There’s a lot to learn about the Arenas game mode, and this guide focuses on the maps. There are five maps in total, three of which will be familiar to you, and two which are entirely new. Once you learn these maps inside and out, you’ll be able to more easily gain the upper hand in the Arenas game m

On paper, Valkyrie sounds overpowered . However, she’s got some pretty easy counters. For a start, she can’t use weapons while flying and can only use her Tactical. Secondly, her jetpack is loud . There’s no way you can sneak up on people when it’s engaged. On top of all that, she’s basically a clay pigeon when she’s soaring above the battlefield. While I’m sure there will be some amazing Valkyrie players, she’s a pretty tough hero to master. It’ll be interesting to see how she shakes up the g

Apex Legends has also spent some serious time introducing lore and adventures that are allowing users to feel a bit more invested in the game. Each one of the legends has a different power that also makes it that much more fun to give the game a try over and over again. Because there isn’t a ton of stories in these games, finding a way to take advantage of replayability is key and Apex Legends has certainly cracked that c

Golden Gardens is one of the favourite spots on Olympus for a showdown, so it makes sense that it appears in Arenas . Here we’ve got high ground, low ground, dozens of rooms and buildings, and plenty of space for different and flexible strateg

This is another map that has even ground, and not much in the way of buildings or vantage points, aside from the one in the centre. If the circle is closing on the centre, then that’s definitely where you want to be, but otherwise, this will be a difficult battleground and the game will likely be won by keeping optimal sightlines and being aggressive once an enemy is dow

Whilst he was working for the Syndicate, Revenant had a job to kill a man called Marcos. He did this brutally and cruelly in front of Marcos’s young daughter, which later became the origin story of fellow legend Loba. In the game, it is evident that there is a lot of hatred from Loba to Revenant for obvious reas

Revenant started off his life as a real man. He was an assassin for the Mercenary Syndicate which is a group of different mercenary groups that work together and organize the Apex Games. The Apex games are where the battle royale is set, pitting team against t

The only caveat of Death Totem is that users who “die” in shadow form will Get Source back to the Totem with 30 Health. It doesn’t help that “returning” to the Totem releases a red wisp that enemies can use to track the Totem’s locat

The circle surrounding the centre room doesn’t have much cover, and the lava limits your movement options as you manoeuvre around the map. Legends with movement-based abilities will thrive here, as they weave between what little cover there is swif

Artillery is an old classic. Kings Canyon ’s Artillery was a favourite spot to drop in the very first season of Apex Legends, and it still sees plenty of traffic. There are two large buildings in Artillery are a rear wall – these are all excellent vantage points, and will be very effective in spotting enem

The free-to-play online battle royale game Apex Legends is currently one of the most popular games of its genre. In the game, players choose which character to play as and these are known as legends. Then, the players battle it out in the Apex arena – the chosen battlefield that the game takes place

CRSED: F.O.A.D is one of those battle royales that runs under the radar but is one that should definitely be tried out on the Xbox. Officially dubbed Cuisine Royale Second Edition: Fulfillment of All Desires , it’s not a surprise that it goes by a condensed n

While you’re on the high ground this map will have some long lines of sight, making Marksman weapons and Snipers ideal. But there are also buildings on this map that will force you to focus on close-range combat. You need to adjust depending on where the rings closes, but you will have an advantage in this map if you are able to control space. You will have the advantage as long as the enemy has to approach you, and not the other way around. Focus on taking the ring, and make sure you have weapons suitable for both long and close-range com

Apex Legends Season 9: Legacy is finally live, and the servers are back online for those of you that were left burned by the downtime at launch. Valkyrie is live, thus we have a fresh batch of tips for her, and the most exciting addition to Apex Legends since launch is also live: the new Arenas game m

Fortnite stands out in part because of the many updates it receives. Developer Epic Games appears to always be looking to add new content and gameplay tweaks. It’s also one of the few that’s gotten an Xbox Series X/S upgr

While Respawn didn’t say anything specifically about buffs and nerfs, there was one massive change that we couldn’t help but notice during our preview of Legacy: Lifeline has been tweaked . Her medic drone no longer deploys a shield when reviving allies, allowing enemies to shoot your injured mate back to sleep. However, her Ultimate should give you more useful equipment from here on out with guaranteed upgrades inside. The healing rate of her drone has also been increa
