Who is Vantage in Apex Legends? Leaked Legend abilities, details
Butcher79
Unreleased Apex Legends character Vantage was revealed during a huge leak in March, including the abilities of a potential new legend. Will Vantage headline Season 13?
With each seasonal update, Respawn adds another character to the ever-growing Apex Legends roster, and Season 13 will certainly be no exception.
While some players are happy to patiently wait for the official announcement, the leaks are not long in coming, giving us a glimpse of the future of the game.
Although leaks usually include a set of game files, sometimes an insider gets access to the developer's version of the game, and that's where it all starts.
That's exactly what happened in March, and along with eight other unreleased Legends, Vantage resurfaced as a survivalist sniper.
Who is Vantage in Apex Legends?
Season 13 is expected to release in early May.
When it comes to lore, we don't know anything about Vantage as they haven't been mentioned by any other characters in the past.
However, clues at first suggested that the legend was called Hawk, but major leaks in March seem to have revealed that Respawn have changed their name to Vantage.
Regardless, it's worth noting that the characters are still in development, so it's entirely possible that Vantage won't be their final legend name, as Respawn often uses placeholder names before release.
Vantage abilities in Apex Legends
When it comes to gameplay, the main leak that was posted in ApexUncovered subreddit in March, showcased all of Vantage's abilities.
It's worth noting that the abilities and animations in the clip may have changed since it was recorded, it's even possible that some of them have been scrapped, so it's not accurate.
When it comes to kit, Vantage is the long range specialist with access to a custom sniper rifle.

- Ultimate: Mark to Kill A special rifle that scans enemies and increases damage for Vantage and her squad. Damage is doubled for Vantage on consecutive shots. The team receives a 15% bonus on marked targets.
Will Vantage be added to Apex Legends Season 13?
Since Respawn hasn't made any hints about Season 13 yet, it's impossible to know if Vantage will make an appearance in the upcoming seasonal update.
However, with May approaching, it's likely that the developers will start giving hints for the next character in the near future.
Rest assured, we will update this article with any new leaks or rumors as soon as they become available.
