Meet Rampart - Rampart Abilities Explained

Passive Ability - Modded Loader

Rampart's light machine guns reload quicker and have a higher overheat recovery time. They also have extended magazine capacities and more bullets can be fired before overheating.

Tactical Ability - Amped Wall

Place a shield which blocks incoming fire and boosts outgoing fire damage. Up to 3 can be out at the same time.

Ultimate Ability - Emplaced Machine Gun "Sheila"

Place a heavy mounted machine gun that can be used by anyone.

Ramya "Rampart" Parekh joins our beloved group of Legends with the launch of Season 6 on August 17 10pm PT.

After her shop was burned to the ground, Ramya was invited by Kuben Blisk to join the Apex Games, where she now competes for a living.

She uses her gun modding skills to enhance light machine guns, provides cover for her squad while simultaneously boosting their firepower, and sends her opponents running for cover with her powerful mini gun turret "Sheila".

Rampart will seemingly be BROKEN if combined with Wattson and Caustic/Gibraltar! Can you imagine seeing amped walls and that machine gun combined in a fenced off area, with an Interceptor and Gas Traps? Here's hoping Crypto's EMP will be able to destroy her walls and potentially the turret.

Although I'm sure her kit will be balanced in some way. If not, good luck Ranked games and people trying to get to the next Ring...

    @hayhor There are many counters to Rampart, including

    - Ordnance (grenades, Caustic+Bangalore+Gibraltar Ult) although can be countered easily by a Wattson ult

    - Domes (can be used offensively. If close enough, throw it on them to stop fire from coming out)

    - EMP (should be able to destroy Rampart shields, possibly even the mini gun)

    - A third-partying Wraith/Revenant/Crypto squad (Wraith makes a portal near their base, Revenant ults, Crypto EMP's, shadows rush in for chaos)

    And more that I've forgotten.

    I remember thinking Loba was going to be OP before she was released because her Tactical looked cool as hell and for some reason I thought that her Passive would highlight players through walls as long as the had high tier loot on them. Turned out she is kinda underwhelming after release.

    Same thing here, we just have to wait to see how it plays out. The abilities in principal sound good, but we don't know numbers yet. Maybe the damage amplified by the Amp has a mere 1.1x multiplier. Maybe the Amp wall is not like Gibraltar's dome and can be taken down by gunfire. Maybe the minigun is kinda crap. Who knows.

    @MandatoryIDtag Petition to give Rampart at least 1 voice line that references Tiny Tina. Maybe when she throws a grenade, there's a chance she will say "Badonkadonk out" or something.

    @hayhor I would assume so, since in the trailers and videos, her shield color changes. I assume blue = full, orange or red = almost empty.

    I hate ramparts passive, I personally don’t think getting a buff by using a specific weapon type is good game design... it basically forces players to only use LMG or forfeit a passive all together. Personally I enjoy the R301 or the VOLT SMG but if a spitfire is laying on the ground next to either of these weapons I sigh and feel forced to pick it up (the devotion is garbage without turbocharger and L-STAR doesn’t feel like it does enough damage for the amount of shots you land)
