Apex Legends: 10 Things We Wish We Knew Before Playing Season 3’s New Map

While any loot-centric battle royale title is bound to yield a few situations in which you’re poorly equipped (or outright weaponless) after the drop, it’s definitely a little out of hand with World’s Edge, and more than a few players are venting their frustrations after being forced to attend a gunfight with nothing but their fi

Perhaps even more than playing Dead by Daylight , its player base loves speculating about who the next survivors and killers will be to join in on the terrorizing fun that is sacrificing to, or escaping, the Entity. We recently had the opportunity to speak with Mathieu Côté, the game director for the game at Behavior Interactive, and he had some fascinating insight on how these characters are chosen, as well as why Scooby Doo and the Mystery Incorporated gang will likely never appear in the g

The kindest way to describe the current state of Apex Legends is that it has destroyed its own potential in its pending death by a thousand cuts. One indicator of a game’s popularity is its viewership numbers on Twitch , which tell a story of how interested people are in watching the game’s content. Although not representative exactly of the number of players in the game, we can see a steady decline over the past six mon

When the game first launched, PS5 Collectibles players were swarming over from all other titles, including the dominant Fortnite by Epic Games . Apex offered fans a pleasing aesthetic in that the design fuses concepts from the Titanfall ser

Shooting down Cargo Bots will occasionally yield a Vault Key, which is used to unlock them and claim their treasures. Three vaults are hidden away inside of underground tunnels and caves, and can be found just south of the Train Yard, due north from The Geyser, or a short jog west from Lava C

If levels truly are split, the game can come down to a situation where the end of the game depends on whether a player has full health or a Gold Knockdown Shield, which lengthens the amount of time they can take storm damage without dying. Further, a player playing as Wraith won’t take damage in the storm while phasing, and players in the character’s portals also don’t take damage while in it. These seemingly minor advantages can be the difference between a win and a l

Recently, EA set the morality bar lower than we ever expected when Kerry Hopkins, VP of EA’s legal and government affairs, defended the use of loot boxes to the UK Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media, and Sports Committee. Hopkins stated that «it’s like many other products that people enjoy in a healthy way, and like the element of surpri

Wraith is one of the more mysterious characters as her life story isn’t outwardly explained. Everyone knows that she was experimented on and has some crazy abilities. Little is known about her, but surprisingly a little bit about her life before she became a voidwalker came to light. Her real name is Renee Blasley, which is pretty vanilla and uninteresting. Renee isn’t a name you hear too often but is usually associated with older women. It will be neat to see if more of her previous life unfolds in the fut

On that note, Côté elaborated about one case that sits perfectly on a line that excludes him from making it into the game, at least for now, «Chucky for instance is comedy, much more than horror, but he’s still a horror icon. I don’t think he would fit as it, because he is too funny. The size is not a problem at all, we could do something, even the hooking we would make a way to make happen. That’s an example of likely just too far outside the genre to be us

In total, the pass provided only four new skins, and three of them were unlocked right away at level one. These skins had only the smallest of differences in their paint jobs, leaving most to wonder what the point was of releasing them in the first place. The rest of the items were bland, and in some cases, loot boxes, which frustrate players now more than ever as they do not know what they are receiving and are at the mercy of a random loot table select

I first asked Côté if he was familiar with Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law , to which he replied, «Yes, I am a huge fan!» For the unfamiliar, the animated show is a real treat to watch, and revolves around many classic Hanna-Barbera characters facing ridiculous legal woes. In an episode titled, «Shaggy Busted», Shaggy and Scooby run into trouble when an officer assumes that they are high on drugs, working the hippie vibe of the characters, and the gang needs to plead their innocence in co

When asked about this or franchises that seems impossible to implement, Côté states, «That’s a tough one, because the ones that I really want in are possible, but, the Xenomorph and even the Predator are really on that line, just past the line for use, but others would argue that they would be fine within the Dead by Daylight world, and that’s a long debate.» There is no doubt that some would argue in favor of such a character, but one would expect Dead by Daylight to stick to more traditional, horror-based properties rather than mixing with too much science fict
