Once you choose a submachine gun then you also need to know how to use this type of weapon effectively, even though not using it the right way can make for some amazing memes . First, you should understand that this weapon is primarily for close-range fights and it is just an added perk when they can hit medium-range sh
The Triple Take is not only a great sniper rifle, but also works as an impromptu shotgun at close range thanks to the wide spray of its three bullets when hipfiring. The Charge Rifle meanwhile offers a more user-friendly approach to sniper rifles thanks to no bullet drop, and easy, small amounts of damage just for vaguely aiming over enemies from a dista
Apex Legends has finally launched on Nintendo Switch along with the big juicy 1.6 update, which changes a lot about the game as you know it right now. Legend and weapon balance changes were obvious, and anyone following the news should know about Caustic’s takeover and the Chaos Theory event – but even more exciting than that is the new Heat Shield item, the Survival Slot, and a bunch more new additions and adjustme
If you want to feel like a supervillain while playing Apex Legends , then Caustic is the legend for you. Caustic specialises in dragging the enemy team down to their knees, and a well-timed ambush with Caustic and a solid team will make for some very swift squad wi
Lifeline may be easy to use, but that doesn’t mean you should play her without thinking. A good Lifeline player will be able to keep the entire team standing and fighting, while a bad one will leave the team to die alone. If you follow the tips in this guide, you will be one of the good Lifelines, so just read below for everything you need to know to play as Lifeline in Apex Lege
Oh, and does it need to be said? Those rooms in the Bunker, and the Loot Vaults on World’s Edge are both excellent places to trap people as Caustic, and then throw in the gas grenade to finish them
You will rarely be able to freely choose between the care package weapons, but these weapons are obviously designed to be better than the other weapons in their classes. I can rarely get those precious Kraber headshots, honestly, but a headshot from the Kraber guarantees a knockdown, regardless of which legend, helmet, and shield your opponent is running with. Beautiful. Hitting those close-range hipfire shots is also incredible, in a pi
When reviving a teammate Lifeline’s drone will put up an invincible shield for as long as the revive persists. This is great and has always been present, but at some point Respawn added the ability for Lifeline to use the drone to revive a teammate, and she can continue acting. This means she can weave in and out of the shield to keep back opponents, heal behind it, or even go to revive another teammate – although once the drone is in use elsewhere, you can’t use it for a revive until the other revive has finis
The R-99 is a beast, and that’s why it was a care package weapon for a while back there. If you can handle the extreme recoil and fast fire rate, it is a killer and an amazing weapon to wield. The Volt , meanwhile, has a fairly swift fire rate and a low amount of recoil, making it a great energy weapon to replace the Havoc if you can’t handle the charge time. The Alternator is just fine, but without the Disruptor Rounds hop up from many seasons ago it won’t become anyone’s main wea
The other cons to this weapon include its slow rate of fire and the fact that it feels more like a pistol despite it being a fully-automatic weapon. It does make up for it with amazing hipfire so if you must use this gun at the end game just make sure to stay light on your feet if you want to get good at the ga
The Chaos Theory Collection Event has begun, and if you’re an experienced Apex Legends player you know exactly what that means. There are loads of unique skins for legends and weapon alike available to trade your Apex Legends DLC Coins for, and if you buy them all, you get the Bangalore heirloom. Heirlooms are rare so this is a nice offer, but hardly the most essential. If you’re a new player and tempted to invest in Apex Legends, you’re better off looking at buying the battle p
The Volt SMG is the only submachine gun that uses energy ammo , and that definitely works against it. It can be difficult to find this ammo as you sift through ground loot, and without ammo, your weapon is basically usel
The Mastiff is having pellet damage decreased from 13 to 11, and fire rate increased from 1.0 to 1.1. This is a slight nerf, but not one the average player should notice. Makes sense, as it has consistently been the best shotgun in the game for a wh
It has a five-round-burst that is great for medium range, although it is also fully-automatic for close-range fights. However, make sure to conserve your ammo as it comes with specialty heavy ammo that cannot be replenished by ground l
