Now Playing: Apex Legends Imperial Guard Collection Event
“There’s a character [on the legend selection screen] where [playtesters] are getting a unique Revenant whose ultimate is a one-on-one fight in the void with whoever it hits,” the YouTuber defined.But the leaker’s glorious monitor document is not the one proof supporting the Revenant Reborn means changes–they make sense within the context of each Revenant’s present skills and the sport’s lore. One of the primary glimpses followers obtained of the pleasant neighborhood murderbot was footage of him climbing the outside of a skyscraper within the Season 4 launch trailer. In-game, his passive Stalker means permits him to climb faster–and further–than the remainder of the legends. Revenant can scale the complete peak of the multi-story parking constructions on the World’s Edge map rapidly and with ease, so wall-running possible would not pose a lot of a problem for the agile murderer. Even people are recognized to wall-run within the Titanfall sequence (which takes place in the identical universe as Apex Legends), so it is a completely plausible means for a well-engineered homicide machine like Revenant, who’s already recognized to watch his fellow legends whereas hiding within the shadows of partitions and ceilings.Revenant’s present passive means permits him to climb partitions with ease, however he might quickly be operating throughout them.Bangalore’s episode of Stories From The Outlands additionally options wall-running. A personality named Scryer hunts Bangalore and her brother Newcastle down whereas operating throughout partitions all through the chase. Though Scryer was in the end killed, final 12 months’s huge lore leak included a legend roster that includes his title and portrait, so it is doable that restricted wall-running skills are deliberate for extra characters than simply Revenant, particularly if Scryer finally ends up getting back from the lifeless.As for the void, ThordanSmash’s playtesting sources say Revenant’s new final means sees the simulacrum hit an enemy with an object (maybe a modified model of his totem) that then transports each Revenant and the enemy into the void for a 1v1 battle–a nice methodology to even the percentages when Revenant’s outnumbered or his squad is getting third-partied. One of Apex Mobile’s unique characters, Fade, has the same means that sees a number of enemies quickly transported to the void by way of his Phase Chamber (although Fade can not hurt enemies whereas they’re trapped inside).While probably shocking to some, there’s additionally loads of in-game proof supporting the truth that Revenant might have the power to make use of some type of phase-tech (the expertise that lets Ash, Fade, and Wraith enter the void). The first clue has been there since day one: Revenant’s default ending transfer sees him method his downed goal with a metallic finger held to his lips earlier than disappearing right into a path of orange gentle much like the wisps of blue vitality Wraith and Ash go away when phasing. He then reappears behind his unfortunate sufferer and promptly rips off their face. But the place precisely does he disappear to whereas touring from level A to level B? Presumably the void.All phase-tech–from Wraith and Ash’s skills to the Phase Runners on Olympus–emits a blueish-white stream or circle of void vitality when in use. But Revenant’s skills all go away an orangey-black path of their wake, so it is easy to imagine that his powers are unrelated to part tech. But it is price remembering that not solely is Revenant 300 years old–he’s additionally the primary simulacrum ever created, and it took 20 years for Hammond Robotics to stabilize his mind sufficient to utilize him. Revenant is successfully the “rough draft” of simulacra, which is probably going why Ash’s look and skills are extra modernized, as is her phase-tech. Wraith’s new Hope’s Dawn Heirloom Set–a recolored model of her unique blue Kunai Heirloom–also means that not all portals are blue.After being killed, Revenant emerges from a cloud of smoke with a brand new, undamaged physique, taking enemies unexpectedly.However, there’s another little bit of lore standing in the best way of “Revenant Reborn” turning into a actuality: What about his means to respawn by way of his Death Totem? Revenant’s totem (and the a number of factories stuffed with additional shells for his consciousness to switch to upon every loss of life) is a pivotal a part of Revenant’s tales. Every loss of life additional deteriorates his emotional state, and every respawn is agonizing mentally and bodily. The totem itself transfers gamers from level A to level B in the same method to Wraith’s portals and Ash’s part tears, however realizing how previous Revenant is (and the way obsessed Hammond Robotics is with phase-tech), it is doable his totem is the results of Hammond’s first-ever try at implementing void-based technology–just like Revenant was their first-ever simulacrum. But on the subject of the sport’s lore, how might Respawn justify buying and selling out his Death Totem for phase-tech skills?It’s actually fairly easy: As revealed