Season 15 of Apex Legends is set to introduce the Broken Moon map, stickers, and of course, the brand-new gifting feature. While all of these additions are exciting, it\u2019s the arrival of Catalyst that\u2019s getting most of the attention from players, with one aspect of her kit being particularly interesting. We\u2019re of course talking about her Dark Veil Ultimate which will be the first-ever direct counter to scan abilities in Apex Legends. The community has been calling on Respawn for an answer to Recon Legends for a long time, and it appears her wall of ferrofluid may be the perfect solution. Catalyst\u2019s Dark Veil counters Recon Legends in Apex Catalyst\u2019s Dark Veil Ultimate allows her to raise a permeable wall of ferrofluid that blocks vision and partially blinds any enemies that walk through it. While this would strong on its own, it also has another special feature that truly takes this ability to the next level. Dark Veil also blocks any scan abilities, meaning Bloodhound\u2019s Tactical, Seer\u2019s Ultimate, and Heartbeat Sensor are useless when used in the face of Catalyst\u2019s wall. This will allow the Defensive Conjuruer to pull off outplays without the risk of being spotted or tracked down immediately, making her the perfect pick for those who hate the recon meta. It\u2019ll be interesting to see how much of an impact Catalyst\u2019s Ultimate has on Seer and Bloodhound\u2019s place in the meta. As the ability only covers a small amount of space, it may not be enough to thwart the power of their scan abilities. However, after so much backlash from the community about the abundance of wallhacks and reveal abilities in Apex, Respawn has listened to the feedback with Dark Veil, we\u2019ll just have to see if it can hold its own in the Outlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Catalyst finally counters the scan meta &#038; recon abilities in Apex Legends Respawn EntertainmentCatalyst\u2019s Dark Veil Ultimate ability directly counters recon characters in Apex Legends, making it impossible for Legends like Bloodhound and Seer to scan through the ferrofluid.
