Most of the people who compete in the Apex Games are doing it for pride, money, or fame. Caustic on the other hand simply is in it to further experiment and test out his new toxic gasses. His ongoing belief in using living subjects has entered the ultimate game stage of needing to see how it affects hum

The game's objective is to get wins, so it’s impossible to fault anyone for choosing to learn and play this character. The major problem is that Respawn Entertainment has developed a universe of interesting characters with unique abilities, but none of them can effectively counter a Pathfinder’s speed and height advanta

This recent controversy is problematic because it reeks of the manipulative practices we have seen from EA. These loot boxes are terrible for consumers, and rather than providing the items directly, encourage consumers to keep buying until they win the items they desire. These loot box mechanics are exactly what has governments up in arms as they seem to promote gambling to the target audience, which can range from underage youth to adu

There are few benefits from being exposed on lower ground, so if there’s a chance to push, the best bet is to push to take over the high-ground position rather than trying to take the fight from below. This may mean following the opponent’s zip line, having a team’s Pathfinder throw its own zip line or climbing on ledges as quickly — and stealthy — as possi

Frequently, near the end of the game, there’s no good way for a low-ground player to match an opposing team’s high ground position. This may be because the final circle formation leaves no way to match the opponent’s position without venturing into a high-damage storm, or that any means to reach the opponent is heavily guar

Upon taking the Razer Viper out of its box, I immediately fell in love. The lightweight mouse - coming in at a weight of 69g - feels durable enough to withstand frantic motion and heavy-handed clicking, while the comfortable side grips ensure that I won’t need to worry about my thumb accidentally sliding at an inopportune in-game mom

In most FPS games — and in battle royale-style games in particular — players who have the high ground have serious advantages. High ground positioning makes it easier to spot enemies, to block their shots using the jutting edge of the terrain and to more easily get headshots against oppone

A word of caution for those who might be ready to upgrade their setup. If you’ve never used professional esports-level gear like this before, there will be a bit of an adjustment period. The sensitivity and responsiveness of the Viper and Hunstman were unlike anything I’ve ever played on before, but soon became second nature. As long as you’re willing to put in the time to learn the ins-and-outs of your new gear, you’ll soon see just how advantageous Razer’s newest products can be in regards to your gamep

At present, playing as Pathfinder signifies an easier way to rack up kills and wins. Unfortunately, players will continue to do this until there’s some way for other characters to effectively compete with advanta

In gaming, "flanking" describes the process of using the terrain to exploit an enemy blindspot. Frequently, in Apex, this means traveling the perimeter of the circle to reach the opponent rather than taking a direct p

This option comes with a strong caveat, being that distance-sniping tactics aren’t always effective. It’s not uncommon to find someone who can deals 1000+ damage with no kills because they’re sniping halfway across the map and can do just enough damage to annoy opponents, but not enough to get knocks or kills. Balance whether it’s worth it to take a sniper distance fight that will also give away the squad’s position, and also consider that the high-ground opponent may have powerful sniper rifles as w

Most problematic was that the Battle Pass lacked the creative challenges seen in Fortnite , which make acquiring tiers quick and fun. This meant that, in Apex Legends , the only way to level up was to play the PS5 Game trailers over and over again with no specific plan in mind. The grind was real, the rewards were unappealing, so few bothered to continue as a res

From gaming PCs and laptops to accessories, Razer is one of the first brands that comes to mind when gamers are in need of anything video game gear-related. This is especially true when it comes to the competitive scene, with gamers doing everything they can to get a leg up on the competition. Razer is an easy go-to solution in this regard thanks to its relationships with professional esports players associated with Team Razer. Who wouldn’t want to try and elevate their gameplay by using the same gear as professional _ Counter-Strike: Global Offensive _ player, TACO (MIBR), or Evil Geniuses’ professional Dota 2 player, Arte

I also never knew how much the cable for a wired mouse could impact my movement and overall gameplay, but the Viper’s Speedflex Cable makes every movement feel fluid and natural. Even freshly out of the box, there was no real need to break in the cable or loosen it up. It honestly feels about as close to being a wireless mouse as it can get, without actually being wirel
