Battle passes for games like Call of Duty: Warzone have players spending real money to gain access to a progression system where they can unlock new cosmetic items. What determines a good battle pass is subjective; however, it seems that some of the factors that players will take into consideration are price, quality of battle pass rewards, as well as the progression of the rewa<br><br> <br>In most team FPS games, once a teammate is downed, unless the player is in very close proximity, there’s little chance of saving them. In Apex Legends , if an enemy wants to go for the flashy finish, a teammate has a good chance of being able to spare their comrade for the next firefi<br><br> <br>Apex season 12, on the other hand, doesn’t really have the same problem. Look at the female characters alone – Wraith, Bangalore, and Lifeline. Only one of them is wearing a body suit, and considering her character (stealthy interdimensional assassin-y lady,) it fits. The other two women wear clothing that makes sense for both their respective roles on the battlefield and their lore, with Bangalore’s fatigues making sense considering her military upbringing and Lifeline’s breathable top and cargo pants fitting with her role as a combat medic, as well as being more casual than something somebody from her wealthy upbringing might wear. On top of their outfits, each woman looks different. Different body types and heights and faces help to give them differentiating factors beyond outfit colors and hairstyles. While I’d like more diversity in terms of female body types and eventually other ethnicities, it’s a pretty bang-up st<br><br> <br>One way Fortnite has stayed popular is through their in-game events . While some of these include changes to the game , most consist of clever and fun tie-ins to other popular and relevant intellectual properties. For example, Fortnite recently allowed players to play as their favorite Marvel characters. Although it does not impact the gameplay, fun in-game events like these entice players to return to the g<br><br> <br>To me, where Apex Legends truly succeeds is in its strength of character. That is to say, its diverse and robust cast of eclectic player-characters are unlike anything else in the genre. Fortnite‘s characters are colorful in the same way that ’80s cartoon characters are, but they lack personality or depth. Meanwhile, PUBG’s got some military gear and overpriced Suicide Squad costumes that look like they’re from Party City’s bargain bin. Warzone? More like snore zone. Against this limp competition, Apex has the edge by defa<br><br> <br>I digress. First, let’s talk about the female characters – practically all of them look the goddamn same. Outliers like Mei and Zarya notwithstanding, almost every single female character, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or occupation, are identical in both facial characteristics and body type. A gruff military woman hailing from Egypt has the same ass and bust and weight of an introverted teenage hacker from Mexico, a socially awkward Indian mathematician, a dumb white cowgirl, a Swedish welder, a German doctor, a professional gamer from Korea, a French sniper, a white whatever-the-fuck Tracer is, et cet<br><br> <br>Another feature that PUBG Mobile has and PUBG doesn’t is the auto pick-up. Players can customize this to pick up certain amounts of ammo, attachments, and which guns to pick up. PUBG players on console do not have this advantage, and will have to use headphones to figure out enemy locations. They will also have to loot slower since they don’t have auto pick-up, and may not be able to loot as quickly as PUBG Mobile players <br><br> <br>Revenant’s tactical ability is called Silence , and it does exactly what it sounds like – silences enemies. Revenant gets two charges of this fairly long-range and fast projectile. Any enemy that makes contact with it will be silenced, and unable to use either their tactical or ultimate ability for 20 seconds. This can make enemy teams much easier to deal with. The projectile also hangs around, meaning it can be used to block an enemy escape and will deal damage when an enemy brushes up against it. Perfect for stopping Octane in his tracks or preventing Bangalore from using smoke to esc<br><br> <br>But even the outliers have their own problems. Ana, an elderly woman in a sick-ass headscarf, gets a skin that makes her younger and sexier. Mei seems kind of portly, until you put on literally anything other than her default outfit and realize, huh, she’s actually just got a pretty conventionally acceptable hourglass figure and enormous tits. The only one I can give any props to, really, is Zarya. Despite the silly boob armor, she genuinely bucks conventional design trends with it comes to female characters, both in terms of personality and physicality. She’s more in line with the wild diversity present in the male characters, and I really do wish that diversity was represented in the female charact<br>
