In the current state of the game, Wraith is easily one of its most valuable players. Her ability to quickly reposition using Into the Void, paired with a Dimensional Rift portal that allows her and other characters to travel longer distances in the blink of an eye, will also prove valuable in solo com
Whether it’s the result of having watched too many ghost hunting shows over the years or it’s simply an urge to do a deep dive into the game’s lore and its meta, the team at TheGamer felt it compelled to take a close look at the footage to figure out what, exactly, players are seeing — or not seeing — in these vid
Octane's real name isn't just a play on the high-octane type of stunts he loves to perform, it's a play on his real first name. Octavio Silva, more widely known as Octane is a legend of Latino descent and helps diversify the Apex Games in several w
Thankfully Octane has the passive ability to recover his health back over time which balances the use of the stim while also allowing him to always gain back his health despite a lack of first aid it
It’s fair to expect that non-Pathfinder solo players will use Pathfinder’s zip lines after the character has already laid them down. But, this is not always a strong strategy as the Pathfinder will frequently have an elevated line of sight that allows them shoot players who attempt to use these zip lines to ambush t
A big reason why Octane turned to extreme sports and adrenaline-pumping activities was due to him often getting bored and being unable to sit still. These types of behaviors have often been linked to ADHD, and instead of receiving medication from his parents, he turned to near-death experien
Speed hacking: We do currently have anti-speed hacking in Apex Legends, but it’s not being as effective as intended due to a bug that we believe we’ve identified and will be addressing in our next server update. Will provide ETA for it when I have it. Working to get it out A
But of course, being limited to two selections at a time, you’re inevitably going to have to make some tough calls as you’re ravenously vacuuming loot into your backpack. So which ones do you take into battle, and which ones get left in the dust? Knowing the answers to this question ahead of time can mean the difference between victory and def
It happens in most games - a particularly overzealous player sees some specks in the distance, Titanfall nostalgia pings their location to their teammates, and starts shooting at them with an assault rifle. This is probably the worst thing you could possibly do. Sure, if you have a sniper rifle, then go crazy, but otherwise leave them alone. It's not only a huge waste of ammo, but it gives away your position to them and the squads in the nearby vicinity. Try tracking inst
The Hot Zone is the initial area on the map with incredible loot. Naturally, teams flock to it in the hopes of obtaining high tier armor and weapons. And there's nothing worse than a new player going to it and getting downed in the first thirty seconds while their teammates are on the other side of the map. We understand that dropping there makes for a good learning experience, but if you want to train, play with friends and not with rand
That really is the summary, unfortunately. It's terribly inaccurate and leaves you with your pants around your ankles way more often than you should be comfortable with. Give this a hard pass as soon as something else comes up, but appreciate its limited charms if you really need
Additionally, the character’s zip line ultimate lets players reach areas of the map that others can’t reach. As in most shooter games, high ground is extremely advantageous, particularly for both hiding out of the view of players on the battlefield and for landing headshots on oppone
We have lots of other work going on behind the scenes and this remains high priority for us. We won’t be able to share many specifics of what we’re doing but we’ll strive to provide updates on progress for the things we can talk ab
Respawn has finally implemented a reporting feature for cheating and abusive players as well. People can report offending players either from the spectate view after dying or when viewing team Banner Cards in the Squad menu. Some bugs that have been squashed in the update include Pathfinder’s zipline failing to deploy when jumping, the ability to shoot while downed, and getting disconnected when unplugging a control
Octane may be all about the stunts, but it's rooted in understanding that everything great comes at a price. During a match in the Apex Games, he's able to inject himself with a stim that gives him exceptional speed but comes at the loss of losing a little bit of life. This is due to the idea that by injecting himself he's partially doing damage to hims
And while we're on the topic, you can absolutely interrupt an enemy's execution. Like I said, performing executions are very slow and they leave the player wide open for attack, so you might as well take advantage of the opportunity. But beware, attacking an enemy snaps them out of their attack animation, allowing them to defend themselves and/or perform counter attack against you. So you better make it count - a nice shotgun blast or two should do the tr
