Brief outline of the game
Apex is cooperative shooter and battle royale-style online game. Users can form-up into small squads consisting of up to 3 players. Matches are capped at 60-players. Players on the same squad work together to defeat the other squads.
Content specific issues
Players can use a range of modern military weapons such as pistols, sniper rifles, automatic guns, frag grenades and knives. Successful hits from a firearm will degrade the health a character over time and is indicated by some splattering of blood and a reduction in the characters health gauge. Once this reaches a critical point, they will become immobile and eventually die and respawn or are revived by a team mate. Finisher cut scenes provide the best examples of realistic looking violence, although powerful looking the effects are not classed as very strong violence.
