Apex Legends

Fortnite: Battle Royale is, so far, the pinnacle of the decade-old battle royale game genre. It's no understatement to say that we haven't seen a game enter the mainstream in this way since Minecraft - but it's not the only battle royale out there, and the genre has never before seen such quantity nor such quality. We'll go over a handful of our favourite battle…

Summer. The heat age. Scorch season. Spring's hangover. It's the mid-point of the year and you know what that means. No, not "mojito time", Geoff, put those away. It's time we told you what the best games of the year are so far. There are quite a lot of them. Just look how many videogames have escaped from their developers in the past six months…

Mirage, the so-called Holographic Trickster of Apex Legends characters, is perhaps the most satisfying Legend to play as when things go right. When you pull off that perfectly timed bamboozle or distraction with your holographic decoys... Man, it feels great. What's more, there's a fair amount more utility to Mirage's abilities than you might think, particularly now that Season 2 is out. Our Apex Legends…

Caustic, despite his premium status as one of just three characters in Apex Legends who must be unlocked through Legend Tokens or Apex Coins, was always one of the most underperforming Legends in the game thanks to his bulky hitbox. But now with the release of Season 2, Caustic is much tankier and deadlier than he ever used to be, and there's no better time…

Gibraltar once was the subject of ridicule among the Apex Legends characters roster, thanks to his enormous hitbox, and despite his excellent and versatile array of abilities. But with the release of v1.1.1 and now Season 2, Gibraltar has received a substantial buff, and we're now likely to see a lot more of him in King's Canyon. Our Apex Legends Gibraltar guide will walk you…

Among the Apex Legends characters roster, Lifeline is commonly (and rightly) thought of as the healer or support class; but despite this, she has absolutely no trouble dishing out as much damage to her foes as anyone. There are some excellent reasons to play as Lifeline beyond offering a helping hand to your teammates, and our Apex Legends Lifeline guide is the perfect place to…

Since the release of Apex Legends, Wraith has been considered by many the strongest all-round character in the game, and it looks like this will continue to be the case heading into Season 2. A high skill ceiling with abilities that can be used to great effect both offensively and defensively, and a hitbox so small it can often seem like she dances between your…

Pathfinder may not look all that swift, but prepare to be flummoxed, because he is in fact one of the most mobile Apex Legends characters out there. Pathfinder's abilities, particularly his Grappling Hook, are extremely mobility- and momentum-focused, and greatly reward players who look for unexpected angles and wide flanks during fights. As possibly the character with the highest skill ceiling in the game, it's…

Bangalore has always been right up there with Wraith, Lifeline, and Octane at the top of most players' Apex legends character tier lists, and it looks like that will continue to be the case heading into Season 2. She's highly mobile, easy to learn, difficult to deal with, and comes equipped with a variety of versatile tools to help her team gain the upper hand…

Season 2 has arrived at last, and Octane, the high-speed daredevil released with Season 1, is no longer the newest Apex Legends character. But he's still a force to be reckoned with, able to run rings around other players and regenerate health passively over time. Our Apex Legends Octane guide will help you to better understand his abilities and the high- ahem, -octane playstyle you'll…

It's been a long time coming, but at last Season 2 of Apex Legends has dropped, bringing with it a truly colossal number of new features, quality of life changes, and balance adjustments. From the new Legend Wattson to the new L-Star weapon, from the new Battle Pass to the myriad map changes across Kings Canyon, there's a lot to talk about in this here…

Finding attachments for your weapons in Apex Legends has never been so important. Your guns have always only been as good as the attachments you give them, but with Season 2 and the release of two new Hop Ups and one new Extended Mag, attachments are a make-or-break thing in your matches. It can be a lot to keep track of, but fear not -…

Apex Legends, now into its second Season, sunk its claws in us here in the office upon its release; and none were as inescapably gripped as I, who spent the next month more or less solidly diving down again and again upon the same vibrant and characterful island of King's Canyon in search of guns, attachments, kills, and wins. Long story short, I've spent hundreds…

Apex Legends innovated and rethought several aspects of the battle royale genre, but one thing they decided to keep pretty much as-is, and that's what Respawn have called the Ring, which slowly contracts to smaller and smaller circles over the course of a match and damages those caught outside. With Season 2, many of the Ring's damage and timing stats have changed, so we thought…

In Apex Legends, the key to success and survival is picking the right tools for the task. You can only hold two guns at any given time, so you'll need to make sure your choices not only suit your playstyle and situation but also synergise well with one another. Updated for Season 2, our Apex Legends loadout guide will walk you through how to make…

In case you've been out of the loop on Apex Legends news recently, Season 2: Battle Charge has just dropped, and brought with it a number of very significant changes to the Apex Legends weapons roster as we know it. We've now got 21 guns currently on offer, each with their own quirks, stats, spray patterns, and attachments - and everyone's clamouring to figure out…

The L-Star EMG is the latest addition to the Apex Legends weapons arsenal, and it's a hell of a gun. Available only in airdrops like the [block id="651773" title="Apex Legends Kraber"] and [block id="651779" title="Apex Legends Mastiff"], the L-Star is capable of tearing players apart in milliseconds thanks to its extreme DPS - but its power comes at the price of overheating. Our Apex Legends…
