4. Fuse
- Tactical: Knuckle Cluster
- Passive: Grenadier
- Ultimate: The Motherlode
Walter “Fuse” Fitzroy blessed the grounds of Apex with his bombastic presence during season 8. Fuse was hailed as badass since he was first showcased in his Stories from the Outlands. The man walked off, losing his entire right arm in an explosion like a champ on his first appearance. Being an explosives expert, Fuse has a set of abilities ideally suited to him.
Fuse has a cheeky personality, which is both intimidating and charming. He is very open and is not afraid to critique his teammates. Walter is also highly inspiring. He inspires his teammates while healing them when they are down. Adding onto that, Fuse has some of the best in-game quips, making him one of the funniest characters in the game.
Fuse’s set of abilities is also entertaining to use. His tactical ability features an infinite grenade on a cool-down. This can lead to some chaotic, high-risk-high-reward situations. Additionally, he can constantly pressurize enemies with a constant bombardment of Knuckle Cluster. Besides that, he can carry more grenades than the other legends and throw them further. His Ultimate adds to the chaos by creating literal walls of flame on the battlefield.
3. Mirage
- Tactical: Psyche Out
- Passive: Now You See Me
- Ultimate: Life of the Party
One of the poster children of Apex, Mirage, is one of the best characters to have a good time with. His carefree personality makes him an instant fan favorite. He never shies away from making jokes, no matter how flat they fall. His easygoing personality and insecurities are represented through his abilities.
Mirage’s flamboyant personality is a performance. He has deep-rooted insecurities that often break through his “strong” exterior. He’s a goofy man who loves to have fun doing what he does. Mirage doesn’t take himself too seriously and makes jokes at his own cost throughout a game. He has some of the best voice work, and his quips showcase his moods.

- Tactical: Grappling Hook
- Passive: Insider Knowledge
- Ultimate: Zipline Gun
This robot is everyone’s best friend. Pathfinder is a juvenile bot looking to make friends… in a bloodsport. Besides his odd choices, he is equipped with the best grappling and movement technology in the outlands.
Pathfinder is always there to pick up his teammates when they are down. The robot makes sure to compliment his squad at whatever chance he gets. He loves to hi-5 his friends and forcefully hi-5 his enemies. Pathfinder’s no. 1 priority is making his friends the happiest they can be. He provides them with constant help by providing movement through the map.
Path has one of the best abilities in the game. Using his tactical, the grappling hook, he has movement, unlike any other Legend. The ability lets Pathfinder take to the skies. He becomes comparable to Spider-Man when he zips through corners of buildings and takes down the bad guys. His Ultimate allows his teammates to experience something similar and enables quick repositioning.
1. Octane

- Tactical: Stim
- Passive: Swift Mend
- Ultimate: Launch Pad
Octane is Apex’s most fun addition. The speed demon has always been a highly-picked legend and, as of late, is the highest-picked legend in the game. That’s not just because of his moveset but also due to his amusing personality.
Octavio always has the rush. He has to be the fastest and most energetic person in his team. His obsession with speed led him to use the hazardous drug, stim to keep him on his toes constantly. The daredevil wears a dialysis belt to synthesize his overdose of the drug continuously. He does not care. He has to be fast.
Octane’s stim provides a temporary speed boost at the cost of some of his health. Even with that little disadvantage, the speed boost offers a rush. Players can feel the adrenaline running through Octane. His swift movements allow players to do some of the most exciting tricks and ambushes in the game. His Ultimate, the Launch Pad, is also extremely fun to use as it provides rapid verticality in the game for his squad. Moreover, the jump pad allows some crazy stunts with particular weapon combos, making Octane the most fun Legend to play with.
