Meet Vantage | Apex Legends Character Trailer
What do you think of her ? For me, I'm not sniper guy, I like close and personal so she is not my type. I will try few time then pass.
Forum Discussion
Sniper is my least used weapon type so I don’t know yet until I get the chance to play as her.
edit: Rewatched all the season 14 trailers. I know this isn’t as important as how she plays but she’s kinda boring personality wise and her mother seems to be more interesting than her. Her mother is even the narrator in this new trailer. Don’t forget that a lot of people main a certain legend because of the personality of a legend alone.
I don't know, spotters lens combined with a sentinel might actually allow me to finally hit those long shots.
- @Kyldenar Lmao I'm the worst at long range sniping, so I'm hoping it might help me out too
- @Cheese9Man Maybe this is just a filler character so that they can bring in her mom with some sort of connection? I really don’t think this character is as well developed (personality wise). That is the main reason I like playing caustic, his personality fits perfectly with his abilities, and makes for some cool and cinematic gameplay, even tho his abilities aren’t any where near as good as (insert any legend but crypto here).
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.
- @HappyHourSumwur What if, fuse and bloodhound kill her, like rev did to forge… would love to see that!
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.
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. 🤣
- @Cheese9Man I am now gonna go in any thread like this and ask, "Vantage? Is that you?"
- @Cheese9Man Thanks for this information Cheese! Question, her passive - will she be able to identify targets through walls, rocks, buildings, foilage etc... or only in clean line of sight?
Also - her Ultimate - is this similar to Mad Maggie whereas once she hits a legend she gets a reveal on them? 10 seconds ( is a considerable amount of time)
I don't understand the reasoning for her teammates to hit additional damage because they have been revealed by Vantage. So basically, the entire team can hit additional damage once hit by Vantage for 10 solid seconds?
I have to say, I am slightly put off by more reveal meta in this game.
I miss the days where Bloodhound was the only one with reveal abilities (balanced I felt back then) - where you could out maneuver your opponent, out position them, out think and use strategy (critical think your way through a fun GUN fight. This reveal meta has completely removed these fun kinds of game sense used and needed in a first person shooter.
What I would give for a proper balanced game where no matter what legend you choose, everyone is on a equal playing field. Nobody should feel the need to pick one specific Legend to be able to compete.
Put I'll save judgement for when she launches and try her out. But the reveal meta IMO is just breaking the game slowly.
Cheese - any news on the G7 returning this new season?- @NickBeam27 The 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.
@Cheese9Mani am actually excited about having a pet bat , I love bats 🙂
- @maximas1986 🧐😳🧐😳
- Ultimate: Sniper’s Mark
- @Cheese9Man I think you're judging too quickly. You haven't heard many of her lines yet lol. I will def play her as I do like sniping. I feel she'll be stronger than NC & Maggie on drop. Her name makes her seem like a recon Legend but I don't feel she has any real recon abilities. Mostly she's a marksman.
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.
