Valkyrie is a brand new Apex Legends character with a deep history that ties into Titanfall 2 . Even her abilities are inspired by the Northstar Titan , and for good reason. In this guide we’re going to break down everything you need to know about Valkyrie in Apex Legends, including her backstory, her abilities, and the strategies you need to play as her in Apex Legends Season 9: Leg
Sometimes, it's longevity - not damage output - that makes a Legend just as deadly as the champions that come before them. And with Revenant's Death Totem , his squad immediately gets the upper hand by toying with life itself. When activated, Revenant and his teammates can transform into shadows for up to 30 seconds each. This essentially acts as a second l
Each legend in the game has 3 abilities; tactical, passive and ultimate. Gibraltar's passive ability is a shield that is deployed in front of him whilst the player is aiming down the sights of any weapon. For many gamers, this ability has been and continues to be very useful despite it being downgraded several ti
If you fire arrows into the floor or a wall, you will be able to walk over them or interact with them to pick them up and place them back in your bag. Yes, walking over arrows will automatically collect them, as long as you have a Bocek Bow equip
The only downside to his ultimate is that fans have gotten used to evading it. Typically, there is a window between Gibraltar announcing his bomb strike and it actually hitting the ground. Therefore, as soon as enemy teams are aware of what is about to happen they run to the closest building and this can shield them from any dam
A quick body shot will take around 30 health off a non- Fortified enemy, while a charged shot does closer to 70, practically shattering a blue shield in a single shot. This means you can aim a few pop shots, and then swap to a faster firing weapon for the final strike. A headshot, meanwhile, will slap enemies with 120 damage, which will practically destroy even a charged red shield - though it will of course do less damage if the enemy has a decent hel
Precision Choke is on by default, can be toggled off. Pellet spread has been increased, with damage nerfed slightly. Reload and rechamber speeds are also higher, meaning it won’t be as powerful as the Season 8 version of the wea
As mentioned, Missile Swarm mimics that of the Northstar Titan from Titanfall 2. This allows you to mark a small section of the map with an array of red beacons, and a barrage of missiles will follow shortly after. This can be used every 30 seconds. Missiles will need to eject from Valkyrie’s gear and then move to the target location from overhead - meaning this is useless in areas with shallow ceilings, and you’ll need to be aware of how much clearance you have before using it. This might best be used to clear opponents out from behind cover, similar to a well-placed Thermite gren
Mastiff (Shotgun): Contrary to other Shotguns, the Mastiff Shotgun releases pellets in a horizontal fashion, making it deadly against enemies who like to stay together. This transforms Bangalore’s smokescreens into a nightmare, especially since a shot from this weapon can catch hit an enemy’s center mass and potentially graze the opponent’s other teammates within proxim
Similar to a military personnel who can adjust to any combat situation, Bangalore’s Double Time (Passive) gives her a speed boost whenever she’s hit. This transforms her into a speed devil, practically encouraging her to either get into combat or escape - useful with Apex Legends SMGs and close-ranged weap
Considering the nature of Bangalore’s toolkit, players who use her shouldn’t hesitate engaging on pure offense. When utilized properly, her skillset allows Bangalore to not only enter and exit combat quickly, but also allow her to persistently mow down one enemy squad after another with her abilities. At its core, players can maximize Bangalore’s kit when doing hyper-aggressive play with Apex Legends teammates in these mann
But now the servers have mostly recovered, and after breaking its own Steam record, Apex Legends Season 9 is finally live, allowing players to become immersed in the new Arenas mode, and play with what might be the most exciting new addition, the new Legend, Valkyr
The Combat Revive ability no longer deploys a shield, but can revive two players at the same time. The revive is cancelable, allowing players to use their knockdown shield in an emergency. The DOC Drone heal rate has been increased considerably, which is nice. The Care Package Ultimate contents now depend on what loot you currently have equipped, guaranteeing some kind of upgrade depending on what loot your team is carrying when it arrives. These changes follow complaints that Lifeline was „borin
As mentioned, you cannot fire while ascending using the VTOL Jets , and you will ascend fairly slowly - this is nothing like Horizon’s speedy gravity lift from previous seasons. This does mean that Valkyrie is a fairly obvious target, and even when she starts descending you can get some good hits in. If you’re a good shot with a Vantage sniper Gameplay, Valkyrie can be taken down with ease, and that’s what you need to be aware of as a Valkyrie player. Staying in the air for too long can be a really bad decision. Be aware of the limits of your jet, and also aware of how far you need to fall before you can get behind cover and heal again. The jets are also fairly loud, so nearby players should instantly have a good idea of where a Valkyrie player
