Death Totem (Ultimate): Revenant releases a Death Totem that can give its users the means to fight death. The first time a teammate gets downed or killed while using a Death Totem will have them reappear in the Totem’s spawn point, practically giving them a second l
Bangalore gets a snazzy militaristic skin that goes well with her various militaristic poses. Meanwhile, Bloodhound is… blue, a nice blue. Or is it turquoise? Or seafoam green? Whatever it is, it’s lov
Claptrap or CL4P-TP, was created by the Hyperion with a zealous personality. He frequently discusses his loneliness such as the time players attend his birthday party and no one else shows up. The little guy is a bit disappointed but manages to have a good time. It is so bizarre why no one would show up to his party even though pizza and music were pres
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
The Fallout universe is full of threats, and many NPCs within the game are terrified of Synths. Synths or synthetic humans were created by the Institute to look and act like humans. Many people within the Fallout 4 world are terrified of Synths and their creator, the Institute. The hysteria around these beings is blown out of proport
The Gears of War series is full of characters and creatures. However, one of its most interesting aspects is Jack. In the older games, Jack didn’t have a whole lot of personality. All he ever really did was cut open doors or hack into computer systems. The older trilogy didn’t make Jack all that interest
Nier: Automata came out of nowhere to wow audiences with an incredible narrative, fun combat, and memorable characters who have a ton of life in them even though they may be robots. Such is the case with 2B, the game’s iconic protagonist, who has become quite popular with f
Keep Death Totems close but hidden: While Death Totem (Ultimate) is a nifty provider of a second life for Revenant’s team, that life becomes useless when the Totem is destroyed. In that regard, Revenant users should position Death Totems near areas of interest but hidden well enough that they’re not the first location enemy teams would choose when looking for t
Shadow Mode is helpful, but not indestructible: Anyone from the team who touches the Totem becomes a shadow for 25 seconds. However, Shadow Mode doesn’t have Shields and only has 50 Health upon returning to the Totem after death. The Totem’s time is extended based on the last person to become a shadow. Meaning, turning into a shadow when the Totem is only a few seconds from closing will extend the Totem’s timer for another 25 seco
Revenant boasts one of the most horrifying appearances among his Apex Legends companions, and this is huge because of his nature as a Simulacra. Since he’s practically a robot, Revenant isn’t actively worrying about risking his life on the field. And it’s this “control” over death that makes him utterly terrifying, especially with a powerful Apex Legends Ranked Guide Legends Assault Rifle and other straightforward weaponry. Here’s what fans can expect from using Reven
I have a lot of respect for Ninja. The man, alongside his wife, Jessica, built an a multinational empire by playing video games. I, on the other hand, spend most of my days in my pajamas, tweeting jokes and Photoshopping bad Apex Legends me
DUMMIEs Big Day (January 26-27): Nobody seems to know what this mode is all about. If we had to take a guess, judging by the fact that everyone seems to look like a brightly colored crash test dummy, it’s likely that this mode makes it so you can’t see which characters the other teams have chosen. It’s either that, or it may be the first mode that involves A.I.-controlled bots for players to shoot freely. Guess we’ll find out when the mode goes live on the 26
Star Wars might be going through a rough patch with the new trilogy of movies, but the video games released under this IP have been dynamite the last few years. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is, for lack of a better phrase, Uncharted in Star Wars . That sells it short of its engaging combat and excellent character building , but the core gameplay loop of exploration followed by epic fights bears a striking resemblance between the two ga
2019 provided gamers with a ton of memorable and fun titles that will likely continue to thrive in the coming years. While we are certainly an eclectic group of writers with different tastes and #1 picks, it was Resident Evil 2 that was mentioned most in our lists, earning the title out TheGamer’s Game of the Year for 2
We don’t think Crypto’s version of fancy is in line with the spirit of the Grand Soirée, but it’s certainly an interesting look. He looks less like he’s attending an exquisite old-fashioned party and more like he’s about to order bottle service at the club. But hey, points for eff
