How about that new Apex Legends map, eh? Season 3 has landed, and at last the Apex Games have been graced with the colourful sprawling landmass that is World's Edge. Larger and far more characterful than its predecessor, Kings Canyon, the new Season 3 map is filled with new named locations, new loot, and a great many players doing their best to learn the ins…

Apex Legends sure did sink its polished claws into us here in the office back in February; and none were as inescapably gripped as I, who spent the following months solidly diving down again and again upon Kings Canyon in search of guns, attachments, kills, wins, and above all, knowledge. I've spent hundreds of hours in-game collating the below Apex Legends tips and tricks on…

The ever-expanding arsenal of Apex Legends guns and weapons is probably the most interesting and diverse it's ever been thanks to the release of Season 3. With each gun you pick up from the ground, you're also adopting a unique set of stats, spray patterns, available attachments, and behaviours. There's quite a lot to wrap your head around when it comes to figuring out the…

A firm favourite in the hands of many an Apex Legends player, the G7 Scout is a sniper rifle for players who don't want to use a sniper rifle. Solid damage combined with a fast rate of fire enables you to use this weapon to great effect at pretty much any range you like - I've out-shotgunned enemies with this rifle, so believe me when…

The Wingman has always been one of the top-tier weapons in Apex Legends, despite receiving a nerf to its magazine size with the 1.1.1 update. Now that Season 3 has released, the Wingman's all-important Skullpiercer Hop Up has been removed; how much does this hurt the once top-tier pistol's position in the new meta? Our Apex Legends Wingman guide will solidify your understanding of this…

The Alternator has been on quite a journey through the Seasons, beginning as one of the worst full-auto weapons in the game, then being buffed to ludicrous degrees thanks to the Disruptor Rounds Hop Up - and now back to pretty much where it began in Season 3. But in skilled hands, it can still hold its own in a firefight, just like any other…

With Season 2, Respawn elevated one of the lowest rungs of the Apex weapons ladder, the RE-45, to towering heights with the incredibly powerful Disruptor Rounds Hop Up. With Season 3, that Hop Up has vanished, and with it the RE-45's brief time in the sun. But that doesn't mean it can't shred an opponent under the right circumstances. In the below Apex Legends RE-45…

Apex Legends' Hemlok/Hemlock Burst Assault Rifle is a high-damage Assault Rifle that, curiously, has always seemed to work better in single-shot mode than using its signature three-shot burst. But with Season 3's adjustments to both the gun's damage and its fire rate in the different modes, is that no longer the case? Our Apex Legends Hemlok guide will walk you through the various stats going…

The Longbow DMR was, in Season 2, the go-to sniper rifle of choice thanks to its buffed fire rate and very high damage - especially headshot damage. Now, despite Season 3 bringing us a larger and more horizontal map that should prove to be a sniper's playground, the Longbow's usefulness has dropped off slightly compared to other snipers such as the Scout and the new…

The L-Star EMG was Season 2's new addition to the Apex Legends weapons arsenal, and it's still 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…

Bloodhound has always been an asset to any team of Apex Legends characters, with a handy and unique selection of abilities all revolving around positional awareness and hunting down enemies. But with Season 3, Bloodhound now has competition in the other Recon-focused Legend, Crypto - so how useful is Bloodhound now? Of course, the answer is still "very" - so what better time to scroll…

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 3. 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…

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…

Apex Legends places a lot of emphasis on its wide array of guns and attachments, but just as much on its selection of Armor and Gear. Helmets, Body Shields, Backpacks, and Knockdown Shields are essential items to find across the new Season 3 map, World's Edge; and each type of Gear gives you a distinct and significant advantage for the rest of the game. Our…
