Re: Meet Vantage | Apex Legends Character Trailer

I don't know, spotters lens combined with a sentinel might actually allow me to finally hit those long shots.

How about somebody kills off the daughter and her mom enters the Apex games and she is pissed?  I'd like that much better than a silly teenager.

More details from IGN (https://sea.ign.com/apex-legends/188709/news/apex-legends-season-14-hunted-full-details-on-vantage-kings-canyon-and-weapon-changes)

• Ultimate: Sniper’s Mark
  • Vantage has her own Sniper Rifle (like Rampart’s LMG Sheila) that will mark targets she hits
  • Her Sniper Rifle will dish 50 damage but marked targets will take 100 damage from her rifle and Vantage’s teammates can deal additional damage when the target is marked as well.
  • The mark on a target will only last 10 seconds and will not extend through walls or cover, it is strictly a line of sight mark.
  • Vantage’s ultimate does not have to be fully charged for her to use it, unlike Rampart’s Sheila. Vantage’s sniper rifle can be used at any time as long as the ultimate charge has loaded enough bullets. The fully loaded Sniper Rifle will have five total bullets.
  • Ultimate Accelerants will charge her ultimate 35% (which is about two bullets)

• Passive: Spotter’s Lens
  • Vantage can identify targets on the ground for herself and zoom in while unarmed and with no scopes
• Tactical: Echo Relocation
  • Vantage throws out her bat friend in any direction she likes and can launch to where Echo is and double jump once she gets to where Echo is.
  • The cooldown for her tactical is the actual jump itself, Echo can be thrown out in any direction at any time but Vantage cannot jump until the cooldown is reset.
  • Echo can be canceled, or recalled, at any time.

I have been waiting a long time for a sniper type legend and I am excited to try her out. 

She could be great or Meh we will just have to wait and find out.

Here’s more lore around Vantage. “She lacks basic social skills, and doesn’t care about good manners”

So she’s basically like every other person who created a thread in this website complaining about being banned by the ToS team for toxicity. 🤣

@NickBeam27The G7 is returning with the double tap hop up on the ground. Shattercaps and tempo are vaulted for now since the Bocek will go into the CP.

In the earlier builds of Vantage, the scan is still present even behind walls (like BH and Seer) but was recently changed. Yes you are correct. Once “tagged” by her ult, your teammates will deal additional damage.

Season 14 will change the meta leaning towards the mid-long range fights. Here’s why:
- Skullpiercer back in the game for the longbow, wingman, and this time also for the 30-30.
-G7 ground loot
- New legend revolves around snipers so at least the first few weeks they’ll be playing around that style.

On the other hand, the short range meta also will receive an improvement with the volt coming out of the CP. The Eva-8 also got a huge buff with increased fire rate and also getting doubel tap back.

I agree that there should not be that singular legend that if you don’t have on the team, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage. This is Seer (bloodhound 2.0), Valk and maybe Gibby to a point.

Just an added note on the sniper topic. I love using the charge rifle but it is so dumb. It’s easy to use and you don’t even have to think about bullet drops. In my opinion, the charge rifle should be buffed and the OG charge rifle should return but place it in the carepackage (even though the kraber is there already). 

@Cheese9Mani am actually excited about having a pet bat  , I love bats 🙂

I'll say this about her. Her kit is cool IMO. The ult is def different cuz you can't use ult accel to fill up her shots. Some of her voice lines & personality are a little dry but I get it. She didn't grow up around people. But still I feel like some of the voice line should have a bit more to them. Also her skins aren't doing any favors with the indigenous thing I was talking about earlier. They give me Horizon Zero Dawn vibes. Banuk tribe in particular.
