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
This can allow you to review vast distances of the surrounding area. This will help to locate enemy squads, spot which Supply Bins have been looted, and plot your next course. Even if an enemy spots you, at least you aren’t walking into their ambush up ah
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
Always Be Closing (January 20-21): This mode takes Alec Baldwin’s advice a little too literally. The ring will do far more damage and will be constantly getting smaller and smaller throughout the entire ro
Jump Towers will consistently give away your position, once you launch from the top. And often, they’re used in a hurry to outrun the relentless Ring. But those players who rotate with planned strategy can use Jump Towers for another purpose: recon. Rise up the Jump Tower, and just before you reach the balloon, drop back d
Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc
Her ability to place powerful electrical gates can turn even the most simple of buildings into a fortress. On top of her shield restoring and ordnance destroying ultimate, Wattson is one of the true defensive characters in the g
Portal’s Chell had the right idea—now make GLaDOS proud. Obviously, Wraith’s ability to phase while she extends a portal is highly useful for crossing dangerous terrain. Your entire squad can escape the sharpest eyes of a sniper. However, Wraith’s portal is also useful for downed teammates. Instead of defending another knocked teammate who tried to be a lone wolf, offer them a portal to saf
Clank of the Ratchet and Clank series has everything a robot should have: intelligence, wit, gadgets, and good looks. Clank is the ultimate sidekick to Ratchet, but in some ways stands on his own. Clank is typically used for smaller spaces and outer space areas. Clank has many abilities to hold his own against enemies such as a thrusterpack. In some cases, he can even grow into a much larger s
Some have suggested that instead of matchmaking based on skill, lower-skilled players should grind harder and play better in order to compete with top players. First of all, not everyone has 3,000 hours a year to put into a video game. But more importantly, I'm not really sure how a person can improve when they're getting clobbered every game. After a certain point, it probably wouldn't matter anyway because the player would eventually find a different game that's more fun for t
Horizon Zero Dawn is full of robots, but the largest and most menacing is known as the Thunderjaw. The Thunderjaw is practically a T-Rex on steroids. It has lasers, a razor-sharp tail, missile launchers, and stands significantly taller than Aloy . It is hard to believe that this creature can be killed, but the feeling, once it is dead, is pure adrenal
For the Grand Soirée event, Respawn has overhauled its reward tracking system. Each of these modes will have their own challenges that will award you points. These points will then be put toward a prize track that will unlock special Soirée-related rewards for every milestone you hit. You can earn up to 1000 points from challenges in each mode, and players will complete battle pass challenges by playing these modes as well. As an added bonus, you’ll also receive a special badge for trying out each of these special modes, which is great because everyone loves a good ba
Link has to get pretty strong before even thinking about taking on one of these foes. Even after getting good weapons and armor, players must be wary of taking on these foes, since a single misstep can cause Link to be obliterated in no t
