Everyone loves a good soirée, and Apex Legends is throwing one of the fanciest soirées you can find in video games. Of course this one also involves a lot of guns and people being shot in the face, which is probably a bit atypical when it comes to soir�


Epic Games has been hard at work in 2019 using their truckloads of Fortnite money to bolster their own platform and attract users away from Valve’s platform, Steam . To do so, Epic has engaged in the practice of signing developers to exclusivity agreements, a move that has brought controversy each time it happ


The explanation blew up in their faces shortly after and #GameFreakLied trended on Twitter as some dataminers claimed that most 3D models in the game was identical to that of the previous game. There were other issues to come that would anger fans of the franchise, and all of Game Freak’s troubles in the matter can be traced to their lack of communication, or long-range sniper tips in this case as many still feel, deception and outright l


Revenant's Silence is a tactical ability that allows the character to prevent an enemy from using their abilities for ten seconds. For example, if revenant hits Gibraltar with the Silence then the character is unable to use his ultimate or his bubble shield for ten seconds. This makes the defense powerhouse a sitting duck for your team to pick away at. Be aware that this ability does not restrict the use of passives in the game but only any of the many tactical abilities in the game. Silence also affects Revenant's own tactical abilities so be wise when casting this skill during matc

Ziplines are always tricky, despite allowing you to traverse great distances. Most importantly, it is very difficult to aim while riding a zipline, and you’re perfectly lined up for the enemy. Additionally, the entire zipline wobbles. This further signals players who might not even notice you at first. So, there will frequently be occasions to turn around and hop, in order to go backwards. This method can be spammed while moving forward. This is useful to be preventive, but especially when you’re under fire. Jump, catch onto the zipline again, and swiftly repeat. But once you near the end of the zipline, quit, because it will automatically reverse your direction instead of continuing forw
