🦇 Suggestion: Let Echo Use Echolocation for Brief Scanning

Hey Respawn team and Apex community,

I’ve been playing a lot of Vantage lately and really love her design and sniper-focused gameplay. That said, I feel like she still struggles to compete with other recon or offensive Legends in terms of consistent utility — especially when not using her sniper rifle.

⚖️ The Problem

Other recon legends like Bloodhound, Seer, and even Crypto offer team-wide scan advantages that reveal enemy positions, health states, and movement through walls. Vantage’s Sniper’s Mark is solid but only shines at long range, and Echo is mostly used for repositioning — he lacks recon value.

💡 The Idea: Echo’s Echolocation

To give Vantage a more unique and thematic support tool, what if Echo could use echolocation — just like real bats do?

▶️ Ability Concept: “Echolocation Pulse”Activate Echo to emit a short-range pulse (10–15m radius).

  • Briefly highlights enemies (1–2 seconds max).
  • No wallhacks – it only scans line-of-sight or near Echo.
  • 30–45 second cooldown to keep it balanced.

This wouldn’t replace any current ability — just add a small recon function to Echo, which fits both Vantage’s style and her lore as a tracker.

  • That is a really cool idea.

    She can already use the beacons to scan for enemies too don't forget.  It should be maybe buffed like Sparrow so if she shoots the beacon she gets in the info (Sparrow just needs to hit it with a dart to activate it from range which is super useful).
