But, some players are also questioning how this character will actually fare in the Apex games. While of course every character in Apex comes equipped with remarkable abilities that help them on the battlefield, historically most Legends added since launch have had a rather impressive combat past. This changed somewhat with Vantage, the youngest legend in the game, who was added for Season 14. At only 18 years old, it\u2019s some feat that she\u2019s able to hold her own against trained killers (Revenant), soldiers (Bangalore), and even pilots (Ash) \u2013 but her skill with a sniper and growing up in a harsh environment certainly helps. How will Catalyst survive the Apex Games? This question was brought up among Apex players on the game\u2019s popular subreddit, where a player asked, \u201cHow is Catalyst going to survive in the Apex games?\u201d The user, u\/MediumKeyAF, explained, \u201cWe didn\u2019t see how she got her powers. We didn\u2019t see her in combat.\u201d Focusing on the lore, they asked, \u201cHow is our good sis going to survive in the Apex games? Why does she even want to join the Apex games?\u201d These are questions that remain to be illuminated, perhaps in the subsequent trailers that will drop before the season releases on November 1. This isn\u2019t a new talking point either. Fans often point to a character like Revenant, who on paper should be able to comfortably take out just about the entire Apex roster single-handedly. After all, he is an unkillable simulacrum, trained to do nothing but mercilessly assassinate his targets. Other players agreed. One commented, \u201cThe legends in lore seem to vary immensely in terms of combat acumen versus their in-game potential. I just suspend disbelief, personally.\u201d Another player said, \u201cThe character design is very good but the back story is very weak it doesn\u2019t feel like a story.\u201d But, others highlighted that this is really nothing new \u2013 giving the example of Season 2 Legend Wattson, who is \u201ca freaking lab assistant who is tender and kind and has a childlike curiosity.\u201d Of course, in terms of the gameplay, none of this really matters, as all legends are on an equal footing (or at least should be) when a match starts. But for Apex\u2019s many lore-hungry players, there are big questions over how Catalyst would actually be able to hold her own in the games. We\u2019ll still have to wait and see though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apex Legends players have big doubts over Catalyst surviving in the Apex Games Respawn EntertainmentRespawn has revealed the newest Legend coming to Apex in Season 15 to much fanfare, with Catalyst\u2018s backstory being teased in the Stories from the Outlands.
