Apex Legends leakers claim major Rampart buff is in the works Respawn EntertainmentWell-known Apex Legends leaker Shrugtal has uncovered a potential buff for Rampart in the battle royale\u2019s game files and, if implemented, it would surely constitute a significant meta shake-up. Since her introduction back in Season 6 of Apex Legends, Rampart has struggled to make a meaningful impact on the battle royale\u2019s meta. Despite the strength and uniqueness of the Sheila turret and her Amped Cover barricades, the naturally defensive nature of them has seen the Amped Modder constantly on the periphery. That has continued into Season 12, where her pick rate is a woeful 1.5% \u2013 putting her 20th out of 20 legends. However, following on from some Season 10 buffs, she could be set for a major strengthening if leaked game files come to fruition. According to veteran leaker Shrugtal, multiple buffs for Rampart are present in the game files but did not quite make the most recent update. If the leaker\u2019s information is correct, the potential buff would improve just about every aspect of Rampart\u2019s character, including significant improvements to her Amped Cover Tactical. \u201cRampart buffs for the Amped Cover in the files that didn\u2019t make the final cut and are currently not in-game,\u201d he said, before outlining the changes that could be made. \u201cInitial building health: 40 -> 120 Upper arm shield extension delay: 0.25 -> 0.10 Front armor deploy duration: 0.5 -> 0.3 Placement delay: 0.5 -> 0.3\u201d. Some considered its post date \u2013 April 1 \u2013 to be indicative of a prank on Shrugtal\u2019s behalf but, with corresponding game code being shared, it does appear to be in the games files and simply unreleased as of this article\u2019s publication. Rampart buffs for the Amped Cover in the files that didn’t make the final cut and are currently not in-game: Initial building health: 40 -> 120 Upper arm shield extension delay: 0.25 -> 0.10 Front armor deploy duration: 0.5 -> 0.3 Placement delay: 0.5 -> 0.3\u2014 Shrugtal (@shrugtal) April 1, 2022 It\u2019s not clear when \u2013 or if \u2013 Respawn intend to release the buff, but it would represent a major strengthening of one of the BR\u2019s most maligned characters. Season 13 seems a possible release date, expected in early-mid May. Or maybe it\u2019s all an April Fools and the joke\u2019s on us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
