There are essentially 5 different weapon types: Assault rifle, sniper/long-range rifle, handgun, submachine gun, and shotguns. As you can imagine a shotgun isn't a very good sniper rifle and a sniper rifle simply doesn't cut it in short-range fights. Learning each weapon's optimal range of effectiveness will improve your success in the vicious world of Apex and may even improve your First Person Shooter skills as a wh
The Hammerpoint Rounds for the Mozambique and P2020 were initially exciting prospects. Introduced alongside the highly overpowered Disruptor Rounds, the idea behind Hammerpoint Rounds was to lend some utility to what were otherwise practically useless and frequently ignored weap
It's safe to say season four has a lot of potential to right some wrongs of the previous season - and just as much potential to wrong some rights. What Respawn's going to do is anyone's guess, though the fans certainly have their own ideas on what worked and what didn't with season three. That said, here are five things we'd love to see in season four, as well as five things that Apex Legends is probably best off leaving beh
After reading this chapter, I changed a bunch of in-game settings. I reduced my controller sensitivity from 3 to 2. I also changed my field of view from 110 to 70. Ultimately, my aim became more accurate, even if my actual movements were slower and weir
What separates a bad player from an excellent one in Apex is their understanding of the movement mechanics in the game. Learning how to slide, crouch, jump or climb over walls can establish a clear and explicit gap in skill between your competit
On top of mastering each weapon, it is important you develop a comfort with each of the varying sights found in the game. A red dot sight is very different from a 2x ACOG scope. It is important you master how to use a red dot sight at short, mid and long-range firefights, as you may not be in a situation to possess a long-range scope. Being comfortable with every sight in the game will make you a force to be reckoned w
Respawn's done really well when it comes to rolling out awesome new characters to choose from, so hopes here are pretty high. Leaks and rumors abound, with one potential candidate being "Revenant," who might actually be the spooky game master of the Halloween Shadowfall event. Other possibilities include " Reckoner, " with an interesting set of shield-stealing and damaging abilities, and a mysterious newcomer referred to as "Lo
Beyond providing an alternative to Apex Legends' base gameplay, it'd make a great opportunity to explore the lore and story behind the Apex Legends collectibles games and its characters, and considering it takes place in the Titanfall universe , there's a lot for Respawn to play with in terms of id
The game hosts 12 unique legends each with their own individual abilities and skills. Each character has a varying style of optimal play and becoming familiar with your favorite character skills will improve your style of play dramatica
The idea of a robot impersonating an old-school cowboy sounds like the most ridiculous thing in the world. So, props should be given to Fallout: New Vegas for making such a ludicrous character one of the best parts of the overall experie
Persona 3 marked a turning point for a franchise that still had a long way to go before it could get away from the shadow of its origin series, Shin Megami Tensei . With the integration of social sim mechanics and a proper calendar of sorts, the game turned into something truly spectacular ind
In this chapter, Ninja offers tips on pimping a stream to make it seem more professional. Recently, TheGamer invited me to do some product reviews. With a green screen backdrop, a nice LED light and more desktop space due to a wireless mouse option, I felt so good about my setup that I'm now convinced I'm the next Ninja (have you seen the header image on this stor
This chapter is primarily about the role of deliberate practice in improvement. A major takeaway is to set goals while playing to improve specific skills. For instance, in order to become better with sniper rifles, a person should plan to spend an entire gaming session practicing only sniper rifle kills. (Note to self: "Stop being a potato" is NOT a good go
One of the best tools, specifically designed to help players to improve, in Apex is the versatile firing range mode. This is the training room equivalent for Apex and it is an extremely useful function to get used to the ins and outs of the g
SBMM needs to exist because if the top one percent of players spend more than 300 times as much time in the game than any player in the bottom 10 percent, then in a true random system, the low-tier players will consistently be matched in lobbies with these top one percent players who play the game 300 times as much as the no
He offers suggestions on how to act on stream, which essentially amounts to a heightened version of oneself: "Smile a little bigger, be a little louder, wave your arms a little wider." He highlights building a community, something I’ve inadvertently been doing anyway through my obsession with this g
