[DK] I will say it's interesting that you can choose your weapons freely, particularly for characters like Rampart who have a strong binding to a weapon class, right? If you play Rampart in the Battle Royale, sometimes the RNG will just screw you and you never see an LMG. And you're like, 'well, I guess I don't have a passive this game.' In Arenas if you want to load in and buy a Spitfire every round, more power to you, have

R-301 Carbine (Assault Rifle): The quintessential AR of the game is a practical choice for Bangalore mains, especially considering how its decent handling and firing rate make it practical for almost any ranged setup. This is useful for Bangalore who wants to transition between attacking enemies from afar and then confusing them with a smokescreen before going into me

Then, when starting another match, it is very possible that players that were champions in the previous ones will be the champion at the start of the match. This means that their player banner will appear all over the map and they will be a target. The game rewards highly to the player who takes out the champion. Fans agree that despite this, it would be in Octane's nature to gloat about how his speed helped him

The sheer tactical potential of Rolling Thunder fits weapon specialist Bangalore . With this Ultimate, Bangalore can direct rows of explosive missiles in front of a flare she will deploy. These missiles explode after six seconds, with each explosion dealing 40 damage and temporary slowing targ

Apex Legends: Legacy goes live on May 4, with World’s Edge and Olympus next up in the Battle Royale map rotation . We spoke to Respawn about apex legends legends guide Legends: Legacy and the reasoning behind all the changes - check our interview out at that l

Apex Legends is a free-to-play online battle royale where players across the world get to face off in the Apex arena. Season by season, fans have pledged their loyalty to their favorite legends (the characters gamers play as). One legend that is very popular among players is Octavio Silva, who is better known as Oct

While its damage output isn't enough to score eliminations, Rolling Thunder shines in strategic implementation. Remember, Bangalore's Smoke Launcher (Tactical) already gives her access to a handy smoke grenade. With Rolling Thunder added into the mix, Bangalore can flush enemies out of open hiding areas or lure enemies into flanking teammates. After all, a measly 40 damage will hurt if it's a bunch of missiles going off at o

Wraith’s increased portal size makes her more valuable to her team in Olympus, as it now has more options for positioning. Portals are a great way to initiate a quick team rotation or reposition without risking the team. Unlike Pathfinder’s ultimate, teammates using Wraith’s portal do not take damage while phas

Newcastle’s revive ability allows players to direct downed players to a safer area and lead to a safe revive; however, this is difficult to pull off in close-quarter engagements and is easier for long-ranged fights. Owning a gold knockdown shield will make players going for risky revives worth it due to the increased health and shie

Some players try to outrun Octane. This almost always ends in an amusing but predictable result, as no one can outrun Octane. However, his speed can be his downfall as certain savvy players have figured out they can hide from him and he would be running so fast he would go straight past them. As with all legends, Octane's effectiveness is down to how the player chooses to use

[DK] Yes, of course. I mean, that's a thing we have to keep in mind. But we are taking some steps to make sure our loot pool doesn't get too bloated. For instance, there was a limited-time mode earlier this year called Locked And Loaded where all white loot was removed from the ground, but it had some long term balancing problems that we're not okay with. But we are taking steps toward that state. In Legacy you will see everybody starts with a starter kit, so a white armour, white knockdown shield, white helmet, two cells, two syringes. It's really good, by the way, it just feels like you can land and you don't immediately lose if the enemy finds a purple armour and you find nothing. This will allow us to remove white helmets etc. from the loot pool. We have further work going into future seasons where we're hopeful that, if we can pull it off, we can remove even more. And obviously we are always rotating hop-ups out of the game as we put new ones

It's sort of fitting that Horizon is one of the best legends on Olympus as the map and the legend were both introduced right at the same time. Horizon is a legend whose tactical ability Gravity Lift is just as perfect for navigating the wide-open areas as it is for getting up to heights that dot the map. Her ultimate Black Hole is perfect for indoor situations and offers a lot of synergy with other legend's ultima

On paper, Valkyrie sounds overpowered . However, she’s got some pretty easy counters. For a start, she can’t use weapons while flying and can only use her Tactical. Secondly, her jetpack is loud . There’s no way you can sneak up on people when it’s engaged. On top of all that, she’s basically a clay pigeon when she’s soaring above the battlefield. While I’m sure there will be some amazing Valkyrie players, she’s a pretty tough hero to master. It’ll be interesting to see how she shakes up the g
