Apex Legends: How To Counter High-Ground Camping Tactics

There are no Supply Ships to be found and fought over in World's Edge, but they've been replaced with a cool new Supply Train that loops around the map. Landing on the train is a bit more challenging, but every bit as dangerous and chaotic as a Supply Ship land


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


For starters, there are several areas of the map that are impossible to reach without the help of a Pathfinder. Additionally, there are other areas of land that are accessible to non-Pathfinders only by using a redeploy balloon. And finally, there are also elevated areas that become impossible to reach without a Pathfinder in a small cir


The Longbow DMR fires a bit slower and does less damage on leg shots, though the G7 Scout saw a flat increase to damage done. The Hemlok does more damage but fires a bit slower, and the Mozambique was made to be more accurate. The L-Star took a damage nerf, but now has reduced recoil and comes standard with a Digital Threat sc


The key difference, however, is that during the "charge-up" period it emits a small laser that rapidly deals small amounts of damage, before dealing a big chunk with the main shot. It's an obvious telegraph, but has huge damage potential. It's excellent for counter-sniping, forcing enemies to either rapidly change positions or suffer crippling dam


But Pathfinder has become to Apex Legend s what the M6D Pistol was to Halo: Combat Evolved . Serious players who want kills and wins are essentially facing a handicap by choosing to play without a Pathfinder in the sq


In terms of gaming accessory priorities, it’s easy for headsets to take a backseat to a keyboard or mouse. But if you’re genuinely looking to gain an advantage over your competition - especially in a game like _ Apex Legends _ in which you need to listen for incoming footsteps - a solid headset is an absolute m


In most FPS games — and in battle royale-style games in particular — players who have the high ground have serious advantages. High ground positioning makes it easier to spot enemies, to block their shots using the jutting edge of the terrain and to more easily get headshots against oppone


TheGamer had a chance to check out a trifecta of Razer’s latest top-of-the line accessories - including the Razer Viper Gaming Mouse, Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition Keyboard, and Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset - and couldn’t have been happier with the quality and responsiveness that each peripheral provi


In gaming, "flanking" describes the process of using the terrain to exploit an enemy blindspot. Frequently, in Apex, this means traveling the perimeter of the circle to reach the opponent rather than taking a direct p


Most interesting is the brand new perk that has been slotted into the backpack, which causes the wearer to revive downed teammates with more shields and armor. This can make those risky revival situations much more tempting, and is amazing when paired with Lifeline's innate boost to revival sp


When you see a character like Mirage you automatically assume that his parents are either brilliantly intelligent and serious or completely absent from his life. It seems that Mirage's mother was super intelligent, but understood Mirage's personality and never forced him to suppress


A word of caution for those who might be ready to upgrade their setup. If you’ve never used professional esports-level gear like this before, there will be a bit of an adjustment period. The sensitivity and responsiveness of the Viper and Hunstman were unlike anything I’ve ever played on before, but soon became second nature. As long as you’re willing to put in the time to learn the ins-and-outs of your new gear, you’ll soon see just how advantageous Razer’s newest products can be in regards to your gamep

Whether it’s through a new character with special abilities that counter Pathfinder, or the availability of grapple guns as loot items, there needs to be some way to give other characters the chance to be on effective footing with Pathfin


The solution isn’t to nerf Pathfinder. It would seem unfair to negatively adjust a longtime character’s core abilities, especially when these abilities are so simple. Doing so would certainly cause backlash within the commun


The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset goes above and beyond to fill that need. The headset is the first gaming headset to introduce THX Spatial Audio, which aims to increase players’ in-Ps5 Game trailers awareness to have the upper hand on the playing field. With the Kraken, you’d have to try pretty darn hard to ignore the in-game surrounding environment. Approaching enemy footsteps come through clear as day. The audio control device that can be attached to the headset allows players to adjust game and chat audio on the fly, while also controlling the bass and THX spatial audio tog
