Apex Legends Season 3 Trailer: New Map Breakdown

I’m a fan of those big brain strategies. But I worry that kissing Crypto means the Solace equivalent of Interpol will come knocking at my door and I’ll be indicted for aiding some cause I don’t even underst


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


Some people say that a team's reliance on the Pathfinder character is fine because every team can choose to have a Pathfinder on it, which makes it fair to all. This isn’t inherently wrong, but it's still problematic. The game is designed to allow different team compositions to have different tactical advantages when playing together. The fact that teams so frequently rely on Pathfinder signifies an imbalance in the meta at a fundamental le


Even some of the more close-quarters oriented locales, like Capitol City, offer so much in the way of verticality that sniping from a rooftop perch is generally the go-to strategy. And PS5 weapons that's completely overlooking the fact that the newest sniper weapon, the Charge Rifle, is absurdly overpowered as of right


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


However, leaving behind the familiar and comfortable confines of King's Canyon means learning the ins and outs of the map all over again. Thankfully, TheGamer 's here to help you get a head start on that. Keep scrolling to check out ten things you really ought to know before dropping in and taking on World's E


That said, if a player is confident in the team’s ability to aim and critically hit its opposition, getting as high as possible and taking advantage of environmental elements such as rock formations and plants that give cover is a strong way to counter a mountaintop camper. A Kraber is the ideal weapon in this situation, but both the Longbow with the Skullpiercer and the Triple Take with the Precision Choke are effective as w


One suggestion is that, due to the most recent hack, the Kings Canyon arena became so overrun with wildlife that it was no longer usable. This led one Redditor to speculate that Kings Canyon could return as a PvE map, as datamined game content suggests players will eventually be able to fight spide


On a recent day, a quick check on ten random popular Apex Legends Twitch streamers playing with different squad formations showed all but one playing on teams that had Pathfinders. Half were playing as Pathfinders themselves. Additionally, during the X Games Apex Legend s Invitational, which featured the best teams from around the world, almost every team in every game included a Pathfin


This might seem like a forgettable gimmick at first, but there's a lot more utility to the drone's ability to open doors than initially apparent. It's just a matter of getting a little creative with the opportunity when it's presen

The southern portion of the map in World's Edge is dotted with locations that host flows of lava, and yes, they will do damage if you decide to stand around in them. They aren't instantly lethal, however, and do surprisingly small amounts of damage over t


Whether you're looking to obsessively drop there every game, or avoid it like the second coming of the plague, that place is definitely the Capitol City. Though it's a bit more spread out, it's still densely packed with lootable buildings, most of them being multi-story skyscrapers that make for excellent sniper perc


Whether it’s through a new character with special abilities that counter Pathfinder, or the availability of grapple guns as loot items, there needs to be some way to give other characters the chance to be on effective footing with Pathfin


If a team has circle advantage in a later phase of the game, there’s rarely a reason to try to take on a high-ground opponent. Because the circle’s closure will require them to have to drop down and push toward the circle anyway, fighting them when they’re on more level terrain is the way to go. If an opposing team waits until the circle is closing to move from the high ground position, this is a great time for a Bangalore’s or a Gibraltar to use their ultimate. This can provide a major impediment as the team must now face a barrage of damage within the circle or risk getting caught in the area outside the circle, which rapidly depletes players’ hea


A sniper rifle was always a wonderful thing to have in King's Canyon, but in World's Edge, it's practically a necessity. The terrain outside of the more built-up and urbanized areas tends to be incredibly open with little cover, and a lot of the map's transition areas and choke points can be covered from a great dista
