Apex Legends has finally launched on Nintendo Switch along with the big juicy 1.6 update, which changes a lot about the game as you know it right now. Legend and weapon balance changes were obvious, and anyone following the news should know about Caustic’s takeover and the Chaos Theory event - but even more exciting than that is the new Heat Shield item, the Survival Slot, and a bunch more new additions and adjustme
In addition to that is the new Survival Slot. This new bag slot gives you a permanent place to keep a Mobile Respawn Beacon, or a Heat Shield, meaning there’s no reason for at least one member of your team not to have one. This should mean that both of these items see a lot of use in the future, and I welcome this cha
The Sentinel is a bolt-loaded sniper rifle in this free-to-play shooter that players have grown to love, which is why it can only be found in high-tier loot areas. It does some wicked headshot damage, but its body damage is a bit low compared to others on this l
You will rarely be able to freely choose between the care package weapons, but these weapons are obviously designed to be better than the other weapons in their classes. I can rarely get those precious Kraber headshots, honestly, but a headshot from the Kraber guarantees a knockdown, regardless of which legend, helmet, and shield your opponent is running with. Beautiful. Hitting those close-range hipfire shots is also incredible, in a pi
Maggie, Fuse’s former friend, current rival, is back and causing more havoc with the Apex Legends walkthrough Games. This time, instead of blowing the place up, she’s launch the Ring Fury Escalation Event. What happens here is that small pockets of "the ring" will pop up all over the map, and will continually expand, meaning that your movements will have to be much more erratic than usual when navigating the landsc
The end game can be brutal, especially when it lands you in an open area with limited cover. However, Rampart's Amped Cover changes this as it provides a wall to protect you from your opponent's bull
Not only does it block bullets, but it amps up your own from your best loadout by increasing your damage by 20% when you shoot through the top screen. You can deploy up to five covers at a time, making it so you can create your own protected corner by laying them down side by s
Caustic can lay down up to six Nox Gas Traps, which can be triggered by either shooting it or having an opponent trigger it by walking within range. This stuff is deadly as it not only deals damage but also slows your opponents as well, which is something everyone should know before their first ju
Players that investigate the new Water Treatment will be able to empty the gas and toxic waste from the building, revealing hidden golden loot. Very helpful in the fight ahead, but it may become a deadly battlegro
When this weapon is charged it will always crack your opponent's shield, leaving them open for your teammates to finish them off. It is one of the faster snipers to shoot, but you will want to stay at long-range with this weapon in order to enhance your in-game experien
When a meltdown destroyed the facility that housed their engineer parents, a young Bloodhound was adopted by their uncle Artur and taught the Old Ways. While the Old Ways rejected modern technology in place of a love for nature, Bloodhound was always fascinated with modern developments. The fusion of traditional hunting methods with modern gadgetry became their focus as a hunter, transforming them into the Outlands’ best game hun
This has been a standard part of other battle royale games for a long time, so I’m happy to see it finally come to Apex Legends. Usually when you try to join a game solo and you don’t get any teammates, it’s a nightmare, but now you can choose to do that on purpose. If you want to see if you and a friend can win a Trios game as just a pair, or if you want to take on a whole lobby by yourself, now you
Perhaps the most important ability in Bloodhound’s kit, Tracker (Passive) allows players to detect even the subtlest clues in the battlefield and get information about how it can affect their immediate situation in the battle royale. When used properly, Bloodhound can get the jump on enemies even before their opponents realize it - an ability extremely useful with a fast-paced weapon such as an Apex Legends S
Wraith can use her Tactical Ability called Into the Void to evade enemies or even move at faster speeds, which is why she is one of the best characters in the game . It helps to fake them out as all they can see is a blue blur and attempt to follow
The R-301 has always been the king. It has an incredibly low amount of recoil, allowing you to aim it at long ranges, and when paired with an Anvil Receiver it becomes an excellent single-fire weapon too. The Flatline offers a bit more of a kick than the R-301, but otherwise is a similar weapon, with extra damage out
