Apex Legends: How To Counter High-Ground Camping Tactics

The worst (or best, depending on your preference) part of leaving King's Canyon behind for a lot of players has to be the loss of Skulltown, the consistently hot drop location that promised a fight the moment your feet hit the ground. However, it certainly didn't take players long to find its equivalent in World's E


One suggestion is that, due to the most recent hack, the Kings Canyon arena became so overrun with wildlife that it was no longer usable. This led one Redditor to speculate that Kings Canyon could return as a PvE map, as datamined ps5 Game recommendations content suggests players will eventually be able to fight spide


A sniper rifle was always a wonderful thing to have in King's Canyon, but in World's Edge, it's practically a necessity. The terrain outside of the more built-up and urbanized areas tends to be incredibly open with little cover, and a lot of the map's transition areas and choke points can be covered from a great dista


This might seem like a forgettable gimmick at first, but there's a lot more utility to the drone's ability to open doors than initially apparent. It's just a matter of getting a little creative with the opportunity when it's presen


King's Canyon had a few select locales that were heavily preferred for squads looking to get a cautious, quiet start, allowing them to loot up for the battles ahead. Swamps and Slum Lakes are the best examples to be

For starters, there are several areas of the map that are impossible to reach without the help of a Pathfinder. Additionally, there are other areas of land that are accessible to non-Pathfinders only by using a redeploy balloon. And finally, there are also elevated areas that become impossible to reach without a Pathfinder in a small cir


There are no Supply Ships to be found and fought over in World's Edge, but they've been replaced with a cool new Supply Train that loops around the map. Landing on the train is a bit more challenging, but every bit as dangerous and chaotic as a Supply Ship land


However, in cases where this is simply not possible, find cover and try to anticipate opponents’ moves. The majority of time, due to the circle constraints or simply the desire to take down their opponents before the final circle ends the game, they’ll drop from the high-ground position. Be ready for it and take advantage of the situation by having shotguns on h


Even some of the more close-quarters oriented locales, like Capitol City, offer so much in the way of verticality that sniping from a rooftop perch is generally the go-to strategy. And that's completely overlooking the fact that the newest sniper weapon, the Charge Rifle, is absurdly overpowered as of right


The magic of this duo is that Crypto’s abilities are most useful if used while he’s hidden. His drone allows him to see over distances while he remains stationary. On the other hand, Pathfinder excels in getting around the map quickly. So, if Crypto uses his drone to spot another team in a building nearby, a Pathfinder can zipline them both to the top of that building quickly before the opposing team has a chance to gather their bearing and assert a defense. With the high ground advantage, the Pathfinder and Crypto team can then take the fi


From a tactical standpoint, Mirage is effective at causing distractions. If a Mirage can successfully capture the attention of an opposing duo, the Pathfinder can grapple over to the team and get them while they're not paying attention to him. And, if done especially well, Mirage can then use his decoy escape to push the unwitting team from another direction, resulting in a strong push strat

When Apex Legends first came out, many agreed Pathfinder was one of the worst characters. While hit box issues were part of the problem, there was also a sense that his abilities didn’t match up to damage-dealing ultimates like Bangalore’s or enhanced health and shield protection like Lifel


Apex Legends ' third season sees hacker extraordinaire Crypto added to the existing roster , and his unique skill set definitely shakes things up. All of Crypto's abilities revolve around the use of his Surveillance Drone, a deployable airborne robot that is definitely a lot more than a glorified mobile security camera. If you want to get good with Crypto, then you're going to need to get extremely familiar with its capabilit


This has several applications, like keeping an eye out inside of contested loot zones, alerting the squad when enemies have entered a particular building. It can also monitor entry points in defensive strongholds, or call attention to far off choke points for sniping opportunit
