15 Things Only Expert Knew About Apex Legends (And 10 Mistakes New Players Commonly Make)

Bloodhound is unique because they are the only Legend class system with another living companion by their side. The raven that can often be seen perched on Bloodhound's arm goes by the name of Arthur. This is most likely inspired by, and a nod to the ravens that do recon for Odin in Norse mythol

When people first hear about Apex Legends , they most likely assume it's a game about characters shooting guns, and though that isn't an incorrect assumption, Respawn Entertainment has crafted a gameplay experience with a lot more depth than that. A primary example of that depth is the healer legend Lifel

And then there’s Wraith, whose ability to phase essentially makes her temporarily immune to both bullet and storm damage. Wraith also appeared as part of every team in almost every game at the ESPN EXP Invitational, as did Wattson, due to her ability to abate enemies with her traps and restore shields with her ultimate abil

Apex Legends has a balanced and satisfying spread of weapons, providing more than enough options to keep things fun and varied, but without going overboard and overwhelming us with sheer volume. The gunplay itself is slick, smooth and fast-paced, being more than a little reminiscent of Titanfall ’s enjoyable shooting mechan

It almost seems as though each character was designed with solo play in mind, given that the only character with an ability that’s no longer useful at all in a Solos Mode is Lifeline. Though Lifeline will no longer be able to leverage the ability to quickly revive teammates, she still has a fast heal as part of her passive, which is extremely helpful as a solo pla

Firstly, you can bash down doors. Since players often use them as cover or as crude "alarm" systems when camping, there are obvious applications here. Next, it's a great way to get past knockdown shields, saving you valuable ammunition. It's also worth noting that you can perform flying kicks while airborne, and uppercuts while sliding. Though being honest, both are pretty impracti

When you read about Lifeline's personal story and journey from the daughter of war profiteers to being a world-class healer and contributing member of the Frontier Corps, you scratch your head as to why she's in the Apex Ga

Eradicating duplicates is just one of the for-the-player quality of life improvements Apex Legends offers. When starting a match, there's virtually no load time, nor is there a lobby waiting area. Players get into matches almost immediately. During gameplay players can mark and highlight enemies, loot, or any point of interest on the map (a version of the marking system from Rainbow Six Siege mixed with enemy marking from Battlefield ) for very welcome in-game intel sharing/communication. When picking up mods and armor, items are automatically equipped where they should be instantaneously and there's already ammo in the weapon. Every thing a player would want or imagine should happen with fundamental game mechanics, simply does in Apex Legends and it just goes to show how other shooters and battle royale games are missing out on some key featu

It's clear that the game is generating an enormous audience, and as such, more and more people are flocking to it. But this isn't like most games. Yes, it has a tutorial, but that is very brief and hardly goes into the mechanics and complexities of the game, its controls, and its various strategies. This obviously results in many ignorant players, many of whom could probably be better players if they knew the intricate mechanics of the game rather than just the base contr

The Hot Zone is the initial area on the map with incredible loot. Naturally, teams flock to it in the hopes of obtaining high tier armor and weapons. And there's nothing worse than a new player going to it and getting downed in the first thirty seconds while their teammates are on the other side of the map. We understand that dropping there makes for a good learning experience, but if you want to train, play with friends and not with rand

However, a Solos Mode is a curiosity in this game, given that the game has its genesis in team play. Team compositions seem designed to balance one another out (if not always effectively), allowing players to combine their characters’ unique skills to become champions of the arena. The goal in having multiple characters is that there is some variance on the battlefield, which is something that’s in jeopardy in a Solos M

Talking in Norse anecdotes and having a raven companion isn't just an act, Bloodhound strongly believes in the Norse gods. They call on them to help guide them during a hunt and believe that the gods are the one who imbues them with their other-worldly tracking abilit

Funny enough, this is going to be an entry on a list ranking facts about Bloodhound that simply states there is very little known about them. It's a fact letting you know there aren't many facts out there. Unlike every other character in Apex Legends , no one knows Bloodhound's name, age, or location of ori
