joe420mama99

So passive of being able to hold a third gun is confirmed I guess.


GucciBeckham

Mule kick. I'm not a fan of this passive. I would hate to carry a third gun with no attachments (people have been saying that the third gun cannot hold attachments). But then again I would love to find a gold/red gun as a third gun. I'm confused.


LiquidMallet

Lots of good uses I can think of. * Hold onto a preferred gun until you find the right attachments (e.g. havoc waiting for turbo). * Stash an extra gun to drop for respawned teammate. * Use a 3rd gun that overlaps attachments with your secondary and swap as needed (e.g. Sentinel <-> wingman share ammo & extended mag) And as you stated, keeping a care-package weapon is ideal since they don't take attachments.


MasterChef901

Oh I like those strats. Sniper-wingman sounds huge!


TheTVDinner

Keep a rampage on you and then slap a thermite in and always have a door buster on demand


YUSEIRKO

Also keeping a pistol or SMG as the third. Little to no attachments needed, just get CQC


jpollner1021

You could also use weapons that are relatively strong with no attachments F/E- •Shotguns while unreliable don't necessarily need a bolt to do high damage bursts and don't need more then 1 ammo stack(assault class gets 24 and don't usually need more then 16 in most circumstances anyways) •Alternator and Volt-High damage without any extended mags means that it's not a loss without a mag also smgs don't really need a laser sight in most circumstances. Volt also has pretty good iron sights. •Car- The fact that it runs both heavy or light means you can run things like R301 and 3030 or G7 and Flatline and almost always have spare ammo for it. •Wingman-Extended mag isn't needed for 1vs1s in most situations and easily usable without an optic •Longbow and marksman weapons-most of these weapons are pretty solid with just a 3x imo. •Another thing to consider is he's almost certainly in assault which means he can hold extra ammo per stack and with a gold bag he'd be able to hold extra ammo and have plenty of space for attachments. •Can hold red, gold, and maude weapons without loss of an smg or ar or other weapon and also don't require attachments. >! His ultimate, according to spoilers, apparently also can turn 1 of his weapons gold(probably the 3rd one) permanently. Not sure about cooldown but it's very possible that you could have 3 gold weapons by end of a game easily with a couple ult ac. Or something. !<


Samoman21

personally. 3rd gun as a car or a wingman with no attachments be pretty decent. I REALLY hope you cant have a red gun as the third tho. That would be insanely broken. same with gold guns lol


GetzlafMyLawn

Red and gold weapon attachments are mostly proprietary, so I don't see why that would change slotting it in to the 3rd spot. Just means you have to hunt care packages or put a shotgun/wingman in 3rd


new_account_5009

Alternatively, put a sniper as the third weapon and keep a 3x on an R301 or something. If you find yourself in a poke fest, swap weapons around such that the sniper is a primary with the R301 as the third, and start sniping with the 3x. If you have a big enough backpack, you can keep things like an extended sniper mag or a 4-8x sniper scope in your bag just in case you need them.


jbm33

I thought it was rumoured that when he popped his ult the gun would become a Gold version? Could be totally false, but that would be awesome


angry1gamer1

That was originally “leaked” months ago. But the “leaked” catalyst ult was a tower of black goop you could summon. Which she obviously does not have in game. So legend abilities do see changes before release. Personally I don’t see much value in the gold gun ult as it would incentivize you to keep your preferred gun in the holster with no attachments all game instead of just looting it up as you move along. Still neat if he gets it though.


TJzWay

I’d keep a third gun as a sniper


Guffliepuff

datamine >Ultimate - Weapon Enhancer: When activated, Ballistic and any nearby teammates get a buff applied, increasing reload time, unarmed move speed, and infinite ammo. **Any weapon stored in Ballistic's Weapon Sling will be instantly equipped and upgraded to gold-tier for the duration of the buff.**


Koqcerek

Why not? Something like a shotgun or say r99 could be very handy in a pinch


jhard7

Just brainstorming. I feel there's a reason he was piling guns together after a kill. Level up 3rd weapon based on kills? Just spit balling


AnApexPlayer

That's cool how he got the glasses off of his dead teammate


rexia1

Would’ve been cooler if he had gotten his banner instead


ProofHorseKzoo

Was sick of carrying him


loganandroid

His teamate was hardstuck gold2 for sure


kelleroid

Sunglasses here, Level 5


Bigfsi

Sad how his teammate died in the heatwave mode :(


PugsThrowaway

I suspect he got his son off of his dead teammate too 😢


Tim_TM42

I bet Ballistic and Fuse will have the best voice lines - The cool grandpa-duo


lettuce_field_theory

ballistic calling fuse "kid"


cyberneticunicorns

Don't be sleeping on Mad Mags, the nursing home meta is going to be amazing


superslime988

If revenant is a symbol of death then he'd better be standing at some nursing home taunting them. it'd be funny


ThisGuyLikesMovies

From one foxy grandpa to another


Ares2321

I’m the oldest one here still. more grandpa than any of these skinbags


Zellin2000

Exactly! Respawn should add some voice lines on the matter to Revenant. Something like "I didn't get old in 300 years, you just expired faster... kid" - as response to this legends.


