We know Apex Legends is easily one of the best battle royale games available right now, but why is that the case? Of course, the balanced nature of the game comes to mind - among other things - but, what if we told you that it wasn't quite as fair as it seems? Well... It isn't, really. Apex Legends fans are starting to clock onto a rather forgiving buff hidden within new-face Vantage's ultimate ability: Sniper's Mark. It turns out that her custom Sentinel sniper rifle must use bigger rounds than most, because the projectile hitbox for these shots is actually a lot larger than it is for other sniper rifles in-game. We know Vantage has found a decent spot in our Apex Legends tier list already, but we might have to bump her up.
The sensation of landing a sniper shot you weren't expecting to in a firefight really is second-to-none, of course, and something you may have experienced yourself in the heat of battle. However, it looks like Vantage mains in Apex Legends are experiencing this a little more frequently than they expected - and there's a good reason for that.
Quite a few Apex Legends players dedicated to uncovering the truth of these suspiciously successful shots have taken to the battle royale's training arena to test standard sniper rifle shots against Vantage's custom-built Sentinel - and the results are quite clear. As Redditor 'Signal_Soup1170' has expressed, Vantage's bullets are "too damn thicc".
