There’s a reason players call her "Wifeline." Ajay Che is sarcastic and tough, but she’s also a compassionate and caring person. Her choice to be a medic proves she has a good heart. Pair that with a unique sense of style and her musical talents and she’s a total ca

210605-F-F3576-1027.JPGSome people say that a team's reliance on the Pathfinder character is fine because every team can choose to have a Pathfinder on it, which makes it fair to all. This isn’t inherently wrong, but it's still problematic. The game is designed to allow different team compositions to have different tactical advantages when playing together. The fact that teams so frequently rely on Pathfinder signifies an imbalance in the meta at a fundamental le

Such a take on the classic characters is by no means wholesome of family friendly, and it is exactly from there that I ask Côté if the team would consider taking the whole gang of Shaggy, Velma, Daphne, and Fred, and putting a unique Dead by Daylight spin on them as survivors. The answer was a resounding no, though not for any lack of try

I’d love to see a softer side of this character to decide whether she’s kissable. What’s she like on her off days? Is she a whiskey drinker or does she prefer red wine? Maybe beneath that tough exterior, she’s the type who likes to go apple picking in the fall and knit crochet blankets for her friends' bab

The kind of experimentation was clear in the release of the Stranger Things chapter featuring Nancy Wheeler, Steve Harrington, and the Demogorgon. While that series leans less away from horror, Côté explained how positive the release was, "[ Stranger Things ] was by far the biggest release we’ve had in the history of Dead by Daylight , we broke out concurrent user records, and there are more people playing today than there have ever been. And with the Switch release, we just added on top of th

The plastic arms are wide enough to hold any phone and you simply squeeze them onto the phone to hold it. There's a button on the top that releases the phone with a really satisfying click and the ball joint arm lets you adjust your phone to any position you like. I often use my phone as a second screen when I game and I tend to drop it in my lap and lose track of it all the time. Now, I stick it in the mount on the left side of my desk and I can even keep resources like the PlayTFT.com item PS5 Trophy guide up on the screen, and its easier to

The solution isn’t to nerf Pathfinder. It would seem unfair to negatively adjust a longtime character’s core abilities, especially when these abilities are so simple. Doing so would certainly cause backlash within the commun

In total, the pass provided only four new skins, and three of them were unlocked right away at level one. These skins had only the smallest of differences in their paint jobs, leaving most to wonder what the point was of releasing them in the first place. The rest of the items were bland, and in some cases, loot boxes, which frustrate players now more than ever as they do not know what they are receiving and are at the mercy of a random loot table select

Wraith’s the type of person I’d kiss when the mood is exactly right. We’re drinking hot toddies, enjoying a romantic evening of discussing the latest Area 51 conspiracy theories when I decide to plant one on

There are so many characters that seem to fall within a grey zone of being appropriate for Dead by Daylight . This writer would love to see the Aliens franchise represented, with a Xenomorph killer and Ellen Ripley combining a flash light onto a tool box with duct tape, but the idea may simply be too far into the genre of Science Fiction to fit into the game, even if horror elements are pres

I’m a fan of those big brain strategies. But I worry that kissing Crypto means the Solace equivalent of Interpol will come knocking at my door and I’ll be indicted for aiding some cause I don’t even underst

The Anvil Receiver ups the damage for semi-automatic fire on the R301 and Flatline, giving them more utility as marksman rifles. The Double Tap Trigger, perhaps most interestingly, causes the EVA-8 and Scout to fire two round bur

The game differed from other Battle Royale titles in that players were grouped into squads of three, with diverse classes that demand strategy and careful consideration of playstyle, and weapons that were far more accurate than in other games. As a free-to-play game, Apex Legends looked as though it would skyrocket to the top and remain th

When Apex Legends first came out, many agreed Pathfinder was one of the worst characters. While hit box issues were part of the problem, there was also a sense that his abilities didn’t match up to damage-dealing ultimates like Bangalore’s or enhanced health and shield protection like Lifel

I’d make out with Mirage at a bar after a few drinks. I’d probably initiate the kiss because I find him attractive but I'd also want him to stop talking. And, while there’s a piece of me that believes we’d exchange numbers and never talk to each other again, it's more likely that he’d call incessantly, become borderline obsessive and then blow up at me on Twitter after I told him I wasn’t interested in anything seri