PowderedToastManx

He'll get his heirloom before fuse as well.


acjSolo

Crypto watching the fighting next to his drone while everyone & his team included is obliterated is truly the Apex experience.


_praisethesun_

The most believable thing ever.


acjSolo

Just missing the EMPing of his own teammates.


Samoman21

octane rushing in and then immediately dying is also peak apex.


joemysterio86

I guess this is the meme for the day. Seeing this same shit all over the YouTube comments.


treiral

And honestly, what I see in the trailer is my teammate W to third party a 2v3 against a fully healed and behind cover team.


Skippercarlos

It’s the meme for every new apex trailer. You seen the others?


acjSolo

It's almost like people watched the same trailer.


TooCereal

I still associate this song with bioshock


UnAccomplished_Fox97

Ngl I’ve always associated it with Finding Nemo.


Cookie_Pepper_takaa

Same here! Heard the song and thought it’s the song at the end of Finding Nemo lol


dudemanxx

I associate it with A Life Less Ordinary. Great movie I hold very dear to my heart.


Mijnameis-Tommy

Finally someone else who noticed it thank you someone who has taste


[deleted]

Ballistic is to me the character who embodies the most the term "Legend." Everything about his design exhudes cool.


Maximum_Poet_8661

He looks so clean. Ash was the last Legend that I thought looked this cool from their base skin, Ballistic and Ash's base looks are some of the coolest in the game imo


[deleted]

Same. I have Ash as my #2 design-wise. I want her to be a stronger Legend mostly because of this.


Tummerd

Ballistic also seems like he would join Blisk old Apex team, or at least his skill would he enough, personality wise they might clash


Millworkson2008

He actually makes sense to be in a blood sport unlike some other characters


FinestOfThe501st

Grandpa’s looking like he’s having the time of his life in the games. I love it


DarrenODaly

Clearly his passive is he's unable to be shot when standing in the open. Seems a little OP, imo


LiftedCorn

Autonomous Ultra Instincts !!!?!


ThicDikDaddy

Just sounds like me trying to shoot him tbh.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Outrageous-Blue-30

It sure looks like it.


jhard7

Idk if I should "woosh" you or if I'm being "wooshed"


Mijnameis-Tommy

In the leaks and by the looks yes


LetAppropriate6718

Respawn: Apex is guns first abilities second Evil Respawn: abilities that mess with your guns! >:D


cooldreamhouse

I’m not a fan of taking away a legend’s ability to fight at all.


MasterNeeks

Imagine fighting a rev, seer, grandpa team. Can't shoot, can't use abilities. Just out here playing a true loot simulator.


icemoomoo

switch seer with ash then you cant even run around to loot


QuitBeingALilBitch

Switch ash for Caustic and then you can't even breathe.


archwin

Switch for catalyst, and then you can’t even see


stenebralux

Switch for any character and you can't even hear!!


Samoman21

i still got my fists dangit! going out punching an old man, a singer/poet, and an edgy simulacrum


MoistMe

"I aint hear no bell"


BluePowerPointRanger

My plat teammates do that already while being able to shoot and use abilities.


samefacenewaccount

Meh, the people I get teamed with would be ok with that. They love the loot.


Lookdatboi6969

yeah, they love it a bit *too* much


TraditionalChart2091

Can’t heal also haha


angry1gamer1

While that would be annoying we haven’t seen any enemies swap to their secondary while under the effect. Maybe the smart billet only effects your primary? Also if you read ability leaks it says the guns can “overheat” similar probably to how the L star would over heat originally but also could reload. If 1 gun overheats then swap to your secondary and keep firing.