within the Apex Legends lore e-book, Pathfinder’s Quest, Revenant does not have infinite shells. Each time he dies (inside or exterior of the Apex Games), one in all his spare our bodies is used to exchange the destroyed one. This implies that even when he by no means finds his supply code, he is nonetheless discovered a strategy to obtain his final objective: loss of life. Each match will get him one step nearer to completely inhabiting a deathbox, and in a Transition Screen from Season 16’s battle cross, it is revealed that Revenant solely has about 10,000 spare our bodies left. Based on the numbers, Revenant has died roughly 300 occasions every year he is been a simulacrum. The Transition Screen’s textual content additionally factors out that just about 78% of Revenant’s deaths had been avoidable, so it is clear he is actively searching for to destroy himself a technique or one other.What occurs when he runs out of shells? The reply to this query will also be present in Pathfinder’s Quest. When Pathfinder asks Revenant what’s going to occur when he runs out of shells, he replies, “I assume I’ll still be a program… I’ll find a way.”Out of about 100,000 spare shells, Revenant solely has roughly 10,000 left. This offers Respawn an ideal alternative to make use of Revenant operating out of spare our bodies as a story software to clarify his sudden drastic means modifications if the brand new means leaks leaks turn into one thing Respawn truly implements. As far because the narrative, it is clearly doable Revenant might quickly run out of shells. But legends like Ash, Caustic, Crypto, Horizon, Wattson, and Wraith–all of whom are accustomed to simulacrum creation and/or phase-tech–could play an element in rebuilding Revenant, identical to they rebuild Ash throughout Season 5’s Broken Ghost questline.Of course, all leaks must be taken with an enormous grain of salt. It’s essential to keep in mind that even when the playtesters’ claims are correct, the entire new Revenant Reborn options could also be altered earlier than they hit the game–or merely be scrapped altogether. Alternatively, the “reborn” model of that Revenant playtesters are allegedly encountering could possibly be a very new character in disguise. Some of the opposite new “reborn” options, like a tactical means that repels enemies as an alternative of stopping them from utilizing their skills, appears a little bit misplaced. There’s additionally the chance that the skills are a part of a future LTM. ThordanSmash has an attention-grabbing concept of his personal:”What we’re theorizing right now is that this is going to be the shadow Revenant from the Halloween mode, as it does fit with the ultimate wall-running,” the leaker opined in his YouTube video.Still, there’s another piece of proof that strongly suggests Revenant can enter the void. In addition to Wraith’s new orange-red Heirloom Weapon, Apex’s new Imperial Guard Collection occasion features a very distinctive Revenant-exclusive banner body supporting the idea that Revenant can entry the void or use some type of phase-tech. A set of glowing candles much like these discovered throughout Shadow Royale decorates the foreground, however the banner body’s background encompasses a huge portal that’s equivalent to Wraith’s. Well, virtually equivalent. There is one little distinction in regards to the portal in Revenant’s new banner body: It’s orange. This portal has the identical lava-like glow as the sides of Wraith’s new knife (which rips tiny portals open when meleeing enemies) and the orange path of sunshine that seems when Revenant makes use of his totem or finisher. The launch of this banner body marks the primary time Apex has ever depicted a portal as any coloration apart from the usual indigo shade utilized by Ash, Fade, and Wraith.Revenant’s new banner body helps the idea that he is able to utilizing some type of phase-tech.The banner body’s title, “Ancient Portal”, additionally seems to point that phase-tech existed over 300 years in the past, which can clarify the colour change–perhaps early phase-tech prototypes initially created orange portals. Given Hammond Robotics’ penchant for co-opting historic alien tech by way of the IMC’s secretive ARES Division (which Wraith as soon as labored for), it is most unlikely that Ash was the primary and solely simulacrum to have phasing skills. In truth, it appears to recommend that Revenant wasn’t simply Hammond’s first try at making a simulacrum–he might have additionally been one in all their first makes an attempt at controlling phase-tech.Regardless of whether or not “Revenant Reborn” truly seems in-game, his means to teleport to his totem, disappear into skinny air throughout his finisher, and summon at will a brand new physique from varied Revenant factories everywhere in the Outlands, makes laborious to disclaim that he has some type of connection to the void. But till Respawn confirms the power modifications, it is in all probability protected to imagine this pleasant neighborhood murderbot’s obvious void-hopping expertise will not truly have an effect on gameplay.Apex Legends is free to play on console and PC.
