The Bocek Bow is, usually, a very competent mid-range weapons, but with the Shatter Caps it restricts it to close-range only. If you had to choose only one hop-up, I’d say that this is the less useful of the two, but of course the Bocek Bow can be equipped with two hop-ups at o
Team compositions will be a big part of the Arenas game mode. You need to cooperate with your team and assign one another ideal roles. Lifeline and Gibraltar can act as decent healers and provide impromptu cover, while Valkyrie and Octane can provide movement options to the team, which might become necessary in select situati
[Dave Osei] I can say from the design perspective, we wanted to try something different for map updates. We had a trend earlier of just destroying maps for a map update, a Harvester coming down on World’s Edge and creating a lava crack, just dropping Skull Town off the map in Kings Canyon. So for Olympus, we wanted to go outside our box and try something new, adding something to my map, rather than taking away from the map or destroying an area. So this Infestation gives us another tool in our toolbox of how to change how we do map updates in the fut
[DK] Well, we don’t have plans quite honestly. We don’t believe in building a thing specifically for esports. I come from a company [Riot Games] that’s done things very differently. In the early days [Riot] didn’t get involved in esports for League of Legends until the community started running their own tournaments. I personally feel that’s a much better way to do it. Follow the lead of your players. Obviously we have very high hopes. We think Arenas is a very competitive, really cool mode. We’ve had these round nine games that go to Sudden Death, where we’re all shouting on Discord. So we do have very high hopes that it can be competitive mode. We haven’t made any fixed plans yet. We’ll see how players deal with it. We’ll see what the reception is and then we’ll support whatever players want to
Speaking of great defenses, Gibraltar is perhaps the best defensive legend in Apex Legends patch notes Legends . He takes less damage than other legends because of his passive, and his abilities are the perfect tools for establishing a defense and walling off enemies from specific areas. King’s Canyon is a very open map with lots of places for enemies to stake out and strike from far away. Gibraltar’s tactical Dome of Protection is the perfect answer to distant enemies , as it provides cover both for the incoming shots and for a quick geta
Revenant’s tactical ability Silence deals a small bit of damage and prevents enemies from using any abilities for a few seconds. This is especially useful against legends with combat-centric abilities, like Horizon, Fuse, and Gibraltar. Fellow players can interact with Revenant’s Death Totem, which will respawn them at the totem upon death with half health. On King’s Canyon, it’s extremely common to suddenly find oneself in the middle of an all-out multi-squad brawl – getting a second chance in those situations can easily overwhelm enem
This really is the essential hop-up for the Bocek Bow, and takes it from being a mildly frustrating weapon, to being a truly powerful one. You can quickly pop two shots into an enemy, and even if you miss the head they’ll still be low enough to warrant moving in to finish them
The Hemlok is often effective at poking an opponent and picking them off from relatively longer range. After being hobbled or flustered at a distance, players can swoop in and seal the deal by going in guns blazing with the R99. The two weapons are quite distinct from one another — which really makes this pairing w
The Havoc is one of those few weapons that can truly feels overpowered , which is why the Turbocharger is long gone. The instability of the Havoc’s first few rounds are the only thing balancing it out. It simply shreds, even at mid-range, in the right hands. And the size of its output keeps it more accurate than the L-Star’s blinding fireba
Lifeline is particularly useful on King’s Canyon for her unparalleled ability to support a team on her own. Even if the rest of the squad goes down in a sudden ambush, a smart lifeline can revive their teammates while continuing the fight and get them back to full health. Her tactical ability is very useful for a squad trying to recover after an assault, and her passive is easily the most useful in the game. However, be careful when using Lifeline’s ultimate on King’s Canyon specifica
King’s Canyon is full of points where areas and common paths merge together, which inevitably means lots of action. Grenades are great in team fights, particularly when the enemies are all bunched up together. This has been especially true since the addition of Fuse (who can carry twice the normal amount of grenades and throws them faster and more accurately), and the use of ordnance is becoming more of a factor in the g
As mentioned earlier, the Deadeye’s Tempo seriously speeds up the fire rate of the Bocek Bow, and you should use this. The Bocek Bow isn’t good at close range unless using the Shatter Caps, and even then most shotguns are more capable – it’s only there to be used when you have no other weapon capable of a close-range engagement, really, since it’s only barely better than a Mozambique . Deadeye’s Tempo, however, will allow you to shatter even the most robust of shields with only a couple of charged shots, always giving you the opportunity to slide in and begin using a faster-firing weapon, like the R-99 , to finish the
