Apex Legends is a first-person shooter with a battle royale mode. The game is developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. The action takes place in the Titanfall universe, but instead of the titans, there are fictional characters.
There are people who play in the Battle Royale mode, but they do it not because of the rating and mastery of victories, but in order to have fun, for example, in Apex Legends there are very beautiful finishing touches of the enemy, this cheers up the finisher and makes the enemy very angry. The battle royale for the game was developed by the company Respawn, which previously made us a series of Titanfall games and Apex Legends is a little related to Titanfall, it was previously said that a new part of Titanfall will be released, but without the titans! But later it turned out that the game is called Apex Legends and there really are no titans here. From the general, for example, the players on the training map were able to find Nessie's toy, it was this toy that was encountered more than once in the Titanfall universe. On the map, 60 players are fighting at the same time, which are divided into 20 teams, 3 people per team. Before disembarking from the plane, you need to choose a character for which you have to play, while there should not be identical characters in the team. At the moment, there are 8 characters in the game, each with its own unique skill, each such Legend can heal, make air strikes, block attacks, and put enclosing domes:
BANGALORE - the character is suitable for beginners. Passive skill is an increase in speed when the enemy hits, if you are hit, then bangalore increases speed for a few seconds, this can save your life. Has a Q-skill - this is a charge of a smoke bomb, which well envelopes the required area of the map in thick smoke and hides the player for a while, this is enough to hide from the enemy. Ultimate skill is a grenade, which, when exploded, is covered with a scattering of missiles that explode and inflict a concussion with damage, can be used both in attack and defense.
BLADHOUND - specializes in tracking down the enemy, so his three skills are focused on finding and killing the enemy. The passive skill is to see the traces of opponents, the traces are different, they directly show what your opponent was doing: he ran, slid on the floor, performed any actions. Bloodhound's Q-skill allows you to highlight footprints, even if they lead behind a wall. It is good to use the skill when attacking a closed building. The ultimate skill makes the monitor screen black and white and allows the character to move at maximum speed, and the enemy's tracks are highlighted in bright red, which makes the character a real enemy hunter.
GIBRALTAR - this big man is able to protect not only himself, but also nearby characters, the passive skill creates a protective barrier near him while aiming, this gives an advantage during shootouts. Q-skill creates a protective dome around Gibraltar, through which no bullets or grenades fly. Often, Apex Legends players set up a canopy, get out of it and inflict damage on the enemy and come back at the right time, a very convenient thing. Ultimate skill - explodes a certain area around the character's thrown grenade, works almost like an ultimate skill of Bangalore.
CAUSTIC - this character can be unlocked when you earn local currency, Caustic can be unlocked for 750 Apex coins, and access to it will appear only when you have accumulated 12,000 legend points. This is a poisoner and he has poisonous techniques, but he is weak and does not live long, so more and more players are abandoning the character. The Q-skill allows Caustic to place a barrel of poison on the map, which explodes when the enemy approaches and poisons him, when poisoned, the enemy slows down and takes damage. Ultimate skill allows you to cover most of the area with poison. And the passive skill directly depends on the barrels, when the enemy fell into the poisonous cloud Caustic begins to see his silhouette.
LIFELINE is a healer in the game, she heals friends and resurrects allies. Passive skill: when Lifeline resurrects a comrade, an impenetrable shield forms around her, healing items are used a quarter faster. The Q-skill creates an assistant drone that heals the heroine and nearby characters. But there is a minus that the drone stands still and needs to be approached and it does not distinguish between allies and opponents, and heals everyone in a row. The ultimate skill drops a capsule with three random supplies on a certain area of the map, it can be weapons, medicines, armor, and any other kind of improvements.
MIRAGE - he is an illusionist, specializing in disguise. Can create a silhouette, and at this time hide from the fire. The Q-skill sends a copy of the Mirage to the specified area, the copy can run for a long time, but when it collides with an obstacle, it is destroyed. A convenient function, when you need to confuse the enemy, let a mirage go through the left corner, and go around on the right yourself. The ultimate skill makes the character invisible, this ability is only needed when it is necessary to escape from the battlefield, at this moment you cannot kill and heal, and to cancel the skill, when you need to fail, you will have to wait until the action time expires. The passive ability is activated when Mirage loses health and is knocked out, at which point the character becomes invisible for five seconds, which allows him to retreat to a safe place.
PATFINDER is a mobile character who covers distances the fastest. The passive skill allows the character to interact with the radars on the map, so that the players of your team can know the location of the next safe zone, this passive skill allows you to set up ambushes for opponents. The Q-skill throws the harpoon forward and if the harpoon gets hooked, the Pathfinder will quickly move to the attachment point, the harpoon can also be used to attack. Ultimate skill sets two standards on the map between which a cable, it is convenient to use for fast movement.
RAIF - when a girl is targeted, voices begin to speak, which allows you to escape from enemy damage or take an advantageous position for shooting. The Q-skill sends Wraith into the astral plane, for a while the character becomes not vulnerable to bullets, but you yourself cannot attack, the skill is well suited during shelling, but the enemy can also guess about your movement along the blue trail. Ultimate skill creates two portals through which any characters can move. With proper use, you can make escape routes for the whole team, but the distance between the portals is limited - 100 meters.
In Apex Legends there are a huge number of moments for surprise and disappointment, even after landing on the map you cannot find the first weapon, this does not mean that you will be killed in the near future, you can find a good cover and wait until the map is reduced, but in the right moment to find a weapon and finish off opponents. Apex is a good game, but it still lacks the personality of Overwatch characters and countless skins for playing Fortnite, so in the next updates we will see updates on characters and visual skins.
In the game I liked how the physics was worked out and how the maps were adapted for fast movements and jumps, this was done specifically for a dynamic game. Unlike the cartoonish awkwardness of Fortnite or crawling on the ground in PUBG in Apex Legends, movement at the ballet level, you have to run and make high supports, take off several meters, smoothly overcome walls, while not receiving damage from falls from high heights, continuing move like an athlete, like a ninja and end up making a beautiful headshot to the enemy (or maybe you will be fired upon during the flight), and at that time you enjoy what is happening on the monitor, in general, the dynamics are exciting, for which many Apex players fell in love Legends. In the game, every time you have to think over your tactics to win the team, you have to take risks that I have not previously taken in other games with the Battle Royal mode. You also have to take care of your comrades, to run through the airstrike, in order to save a teammate, you have to quickly run and escape along long corridors in order to avoid danger. You have to jump off high cliffs to present gifts to your opponents, even walking in standard mode, you can feel like a bully and have fun.
But no one likes direct collisions without skills because of poorly balanced weapons, the weapon gives off a lot and there are very few cartridges in the store, so you need to look for additions for the stability of the weapon, but even with proper balancing, you can desperately shoot at the target and not cause damage …
