Apex Legends' Fall: Respawn's Fault Or EA's Bad Practices?

Mirage isn't an only child which may come as surprise considering he has the personality and energy of one. He was the youngest of 4 boys and was the son of a brilliant engineering mother who has helped him throughout his entire l

On a recent day, a quick check on ten random popular Apex Legends Twitch streamers playing with different squad formations showed all but one playing on teams that had Pathfinders. Half were playing as Pathfinders themselves. Additionally, during the X Games Apex Legend s Invitational, which featured the best teams from around the world, almost every team in every game included a Pathfin

Unfortunately for him, his 3 brothers went missing during the Frontier Wars and he was left as the lone surviving child to his mother. Considering they weren't found deceased there's still a possible one if not all of them survived, but only time will t

Many people who try out Mirage love the fact that he can send out decoys of himself. It helps cause confusion and can give your team a serious upper-hand in firefights. A neat thing about the decoys that a good number of people may not know is that if an enemy shoots and hits one of them their location is immediately revealed to your t

With the announcement of the Iron Crown Packs, players seem to have hit their limit of consumer exploitation. As a limited-time event, players only have a small window to collect that cosmetics that they may want, of which there are 24.

Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters.
