Over the three years that Apex Legends has been available for players, there have been a variety of different characters that have joined the roster, allowing players to try out legends that match their playstyle. Vantage is continually being referenced by Respawn directly in the game, and with the information from previous leaks, we know a decent amount about her. Read on for our breakdown.

Apex Legends Vantage abilities
The rumours of Vantage being the next character came directly from an Apex YouTuber and leaker called ThordanSmash earlier in the year, and they've also kindly detailed what abilities it seems the character will have. These leaks have also recently been confirmed somewhat by a Tweet from the official Apex Legends account, which we have embedded above. They show pictures of a child's diary, containing doodles of a sniper and a bird, both parts of the leaked kit.
From what we know about Vantage, they are a sniper reconnaissance character who specialises in collecting information about enemy positioning and movement to aid them in striking from a distance. The rumoured abilities are subject to change. They are:
- Passive - Sniper Kit: Tactical info available in ADS, unarmed or long-range scopes (Legend name, shield rarity, team size, and distance)
- Tactical - Echo Launch: Launch toward your winged companion called Echo. Order Echo by pressing Q, and launch toward them by holding Q
- Ultimate - Mark to Kill: You gain a custom rifle that scans enemies and boosts damage for Vantage and their squad. Damage will double for Vantage after hitting successive shots. The team gets a 15% bonus to marked targets
The leaks also suggest that Vantage's history is intertwined with Bloodhound, due to the next season supposedly containing a Goliath creature that the later character fought in the lore.
