Apex Legends: Arsenal Releases New Character Trailer

Check out the latest Apex Legends: Arsenal trailer from Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts, as they delve more into Ballistic.

Respawn Entertainment and Electronic Arts have a new trailer out for Apex Legends: Arsenal, as we learn more about the new Legend, Ballistic. This is basically a small rundown of the character and a little of his backstory without delving too deep into things. We also learn more about his weapons and abilities, which will give you a tactical advantage in many ways if you decide to fight as him. Enjoy the trailer and info below as the latest content will launch on May 9th.

"August was the sole heir to the Brinkman fortune, built on shady backroom deals. But when those deals caught up with his parents, August was left a billionaire orphan. Wealthy, furious and self-destructive, August joined the Thunderdome Games (the pre-Apex Apex Games). Here, he took the name Ballistic and became a sensation! His style was wild, reckless, and utterly selfish⁠, helping him become the very first Thunderdome celebrity. He was famed for his iconic CAR ("Lady Grey," for the tea). It was here, in combat, that August would meet the love of his life, Sok Leng. They would quickly marry and have a son, Nathaniel. Sok Leng and her brother Kit Siang were an inseparable duo of destruction, and with August now in their squad, they seemed unstoppable."

"But nothing lasts forever. August's crowd-pandering combat style meant he wasn't paying attention to his team when they needed him, leading to Kit Siang's death. Devastated by guilt, August retreated into himself, driving away his wife and son. For nearly 40 years, August lived as a recluse, keeping busy with small tasks to distract a lonely mind. And so August was largely forgotten, though not by everyone. His son, Nathaniel, was both enamored with his father's victories and determined to surpass them. When his son qualified to join the dangerous Apex Games, August went to the Syndicate with an offer: take me instead. His son would be safe from the path that ruined him. What better way to use those skills than in selfless service? And if it just so happens to be his favorite activity, killing all who stand against him…That's quite the fortunate coincidence."

• Passive ability – Sling: What's better than two guns? How about three? Ballistic is packing some serious heat as he can store a third weapon in his Sling which can be accessed via Inventory or the Character Utility Action. However, the Sling weapon cannot take attachments, but hey, the more firepower, the better.
• Tactical ability – Whistler: Opponents need to keep their eyes peeled as Ballistic can shoot a guided projectile that heats up enemies' guns which cause damage as they shoot. The Whistler may be guided but players will need to hold the Tactical in order for it to lock-on.
• Ultimate ability – Tempest: Good thing Ballistic is a team player! Activating Tempest near teammates adds faster reloads, faster armed move speed and infinite ammo. As Ballistic is glutton for fashion, Tempest also upgrades the Sling weapon to gold.
