The Kraken also just feel great to wear. The cooling gel-infused ear cushions keep you cool while under pressure, but are also easy enough to clean, should it need it. The headset is light, but packs an incredibly powerful punch. Given that the headset is cross-platform compatible, you can rest assured that your headset investment will be well-worth

Another idea relates back to the reason for the hack itself. Because the original hack gave Crypto a way to determine a character's win odds in any game, it's possible that the security breach required the team to move the games due to the corrupted sys

His last name Nox is a clever play on NOx which is a noun for oxides of nitrogen, more specifically as pollutants in the atmosphere. As someone who relies on toxic fumes to overcome his enemies, it's a great way to tie-in his defining characteristics back into his n

Hacker savant Crypto is all about surveillance, and his intelligence-gathering abilities give even Bloodhound's a run for their money. He can deploy and control an airborne drone to scout and mark enemies, and his ultimate allows it to produce a powerful EMP blast that stuns enemies, damages shields, and destroys traps over an impressively large rad

A word of caution for those who might be ready to upgrade their setup. If you’ve never used professional esports-level gear like this before, there will be a bit of an adjustment period. The sensitivity and responsiveness of the Viper and Hunstman were unlike anything I’ve ever played on before, but soon became second nature. As long as you’re willing to put in the time to learn the ins-and-outs of your new gear, you’ll soon see just how advantageous Razer’s newest products can be in regards to your gamep

The kindest way to describe the current state of Apex Legends is that it has destroyed its own potential in its pending death by a thousand cuts. One indicator of a game’s popularity is its viewership numbers on Twitch , which tell a story of how interested people are in watching the game's content. Although not representative exactly of the number of players in the game, we can see a steady decline over the past six mon

Caustic was born on the planet known as Gaea. It was home to Humbert Labs, the premier manufacturer of pesticides for the Frontier crops, and Caustic's future employer. Gaea is located in The Outlands which means Caustic's venture onto Solace and into the Apex Games wasn't too far of a space t

Once again, we need to compare this to Fortnite , the dominant Ps5 game previews in the genre, which treats its consumers with far more respect. There is nothing random about purchasing items in that game. The item shop shows exactly what one will receive, theoretically leaving players satisfied with their purchase, and not let down at the randomness that comes with loot bo

With the announcement of the Iron Crown Packs, players seem to have hit their limit of consumer exploitation. As a limited-time event, players only have a small window to collect that cosmetics that they may want, of which there are 24. Each player can complete a set of tasks to be awarded two of these packs, but the remainder cost about $7 each in real mo

It has to be admitted that the Alternator was just a wee bit overpowered with the Disruptor Rounds attachment, though the removal of the Skullpiercer is a little more difficult to justify. Regardless, for better or worse, these hop-ups seem to be out of rotation for the sea

The Razer Kraken Tournament Edition Headset goes above and beyond to fill that need. The headset is the first gaming headset to introduce THX Spatial Audio, which aims to increase players’ in-game awareness to have the upper hand on the playing field. With the Kraken, you’d have to try pretty darn hard to ignore the in-game surrounding environment. Approaching enemy footsteps come through clear as day. The audio control device that can be attached to the headset allows players to adjust game and chat audio on the fly, while also controlling the bass and THX spatial audio tog

You'll also be able to easily tell which areas have been picked over and which ones haven't. This can save you a lot of time sifting through useless junk if your squad is in need of upgrades, or perhaps even better, save your squad a fight they're not prepared for if another team's already looting an a

Finally, one of the most impressive features of the keyboard is its onboard memory, allowing players to activate up to five of their keyboard configurations while on-the-go. This can also be achieved via cloud storage, but a localized memory at least allows for offline p

Upon taking the Razer Viper out of its box, I immediately fell in love. The lightweight mouse - coming in at a weight of 69g - feels durable enough to withstand frantic motion and heavy-handed clicking, while the comfortable side grips ensure that I won’t need to worry about my thumb accidentally sliding at an inopportune in-game mom
