It's an incredibly useful weapon if you're caught in a pinch unable to find the ammo you want - just switch modes, grab what you can find and go. The unique thing about this bad boy, however, is that it can take either light or heavy ammo. A Titanfall throwback, this gun is a full-auto SMG with a super speedy firerate, but pretty bad recoil. I don't wanna see any more maps that are just dusty floors with concrete walls.Īnother big addition this season is the CAR SMG. And like, they're not gloomy beaches either! They're gorgeous, sunny and genuinely pleasant to look at. First Valorant added Breeze, and now Apex gets Stormpoint. I have to say, I'm over the moon that a couple of my favourite shooters have made beachy maps.

They could make an excellent distraction in the middle of a firefight, just shoot some eggs near your enemies and watch the chaos unfold. They'll only pop out if an egg is damaged, and they again drop loot when killed.

Spiders won't attack you randomly like the prowlers, and are instead holed up inside eggs. Importantly, it's not so much damage that you could farm them to completely beast up your shields, but it could be the tiny percentage you need to get it to the next level. Killing them drops you smart loot (stuff that's useful to the weapon you used on them) and counts as a little bit of damage for your evo shields. Prowlers live in these ant nest-looking things, and will hop out when players are around. The island is home to the viscious dog-like aliens, prowlers, as well as some rather territorial spiders. Stormpoint isn't all sandy beaches and fun new gimmicks though. Look at how bright! Who needs a holiday when you have video games, eh? What can I say? Zooming through the air is great! Much more fun that the usual skydiving. Admittedly, I spent a lot more time than I probably should have hopping in and out of these during my hands on preview. You have a little bit of air control, letting you dodge traps enemies might've laid on the other side, and you have full control of your weapons and abilities. Step inside one, and you'll be launched through the air towards another cannon.

It has something better: gravity cannons. Unlike the other three maps, Stormpoint doesn't have any redeploy balloons.
