Apex Legends: The 10 Best Legends In Season 6, Ranked

What sets Warzone apart from other battle royale titles is its unique approach to weapons and equipment. Aside from being scattered around the map, players who earn enough credits can access Buy Zones to purchase advantages they can use in the match. For instance, these Buy Zones can let players access their personal multiplayer equipment they've set as their load

Update 9.1 also adds the new map, Paramo, which features an active volcano and flowing lava across the landscape. It's also partly procedurally generated, so the new PUBG map feels different every time you play. However, because of the ever-shifting nature of the map, it's located in a separate matchmaking pool called Seasonal Match. Wins here will not count towards your sta

Plus, the character designs across the board are very good. There's no titty armor or weeaboo nonsense – every character’s outfit and physical appearance fits their role, has good glance value, follows the classic silhouette test rule , and has a cohesiveness to it that fits in the context of the universe. It’s a game that draws you into its world based on the way the characters look, instead of yanking you out of it. That’s a hard thing to accomplish, especially when it comes to a PVP free-to-play game. It takes a lot of extra effort to not just try and appeal to the lowest common denominator like certain other games that are MOBAs made by Riot Games or shooters made by Hi-Res. A

His drone can now revive teammates at beacons which is incredible and lets players get their team back in the game at a much lower risk. He can also scan survey beacons instantaneously, which now Hazard hero reveal the location of the next ring in the ma

Sega and PlatinumGames marked the 10th anniversary of cult classics Bayonetta and Vanquish by offering players remastered versions of the two games. Bayonetta is one of few hack-and-slash titles ever to release outside of the Devil May Cry and God of War franchises. However, it's Vanquish that will make the collection appealing to third-person shooter f

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) popularized the battle royale format in gaming. Moreover, unlike usual deathmatch modes in games like Activision 's Call of Duty , PUBG 's map constantly evolves with new hazards, different environmental elements, and weapons scattered around the terr

Caustic fills a niche in Apex Legends that few of his counterparts can claim or accomplish. Whether you feel his gas canisters are easily avoidable or annoying death traps, everyone agrees that his zoning potential is almost unmatched. Smart Caustic mains can set up camp in specific areas and can cut off retreat points or flanking opportunities. If the circle ever happens to end in a confined area, Caustic is ready and willing to thrive in the gas, even at the cost of his friends and teamma

However, Apex's cast isn’t just head-and-shoulders above its competitors. Instead, it goes for the jugular of a personal favorite: Overwatch. The comparisons are impossible to not see. Chatter that dumps lore, signature voice lines, a MOBA-lite class system… the list goes on. But the thing is that not only is Apex clearly influenced by Overwatch, it's hellbent on improving on it. Every person on the design team of Apex went above and beyond the call of duty to deliver a game with characters that are, on both a conceptual and aesthetic level, more interesting than anything Blizzard could come up w

All these intermingling elements mean there's so much that could happen in just one 30-minute match. Moreover, these elements also mean there is a lot to look forward to even if players have to go and play the same mechanic over and o

Why have I thrown myself so hard at this game? Is it the mechanics? Well, for starters, yeah – they’re among the best I’ve ever touched in a shooter, but that’s not it. What about the visuals? Sure, they’re undeniably great, but there’s something more. And while I could sit here and talk about how smartly designed the maps are, or how good all the guns feel, or how the traversal tech is more interesting than its peers, it’s not necessarily the mechanics that have grabbed me as hard as one other major fa

Apex, on the other hand, doesn't really have the same problem. Look at the female characters alone – Wraith, Bangalore, and Lifeline. Only one of them is wearing a body suit, and considering her character (stealthy interdimensional assassin-y lady,) it fits. The other two women wear clothing that makes sense for both their respective roles on the battlefield and their lore, with Bangalore’s fatigues making sense considering her military upbringing and Lifeline’s breathable top and cargo pants fitting with her role as a combat medic, as well as being more casual than something somebody from her wealthy upbringing might wear. On top of their outfits, each woman looks different. Different body types and heights and faces help to give them differentiating factors beyond outfit colors and hairstyles. While I’d like more diversity in terms of female body types and eventually other ethnicities, it’s a pretty bang-up st
