New Legend IDEA

What if there was a "cheater" champ? I was inspired by all the recent news from hackers and cheaters in game. I think it be pretty cool .. You could call him Crypto ( like crypto currency) or maybe Black Hat ( a term for a bad like mean, hacker)

His back story could be something simple - like he just came to Apex Legends to reap the rewards of the games that come a long with winning, and he hacks things by whatever means necessary to win. Or maybe it could be more complex... adding to the depth of the lore. Something, like he has decided to team up with Wraith to find out her origin from the secret labs, said to be hidden underneath King's Canyon, He just wants one thing from Wraith, and that is to get close enough to Pathfinder so he can hack into the Robot to gain the knowledge he holds from the greatest scientist of all time ( Pathfinder's creator).

His passive could be something like the ability to tell where the next care package drop will be on his mini map? ( game drop only, not from players like lifeline) His Utility could be scramble, where he can "disable" or make the enemy team's ping system and radar go down for a short period of time. You could use this with not only disguising on players maps the location of the next care package for a short time, but you can also disable the communication of the ping system and potentially disrupt the coordination of the enemy team.

His ultimate ability could be called "Jailbreak" like jailbreaking phones etc... and upon activation near a care package, supply bin, or loot bot... you can preview the loot inside by using the trigger near a loot area. If you don't like the loot inside you can "activate the ability once more to Re-roll the loot inside for the chance for higher tier loot, obviously the draw back of the ability so its not OP - would be that sometimes you can actually make your loot WORSE from a RR and if the first activation of your ultimate will eventually restart the countdown for you ultimate back up again if it is not used to RR after a short period of time.... so that you can prevent people from whoring this ability by going around to every chest just to preview.

  • Love them they are great ideas. And we'll balanced imo. Your post won't get many replies though. You should have put "damn this hacker" as title everyone would have been all over it!

    i like most of theese ideas,

    and this is one of them.

    not bad, not bad at all.

  • I know right! 

    I should have put something like that... Anyways... I don't just like this idea because its my idea... but I'd love to see a legend like this in game.. It could be extremely useful to have on any team dynamic and would fit in well, whether you have a pure support team, or you have two squad mates who are hardcore assault and you can assist in confusing the enemy team so they can rack up kills... I really want Respawn to look into a legend like this.. I think it would be pretty unique especially in Royale games period, I don't know if a character like this exists in other forms like this. 

    Well,
    Thanks for the feedback guys !

  • Hi @Peaked_Panda and welcome to the forums!

    Thanks for sharing your suggestion. It's always nice to read other players ideas for Legends.

    The only downside I can foresee with your "cheater champ" 🤨 is that he would be banned immediately along with all the other cheats. 😃

    Seriously though, I think most people find the subject of hacking rather tedious. I'm not sure that a "cheater champ" is going to have much appeal.

    Presumably, with all the time he spends in his mom's basement hacking he wouldn't be very athletic. Plus, not being in the Sun enough might make him a tad anaemic. Not the best traits for doing epic sci-fi style battle.

    Good luck with that, though. 🤞

  • Hi there, I really enjoy and like what your doing. I was thinking about the types of characters in your game as a whole and noticed there is no character that can deal head on damage, head on confrontation, a character I could imagine in Apex to some relation could be an engagement legend, it is just a suggestion as it would bring new play to Apex. Thank you for all you've done and wish the best of luck, though if one character could be introduced it would be a revenant, would be a great addition to the legend arsenal, deploy a specter to hunt other players. Even if it's not revenant himself a character of similar traits can do. Thank you for all you have done keep up with the great.
