Here is everything we know about Alter’s abilities.
Alter is the next Legend coming to the Apex games. Developers have already confirmed there will be a new legend this season with Alter already showing up in playtest footage, and an seemingly accidental leak on the Season 20 Developer stream.
However, we know very little about what Alter will bring to the table when she arrives, besides a few leaks. Of course, things do change in development and we have seen some last second adjustments to legends before. So, remember that this information is all unconfirmed as things stand.
But, here are what leaks tell us will be Alters Apex Legends abilities in Season 21:
What are Alters abilities in Apex Legends?
According to prominent Apex Legends leaker Osvaldatore Alter will have the following abilities:
Passive: Gift From The Rift - Can remotely interact with a deathbox to claim one item. Cannot be armor.
Tactical: Void Passage - Creates a portal passageway through a surface.
Ultimate: Void Nexus - Create a regroup point that all allies can remotely interact with to open a phase tunnel back to that location.
We do know that according to the developers chat with Game Informer and the leaks from the Season 20 playtest footage that Alter will be a Skirmisher Legend in Apex Legends. That will give her the ability to see what is inside Care Packages before they land.
Alter hacks the Apex website
Rumours also suggest Alter will be a 'hacker' legend. This seems to have been confirmed by Respawn, with their website and socials being interfered with who we believe to be the new legend.
A mysterious arm knocks over the drink tray of the MRVN in the game lobby, and all of the legend profiles on the website have been vandalised.
What sort of legend will Alter be?
From these leaks, it seems that Alter will be fun and powerful Apex Legend when she arrives in the game. The ability to remotely loot a deathbox has previously only been reserved for Loba's Black Market. Having this ability as a passive on such an offensive legend opens up a lot of opportunities.
Additionally, should Void Passage and Void Nexus make it into Alter's Apex Legends kit when released this will completely shake up Apex Legends. There are two teleportation abilities in the game, but neither can pass through solid walls. Ash's Phase Breach can be placed through an open window, but nothing further.
Obviously, we don't have exact details on how these abilities will work in the game but on the face of it they seem really strong. Being able to chase enemies through buildings, cutting them off to snag a kill seems like it will be a must have ability on your team. And of course, this could provide some interesting escape abilities too.
It seems Alter will make a big impact when she makes her debut in Apex Legends Season 21. Stay tuned to esports.gg as more information about Alter is released.