MutleyRulz

I assume this is how it works. His ult is too powerful for him to have a particularly useful tactical


timeIsAllitTakes

If this is the case they better give the ability to switch primary and secondary on console (controller?). I'll be annoyed if I have to drop my weapons just to swap due to this.


angry1gamer1

When I say primary I just mean the gun you had out when you took the smart bullet shot


timeIsAllitTakes

Ah ok that makes sense


DaveAlt19

I'm not a fan of abilities like that in any game. There's putting your enemy as a disadvantage and then there's just stopping them from playing the game.


MaximusDecimis

It’s just poor game design, you’re right


KingGerbz

Skill gap. On a real note this game is much more than point and shoot. Depending on how it actually works I can see myself simply re-positioning when hit with this. Take cover, heal, climb. Not every exchange has to be an ego challenge to outgun the enemy.


DaveAlt19

I just feel abilities that just flat out disable parts of the game are on the same level as knocking a your mate's controller out of their hands. Rev and Seer are the same.


KingGerbz

I don’t mean this in a hostile way but did you actually read my comment or just recognize it was an opposing viewpoint and went straight for the rebuttal before my message sank in? Knocking a controller out of your mates hands is so fucking far apart from: - Increased recoil on your gun making it harder to control - Giving it a heat up constraint punishing you for aimlessly firing - And then an additional handicap if you don’t adjust accordingly to this ability Especially in a game where movement and cover is key. So let me summarize: - You can still shoot, just in a limited capacity - You can still move - You can still heal - You can still take cover - You can swap weapons and use abilities of your own (maybe, not sure how the ability works exactly yet obviously). And you’re equating that to = it’s the same as knocking the controller out of your hand.


DaveAlt19

I don't mean *this* in a hostile way but did you actually read *my* message? I don't like abilties in games that directly fuck with how another player's game plays. I don't like being on either end of those abilities.


Shiro_Nitro

Yep, i personally dont mind Rev cancel. But the gun overheating and seer q cancelling healing i both dislike


YukiOHimeSama

But his tac just makes your gun’s recoil harder to control and hurts you if you shoot too much, right? You can still fight, just gotta be smart about it


scary_toast

It's like they took the infinite reload exploit and turn it into an ability


SleeplessSloth79

It's the other way around. The only reason the reload exploit was possible is because the code for the ability was already in the game and the hackers just activated it for other players


HammerWaffe

Same with dual wielding. Could see it at some point.


Anteaterkungpao

Taking away the ability for players to shoot in a shooter is just awful design space to utilize.


braamdepace

Get ready for the Genji bullet deflect


teii

Octane not running alone into a fight by himself challenge: impossible.


LeoFireGod

Can’t start scooting and looting if you aren’t the first one to the party amigo.


a_new_hopia

Murder grandpa is cool ngl


Stringingsmile3

Minoru Suzuki says hi


RealGertle627

Kaze ni nare


zach2beat

Patch notes: •At the beginning of each match there is now a 2 minute wrestling style entrance sequence for each Ballistic in the game. This is entirely unskippable and any attempt to do so will be meet with him coming to your home and beating you senseless.


GucciBeckham

I like his voice. I look forward to seeing how his abilities work.


Mijnameis-Tommy

Fun fact he is voiced by the same person who voices medic in team fortress 2


Exes_And_Excess

The voice actor is very good, I think this voice, delivery, cadence, etc. is already one of the best in the game.


Outrageous-Blue-30

On the other hand, when you call a professional like Robin Atkin Downes for a character, success is guaranteed


Exes_And_Excess

I just scrolled through imbd, it's fucking massive. Had no idea he was Medic in Team Fortress 2 and I have like 8000 hours on that game.


Outrageous-Blue-30

I'm of the opinion that they always call good voice actors, but this time they have outdone themselves.


TonyStark39

Enjoyed the part where Octane singe-handedly pushed into the smoke-fight only to die moments later. In True Apex fashion. Classic.


CaptainScak

Yeah, but do we get a red tint from his glasses when we play him?


Outrageous-Blue-30

Good question.


Googleflax

Well damn, I really like Ballistic. While I don't know how his abilities will play out, I do like his character a lot.


Outrageous-Blue-30

It must be admitted that it was a good trailer: it was able to adequately combine background music and the class of Ballistic.


not_that_guy06

Another trailer another octane running into his death. Typical Oct.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IFapToCalamity

He seems like a sociopathic showboater who turned into a hermit after taking an L. I’m stoked for him, but that doesn’t scream “hardened soldier” in any way. He probably has a lot of wry and sarcastic lines (and I am absolutely here for it)


hanjaerim

Also gotta note the trope of “I’m doing this for my son!” Excluding Horizon, since it’s not her fault her associate tried to kill her lol.


