Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment’s free to play battle royale shooter, has just released a character trailer for the new legend Ballistic. They will be available in the upcoming season “Arsenal”, which launches on May 9th, 2023.
The recent gameplay trailer also revealed that Arsenal will introduce big map changes for World’s Edge, Firing Range improvements and more. You can watch the full Ballistic character trailer on the Apex Legends YouTube channel:
Today’s trailer for Ballistic doesn’t show much more than fans already knew, breaking down each of his abilities one by one. However, it’s certainly a very fun overview thanks to the impeccable narration. The details are told with Pathfinder’s signature, blissful voice, tying into his unusually rich and adventurous history.
But despite that terrific sense of humor, Ballistic’s voice lines still get a chance to shine. His characterization is winning over a lot of casual players, possibly more so than the abilities are appealing to hardcore fans. There are plenty of finishers and voice lines that hadn’t been revealed just yet in today’s gameplay and cinematics.
There’s a definite charm to Ballistic’s refined and gentlemanly personality. His finishers are also top notch, with a very unique sense of humor, including a joke pistol “bang” that’s very old school. It should also please fans of the Joker.
It’s nice that today’s trailer reminds players about the gold upgrade from Ballistic’s ultimate, since his Sling weapon can’t ordinarily use attachments. The gameplay also shows how some of his abilities could be used in-game. Aggressive characters are often very popular, so it’ll be interesting to see how Ballistic fits in with comps that include Octane, Horizon, and so forth.
