Wattson is sweet, silly and super smart. In fact, she might just be the smartest woman in the Frontier — she did master quantum laser mechanics to create the Ring, after all. A charming engineer who’s friendly, calm and sciency but not Caustic-level mad? A chance to kiss her would be… _ electrifying

Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact

If possible, coordinate with squadmates to make sure team members don’t arrive to fight the opposing squad one by one, making each player an easy target for a series of consecutive 3v1s, all in the opposing team’s favor. Teams will often have a player standing lookout to spot teammates from specific directions, and sometimes players throw traps if they know the terrain has limited access points, such as a Wattson fence at the end of the zip line that gets a character to the mountain area. Anticipate this, and be prepared to engage in zip line hopping tactics or try to use the traps the squad’s advantage. For instance, a team member playing as Caustic is immune to the damage effects of enemy Caustic gas traps and can still see players through them, so a player playing as Caustic can set off the enemy trap and leverage the low visibility to their advant

With the announcement of the Iron Crown Packs, players seem to have hit their limit of consumer exploitation. As a limited-time event, players only have a small window to collect that cosmetics that they may want, of which there are 24. Each player can complete a set of tasks to be awarded two of these packs, but the remainder cost about $7 each in real mo

Caustic is one of if not the oldest competitor in the Apex Games. At the ripe old age of 48, he's not a spring chicken. Due to his age, he's a slower more lumbering character who falls on the aide of his gas canisters to give him the advant

Admittedly introducing Alien characters and settings would be a stretch to Dead By Daylight’s tone, but go with it for a minute. Having the setting in the crumbling prison from Alien 3 with opening and closing doors would be awes

There are few benefits from being exposed on lower ground, so if there’s a chance to push, the best bet is to push to take over the high-ground position rather than trying to take the fight from below. This may mean following the opponent’s zip line, having a team’s Pathfinder throw its own zip line or climbing on ledges as quickly — and stealthy — as possi

But by far the most interesting concept would be the Killer Norman Bates. He could have a disguise mode where he appears to be a survivor as Norman Bates, but switches to Mother to attack survivors. Having the iconic music play whenever he attacks would make for incredible jumpsca

If a team has circle advantage in a later phase of the game, there’s rarely a reason to try to take on a high-ground opponent. Because the circle’s closure will require them to have to drop down and push toward the circle anyway, fighting them when they’re on more level terrain is the way to go. If an opposing team waits until the circle is closing to move from the high ground position, this is a great time for a Bangalore’s or a Gibraltar to use their ultimate. This can provide a major impediment as the team must now face a barrage of damage within the circle or PS5 Weapons risk getting caught in the area outside the circle, which rapidly depletes players’ hea

He may be a mysterious creep, and he may be a psychotic murderer, but at least he looks cool while doing it. Luckily for everyone else, he's old and slow. Just don't get trapped indoors with him and his fu

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

I’d make out with Mirage at a bar after a few drinks. I’d probably initiate the kiss because I find him attractive but I'd also want him to stop talking. And, while there’s a piece of me that believes we’d exchange numbers and never talk to each other again, it's more likely that he’d call incessantly, become borderline obsessive and then blow up at me on Twitter after I told him I wasn’t interested in anything seri

The game's lore says Bloodhound may be part ba t. Look, I’m fine with robots and alien beings. But once it gets into animal territory, that’s pushing it a bit too far — mostly because I’m terrified of the human-animal hybrid anat