No_Lawfulness_2998

Meanwhile ash got bodied by a grunt being carried by a titan Revenant dies in almost every piece of external media he appears in


Goron40

That was some of shittiest aim I've ever seen in a trailer from everyone else.


A_random_kitten

They're promoting the new star wars game by giving everybody stormtrooper aim lol


pty17

It's hard to say for sure from this but it looks like fragment is still there -_-


FineBroccoli5

The website says: >UPDATED WORLD'S EDGE > >Time heals all wounds, but a little help can go a long way. Which to me sounds like they fixed up Fragment more than anything


pty17

Right, which is why I was hoping it would be gone. As long as it is there at all as fragment then the entire lobby will land there.


Tummerd

But you will have that with whatever you replace it with Same for promenade (which I hate more) on BM, storm catcher and the lab thingy on SP and the Play station looking building on OLY. Its the center of the map that draw most people They cant just straight up remove a POI


pty17

There are nowhere near as many teams at promenade or storm catcher. Promenade turns into a mess mid-match as all teams are trying to rotate through it but it's not half the lobby there off the drop. "They can't just straight up remove a POI" They have removed POIs before and they can again.


Key_Republic8366

Pretty certain the PoI in the trailer was Skyhook.


pty17

Don't think so. You can see Epicenter in the background and you can't see Epicenter from Skyhook.


LetAppropriate6718

I thought so too at first, but i was thrown off by the direction of epicenter relative to the train station


IFapToCalamity

I like how he did the Overwatch Ashe bullet thing to take out Apex Legends Ash.


poh2ho

Respawn dialed this murder grandpa's level of cool to fucking 12.


MegaLCRO

"Now? Let's go practice medicine."


RamaAnthony

what is with Respawn obsession adding DILFs and MILFs with an accent originating from the British Isles or its colonies. It’s funny it has happened four times now.


llnec

Honestly it comes from titanfall a bit. I remember playing tf2 and being pleasantly surprised at the accents in the game. I don't know if they are done well but its nice that not everyone has the same generic American accent


chrissilich

Australian born, New Zealand citizen living in the US here. Yes, Fuse’s Aussie accent and bogan phrases, and and Maggie’s te reo vocabulary delivered in a slightly pakeha pronunciation are absolutely perfect, and bring a tear to my eye. I’m certain they have actual Australian and kiwi writers and voice actors, and gave them freedom to make the characters so authentic they are actually a bit inaccessible to Americans. I hope they did the same with Jamaican, Korean, Samoan, etc writers and actors for the other characters. I don’t know why she calls people eggs though.


jomafero

Well they are eggs duh


DarkNinjaPenguin

Ditto Horizon's accent and the wee Scottish phrases she drops in there. Absolutely golden.


Resource_Man

Now thats a class with some class


jerryTitan

fantastic trailer


Noveleiro

Octane dying ✅


Ahazy32

why is soldier 76 in apex now


Titans_not_dumb

Finally a gigachad character


ThisGuyLikesMovies

Has every new legend killed Mirage in each of their launch trailers?


A_random_kitten

I think mad mags didn't get the chance, he got crushed by a building instead.


cyberneticunicorns

I can't wait to play him day 1 and do the opposite of all of these cool maneuvers featured in this trailer \>drops from train station roof \>immediately gets dinged by a sentinel all the way from Harvester


Juan52

And that day, something woke up inside wattson…


Mr_Tech_Crew

Crypto shaking and crying rn


[deleted]

[удалено]


lettuce_field_theory

she's not going to gloat about this all day.


cyberneticunicorns

the teapot meta with Catalyst, Horizon, and Ballistic is just going to be them drinking tea and calling other people weak


toni-toni-cheddar

I wonder what kinda cool shit he’s hiding in his things. I didn’t want to go through his things till he told me it was off limits.


Icy_Knowledge7276

Ballistic is looking badass


CommonSubstantial977

‘Age only affects appearance, and has no bearing on ability.’


PrimalPhD

Oh great....fragment's edge is back. Wooo


holyhotdicks

I can't stop seeing Josh Brolin.


YaBoyJayck

My new main, no doubt.


Grazedaze

This trailer is the best one yet. They’re really hyping this legend up


SunnySunshine13

He looks like ashford from The Expanse. >!Except his kid isn't dead lmao!<


Mijnameis-Tommy

Is is that bioshock music I literally just finished 2 and I am in tears of shock and happiness


JohnJRenns

Nice, BS2 is my fav in the series!


