With the next major update on the horizon, it looks like Apex Legends' Season 17 character might actually go by his originally-leaked name in the battle royale after all - and not the more recently-used name of Ballistic. In a recently-released animated short featuring Rampart and a "last minute customer", eagle-eyed Apex Legends fans have spotted a small detail that seems to suggest the newest face on the roster might not be actually using their father's moniker after all - despite the leaks.
If you're wondering what we're talking about, allow us to explain. For a fair few weeks now, it has been rumoured that the next Legend joining the Apex Games would be Ballistic. However, this Apex Legends datamine teased a rather interesting detail about the leaked Ballistic - that the character we're going to see introduced in Season 17 is actually the son of the revered combatant. So, this has led to a loose general consensus that the Ballistic we see in-game has - we suppose - inherited their father's name for their appearance in this deadly competition.
However, and a big "however" at that, Apex Legends fans have spotted the name Caliber in the recently-released animated short - on a sticky note, no less. Highlighted by Mixtape LTM lover 'Viper_Visionary' online, a note found on a board behind Rampart's head reads "[appointment] for Caliber" and "Tue".
