“Once known as Ballistic, August Montgomery Brinkman was once the ultimate competitor in the Thunder Dome Games where he was renowned for his incredible daring. After living on the fringes of society for two decades, he’s ready to join the Apex Games to teach his opponents some manners.“It’s not the trailer that will make Respawn’s official description lie: broken, polished and distinguished, this good old Ballistic has the charm of well-kept gentlemen – but also their lack of patience with young whippersnappers.
Like all of its competitors, Ballistic has three skills. His passive shoulder strap allows you to store a third weapon (without attachments) in your inventory. When the festivities heat up, old Brinkman can use his tactical ability hissing, which releases a homing bullet causing his enemies’ weapons to overheat. Firing a hot weapon inflicts damage, making it necessary to snipe sparingly. And if Ballistic prefers to pick up the pace, his ultimate Storm Temporarily increases the reload and movement speed of nearby allies, who also gain infinite ammo during this time. In addition, the weapon placed in Shoulder Strap is upgraded to Gold rank throughout the Storm.
Ballistic will be playable from May 9 once the Arsenal update is released.
