The best Apex Legends weapons make a world of difference in any match. Sure, you can waltz into King’s Canyon with a charge rifle or alternator if you really want to – but don’t expect stunning results. Some of the top weapons in Respawn’s multiplayer game only show up if you craft them, but several of our picks have a random chance of being included in a care package. The luck variable involved in gathering these packages is a bit of an obstacle, but once you find the right one, hang onto it as long as you can. 

Big changes are coming for Apex Legends’ Revenant in Season 18

The new Apex Legends season is coming up fast, with some significant changes in store for Revenant in the multiplayer game

 Apex Legends Season 18 is coming up fast, with some significant changes in store for Revenant, one of the multiplayer game’s oldest heroes who’s fallen by the wayside in recent years. Apex Legends Season 18, officially called Resurrection, is transforming Revenant to the point that he’s almost a new character.

This new-and-improved version is called Revenant Resurrection and includes a new skin and a completely revamped kit for battle. His new passive is Assassin’s Instinct keeps his crouch and wall-running speed buffs and adds a handy new feature: red outlines for enemies at low health. The rest of the squad can see the outline if Revenant Resurrected brought them to low health.

Shadow Pounce is his new tactical, a massive leap that Respawn said has about as much power as an Octane pad and makes closing in on weak foes much easier. You can charge it for greater control over how far you leap as well. 

Finally is Revenant Resurrected’s new ultimate: Forged Shadows. It’s a skill that essentially exists to let you use Shadow Pounce more often. Forged Shadows increases Revenant’s hitbox size and absorbs all damage taken while the ultimate is active, and any kills Revenant makes during Forged Shadows recharge Shadow Pounce.

It’s a sweeping set of changes that gives Revenant a much-needed new identity, especially after Seer made him practically obsolete.

Apex Legends season 18 launches Aug. 8, 2023, for PC and console.

Apex Legends: Arsenal − all new updates coming to Season 17

Season 17 brings a new legend, map updates, and a game-changing new item

On May 9, Apex Legends will roll out its 17th season, and it’s set to change the game in some pretty significant ways. The new season will see the addition of new areas to storm on World’s Edge, a brand-new survival item set to shake up the game, a slick new Legend to play as, new systems for progression, and so much more. 

Here’s everything coming to Apex Legends’ new Arsenal season.

Fans think the Apex Legends swimsuit event is too tame

Respawn is hosting an Apex Legends swimsuit event and a special limited-time mode, but fans were hoping for something more revealing

Respawn is hosting an Apex Legends swimsuit event and a special limited-time mode, but fans were apparently hoping for something more revealing (thanks, GamesRadar). The Sun Squad Collection Event runs from March 28, 2023, through April 11, 2023, and marks the first time Respawn added swimsuit skins to the FPS game, though not for every Legend.

Some fans were disappointed that Loba, who normally wears heeled boots and skin-tight clothes, wasn’t included. They made such a fuss that the Apex Legends Twitter account posted a challenge saying the team would add a swimsuit for her if the post reached a certain number of likes, which it did very quickly.

Then, fans were upset because the skin wasn’t revealing enough, and not just hers either. The men aren’t showing enough skin, they said, except for Seer with his open shirt – and even that wasn’t quite as titillating as they hoped. Some Twitter users put together mock-ups of what they wanted instead, with predictable results.

Meanwhile, Respawn is also running a new limited-time mode during season 16 called Heatwave, where the sun is so strong, it damages you unless you find shade quickly. That’s not a day at the beach where you’d want to be running around in a thong, so it looks like those non-revealing swimsuits come in handy after all.

Apex Legends will keep going for ’10 to 15 years,’ says Respawn

The studio will keep supporting its battle royale phenomenon for years to come.

Respawn Entertainment wants to support Apex Legends for “10, 15 years” – and hopefully well beyond that.

As reported by GamesIndustry.biz, Respawn Entertainment has opened a third studio in Madison, Wisconsin, that’ll assist with the ongoing support of Apex Legends. Company co-founder and CEO Vince Zampella explained that the extra helping hand is important to keep updates coming at a steady pace.

“There are some things we work on that take more than two years to get from beginning to end in the game,” Zampella said. “For example, a Legend takes us about a year to a year and a half to get into the game. So we’re working on things well in advance.”

Respawn also works on other massive games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which comes out next month – so the various teams are clearly busy.

In the past, Zampella has been adamant about prioritizing the health and safety of Repsawn’s employees – it seems the new studio will help keep Apex Legends content coming at a steady pace without making staff work long hours.

“Team health is absolutely a top priority for us because we’re in this for the long haul,” Zampella continues. “We believe in Apex as a franchise that’s going to be around for 10, 15 years or more, and we’re excited to make that happen. In order to do that, we can’t just put everything all upfront, burn ourselves out and not be ready to do that in the long haul.”

Season 16 of Apex Legends came out recently and added several much-requested features.

Full patch notes for Apex Legends Season 16 Revelry

Apex Legends Season 16 came with quite a few changes. Here are the full patch notes.

