Why Apex Legends is the Best Battle Royale Game

When it was released on the 4th of February of this year, Apex Legends took the gaming world by storm. The game enjoyed immense popularity, boosted by many famous Twitch streamers like Shroud, xQc, and Seagull, and it seemed like everyone was playing it. The game is still going strong, although the initial hype of the release faded a bit, there are still plenty of players playing it. Let's see what makes Apex Legends the best Battle Royale Game.

1) The interesting characters

Compared to the other Battle Royale Games, Apex Legends offers an interesting cast of characters. You will love Mirage's ego, or maybe you are more of a Caustic type, with his cold-hearted scientific approach to life, or maybe you will fall in love with Octane's insane demeanor. If you don't care about personality, each character also offers variations on the classical gameplay. Pathfinder is very mobile and can help his team move around the map and position themselves on the high ground. Lifeline is great at supporting her team with her healing drone and her special package. Try all the characters out, and you will find someone that suits your playstyle!

2) The movement options

This is the biggest thing that separates Apex Legends from the other Battle Royale Games. The gameplay is all about moving quickly while shooting. Standing still is a death sentence, so be sure to master all the movement options of the game. Some characters even have mobility abilities of their own, for example, Pathfinder can create ziplines, that allow you to move quickly from one point to another, and Wraith can place portals that quickly allow you to teleport from one to the other. Even if your character does not have abilities focused on helping you move around, you can still slide down hills, climb on top of most things, and use ziplines, so you always have multiple options when you want to go from point A to point B.

3) The weapon system

Instead of having weapons of different rarities, making the game way too much RNG based, you will be able to easily find any weapon in the game (excluding the golden ones that come from care packages). What will change is the quality of the attachments you will find when looting. Attachments improve your weapon by making it shoot faster, more accurately, or by giving it a bigger magazine. While it is true that some attachments are better than others, they only make weapons marginally better, so finding them or not doesn't mean you will lose or win your next gunfight.

All of these factors contribute to making Apex Legends the best Battle Royale Game out there at the moment. The game is fast-paced, fun, and rewarding, and the various abilities enhance the tactical aspect of the gameplay. The developers work hard to update it and add more content, and they actively listen to the community. Trying it out won't cost you a dime, as the game is free to download and play on the Origin client.
