The latest Apex leaks suggest that the next legend will be a sniper. We’ll introduce you to Vantage and all of her abilities.
In March 2022, a huge bunch of Apex leaks were revealed. We heard about new maps, new modes, and most importantly, new Legends. Nine in number, and one of them, Newcastle, turned out to be the – Season 13 release.
According to a recent video released by Apex Collection, an Apex content creator, the next legend on this list will be Vantage. But who is Vantage, and what does she have?
Who is Vantage?
We don’t know who Vantage is yet, and we don’t really know anything about her story. From the character design, I’d assume she’s a frontiersman/tribesman like Bloodhound, and her gear suggests she was a hunter outside of the games. But like we said, the only details leaked are about her abilities and mechanics, not her lore.
New Apex Legend Vantage: Abilities.
Everything we know about Vantage so far comes from a leaker and YouTube content creator name Apex Collection, so take these details with a grain of salt.
What is Vantage’s Tactical: Echo Launch.
It’s practically a cross between Newcastle’s remote-controlled drone and Loba’s Jump Drive. The Echo Launch is a remote-controlled bird that you release and then propel to a specific position. At your command, you can teleport to your bird’s current location.
Fantastic, who isn’t up for a little more mobility. Every top-notch legend has something in their arsenal that increases Movement, and this ability works especially well because you have so much control over it. It doesn’t have the best range, but it seems to be enough to get you out of most situations.
What is Vantage’s Passive: Sniper Kit.
When you are unarmed or using a sniper sight and hold your crosshairs over enemies, their health and shield percentages are displayed. It’s possible that more information will be displayed at launch, but that’s all we can confirm so far.
This definitely wouldn’t be the strongest passive in the game, not by a long shot, but it wouldn’t be useless either. When deciding whether or not to push, the Sniper Kit may prove valuable. But Vantage will probably be picked more for its tactical ability.
What is Vantages Ultimate: Mark To Kill
This gives you a unique weapon, similar to Rampart’s Ult. The gun’s sights scan enemies and allow Vantage to deal double damage to enemies, while even her teammates get a 15% bonus when they hit the scanned enemies.
This sounds really nice and could be very powerful. But we’ve seen how lame Rampart was with a special weapon as an ult, so we shouldn’t be too hasty until we see it in action.
What is actually… “Apex Legends?
Within 24 hours, “Apex Legends” became the most-watched game on Twitch – after one week, over 25 million people were already playing it. What is the battle royale shooter about?
What is “Apex Legends” about?
Scenario: In a distant future, bandits, adventurers, and outlaws settle their disputes in a sporting contest to the death. The setting is a fertile, industrially developed valley on the edge of the galaxy.
- Genre: Battle Royale shooter
- Game modes: survival battle between a maximum of 20 teams of three.
At its core, “Apex Legends” is a classic battle-royale shooter: up to 60 players land simultaneously in teams of three on the game map called “Kings Canyon” – a densely built-up, fertile valley with many accessible houses, bunkers and towers. Once on the ground, unarmed players must search their surroundings for equipment and ammunition. The goal of the game is to stay alive until the end.
To prevent players from hiding all over the map and waiting to automatically be the last one left, the game area shrinks every few minutes. The longer a round lasts, the smaller the area where survivors can move and hide.
Apex Legends refreshes this now classic game formula with some ideas that are unique to the genre: For example, before starting a round, players select one of eight heroes, each of which has two special abilities and facilitates certain play styles.
Bangalore, for example, is the classic soldier who can conceal her position with smoke grenades and call in an artillery strike in an emergency. The heroine Lifeline, on the other hand, can summon a drone to heal teammates – or directly order the delivery of high-value weapons and equipment via aerial drone. This way, all players can find the right hero for their preferred course of action.
How can I play Apex Legends?
Platform: “Apex Legends” is available for PC, Xbox One and Playstation 4.
Price: The battle royale shooter is a “Free to Play” title and can basically be played for free on all platforms.
In-game purchases: “Apex Legends” allows the purchase of cosmetic items and new heroes either by means of in-game currency, which can be earned for free in every round, or with real money. The real-money currency “Apex Coins” can be purchased in five different amounts: The smallest possible amount is 1000 Apex Points for around 9.99 euros, while the largest pack with 10,000 Apex Points content costs 99.99 euros.
The developer emphasizes that it is not possible to buy game advantages with the help of real money: You can only use it to customize the appearance of the heroes, it says, or purchase new heroes.
Age rating: “Apex Legends” does not have a youth rating (USK 18).
Which technical terms should you know?
Respawn Beacon: If a player is shot down, the team members who are still alive have the opportunity to bring the fallen comrade back into the game: Each eliminated player leaves behind a so-called Respawn Banner, which can be collected by the players of the own team and handed in at one of 28 Respawn Beacons, certain locations on the map. If this succeeds, the fallen player returns to the game.
Jumpmaster: At the beginning of the game, one of the maximum three players of a team always takes on the role of the jumpmaster. He decides when and where his team enters the game area.
Ping: Using the middle mouse button, players can alert their teammates to interesting locations in the game world or enemies. These pings are a valuable tool for communicating quickly and efficiently within the team.
