Respawn and EA’s free-to-play shooter Apex Legends has added a new playable character (Legenda) in its lastest season, Arsenal.
The 24th new Legend, Ballistic (full name August Montgomery Brinkman) brings weaponry-based abilities to the team-based battle royale hero shooter. From having an extra gun slot (three instead of two) as a passive to an ultimate that makes the team shoot better, with infinite ammo.
This old dog still has a few tricks up in his sleeves.
Here’s the ability list, with the description as is:
- Passive ability – Sling
- What’s better than two guns? How about three? Ballistic is packing some serious heat as he can store a third weapon in his Sling which can be accessed via Inventory or the Character Utility Action. However, the Sling weapon cannot take attachments, but hey, the more firepower, the better.
- Tactical ability – Whistler
- Opponents need to keep their eyes peeled as Ballistic can shoot a guided projectile that heats up enemies’ guns which cause damage as they shoot. The Whistler may be guided but players will need to hold the Tactical in order for it to lock-on.
- Ultimate ability – Tempest
- Good thing Ballistic is a team player! Activating Tempest near teammates adds faster reloads, faster armed move speed and infinite ammo. As Ballistic is glutton for fashion, Tempest also upgrades the Sling weapon to gold.
Ballistic will be available when Apex Legends: Arsenal, the 17th season for the game, goes live on May 9. The update introduces updates to the World’s Edge Map, a weapon mastery system, an improved firing range, a new battle pass and more.
