Mirage is from Solace, which is the planet in which the Apex Games take place. He grew up and eventually worked in Solace City as a bartender and it seems he didn’t learn about the Apex Games taking place in King’s Canyon until he was much ol

But Pathfinder has become to Apex Legend s what the M6D Pistol was to Halo: Combat Evolved . Serious players who want kills and wins are essentially facing a handicap by choosing to play without a Pathfinder in the sq

In our review for Cougar’s gaming accessories , we said that their keyboard, mouse, and headphone combo was the best bang for your buck you’ll ever find for quality gaming peripherals. For under $200, Cougar offers a quality mouse (which I’m still using today) a mechanical keyboard, and an incredible pair of headphones all with fully customizable RGB lig

Apex Legends began with great promise, but its overall disregard for its consumer base started with bland cosmetic rewards and is currently represented by manipulative loot box mechanics. The progression tends to make one imagine their primary concern is getting as much money from their players as possible, rather than providing a quality experience and earning revenue through grateful play

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

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

He bar-tended in Solace City at a place called Paradise Lounge. It’s there where he heard about the Apex Games from his patrons and his interest quickly grew. Once his mother gave him the green light he was off to the ra

It’s unclear if Mirage has ever been off-planet, but it seems his ignorance to things happening on the same planet as him shows that he isn’t exactly cultured or concerned with things happening outside of his immediate vicin

The sticky suction cup on the Bunker products is strong, but on the Bunker S in particular, I had some issues since it is load-bearing. It can really only stick to a totally flat surface like the back of a monitor or a smooth computer tower. I at first attempted to stick it to the side of my Ikea desk, which is flat but slightly textured with faux wood grain, and it wouldn’t hold. I then stuck it to my lightly orange peel textured wall, and it held better, but it would still lose grip occasionally. Now, it’s on the back of my monitor and I’ve had no probl

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

According to this logic, loot boxes are beloved for the surprise mechanics they provide, and not for the items within. It is this kind of ridiculous spin that drives consumers away, but EA does not seem capable of learning their lesson on the matter, or, rather, they choose to ignore the calls for cha

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 PS5 Weapons a l

Many of the legends in Apex Legends have powers and abilities that are easily explained by the idea of futuristic technology and/or medical advancements. Wraith is one of the characters that goes fully in on the science fiction elements of the Titanfall universe and turns the dial to eleven. An animated short titled ‘Voidwalker’ exploring Wraith’s time in a lab was recently released and provided more info on the mysterious stealth and traversal expert. Let’s look at 10 little known facts about the shadow of Apex Legends , Wra

I also got to try out the massive Neon X 31.5 inch gaming mouse pad. I found it to be not only the best big mouse pad I’ve tried, but it’s also wrapped with, you guessed it, customizable RGB lights! The mousepad is 4mm thick and spill-resistant (water just pools up in little drops on it; it’s pretty cool), and the stitched lighting border makes it look fancy as all get out. You can set all of these devices to match a color or set them on a strobing rainbow if you just can’t get enough pretty lights in your l
