thing is, these decisions are the ones that separate the Kill Leaders from the dashboarders. But there are some things that people can make into a habit that would actually make fights easier to win. “10 Kills in less than 3 minutes… If you time your engagements right, use doors to your advantage, and be aggressive against people that are weak and on the run, you can win some VERY easy fights,” user ‘Slimshade16’ explained. Slimshade16 highlighted a montage of their gameplay that showed them seamlessly integrating basics like isolating fights, lifting your fingers off the joystick/WASD keys to heal, and chasing down opponents to secure an elimination. A lot of players forget about their active advantages and disadvantages during a battle. Being at low health is a disadvantage; but being at low health, in a 1v1 against someone else who has low health and an empty gun, is an advantage. Reading the battlefield while it unfolds can give you more chances to find ways on how to best exploit the enemy team. “Just caught multiple people separated from their teammates. This led to some easy kills to unexpecting people,” Slimshade16 replied to reactions of the video. They brushed off the impressive feat of 10 kills in three minutes since the clip just shows people how to play with a collected and thought-out gameplan. Suppressing aggro, pushing on two teams, and healing up during the natural plateaus of a duel can quickly snowball. As more opponents get picked off, that’s just more resources that can feed your team. As far as battle royales go, Apex Legends doesn’t have the fastest or most intricate mobility across its gameplay. If you’re trying to win and there’s a sudden explosion of action, then slow down your actions and remember the basics to bag easy kills in the Arena.

Banned Apex Predator responds to cheating allegations from HisWattson Respawn EntertainmentFormer top-ranked Apex Predator Facilitatur has responded to cheating allegations from HisWattson that preceded him being banned from Apex Legends as he’s now bid farewell to the battle royale. The conversation around the top tier of Apex Legends’ ranked mode has been a hot one for a few years. Initially, Apex fans were annoyed that the system allowed players to reach the top rank within a few days and then sit there for the whole season without any decay or change. While that is still somewhat of an issue, cheaters are also represent big headache. Plenty have, in the past, gone unpunished as they’ve risen up the ranks and ruined the Ranked experience for many. Two years ago, Facilitatur and his duo Invulnerable rose up the ranks before being caught out for using cheats. Fast forward to now and Facilitatur has returned, once again reaching the mountain top of being the top-ranked Predator player. Facilitatur bids farewell to Apex Legends after ban However, Facilitatur was called out by HisWattson for a suspect clip where, as he looked to clean up a team, he seemed to snap onto an enemy behind a wall. As he left the room, there was, indeed, an enemy coming from behind the wall, but Facilitatur was seen off by the trio anyway. He has since been banned but just prior to that, he addressed HisWattson’s clip, claiming it was a moment of panic. “I open the door, I hear him moving next to me, I fucking panic shoot the gun – I have a smart trigger controller so it’s a click – I don’t have to click it hard, I tap it and it shoots,” he said. “So I shoot and the Loba comes around the corner, shoots at me, and then the guy thats on the knockdown is on the left side of me and fries me, he fucking fries me, destroys me. That’s what it was.” Facilitatur has since said his farewells to Apex as it appears he won’t be trying to make a return this time around. Plenty of Apex players have urged him to maybe find another game to grind on, but without using cheats this time around. Though, who knows what’ll happen.

Bangalore’s new Prestige skin in Apex Legends has a very broken Tactical bug Respawn/EARespawn Entertainment have confirmed that they’re looking into an issue with Bangalore’s new Prestige skin as Apex Legends fans have uncovered a pretty big problem with it. Just like every other battle royale game on the market, Respawn Entertainment have given fans an endless supply of cosmetics to get their hands on – both through free unlocks and having to shell out real money in the in-game store. The biggest new addition has come in the form of Prestige skins. These skins, which are on the same tier as heirlooms, have only been given out to a select group of legends so far, with Bangalore getting hers as a part of the new Gaiden event. Dubbed the ‘Apex Commander’ skin, Bangalore’s new mythic look works just like the others – you’ve got to complete a set number of challenges to unlock the alternative styles and a rare finisher to boot. Though, there is a problem with the skin already. Apex Legends players uncover Bangalore mythic skin bug The bug, which prevents players from getting a complete view of the screen, has been highlighted by a number of players – including the likes of Shiv. If you haven’t seen it, basically, if you use Bangalore’s Smoke Launcher tactical and then try to aim down sight of a weapon, your view may become blocked. In fact, it looks like you’re using Gibby’s gun shield, but without being able to see through it. Why this interaction occurs is pretty much anyone’s guess, but Respawn have confirmed, via their Trello board, that they’re looking into fixing it and should have things ironed out in a future update. Though, who knows exactly when that will be. As for now, if you want to avoid the bug, you’ll either have to use a different skin – which means you can’t flaunt your massive purchase – or avoid aiming down sight shortly after popping some smoke. Hopefully, though, it is fixed before long and Bang mains can go back to looking dipped out in their highly sought-after Apex Commander skins.
