This chapter is primarily about the role of deliberate practice in improvement. A major takeaway is to set goals while playing to improve specific skills. For instance, in order to become better with sniper rifles, a person should plan to spend an entire gaming session practicing only sniper rifle kills. (Note to self: "Stop being a potato" is NOT a good go

Apex Legends is one of many in the Battle Royale trend, but it has truly found its stride. After establishing refreshing traits like the ping system and faster gameplay, there has been a satisfying increase in content over time. EA has similarly improved Battlefront II in this way. Respawn even started off the new year with an event that cycles multiple Limited-Time Modes every two d

Connor is one of the most iconic androids of all time. He is arguably the best protagonist in Detroit: Become Human, as he is more fleshed out than the other characters in the series. This detective investigates numerous cases featuring deviant androids, with players deciding whether he strays from his programming or decides to follow what his creators

Guardian Stalkers are some of the scariest enemies in video game history. To this day, the sinister theme of these robots sends shivers down the spine of any adventurer unlucky enough to draw their attent

Another master of intel, Bloodhound feels like he should be higher on the list for how fun he is on World’s Edge. Yet, his scan isn’t always viable if the distance is too great between teams. This happens often in wide-open areas between drop hubs and in city fights where the distance between buildings, or even between the top and bottom floor of the high ri

But back then, your duo partner was limited to whoever was around. You might play with your siblings because you'd get grounded if you didn't let them join you. Or, you could find yourself playing with the smelly kid from school only because his button smashing tactics got you further than you could ever get on your

This section is dedicated to in-game tactics to improve gameplay. He covers aim optimization and movement strategies, as well as more basic concepts like high-ground advantages and peeking tactics. Clearly, every one of my random squad mates read this chapter, as they love to drop in the elevated platforms at Train Yard and do nothing but peek until someone one-shot knocks them with a Longbow from across the

Every fight relies heavily on getting the high ground in World’s Edge, making champions that can move a team or distract the enemy higher candidates for success. Similarly, movement through the open areas is a consideration for any team looking to survive into the last few circles. To succeed in the current season, team mobility (and a steady hand) reign supreme in Apex Legen

Many people will celebrate Valentine’s Day with new loves or longtime partners, while others will lament the fact that they can’t get a date at all. But in my experience, finding a date for Valentine’s Day is a feat far less difficult than finding the perfect duo part

You can revive them on your end, rather than fend off the chaos. This is also a great way to help out teammates that might otherwise bleed out from the Ring. If they’re out of health, they can still crawl through Wraith’s portal to survive even lon

The sheer number of decisions players can make as Connor is mind-blowing, leading to some tense moments as players try to play the game the way they want without any compromises. Regardless of the trajectory they choose for Connor, he'll stand out as one of the best video game robots that players can cont

Although Lifeline heals more quickly, including downed teammates, her shield is a beacon to the enemy. It signals a squad to push on you, because two-thirds of your team is occupied. However, these characteristics can be used to your advantage in a pinch. Firstly, you can use the whirring sound of D.O.C. as bait to suggest that you need healing when you don’t. The same goes for Lifeline’s shield, luring the enemy to attack, when you’re actually ready to defend. But trickiest of all, you can use Lifeline’s shield as a literal shield in close-quarters combat. Begin to revive a teammate just while the enemy is shooting, then release and fire back. Repeat as necessary, and it might just save you. These tactics are especially handy when both teammates are d

He impresses the importance of strategy and communication, including how to deal with teammates in high-pressure, heated moments. In those cases, Ninja suggests listening carefully to your teammates and learning from their perspectives as well. He does NOT suggest raging at them for blocking the door while you were trying to escape an enemy — not that I know anything about t
