Written by Brandon Hofer on May 04, 2023

News: A new Legend is about to join the fray in addition to some new abilities that you will be able to use with him.

A new legend is heading to Apex Legends, becoming the 24th Legend. August Montgomery Brinkman was once the greatest competitor in the Thunderdome Games under the name Ballistic, where he fought with wild bravado. After two decades in hiding, he’s ready to make his Apex Games debut and teach his foes some manners.

As Ballistic becomes the 24th Legend, he has a few tricks up his sleeve to stay ahead of the competition:

Passive Ability - Sling

What’s better than two guns? How about three? Ballistic is packing some serious heat as he can store a third weapon in his Sling which can be accessed via Inventory or the Character Utility Action. However, the Sling weapon cannot take attachments, but hey, the more firepower, the better.

Tactical Ability - Whistler

Opponents need to keep their eyes peeled as Ballistic can shoot a guided projectile that heats up enemies’ guns which cause damage as they shoot. The Whistler may be guided but players will need to hold the Tactical in order for it to lock on.

Ultimate Ability

Activating Tempest near teammates adds faster reloads, faster armed move speed and infinite ammo. As Ballistic is glutton for fashion, Tempest also upgrades the Sling weapon to gold.

The new Apex Legends: Arsenal content will launch on May 9th for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC via the EA App as well as Steam.
