This dovetails completely together with her Final, Sniper’s Mark, which supplies Vantage the usage of her personal customized sniper rifle, modified from an outdated predecessor of the Sentinel. What’s attention-grabbing is that this Final capability would not cost up like common Ultimates. As a substitute, she will use it at just about any time, however leaving the Final charging for longer will increase the variety of photographs she will fireplace one after the opposite, as much as a complete of 5 photographs.
It is a fairly punchy rifle too, dealing 50 injury with the primary shot on an enemy, however marking them for elevated injury within the course of.

Then there’s Vantage’s Tactical capability, Echo Relocation, which provides the very first animal companion ever launched into the Apex Video games. Apparently it took fairly a little bit of combating and pushing on Vantage’s half to get the sport runners to comply with let Vantage’s little bat good friend Echo into the Video games alongside her, however they capitulated when she mentioned she would not combat with out him. At a second’s discover, Vantage can ship Echo to a close-by location, after which by utilizing the power once more, she is going to interact her jetpacks and fly rapidly to Echo’s place.
It not solely offers Vantage with an effective way of closing the space between her crew and the enemy after dealing some good ranged injury, but it surely additionally appears to offer her with various mobility choices.

And thirdly, after sending Echo out she will select to not fly there in any respect. She’s not dedicated to the motion like, say, Loba can be together with her bracelet. Seems like Echo goes to be a reasonably highly effective companion – significantly since he cannot be harmed or killed by enemies to disrupt the power. He is far too cute for the devs to permit that.
