Uruca, Shibuya HAL and Arisaka Hunt for Wingman Pistols Through a Ranked Apex Legends Night

INDEPENDENT — Uruca played ranked Apex Legends for about three hours on Wednesday alongside Shibuya HAL of Neo-Porte and Arisaka, a session in which the Wingman pistol was the running thread. Shibuya HAL streamed the same matches on his own channel. Early on, the group settled on a Wingman and a shotgun as its weapons, and over the following matches the squad kept looking for the pistol, cheering when one finally turned up. One participant said the point of the night was to run the Wingman as a pair.

The stream opened with rank banter, the group joking about who had been left behind after reaching Platinum, and moved on to which characters are strong this season, with talk that Alter is due for an adjustment and that Lifeline is strong right now. Later, two of the three said they had never been to a stronghold, and the third compared it to an older mini-game in which waves of robots appear and drop gear for whoever beats them. The squad went on to make for its first one, with a participant noting that taking a stronghold upgrades armor.

“Apex is the best, right?” — Uruca, Shibuya HAL and Arisaka, after being swarmed in a building

One match turned chaotic when several squads converged on the building the group was holding. The participants described being attacked from different angles, with drills and grenades arriving in volleys, and afterward laughed it off with an exchange that Apex is the best.

Between fights the talk wandered. One participant claimed that the game’s Godzilla collaboration let players control Godzilla, then admitted to making it up, to the amusement of the others. All three praised the season’s weapon lineup, and joked that gamers complain about the games they play and keep playing anyway. Asked what came next, Arisaka said finishing the story, season and task lists in Escape from Tarkov had left Arisaka burned out.

The squad’s last fight ended in a defeat, and the three said their goodbyes. Shibuya HAL closed the stream on that channel by saying he hoped to keep playing ranked with a range of partners this season. Uruca stayed on, talking about what to play on days without Apex, and signed off by saying tomorrow was undecided, possibly Apex.
