Post Malone порадовал фаната Apex Legends

Знаменитый американский рэпер Остин Ричард Пост, более известный под псевдонимом Post Malone, является большим поклонником многопользовательского шутера в стиле королевской битвы Apex Legends, и на одном из недавних концертов он воспользовался возможностью порадовать своего фаната, также обожающего игру от Respawn Entertainment. 

Crypto isn't Apex Legends' least popular character anymore

We don't know who needs to hear this, but Apex Legends' Crypto is no-longer the least popular character in Respawn Entertainment's battle royale. If there was any doubt about Apex Legends being one of the best competitive FPS games on the market right now, this should surely clear things up. Despite no mention whatsoever in the latest Apex Legends patch notes, Crypto has seen a 14.6% usage increase over the last few days and now sits joint least-popular with Newcastle - who has seen a usage rate drop of 1.2% - according to Apex Legends Status.


If you're sitting there wondering where this unusual spike of Crypto popularity has come from, it's hard to say given his lack of technical changes. However, Catalyst could very well be a catalyst for this.


We know Gibraltar and Newcastle are Catalyst's kryptonite in Apex Legends, but his pick rate has been in decline for some time now. When you couple this with the fact that Catalyst is a "liability" when countering scans, her popularity could actually be influencing the viability of Crypto in the battle royale at the moment.

This Apex Legends passive ability concept could spice up the meta

In Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter Apex Legends, there is currently only one class-based passive ability that players can take advantage of. With the FPS game's legends being sorted into multiple classes, should this really be the case? Well, one Apex Legends fan has suggested otherwise and we're not alone in thinking that the new class-based passive abilities they proposed would make an excellent addition to the game.


We know Gibraltar and Newcastle are Catalyst's kryptonite in Apex Legends, but Redditor 'CreamOfMeme420' has proposed that all Defence class legends should be able to stack two Ultimate Accelerant items per inventory slot. This proposed Defence class passive ability would allow legends like Caustic, Wattson, and Rampart (as well as the three mentioned above) to use their ultimate abilities much more frequently - which, we suppose, would make them worth picking a little more if you're trying to climb the Apex Legends ranks.


In addition to this, they suggest an Assault class passive ability that improves tactical ability cooldown for legends like Ash, Bangalore, and Mirage when they get a knockdown. This passive ability, that would also stretch to Fuse, Maggie, and Revenant, would encourage more aggressive plays when using these legends - and reward players who win gunfights with faster tacticals.

Apex Legends accused of releasing "misleading" Catalyst trailers

We know this is quite hard to believe, but it has already been around a week since Catalyst joined the Apex Games and Respawn Entertainment's battle royale shooter alongside Broken Moon. Following arguments that Apex Legends' Catalyst is a "liability" when countering scans, discussions on her ability kit online have reached a point where battle royale players are claiming that they were mislead by Apex Legends' trailers - when it comes to Catalyst's Dark Veil ultimate ability, anyway.


Starting as an Apex Legends subreddit post from 'NizzyDeniro' that suggests Catalyst should be able to use her Dark Veil ultimate ability in parallel to the player and not perpendicularly, conversation quickly turned into a discussion on just how good Catalyst is in what is one of the best competitive FPS games available. While there are some fans that quite like Catalyst, and we're inclined to agree with them, there are also quite a few players who think Apex Legends' trailers were "misleading" - do they have a point?


Well, in a way, they do have a point. However, we also think they're reaching a little bit - and here's why.
