Who is Vantage in Apex Legends? Leaked Legend abilities and rumors

November 2022 · 3 minute read

Unreleased Apex Legends character Vantage was uncovered in a huge leak in March, but what are their abilities, and are they the Season 14 Legend?

With every seasonal update, Respawn adds another character to the ever-growing Apex Legends roster and Season 14 will certainly be no different.

While some players are happy to patiently wait for an official announcement, leakers and data miners do their best to identify clues and information ahead of time.

Although this usually involves trawling through the game files, occasionally an insider will gain access to the dev’s version of the game, giving them a huge amount of content to reveal.

Well, that’s exactly what happened in March, and along with eight other unreleased Legends, Vantage the Survival Sniper was unveiled.

Who is Vantage in Apex Legends?

When it comes to lore, we know nothing about Vantage as they haven’t been mentioned by any other characters in the past.

However, at first, clues suggested that the Legend was called Hawk, but major leaks in March appeared to show that Respawn changed their name to Vantage.

Despite this, it’s worth noting that they’re still in development, so it’s possible that Vantage won’t be their final name, as Respawn often uses placeholder titles ahead of release.

When it comes to gameplay, the major leak that was posted to the ApexUncovered subreddit in March showcased all of Vantage’s abilities.

It’s worth noting that the abilities and animations in the clip could have changed since this was recorded, it’s even possible some of them have been scrapped, so take the leak with a pinch of salt.

When it comes to their kit, Vantage is a long-range specialist with access to a custom sniper rifle, that even provides a damage buff for their teammates.

Will Vantage be added in Season 14 of Apex Legends?

While Season 13 of Apex Legends still has a little bit to run, it has been claimed by reputable leaker and YouTuber ThordanSmash that Vantage will be arriving in Season 14. 

The YouTuber stated on June 5 that the new legend will release with all the kit that has been previously leaked, and also usher in the arrival of a ‘Goliath’ event on Storm Point.

Of course, none of this has been confirmed by Respawn, so it’s best to take things with a pinch of salt, despite the leakers reputable history.

Rest assured, we’ll update this article with any new leaks or rumors as soon as they surface. Don’t forget to check out alphaINTEL for all the latest Apex Legends news and updates.
