Apex Legends: 20 Things We Wish We Knew Before Starting

It seems easy to imagine, then, that a random lobby would quickly become full of individual players who have all chosen the same one or two characters, knowing that these characters provide unmatched tactical advantages. And, going up against a lobby full of Wraiths and Pathfinders doesn’t seem like a fun prospect for someone playing a character like a Caustic, given that both Wraith’s phase and Pathfinder’s grapple make it easy for them to get away from Caustic's Nox


The voice of Bloodhound was a mystery for a long time and went hand in hand with the Apex Legends news Legends community trying to figure out their gender. This was all before Respawn Entertainment officially announced that Bloodhound was non-binary, which only added to the mystery box that was their charac


While not ideal for team play, coordinated teams can still use this noisiness to their advantage. A loud Bloodhound can provide a distraction to opposing teams, allowing the non-Bloodhound players to quickly pick off enemies as they reveal themsel


A few months ago, Respawn buffed Mirage’s Ultimate Ability by making him completely invisible during its use , as opposed to rendering the character’s outline while active as it had previously. As of Season 2, players also have the option to uncloak from the invisible state as they wish. These were all welcome chan


The fact that the Gun Shield can absorb extra damage in combat is huge, but unfortunately, few choose to exercise this advantage in combat. It takes a moment to materialize and once it’s done rendering, it’s extremely visible, even from far away. Pair this with the fact that players can only use it when aiming down sights, and it’s simply not effective in medium- or close-range gunfig


Talking in Norse anecdotes and having a raven companion isn't just an act, Bloodhound strongly believes in the Norse gods. They call on them to help guide them during a hunt and believe that the gods are the one who imbues them with their other-worldly tracking abilit


Enemies are very quiet even when landing from huge jumps, or when sliding. Obviously, wearing a headset will really help you hear this little audio cues, but even then, it's very easy for enemies to surprise you without you hearing a th


However, the potential benefits of an Epic or Legendary body shield may make it worth it as these shields, which sometimes appear in Lifeline’s package, provide 50 additional hit points over a regular white shi


The bigger concern is Mirage’s Psyche Out Tactical Ability, which allows the character to deploy a decoy. This once-useful skill became less useful in recent months as people who play the game frequently can easily tell a decoy from an actual Mirage character simply by the way it mo


While this characters’ benefits are fairly obvious from a team play perspective, the question lingers as to how useful this Ultimate, when paired with the character’s Tactical Ability to build strings of low-damage stun fences, would be for a solo pla


Speaking of which, when paired with a Bloodhound, that smoke becomes quite a handy tool. Bloodhound has two abilities to help him see in this situation. His Active ability will take a snapshot of enemies for the whole team to see, and his Ultimate will make the enemy glow red despite the smoky conditions, allowing him to gun down players like nobody’s busin


Allegra Clark is a voice actress who has appeared in numerous games over the years, most recently as Spider-Gwen in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. She, along with an audio modulator, gave life to Bloodhound's distinct shroud of a vo


Gibraltar already has one of the largest hitboxes in the game. This makes him much easier to hit than characters with smaller hitboxes, such as Wraith and Lifeline. Pair that with the fact that both his Gun Shield and Dome of Protection abilities give away his location, and it presents real challenges in competitive Solo p


If Bloodhound wasn't such a cool tracker and hunter, people might assume that they were a theater geek. Bloodhound can often be heard speaking as if they were Norse and were auditioning for a role in the next Thor movie in the Marvel Cinematic Unive


Every legend in the Apex Games has a type that puts them in a certain classification. These types give players a quick understanding of the type of play-style that best fits each specific legend. Bloodhound is a tracker which means they're best suited for aggressive players who like to chase down other teams or play


This is one of those good, all-around compositions that can be great for newcomers in particular . There's no real synergy to work with here, besides Bangalore and Gibraltar both having Ultimates that can severely limit an enemy's ability to move into an area . Thanks to his perks, Gibraltar can also opt for a smaller Dome of Protection with a lesser cooldown and deploy it more aggressiv
