Ash's sword resembles the Broadsword wielded by Ronins, and her ultimate ability, Phase Breach, is similar to a Ronin's Phase Dash. Now, in Season 11, we're getting Ash, who primarily looks to take inspiration from the Titan she piloted in Titanfall 2, the Ronin. Season 9's Valkyrie wears a jetpack that's made from her father's old Northstar, and so all three of her abilities are based on that Titan's toolkit. Season 8 saw the addition of Fuse, whose explosive area-denial Knuckle Cluster is like the Northstar Titan's Cluster Missile, and his fiery The Motherlode ultimate ability is a circular variation of the Scorch Titan's Firewall. And Respawn did not disappoint on that front in Apex Legends' third year. But Gibraltar was notably the only legend at launch to have an ability inspired by a Titan, and for a while it seemed like he'd always be (Rampart wasn't added to the game until Season 6: Boosted).īut with Rampart's addition, the chance to see more Titan-based legends added to the game became a possibility. That honor goes to Gibraltar, whose Gun Shield resembles Legion's Gun Shield. Now, Rampart is not the first legend to take a note from a Titan. It also features a red beam laser sight, and thanks to a buff in Season 10, Rampart can lug the gun around.įor those who haven't played Titanfall 2, that description matches the terrifyingly powerful minigun wielded by Legion, an Ogre-based Titan that could lock down a zone with its Predator Cannon and Smart Core. Rampart's minigun features a slow wind-up, but once it gets going, it can spit out bullets at an incredible speed and it becomes more accurate over time. Her ultimate ability (Emplaced Minigun "Sheila") is a Titan-inspired ability. But Respawn did something a bit unexpected with Rampart as well. The remaining two Pilot abilities, Stim and A-Wall, provided the basis for Octane and Rampart's tactical abilities, respectively. Right from the get-go, Wraith's Into the Void was based on a Pilot's Phase Shift, Pathfinder's Grappling Hook was based on Grapple, Bloodhound's Eye of the Allfather was based on Active Radar Pulse, and Mirage clocked two inspirations with his tactical and ultimate abilities pulling from Holo-Pilot and Cloak.
When Apex Legends first launched, Respawn mostly took inspiration from Titanfall 2's human Pilots and their abilities for the playable legends.
Respawn has taken inspiration from Titanfall 2 for a good chunk of Apex Legends' playable characters, but Titans-the big walking robots you could pilot in Titanfall 2-weren't always a focus for the battle royale game's characters. It's incredible to see Titans' massive mech-killing armaments reduced in scope to the point that they're being wielded by people. Ash is notably yet another legend that uses a kit inspired by the Titans in Titanfall 2-I think that's incredibly cool, and developer Respawn should continue to use Titans as the basis for upcoming Apex Legends characters. The upcoming season adds a whole bunch of content to the game, including the new Storm Point map, C.A.R. Apex Legends Season 11: Escape is set to start November 2.
