Apex Legends’ new character: here’s what we know about it

Apex Legends is one of the most popular free-to-play battle royale-hero shooter games. It was developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. In the latest update of Apex Legends, a new character was introduced. Vantage's real name is Xiomara Mara Contreras she is 18 years old making her the youngest legend yet. Vantage was born on the wild ice planet Págos, where she was raised alone by her mother, Xenia. She is a sniper and has a bat named Echo to help her out in some situations. Her kit specializes in mobility and recon. Her tactical ability allows her to move from one place to another quickly with the help of echo. Vantage proved gifted with a sniper rifle from the moment she was big enough to look through the scope and reach the trigger at the same time. It was also stated that Vantage memorized a scavenged copy of the Encyclopedia Outlandica that helped her to understand the world outside the place where she was raised.

Vantages abilities:

Like other Legends, Vantage also has three abilities a passive, a tactical, and an ultimate ability.

Passive ability: Vantage's passive ability is Spotter's Lens which allows her to aim downwards while aiming a medium or long-range scope or while being unarmed to gather information on opponents. This ability also works with the 2x HCOG Bruiser and all higher-magnification optics. When zooming in on opponents, the player will be able to see what legend they are, what color their shield is, and the distance away they are. Pinging them will impart this data to your teammates. Spotter's Lens also gives Vantage a projectile drop marker that shows where her shots will land at various distances. It's a useful instrument while sniping or utilizing mid-range firearms, as it lets the player know how high they want to intend to hit their mark.

Tactical ability: Vantage's tactical ability is known as Echo Relocation. When this ability is activated, her bat Echoes to a specific location within her sight, where he will wait for further directions. The bat can be repositioned or recalled at any time. Once the bat is in the position where Vantage wants him to be the player can then rocket jump to Echo's location as long as the bat is in sight of Vantage. Echo Relocation is useful when the player is trying to get to a higher perch to see a more extensive area of territory and this ability works better when it's paired with Antages passive ability which is Spotters Lens.

Ultimate ability: Vantage's ultimate ability is known as Sniper's mark. This ability can be stored up to five charges and each of the charges contain a single shot. Opponents who are hit by its shots take 50 damage and are marked which means they will take more damage from Vantage and teammates. As long as Vantage's ultimate has one charge she can fire a shot.
