Apex Legends: 20 Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting

If you're familiar with the characters in Apex Legends, then you are familiar with the adrenaline junkie known as Octane. He's an energetic guy who happens to sport a pair of bionic legs due to him blowing them off with a grenade in the pursuit of a race track rec

Apex Legends divides its characters into types that allow players to understand at a glance what type of play style that character requires. Lifeline is a healer, so right off the bat players understand that if they choose her they play a vital part in helping their team surv

This can turn the tide in battle, and if you're smart about refreshing your shields, with Lifeline's quickness doing so you can create a great advantage for yourself. What good is a healer if they can't take care of themselves from time to t

While Fortnite has introduced vehicles in the game to make traversing the map easier, the vehicles have been met with criticism. There are some cool ideas, like the hamster ball that will be appearing soon, but ultimately the vehicles give a huge advantage that many have deemed unf

With Ash’s ultimate allowing her to cross long distances quickly, it gels well with Octane’s jump pad ability and Pathfinder's Tactical. These characters can constantly use their abilities to move and gain elevation over unsuspecting teams. Pathfinder's capability to grapple can allow him to gain great elevated positioning, perfect for players who love to use snip

She can do this by healing them with her abilities and allowing the team to retain their healing supplies, as well as giving them items via her Care Package ultimate. If you're skilled with a firearm you'll be the bringer of both life and de

Only sixteen players are dropped into each match for this game, and as they complete certain tasks, currency is awarded that can be used to get equipment or specific upgrades. Unfortunately, the game didn’t have the polish or originality that other battle royale games that came before it did, which led people to play this one less. It eventually went free-to-play and remains that

I get it - you're new to the game, and you don't know what weapon does what. So, naturally, you pick it up and fire off a few rounds to see what the baby can do. Please don't do this. Apex Legends places a huge emphasis on sound, and distant gunshots are a huge part of that. Needlessly firing off your gun not only wastes ammo, but it gives away your location to nearby enemy teams. Keep those bullets in that

Mela Lee might not be a voice actress you're immediately familiar with based purely on her name, but that doesn't mean you haven't heard her before. In addition to voicing everyone's favorite Apex Legends medic, Mela Lee recently took on the role of Jade in NetherRealm's Mortal Kombat

Dying Light: Bad Blood takes the mechanics and formula from Dying Light and applies them to a battle royale game. The spin on this one is that there are only 12 players. However, the environment is another obstacle that they’ll have to overcome to get on

If it wasn't for them being so callous, who knows if she would have committed herself to help those who were less fortunate? In a way, players should be thankful for her parents showing her right from wrong in the worst of w

Moving fast in Apex Legends is so important that players are quickly figuring out ways to move even just a little bit speedier than normal. It didn't take long for players to figure out that when you holster your weapon, movement speed goes up a little bit. Even though this increase might be pretty small, it still matt

When you hear this distinct sound, you know that someone's shield has been depleted. Once an enemy's shield is gone, they're extremely vulnerable. So listen hard for this sound, because when you hear it, it's time to strike. Coordinate with your team and let them know when you hear someone's shield shatter, and you'll really succeed. It's just one of many sounds to listen

A lot of new players like to play cautiously. Therefore, they will sidestep around a massive ledge and find a way safe way down rather than just jumping. There is absolutely no fall damage in this game, so you are free to jump from any height, including from the supply ships. It helps keep the game flowing, and it allows for quick escapes if you find yourself in trouble. Seriously, go against your instincts and don't be afraid to j
