Surprisingly good Revenant heirloom idea

The glass elevator shard from the cinematic. It'd actually work tho, it has meaning, could be used as a weapon, and the inspect animation could show Revenant looking into it and seeing himself. Maybe have it so that it glitches and he sees his human half, or something like that.

I saw this in the comment section of the S4 gameplay trailer.

  • @Sir_Named Amazing... you singlehandedly provided the best reason as to why this post deserves dev recognition. Bravo!

    That would be a cool idea. I think, as opposed to others that all heirlooms are already drawn out or thought of at the inception of a character so this would make sense. Based on the lore surrounding our favorite robotic organism it’s likely gonna be the glass shard, the bud of a gun, that floating thingy he plays with (that turns into totem), a data pad or an oversized razor.
  • @Koochi-Q I don't know. I think making the glass shard be an heirloom would just be to easy. All the other legends get something that's actually dangerous and for Rev. their just like "Here's a piece of glass have fun with those painful memories of finding out Hamond Robotics turned you into a robot!". This also could cause Rev. to remember his original mission (destroy Hammond) and focus more on that then the apex games.

    So in conclusion, don't make his heirloom a glass shard because it's dumb (from a fighting standpoint, not a lore standpoint) and because he could remember he has to destroy Hammond.

    P.S We need to keep Hammond alive for more crazy map changes. Maybe they can make an asteroid crash into Kings Canyon?

    @shadowninja5044While I understand the statement, but think about it. Every character has got something their legend is doing while standing still or are ‘known for’. Lifeline drums when standing still so she gets sticks that look like drumsticks. Pathfinder loved grappling and punching enemies, so he gets gloves. My bloodhound loves his crow and seems nordic and what do they love? Axes. That drugged up version of Evil Knievel when standing still does that weird shaking thing... like ppl do who are afraid of needles when they get a shot (lolz?) so he gets a knife in the form of a needle pen like thingy.
    I have no exact idea what rev does when standing still cause I usually have him but I vaguely remember him bending down or something... like he’s looking in the mirror and either shaving... or taking a shard out of his neck! BAM mind blown.

    And all the other legends are wussies... except for bloodhound & caustic. But even Rev puts himself apart from them since he’s an actual serial mass murderer hitman prodigy extraordinaire! Hitman don’t need anything fancy to kill someone. So a glass shard is practical, leaves little trace and is easily obtainable. Just as a hitman warrants.

    @apostolateofDOOM pre or post transformation?! :P

  • @Koochi-Q Pre but I'm the opposite, blonde and blue eyes on the outside, dead merciless killer robot at core, but I prefer your description.

    ''serial mass murderer hitman prodigy extraordinaire!'' xD

    If the glass wasn't dangerous enough, they could always just slap it into some kind of weapon. Or put electricity on it. 

    It doesn't really have to be dangerous though, like Pathfinder's gloves. They aren't exactly the most practical or useful weapons, but it's still an heirloom.
