Shield Cells will be removed from the loot pool entirely, and armor will instead regenerate on its own after a short delay. Eight seconds after taking damage, armor will start coming back at 12 points per second. If armor is completely broken, it will take 16 seconds until it starts regenerating. Armor Regen will start on April 23 and run through the end of the War Games event on April

VTOL Jets has to be Valkyrie’s most interesting ability, allowing her to fly high into the air - though she flies fairly slowly. This gives her the ability to survey the battlefield and spot enemies in advance, but she will not be able to fire her weapon while ascending - though she will be able to use her Tactical Ability: Missile Swarm . Valkyrie will only be able to use her guns when descending, making it difficult to aim at distant enemies - though skilled players will certainly do just that. There is a height limit and a fuel limit to Valkyrie’s jets, but she will still have the most mobility out of any of the Legends on the roster - even Pathfind

Killing Time could very well be Respawn trying out a new idea to increase the excitement of Apex Legends games. From the description, it seems Killing Time will really push the envelope in terms of ring acceleration, but it's possible a similar, more lax system could become a permanent part of the game later

People who have a favorite character tend to call these their main, such as this Instagrammer . Some of the gamers that have Mirage as their main have perfected the use of the ultimate and use it as soon as it seems they are going to be outnumbered by another team. 9 times out of 10, this ends with a successful escape or ambush att

This mode can be used either as a Battle Royale warm-up, or a dedicated competitive mode. Respawn also plans to introduce Ranked Arenas in the future, as mentioned in our interview with the team . For more on the Arenas mode, see our Apex Legends Season 9: Legacy previ

The Skyward Dive is built for repositioning, but what you might not be considering is how useful this is in tense situations. You can probably imagine dozens of moments where you’ve been stuck between the encroaching ring and an enemy team, and this is where the Skyward Dive thrives, not only allowing you an easy escape but also painting enemies on your HUB so you’ll know where you can consider a safe landing spot. Combine Valkyrie’s Skyward Dive with Mirage’s skydive decoys and you should be able to mystify enemies and relocate quickly and eas

There was a time when the battle royale genre of video games seemed to begin and end with PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds . Better known as PUBG, this really was the game that started a parade of other games in the genre. Some are good, though, while some fall a little bit short. These days, there are a ton of them to choose from, no matter what platform is used. The sheer number of games out there can make it a bit hard to decide on what to play and what stands out from the p

With many defeats, there will come a time where victory graces every gamer. Arguably, no victories are more satisfying than when gamers pull off a bamboozle that leads to an enemy's demise. Nothing quite describes the unadulterated joy that comes with pulling it off and successful bamboozles are still a high point for players in the g

But now the servers have mostly recovered, and after breaking its own Steam record, Apex Legends Season 9 is finally live, allowing players to become immersed in the new Arenas mode, and play with what might be the most exciting new addition, the new Legend, Valkyr

The next new hop-up is Deadeye’s Tempo , which increase the fire rate dramatically. This is what makes the Bocek viable at close range. This hop-up will also work with the Sentinel sniper rifle, which currently has a notoriously slow fire r

Horizon has had a fairly big nerf , with her Gravity Lift speed reduced by 30%, strafe speed on the lift reduced, and reduced the amount of time you can stay on top of it to just two seconds. That’s all in addition to a five-second cooldown increase. Ro

That isn’t quite the whole story when it comes to Realm Royale , but the now standalone battle royale used to just be a mode in Paladins: Battlegrounds . When it comes to establishing itself in the battle royale field, it’s quite similar to other games in the area as it drops 90 players into an area where they do battle while the boundaries of the map slowly shrink. One of the weird ways the game manages to stand out is by making „downed“ players into chickens who can the

Arenas is clearly the biggest part of the new update, introducing a new 3v3 PVP mode which will be a part of the game permanently from now on. Arenas will see you selecting your ideal Legend before a match, and then spending crafting metals to purchase weapons and items before each round beg
