Whoever secures the scaffolding and ramps surrounding the wreckage can use the higher elevation to execute ambushes on any squads looting below. Moreover, if you manage to find a long-range firearm, like the new 30-30 Repeater, you\u2019ll be able to pick enemies off with ease from afar.

In Kings Canyon, Mirage\u2019s party cruiser floats above the roaring sea. If things go wrong, you can use the wind vents to redeploy somewhere else, but, other than that, it\u2019s a one-way trip into the watery depths. Rise above your adversaries, start the party for the sake of delicious chaos, grab whatever weapon you can (I suppose even an un-kitted Mozambique will do), and claim your rights to the levitating ship and its grand treasures. Third parties are less likely to happen since Mirage Voyage is sectioned off from the rest of the map. Nevertheless, foolish squads might attempt to drop on you from the nearby jump tower, but you\u2019ll spot them from a mile away.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Best Weapon Loadouts<\/h2>\n<p><i>Click image thumbnails to view larger version<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/3cc21b2b\/weapon3.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/933dd8ce\/weapon1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/3cc21b2b\/weapon3.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/933dd8ce\/weapon1.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h3>R-99 SMG or Volt SMG + 30-30 Repeater<\/h3>\n<p>Both the R-99 and Volt appeared in the best weapon loadouts section of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gameinformer.com\/guide\/2020\/11\/09\/your-apex-legends-season-7-guide-to-success\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my Season 7 guide<\/a> a few months ago.

The Alternator (a personal favorite of mine) is also a suitable option seeing as how the seemingly unremarkable SMG has also received a damage buff. And, of course, you\u2019ll have the devastating Mastiff in your back pocket for any unexpected flanks or too-close-for-comfort engagements.<\/p>\n<p><i>Click image thumbnails to view larger version<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/bba4a809\/weapon5.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/6f506950\/weapon6.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/bba4a809\/weapon5.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/09\/6f506950\/weapon6.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h3>R-301 Carbine + Hemlock Burst AR or Hemlock Burst AR + Wingman<\/h3>\n<p>You just can\u2019t go wrong with this first paring \u2013 these rifles worked effectively in Season 7 and that trend has continued into Season 8. If you\u2019re reading this, you\u2019ve likely played Apex before and so the R-301 needs no introduction. The Hemlock, however, has slowly made its way up the loadout popularity chart over the past year and can serve as a suitable substitute for a sniper rifle or primary weapon. And if you\u2019re an accomplished sharpshooter, the Wingman is a great sidearm. Last season, the Quickdraw attachment was an exciting new feature for players that like to ADS with the powerful revolver, but I\u2019d suggest that you grab a Skullpiercer for the Wingman instead.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Best Squad Compositions<\/h2>\n<p><i>Click image thumbnails to view larger version<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/24a12a39\/gibby.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/078e8d55\/wattson.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/8fd1d0f1\/wraith.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/24a12a39\/gibby.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/078e8d55\/wattson.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/8fd1d0f1\/wraith.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h3>Gibraltar + Wattson + Wraith<\/h3>\n<p>I might be a Wattson one-trick, but Gibraltar is by far my favorite legend in the game.

Gibraltar\u2019s talents are often employed at higher levels of play because of his multifaceted kit. The lovable defender can provide indestructible cover for quick heals or dire revives by dropping his &#8220;Dome of Protection.&#8221; And his &#8220;Defensive Bombardment&#8221; airstrike can quickly decimate teams caught out in the open.

Horizon&#8217;s &#8220;Gravity Lift&#8221; can get the\u00a0less-mobile Crypto on\u00a0high ground in the blink of an eye in case he somehow gets cornered, and Octane&#8217;s &#8220;Stim&#8221; supplies him with a huge speed boost that lets\u00a0him quickly\u00a0collapse on EMP-affected targets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><i>Click image thumbnails to view larger version<\/i><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/721168d4\/fuse.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/969b709b\/revenant.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/body_default\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/7752ac48\/lifeline.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" align=\"left\" height=\"100\" border=\"3\" src=\"https\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/721168d4\/fuse.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/969b709b\/revenant.jpg \/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/entity_browser_thumbnail\/public\/2021\/02\/12\/7752ac48\/lifeline.jpg\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n<h3>Fuse + Revenant\u00a0+ Lifeline<\/h3>\n<p>I couldn\u2019t make this guide without including the new legend. While I don\u2019t think Fuse will make any substantial waves in the meta like Horizon continues to do, he\u2019ll definitely be selected in Apex Legends&#8217;\u00a0lower stakes quickplay mode. Fuse\u2019s entire skillset is rendered useless against smart Wattson players, but his ultimate, &#8220;The Motherlode,&#8221; can find some incredible value when dropped on preoccupied teams <span><span>\u2014<\/span><\/span>\u00a0the darn thing can be fired from up to 200 meters away! Simply put, Fuse was designed with third parties in mind and should play a large part in determining how his team will engage in largescale battles. Revenant\u2019s &#8220;Death Totem&#8221; is still a terrifying \u201csecond life\u201d option for when you bombard a team with Fuse\u2019s abilities and want to pick off stragglers without taking serious damage. Finally, the frontier\u2019s most respected medic is there to revive or heal her squadmates in case things don\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Perhaps the most important tip I can give is to commit to whatever playstyle makes you comfortable. Yes, honing mechanics in Apex Legends is undoubtedly important, but that\u00a0first step to becoming successful in the game is all about sticking to what works for you.
