We know we say that Apex Legends is one of the best battle royale games out there right now, but there's one thing this shooter has been missing for some time: a counter to the scan meta. Whether it's Bloodhound's Eye of the Allfather tactical or Seer's Exhibit ultimate, Respawn Entertainment hasn't introduced a way for players to actually counter these revealing tactics. Well, until now anyway. That's right, Apex Legends' Catalyst is going to let players tackle the scan meta - and we're so excited to see how that changes up our Apex Legends tier list and the Season 15 pick rates.
Diving a little deeper into Catalyst's abilities and how they work during a press event held ahead of the Apex Legends Season 15 start date, game designer OT Harrison confirmed what we were all hoping after watching that incredible Eclipse launch trailer; Catalyst's Dark Veil ultimate ability is going to block scans.
Explaining that Catalyst's Dark Veil allows her to raise a permeable wall of ferrofluid that slows and blinds enemies, Harrison added that "the wall actually blocks a lot of the scan tech our legends have" - referring to the aforementioned abilities from Seer and Bloodhound specifically.
