Apex Legends: A Guide To Every Sniper Rifle

Apex Legends has finally launched on Nintendo Switch along with the big juicy 1.6 update, which changes a lot about the game as you know it right now. Legend and weapon balance changes were obvious, and anyone following the news should know about Caustic’s takeover and the Chaos Theory event – but even more exciting than that is the new Heat Shield item, the Survival Slot, and a bunch more new additions and adjustme

Caustic is one of two characters in Apex Legends (along with Gibraltar, because of their hit box sizes ) that has a bonus perk reducing all damage by 15% and is immune to the slowing effects of incoming bullets. This alone makes him a tantalizing pick for new players, and his relatively straightforward abilities help make him easy to le

Thanks to Bloodhound’s toolkit, enemies are practically unable to hide from their sights, making them a useful Legend with aggressive Apex Legends teammates . When used properly, their abilities allow them to not just stalk his prey but even see them on the move, personifying the adage of: “you can run, but you can’t hide.” However, players who want to maximize Bloodhound’s skillset may want to consider utilizing their abilities in this man

Properties: Bloodhound releases a 125-degree cone in front of them that reveals all enemies and clues such as traps through highlights. This has a 25-second cooldown, and has a 1.8-second activation time. The tracking itself lasts for three (3) seco

Wraith has the most useful passive ability of all as she can hear when an opponent is aiming at her with their best weapon . This is very useful as it prevents opponents from sneaking up on them or third partying after a fight has ended, as she can warn everyone that someone is nea

Revenant’s passive ability is called Stalker, and it allows him to crouch-walk faster and climb to higher heights than other legends, which is something few players know about him . This allows for him to put himself in optimal fighting positions as he is able to quickly sneak around and flank an enemy, or take the high gro

Beast of the Hunt for the burst and clear: When Bloodhound uses Beast of the Hunt (Ultimate), players need to remember that the switch of colors allows them to spot enemies faster, allowing them to ping enemy positions despite distractions such as Caustic and Bangalore’s smokes. Likewise, the speed boost Beast of the Hunt provides should encourage Bloodhound to be a speed demon in encounters, with quick movement making him harder to hit – and therefore allowing players to secure ideal vantage points for fast ki

Pathfinder, one of the original legends that finally has a backstory , is useful for new players because he has high mobility and can help maneuver a whole squad. His Grappling Hook tactical can get him to hard-to-reach spots in a pinch, or help him disengage from combat quickly. It can be pretty tricky at first, but with just a bit of practice players can pull of some truly impressive stunts with the Grappling H

The Nox Gas Grenade ultimate has the same basic principles as the traps, but is throwable and the gas cloud covers a larger radius. Caustic is immune to the effects of his own gas (and that of enemy Caustics), so throwing a Nox Gas Grenade straight at the ground might buy players enough time to heal. Any enemies caught in Caustic’s gas will be highlighted in a bright green too, thanks to his passive ability. Check out Caustic’s character guide for m

Pathfinder can help the whole squad reach a vantage point when he uses his Zipline Gun ultimate ability. One end deploys where he’s standing, and the other where the player is aiming. It’s also helpful for outrunning the ring. Speaking of the ring, Pathfinder’s passive ability lets him scan survey beacons scattered around the map in order to learn the next ring’s location. Knowing where to go next in **Apex Legends ** will help alleviate some anxiety for new players, since they won’t have to worry about planning on the

R-301 Carbine (Assault Rifle): Perhaps one of the most accessible ARs in the game, the naturally-high damage output and decent handling of the weapon makes this an all-rounder companion for the tracker. This allows Bloodhound to attack enemies on the get-go, or even use this in conjunction with long-ranged optics to become a makeshift sni

Fuse is the newest character to be added and he has a thing for explosives . His passive ability reiterates this fact as he can use a grenade launcher to shoot grenades, further, faster, and more accurately than if he was throwing t

Kings Canyon’s Water Treatment was underappreciated, so it makes sense that Caustic has gone in to overhaul the place. Now Water Treatment is home to toxic gas and fumes – Caustic can say it’s there to stop chemicals from the recent ship crash from flooding into the ocean, but he’s never struck me as the type that ca

Maggie, Fuse’s former friend, current rival, is back and causing more havoc with the Apex Legends Walkthrough Games. This time, instead of blowing the place up, she’s launch the Ring Fury Escalation Event. What happens here is that small pockets of “the ring” will pop up all over the map, and will continually expand, meaning that your movements will have to be much more erratic than usual when navigating the landsc
