Firefights end up fast-paced in Apex Legends due to the game’s nature of having characters with a wild arsenal of offensive skills, making combat between squads rather short as victory rests in the team who overwhelms the other the fastest. This strategy usually works, at least until one of the teams has a Newcastle on their side. Thanks to this defensive Legend’s toolkit, players have access to convenient shields and even entire walls that can transform a losing battle into an opportunity for an exit or even a fierce counter-attack.
