Give the woman some heavy weapons
Apex Legends Season 6 launches in two days, and compared to the modifications of the map and new weapon, the biggest potential shakeup to the meta between seasons is always the new character. In a character trailer released today, Respawn has definitely provided more granular details about Rampart’s capabilities.
As expected, Rampart’s tactical ability allows its coverage of walls that can be sent through in one direction, but there’s a twist: outgoing dismissals are directed, dealing more damage than normal. It turns out they can place three walls in quick succession, one for each legend on a standard team. Her latest was also expected to be the mounted machine gun Sheila, although the trailer adds that it has a long reload time, implying that it has limited ammunition.
The one piece of the puzzle where we’ve been in the dark is their passive ability, and it turns out that it’s been a quiet crash for us for a week now. Limited Time Mode Always Be Closing Evolution introduced the graffiti mod for the Spitfire, which increases its magazine size and reloads speed. It turns out that in principle Rampart’s passive ability was in a mod, because she has a natural skill with light machine guns, and those stats for the Spitfire, Devotion and L-Star bulge. This skill also extends to Sheila, so while anyone can use the mounted gun, Rampart will be the best with it.
