Apex Legends’ Gundam event is far more fun than it has any right to be. While I would have preferred some new Titanfall lore if we’re getting mechs, the wrecked Gundam suits strewn across the game’s Broken Moon map are suitably epic, and the Buster Rifle is a fun weapon for casual modes. Just two weeks ago, popular streamer Mikkel ‘Mande’ Hestbek managed to achieve two million damage during a single match with the weapon in a private lobby filled with his subscribers. I’m not saying this may have led to the game’s new Vortex Shields, but the event’s similar Bit Staves may have planted an idea in the developers’ heads.
