| The best changes made to Apex in 2021 Respawn Entertainment made massive changes to Apex Legends this year. Arenas mode, a round-based economy shooter, launched in April. The battle royale mode received large map updates to Kings Canyon and World’s Edge, and a new map, Storm Point, was released in November. This year also saw the introduction of new weapons and four new legends. But those were just the biggest changes. There were dozens of smaller bug fixes and solutions to quality-of-life issues that players had been experiencing since launch. 메이저놀이터 The ability to track damage in game, which was a “highly-requested” feature, wasn’t the biggest update of the year. But the change punched above its tiny weight. Previously, players were completely in the dark when it came to how much damage they were doing in-game. While Respawn suggested the damage tracker would be handy for trying to get damage badges or to complete daily challenges, it has become way more central to the game. It turns out that seeing how much damage you’ve done is nice for a variety of reasons. It can be used to determine how effective you are with a particular weapon, for example, or whether you’re carrying or being carried by your squad. Less concretely, it’s nice to look at, stimulating the same part of the brain that lights up when you see damage numbers bouncing off enemy shields. This large machine gun that uses heavy ammo is somewhat reminiscent of the Spitfire, a gun so strong that it was put into the care package. Maybe it’s not quite as strong as the Spitfire was at its zenith, but that’s part of why it was such a great addition to the game. Setting aside the Rampage’s extremely satisfying sound (reason enough to use the gun), it fit perfectly into the weapon meta at release. At close range, it loses to fast-firing SMGs like the R-99. At longer ranges, all the snipers outperform the Rampage. It shines at medium range, where it delivers accurate and punishing sustained fire. And it’s hardly useless in other situations. The Rampage is a brilliant all-purpose tool. Off drop it’s extremely deadly, with visually clean iron sights. Late game, it works well with a 3x or 2x scope. It also has a genius alternate fire; loading a thermite grenade into the Rampage transforms it into a souped-up version of itself, spewing out bullets at a higher rate of fire that can also break doors. Unlike the misfit 30-30 Repeater and the undercooked concept of the Bocek Bow, the Rampage felt like it belonged in Apex immediately. |
