Now players can double-jump following the use of Octane’s jump-pad and change direction easily from the jump itself. Movement impairing effects such as Caustic's Gas and Revenant’s Silence will now be removed upon activation of the stim, as well as a handy speed increase of 10%. However, the devs at Respawn are doing their best to combat his suggested unviability. It isn’t nearly as effective as Wraith’s portals or Pathfinder’s ziplines when it comes to movement. The jump-pad was also discussed as being… a bit rubbish. The reasons cited were his speed and healing abilities didn’t necessarily help the team, and in a squad-based Battle Royale, you need all the help you can get. Octane has long been thought of as a “selfish” Legend and appears in Tier C of our Apex Legends characters tier list for this very reason.

Our only suggestion for reworking her Ult would have been a 100% chance of a Purple shield spawn in her Care Packages (once a match). Lifeline is about to snatch back her Healer crown, and her ability to revive two teammates at once with the help of the D.O.C is about to shake up competitive play in a big way. If the care package spawns attachments, it will now give 2x. Lifeline’s care package now contains more items, and when spawning small healing items (such as shield cells or syringes) will now spawn 3x as many.

Lifeline now has even more healing capabilities, as the cooldown for releasing her healing bot has been changed to 45 seconds from 60. Lifeline no longer has the fast heal passive perk.

Lifeline’s role of the healer was all but replaced by Mirage when he became the ultimate combat medic thanks to his cloaking passive, but Lifeline is ready to step back into the role, with a new set of reworked abilities.ĭeploying the D.O.C will now revive teammates as well as deploying a shield, leaving Lifeline free to physically revive another squad mate, or defend.
