Vantage for noobs: A Beginner's Guide To Vantage


Overview




Apex Legends' newest character, Vantage, joined the legend lineup alongside the launch of Season 14: Hunted. Although she's not the first airborne legend to join the Apex Games, she is the first character with a skillset and abilities built specifically for ranged combat, and she's seriously shaking up the meta.

Due to the unique nature of Vantage's abilities, she can be a bit tricky to master. But with some practice (and a bit of studying), you'll be zooming around Outlands and sniping freshly nerfed Valkyries out of the sky in no time. Though Apex Games may be rigged, following these tips will greatly increase your odds of bringing Vantage (and her furry little sidekick) into the winner's circle


Use your ability arsenal






Vantage is one of the most powerful legends in the game, with her unorthodox abilities making her an absolute juggernaut on the battlefield. But those abilities are useless if you don't understand how they work or how best to take advantage of them.


Passive: Spotter's Lens

Aim down sights to scout with Vantage's eyepiece (both unarmed or with mid- to long-range scopes) and use a bullet drop indicator to see where shots will land. Vantage's eyepiece also identifies enemy legend names, what kind of shield they're wearing, how many members are in the squad, and how far away they are.

Tactical: Echo Relocation

Vantage can position her winged companion, Echo, and then launch herself towards him--an excellent way to quickly reach and maintain the high ground. Vantage must have a direct line of sight for Echo to launch.

Ultimate: Sniper's Mark

Vantage uses a custom sniper rifle that marks enemy squad members for 10 seconds after they've been hit. For Vantage, the damage increases with successive hits. Vantage's entire squad also gets a damage bonus when hitting enemies who have been scanned with Sniper's Mark.

Vantage's abilities are useful in a multitude of situations, but they will also get you killed if you aren't careful. Adhere to the following guidelines when using Vantage's abilities, and make sure to watch your back when sniping--remember, you aren't the only Vantage on the map.
