The main draw of Apex Legends is its battle royale action, as players drop into a large map in groups of two or three to scavenge for resources, survive, and battle other squads. The game has seen many mechanical overhauls, character additions, and gameplay changes, and Season 10 has brought some of the biggest adjustments yet.

On January 10, the Apex Legends Spellbound Collection Event was introduced in the game, and with it came a few changes, one of them involving the Gravity Lift ability. Horizon players reported that the Legend’s accuracy while using the aforementioned tactical ability was abnormally low....

DDoS attacks have a long history in Apex Legends, perhaps even more than in many other online multiplayer games. In 2021, Respawn announced it would be taking “huge steps” to counter a growing Apex Legends DDoS problem, banning certain top players and threatening legal action. In addition, Respawn implemented Steam Networking Code into Apex Legends with its Awakening patch in 2022. But Respawn didn’t stop there.

Once upon a time, though, there was a ton of debate around this, as Respawn Entertainment was once preparing to remove tap strafing altogether. The mere thought of it had many players up in arms, and just as many were relieved when Respawn settled on tuning tap-strafing in Apex Legends instead of removing it outright. That’s why many were surprised to see tap strafing gone in Apex today, August 15....

Historically in Apex Legends, Bangalore has been on the sidelines while other characters took the starring role in plot-heavy quests, and recieved little in terms of character development. While some characters, like Wraith and Bloodhound, have gotten cinematic trailers detailing their backstories, and other characters have dominated certain questlines (like Loba and Revenant in the Broken Ghost quests), not much is known about Bangalore aside from her military background and status as a Legend....

The swarms of tawny crazy ants were so intense in some parts of the state, one scientist studying the invasion said scenes were “apocalyptic,” with “rivers of ants” going up and down every tree in the area. Tawny crazy ants (Nylanderia fulva) is a species of ant native to South America. It arrived in the southern states in the last two decades with the first sample found in Houston in 2002....

The iMac is, of course, a great example of Apple’s elegant industrial design. It houses everything – display, processor, graphics, storage, memory and so on – within its super slim case. It manages to pack everything into the thin case by use of advanced friction-stir welding, full-lamination display and micro engineering. It comes with a wireless keyboard and wireless Magic Mouse (buy the £25 Apple Battery Charger), so all you need to add is a modem/router and you’re in business....

Presumably, this applies to wins in the battle royale game as well, which is why Ranked was changed to better push teams and teamplay. One thing that wasn’t touched in Ranked that many Apex Legends have wanted before, however, is the Gold Knockdown shield. In casual or low-ranked play, these sometimes lead to surprise wins when the player gets up, hilarious moments in-between, and the occasional fisticuffs. At high-level play, it can become a serious problem....
