Apex Legends fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of a new Legend, and the wait is finally over. The upcoming 17th season of the popular battle royale game will introduce Ballistic, a gunslinging legend with some unique abilities. The highly-anticipated character, Ballistic, has been rumored to join the game for some time, and now a new trailer has given fans a glimpse of his abilities.
Expected Abilities of Apex Legends’ Ballistic
The trailer showcases Ballistic's unique abilities in spectacular fashion, displaying his gunslinging skills and powerful moves. At about 2:50 in the video, Ballistic can be seen firing a shot that electrifies the enemy soldier and makes their weapon overheat, making it impossible for them to return fire on the 63-year-old gunfighter. This ability is consistent with leaks about his Tactical ability, known as "Smart Bullet," which is said to debuff enemies by making their guns overheat when they try to shoot.
Furthermore, the trailer reveals that Ballistic's Passive ability, "Weapon Sling," will allow him to carry a third weapon, but with the nerf that it cannot equip any attachments. This is shown in the scene at about 2:38 when Ballistic mows down a hallway full of enemies while using multiple weapons.
One of the most exciting aspects of Ballistic's kit is his Ultimate ability, "Weapon Enhancer." As per the leaks, he can use this ability to equip the third weapon with a set of gold attachments, providing faster reload speeds, unarmed movement speed, and "infinite ammo" for himself and nearby teammates.
Apex Legends Season 17 Arsenal is set to include various updates to the game, including World's Edge and Firing Range updates, weapon challenges, and more. Fans are eagerly awaiting the official confirmation of Ballistic's abilities, which is expected in the coming weeks leading up to the new season's release.
Apex Legends has been a wildly successful game since its release, with millions of players worldwide. It will be exciting to see how the addition of Ballistic is going to change the game meta.
