Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that "it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri

In the trailer for season three, Octane can be seen leaping into The Geyser's titular feature to be swept up into the air, much like bouncing off of one of his jump pads. That depiction is just a little bit misleading concerning the actual results of doing t

There's a myriad of ways in which players can exercise 200 IQ strategies involving these characters. For example, a Wraith can place portals in storm zones, tricking lagging players to taking them right into Caustic traps. The Wraith can also set portals up in tricky locations such as caves or in multi-level buildings, placing gas at each side of the entrance and the exit and making it tough for opponents to move without getting gassed. The gas not only hinders visibility and damages enemies, but it slows them down. This gives the Caustic and Wraith team an easy opportunity to outplay their oppone

Cargo Bots take the place of the "flyers" that were in King's Canyon, dropping payloads of loot for those brave enough to give away their position by shooting them down. However, there's a little bit more to them that necessitates some explanat

The worst (or best, depending on your preference) part of leaving King's Canyon behind for a lot of players has to be the loss of Skulltown, the consistently hot drop location that promised a fight the moment your feet hit the ground. However, it certainly didn't take players long to find its equivalent in World's E

Unfortunately for him, his 3 brothers went missing during the Frontier Wars and he was left as the lone surviving child to his mother. Considering they weren't found deceased there's still a possible one if not all of them survived, but only time will t

This scene appears to take place in a plant lab. Interestingly, none of the other map areas show lifeforms beyond the characters. With no signs of life on the planet's natural terrain, t's possible this lab is a clue how the landscape may develop in the future. Should it be able to produce sustainable plant life that can withstand the map's harsh terrain, the arena may become lush as the season devel

On the surface, Mirage may look like a self-centered guy who only cares about himself. It turns out that he's quite thoughtful and his fear of his mother losing her only remaining child ate away at him constan

When you see a character like Mirage you automatically assume that his parents are either brilliantly intelligent and serious or completely absent from his life. It seems that Mirage's mother was super intelligent, but understood Mirage's personality and never forced him to suppress

If you've ever been to a bar and had a good experience with the bartender it was likely due to how outgoing and welcoming they were. The life of a bartender suited Mirage pretty well and it was exactly what he did before entering King's Canyon in hopes of competing in the Apex Ga

Many people who try out Mirage love the fact that he can send out decoys of himself. It helps cause confusion and can give your team a serious upper-hand in firefights. A neat thing about the decoys that a good number of people may not know is that if an enemy shoots and hits one of them their location is immediately revealed to your t

Even some of the more close-quarters oriented locales, like Capitol City, offer so much in the way of verticality that sniping from a rooftop perch is generally the go-to strategy. And that's completely overlooking the fact that the newest sniper weapon, the Charge Rifle, is absurdly overpowered as of right

It's quite ironic considering at first glance he comes off as a bit of a ditsy joker who's all performance and no substance. Since his mother is a brilliant engineer, Elliott grew up with technology and likely had a natural intelligence about him. Just because someone is carefree and outgoing doesn't mean they can't be intelligent and k

Ultimately, the best duos will be the characters that players are the most comfortable playing. Good teamwork skills and communication are vital, and choosing legends whose abilities complement one another can only help improve the chances of winn

But what would really bring the DLC to life is Clive Barker’s horrifying Pinhead as a Killer. With perks like teleportation, hooked chains, and illusion-based abilities, he’d make for a terrifying foe to chase down survivors in the Labyrinth realm. In fact Hellraiser’s lore would fit rather well with the Entity’s ambiti

Apex Legends ' third season makes up the PS5 game Mods's biggest batch of new content to date, definitively upping the ante with leading competitors like Fortnite . It features a new weapon, more loot, a new Legend, and perhaps most important of all, a brand new map to fight on. Entitled "World's Edge," this incredibly varied and dynamic locale features battlegrounds ranging from frozen cities to scorching lava flows within a stone's throw from one another. It's definitely a sight to
