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

Lector’s perks could be a boost in speed after each Hook, each kill would grant him permanent bonuses, and something Obsession based. The survivor would easily be Clarice Starling who could have perks that make her the Obsession and thrive at solo survi

With no way to counter the zip line, a person who has low ground has to take a low-ground, long distance fight or wait for the Pathfinder to come down. The latter becomes unlikely, though, when the character is in an advantageous posit

Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact

There’s a myriad of ways in which players can exercise 200 IQ strategies involving these characters. For example, a Wraith can place portals in storm zones, tricking lagging players to taking them right into Caustic traps. The Wraith can also set portals up in tricky locations such as caves or in multi-level buildings, placing gas at each side of the entrance and the exit and making it tough for opponents to move without getting gassed. The gas not only hinders visibility and damages enemies, but it slows them down. This gives the Caustic and Wraith team an easy opportunity to outplay their oppone

The magic of this duo is that Crypto’s abilities are most useful if used while he’s hidden. His drone allows him to see over distances while he remains stationary. On the other hand, Pathfinder excels in getting around the map quickly. So, if Crypto uses his drone to spot another team in a building nearby, a Pathfinder can zipline them both to the top of that building quickly before the opposing team has a chance to gather their bearing and assert a defense. With the high ground advantage, the Pathfinder and Crypto team can then take the fi

Whether you’re looking to obsessively drop there every game, PS5 reviews 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

For starters, there are several areas of the map that are impossible to reach without the help of a Pathfinder. Additionally, there are other areas of land that are accessible to non-Pathfinders only by using a redeploy balloon. And finally, there are also elevated areas that become impossible to reach without a Pathfinder in a small cir

While Digital Threat optics alleviate some of these issues, Bloodhound’s Tactical and Ultimate offer far more guarantees that players can understand what’s happening in these situations. The character’s sonar and detection abilities each let the Bloodhound player see through smoke. This becomes a serious tactical advantage as Bangalore can use the smoke to obscure enemies’ sight, while Bloodhound can see right through this while the enemies struggle to gain their bearings. These overlapping tactics mean these two are a strong pair when playing toget

But what would really bring the DLC to life is Clive Barker’s horrifying Pinhead as a Killer. With perks like teleportation, hooked chains, and illusion-based abilities, he’d make for a terrifying foe to chase down survivors in the Labyrinth realm. In fact Hellraiser’s lore would fit rather well with the Entity’s ambiti

Perhaps there’s no real better to play as these characters except for the fact that they’re funny as a pair. One of Mirage’s voice lines has him saying, “I hope I don’t have to play with that smiling robot,” before he says he’s just kidding. This is an obvious reference to Pathfinder and seems to imply they’re a sort of default frenemy duo. These characters are comic relief, and their pairing seems to be conducive to a buddy comedy a la Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumb

Shotguns, sniper rifles and pistols like the Wingman are great for taking out zombies in one shot. But near the end of the game, players may find themselves having to take on two, three or even more Shadow Legends at once. Because these undead Legends have very low health, a spray-and-pray weapon such as an SMG can be effective for spamming bullets and taking down several enemies in a short amount of t