Apex Legends Season 16 Revelry is here, and even though it doesn’t shake up the game to its core with a new map or new legends, the patch makes quite a few substantial changes we need to go over. Now that the update has had a few days to soak in, let’s do a deep dive into all major changes and the full patch notes.

All legends are now reorganized into five new classes, and there are new passive class perks attached to each role. The five new classes are Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Support, and Controller.

The new season also adds a Team Deathmatch limited-time mode which pits two teams of six against each other. Each team’s goal is to be the first to get 50 kills. Team Deathmatch will stay as an LTM in the game for the first three weeks, until March 7.

[mm-video type=video id=01fwgtz6p3m4yzwcehyp playlist_id=none player_id=01gp1x90emjt3n6txc image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fwgtz6p3m4yzwcehyp/01fwgtz6p3m4yzwcehyp-c1d31054cbf8ff9d8da8d3073428f85a.jpg]

The new Mixtape playlist will bring back popular limited-time modes on permanent rotation, and once Team Deathmatch’s original run as an LTM is over, it will be included in Mixtape. 

Season 16 also added a new weapon, The Nemesis, an assault rifle that uses energy ammo, fires four rounds per burst, and is set to compete with Flatline and R-301, as the latter is also getting nerfed.

The start of the new season also features the Anniversary Collection Event, marking Apex Legends‘ fourth birthday with two weeks of login rewards.

The ongoing first week unlocked Crypto as a playable legend and is bringing one Crypto Thematic pack to everyone who logs into the game until Feb. 21.

Week two starts on Feb. 21, and will unlock Ash together with one Ash Thematic pack for every player who logs in till Feb. 28.

The new season also brought Firing Range updates, adding new customization options and a handful of quality-of-life improvements, with more waves of updates coming soon, based on usage of the current features.

Newcomers to the game can now try Orientation Matches to ease their way into Apex Legends’ core mechanics and move to regular matchmaking in no time.

These are the main changes that came with the new season. Now, let’s take a detailed look at the full patch notes for Apex Legends Season 16.

Apex Legends Season 16 patch notes

Apex Legends Season 16 start time: check out when the update goes live

Here’s when Apex Legends Season 16 Revelry goes live.

Apex Legends Season 16 has a lot of substantial changes in store despite not featuring a fresh legend to choose or a new map to play on. Instead, the update reworks the battle royale game’s class system, adjusts many of the existing weapons and legends, and adds the highly-requested Team Deathmatch game mode. It also unleashes a new energy weapon, the Nemesis.

Can’t wait to dive into all that and try out the changes? Here’s when Apex Legends Season 16 Revelry goes live.

The best games of 2022 in no particular order

With the year drawing to a close and a packed 2023 on the horizon, it’s time to look back at the best games of 2022

With The Game Awards at an end, the year is drawing to a close, and while there’s plenty to look forward to in 2023 – including Starfield and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – for now, it’s time to take a look back at the best games of 2022. Despite a seemingly endless stream of delays, 2022 was packed with games, from big-budget spectacles like God of War: Ragnarok and Elden Ring, to surprise indie hits such as the adorable hero’s adventure Tunic and the retro-horror hit Signalis.

Choosing between so many games is no easy task, but we’ve done it anyway and listed our top picks below.

The best FPS games – the top 17 shooters of all time

We just chose the best 15 first-person shooters.

Once they were a vehicle for tech innovation, then everyone’s favorite storytelling medium. When we all got online, shooters were there to show us why that was exciting. Whenever the newspapers needed a moral panic, shooters were happy to provide one. 

Perhaps more than any other genre, a list of the best shooters tells a story about the medium and what we wanted from it at the time. It’s shapeshifted into something athletes can devote their lives to and fill arenas through their talents, but it’s also been there to ask us uncomfortable questions about what we see on the news. At this point, its library is so rich that it can even parody itself from years past, and to great effect. 

[mm-video type=video id=01fnp5g2j69gbjtbnsav playlist_id=none player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01fnp5g2j69gbjtbnsav/01fnp5g2j69gbjtbnsav-8a38f9e6b09f1d12cccb7df9934477f4.jpg]

That makes picking just 17 of them a hard task. So we didn’t – instead we built a vast learning AI, made it play every FPS released since the dawn of time, and provide us an empirical ranking of their quality. 

Okay, that was a lie. Look, we just chose the best 17 shooters, ok? Get off our backs. That does mean just one game from each series though – otherwise you’d be about to read a lot of Quake and Half-Life entries.

Apex Legends: Every playable Legend, ranked

Every playable character in Apex Legends, ranked. With this guide you’ll know who to play if you want to be a one-man-army.

Apex Legends is one of the world’s most popular battle royale games, and it only takes a few tries to see why. A high level of polish, excellent movement, a great variety of guns, and a full cast of 20 fascinating characters with surprisingly deep backstories are all great reasons to play. But with so many characters to play it’s difficult to decide who is best. 

This list runs down who we believe to be the very best and most powerful playable Legends in Apex Legends. All of these characters are great in the right situation, but some are great no matter when and where they are.
