We all know that the Apex Legends devs confirmed that Vantage's bat Echo is "just too cute" to kill, but they didn't really express just how strong this little winged beast is. Ahead of any impactful Apex Legends patch notes, battle royale players are finding out that you can actually balance various items and ultimates on Echo. This means you can make a mobile Heat Shield in the storm circle or, more hilariously, chase your enemies with Horizon's oppressive Black Hole ability. Well, that's just what we've seen online anyway.
One example of this hilarious exploit can be found on r/ApexUncovered, a subreddit dedicated to Apex Legends' leaks, datamines, and exploits. On this very forum, user 'Deusbass' has shared a clip of themselves and another player experimenting with Vantage's Echo Relocation tactical ability and Horizon's Black Hole ultimate ability in Apex Legends' infamous shooting range - a place where almost every exploit is first explored.
In a similar fashion to Gibraltar players placing a Dome of Protection shield on Lifeline's DOC Heal Drone, all players really need to do is balance something like Horizon's Black Hole or the aforementioned Heat Shield on the back of Echo for this exploit to work - at the moment, anyway.