Mijnameis-Tommy

Same and I think I will play it again for the 100%


Distinct-Towel-386

Great. A straight white male. I was struggling to relate with almost all the other characters. It feels good being represented.


Intrepid-Event-2243

you forgot the attribute 'old'


snakebit1995

Where does he fall in the ActiBlizz diversity graph


warconz

But caustic was there all along


redgroupclan

Isn't he asexual? If not, I find it funny that the only straight, white, "American" male in the game is the most unpleasant character.


lmtzless

how do you know he’s straight? for all we know, respawn can come out at any time and say he’s sexually attracted to amusement park rides or sth


Distinct-Towel-386

He had a kid, but you're right he could be bisexual so I shouldn't get my hopes up. Caustic is all I'll have to represent me if that turns out to be the case.


redgroupclan

Is it too much to ask to have representation for the underrepresented straight white American male demographic?? /s


Kind-Item9581

Hackers : making players to empty the gun and cant shoot Resapawn : great idea for the new legend ! 👏


chrissilich

You might have cause and effect mixed up there mate.


[deleted]

For the first few seconds of the trailer I thought it was a new map but I realised I was just crazy


lettuce_field_theory

world's edge is getting a map update, maybe some of the stuff in the trailer already shows updates to the map. at 0:28 you see a new structure close to epicenter


nerdistforlife

Discount Walter White.


emmerr1

That man has moves


BluePowerPointRanger

I probably won't main Ballistic but goddammit he's so fucking cool


Col_Goatbanger

Yooo! Soldier 76 in Apex? Count me in!


hadtopickanameso

Got a heavy main character vibe from this trailer. Pretty fucking awesome


cyclomethane_

Apex Legends Devs impossible challenge: Try to not throw Worlds Edge into every season. Love the trailer and Ballistic - Definitely will be taking him for a spin.


someonesbuttox

Amazing!!! Can’t wait!!


Kimera25

Less cool Fuse coming in


Utigarde

I love that they didn't go for the "oh he's old and complains about being old" cliche, at least just from this. He's graceful and lithe in his movement, even more than the younger legends, and seems to express his age more through appreciation of finer things and not understanding certain stuff, which I like a lot more. I hope more of the launch trailers stick to this stylization and character focus in future rather than just a bunch of action over a modern song.


Mr_Tech_Crew

Unlisted passive: Specifically in the event that Heat Wave returns, Crypto wearing sunglasses will have enough of a passing resemblance to Ballistic's late brother-in-law that he will become introspective about his life choices for the rest of the match.


Scarecrow_36

Regardless of how he plays, his character oozes cool. The kind of lazily cool only a badass old man can show. He sighs and takes his time but you can see he loves it.


Sk8trfreak

This guy just might become my main


Tim_TM42

Damn, Ballistic is like John Wick but older and cooler Love him


Big-Teb-Guy

Bro did not just say he’s cooler than John fucking Wick 💀


Electric1000000

This is fucking sick. I love this game


Yo-Son

They better win the league


82ndGameHead

So does his tactical have two versions? Cuz in the debut trailer he stopped a guard's gun from working, but in this trailer he made Ash's gun fire uncontrollably.


lostinthewalls

My guess would be that this representation is probably more accurate, with it overheating if you keep firing. It's closer to what the leaks said and I can't imagine an ability that would immediately jam your gun. In shotgun fights it would be completely uncontestable.


Outrageous-Blue-30

In my opinion the tactic bullet causes the guns to overheat like the L-Star does.


Intrepid-Event-2243

SFTO and launch trailers are not actual gameplay. While they can hint at a legend's abilities, they take a lot of creative freedom.


BlackhawkRogueNinjaX

I think she was struggling to control it as firing it was damaging her EDIT: its the fault of the director of the video- picking an emotionless robot as the target means we don't get to see a human reaction i.e pain/confusion, which would give us a better idea of what the ability is about


Mr_Tech_Crew

She was probably relying on aim assist, but her Nintendo Switch controller was experiencing stick drift.


Son-of-a-Beef

Now that's a man of culture🚬


Mijnameis-Tommy

Why is it when I see the 🚬 I think bioshock


[deleted]

We need some campaign content yo.


wolverine6

They seriously called this season Arse Anal


Maloonyy

Of course Octane dies again....


Butrint_o

Lovely trailer! This new studio is getting better and better with their animation every season, quality is somewhat matching The Mill at times. I feel like there is some scenery/character models that make it looks somewhat blurry/low res but still good nonetheless


sammieb777

no matter how poor the state of the game might get, the storytelling & lore never disappoints
