Because there are so many advantages to an elevated map position, players should generally seek to have the high ground as much as possible and should have guns that work well at the right distance for the situation. There are exceptions, such as when playing as trap characters such as Caustic and Wattson, but even with those characters, many would argue that high ground advantage is superior to setting traps in enclosed spa

Squads put on the defensive often hole up inside of buildings to recharge or force attacking teams into choke points. Using the drone allows you to open up doors and allow for opportunities for sniping or grenades without putting any squadmates at risk, or pinpoint entries that they aren’t actively defend

However, in cases where this is simply not possible, find cover and try to anticipate opponents’ moves. The majority of time, due to the circle constraints or simply the desire to take down their opponents before the final circle ends the game, they’ll drop from the high-ground position. Be ready for it and take advantage of the situation by having shotguns on h

Today, we’re returning to look at some more Cougar products, but this time, we’re stepping off the beaten path to look at a product line you won’t find on every gamer’s desk. Cougar is nothing if not innovators, and their line of Bunker gaming accessories: the Bunker RGB, Bunker S RGB, and Bunker M RGB, are the kind of sleeper products that solve problems you didn’t realize you had. As an added benefit, the bunker products also all have full RGB control, so my desk is starting to look like some kind of Dubstep laser light show, and I couldn’t be happier about it. Let’s get into these Bunker produ

Crypto’s ultimate skill, the EMP Blast, has the potential to be one of the most powerful in the game when utilized correctly. Used while piloting the drone, it stuns enemies, deals fifty damage to shields, and it destroys traps laid by Caustic or Wattson over a pretty generous area of eff

Finally, one of the most impressive features of the keyboard is its onboard memory, allowing players to activate up to five of their keyboard configurations while on-the-go. This can also be achieved via cloud storage, but a localized memory at least allows for offline p

If possible, coordinate with squadmates to make sure team members don’t arrive to fight the opposing squad one by one, making each player an easy target for a series of consecutive 3v1s, all in the opposing team’s favor. Teams will often have a player standing lookout to spot teammates from specific directions, and sometimes players throw traps if they know the terrain has limited access points, such as a Wattson fence at the end of the zip line that gets a character to the mountain area. Anticipate this, and be prepared to engage in zip line hopping tactics or try to use the traps the squad’s advantage. For instance, a team member playing as Caustic is immune to the damage effects of enemy Caustic gas traps and can still see players through them, so a player playing as Caustic can set off the enemy trap and leverage the low visibility to their advant

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

You’ll also be able to easily tell which areas have been picked over and which ones haven’t. This can save you a lot of time sifting through useless junk if your squad is in need of upgrades, or perhaps even better, save your squad a fight they’re not prepared for if another team’s already looting an a

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

If a team has circle advantage in a later phase of the PS5 Game Performance, 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

As of this writing, there really doesn’t seem to be an equivalent to these locations in World’s Edge. Some of this might have to do with players still figuring out the map and spreading out over a wide variety of drop locations, but it also seems like squads rotate much faster than they used to, likely due to the relative scarcity of loot in the new
