R-99 (SMG): Another easy-access weapon for Bloodhound users would be the R-99 SMG. It doesn’t have as much oomph compared to a shotgun, but it boasts enough firing rate and decent per-bullet damage to eliminate opponents in closed spaces without worrying about precision. This is especially useful in cases where Bloodhound has to chase enemies in mid-ra

It can thankfully be tweaked and flipped off for those who prefer a more traditional setup, though it's a neat little feature to include. But it also offers a good excuse to opt for this sleek new Apex-themed controller which happens to have gyro functionality built

R-301 Carbine (Assault Rifle): Perhaps one of the most accessible ARs in the game, the naturally-high damage output and decent handling of the weapon makes this an all-rounder companion for the tracker. This allows Bloodhound to attack enemies on the get-go, or even use this in conjunction with long-ranged optics to become a makeshift sni

Gibraltar is good in a variety of positions, so you shouldn’t feel pressured to take him close-range. Gibraltar can camp out at a distance with a sniper rifle and feel content to heal up and take cover when needed, or can go in close with an SMG to deal as much damage as possible. Because of his size and abilities, I’d say that a mid-range game plan, with an SMG and a LMG combo, is his best

After all of these defensive techniques, it’s weird to see Gibraltar use something so different. The bombardment literally shoots down a barrage of explosive attacks, more than enough to entirely finish off an unwitting legend if they’re unable to get out of range. All Gibraltar has to do is mark a location with a grenade, and then the explosions come raining down. Gibraltar can even use this on his own location, and then use the Dome Shield to cover himself from damage, instead leaving any nearby enemies in the firing line. This ability works great in open areas, but awfully in closed buildings. Very situational, but potentially dea

Beast of the Hunt (Ultimate): Bloodhound taps into a surge of energy that gives them a speed boost as well as sensing tracks of nearby enemies. The same white raven from Tracker appears to lead Bloodhound to enemies, and prolong the duration of the effect after ki

The Chaos Theory Collection Event has begun, and if you’re an experienced Apex Legends player you know exactly what that means. There are loads of unique skins for legends and weapon alike available to trade your Apex Coins for, and if you buy them all, you get the Bangalore heirloom. Heirlooms are rare so this is a nice offer, but hardly the most essential. If you’re a new player and tempted to invest in Apex Legends, you’re better off looking at buying the battle p

Not only this, but this package also grants seven exclusive Legendary items including weapon and character skins, as well as a Golden Nessie charm. Finally, an additional 1,000 apex Legends story Guide Coins are tossed in for good measure. Not a bad deal for under $40.00

The Mastiff is having pellet damage decreased from 13 to 11, and fire rate increased from 1.0 to 1.1. This is a slight nerf, but not one the average player should notice. Makes sense, as it has consistently been the best shotgun in the game for a wh

Perhaps the ultimate indication of Bloodhound as the perfect hunter in Apex Legends gameplay, Beast of the Hunt (Ultimate) transforms them into the perfect predator. They get a special greyscale view that "enhances" their senses, automatically revealing enemies while being able to move much faster. For a more vicious effect, Bloodhound can use Apex Legends Pistols while chasing enem

Players that investigate the new Water Treatment will be able to empty the gas and toxic waste from the building, revealing hidden golden loot. Very helpful in the fight ahead, but it may become a deadly battlegro

In addition to that is the new Survival Slot. This new bag slot gives you a permanent place to keep a Mobile Respawn Beacon, or a Heat Shield, meaning there’s no reason for at least one member of your team not to have one. This should mean that both of these items see a lot of use in the future, and I welcome this cha

Gaming can be a rather expensive hobby -- especially when factoring in the costs of online memberships and other paid services. Luckily, Apex players on Switch can enjoy the thrilling online BR showdowns for f

The R-99 SMG is fast in terms of its fire rate , but the biggest con is the low amount of damage it deals. The recoil is also unforgiving and can make this gun very difficult to use, which makes it more of a skill-based wea

Gibraltar is as simple as they come for legends. His abilities are pretty straightforward, and so are his strategies. If there’s a tip to be put down, it’s really that he’s about teamwork. Gibraltar’s dome shield isn’t just for you, it’s for your teammates too, and the same goes for the ultimate bombardment, which can be used to scare off enemies, if nothing else, and then you can move in and use the dome shield to revive your p
