Tactical: Grappling Hook Pathfinder\u2019s Tactical ability is his Grappling Hook and it\u2019s one of the most fun abilities to use in Apex Legends. It\u2019s also one of the hardest to master will require you to spend a lot of time in the Firing Range if you want to use it effectively in every possible scenario. Not only can this ability be used to reach power positions, but it can also be perfect for pushing an enemy team aggressively from a unique angle. Keep in mind, the cooldown of Pathfinder\u2019s Grappling Hook is based on the distance that he travels which ranges between 10-30 seconds total. Ultimate: Zipline Gun Pathfinder\u2019s Ultimate ability allows him to deploy his very own zipline on the map and is on a 120-second base cooldown. This can be particularly useful when you\u2019re attempting to make it into the ring as quickly as possible. Although this ability can be used aggressively, it does make you an easy target when traveling across a straight zipline. So, make sure you\u2019re aware of your enemy\u2019s position before you go zip lining into battle. Pathfinder tips and tricks 1. Use power positions to your advantage Every single map in Apex Legends is filled with ledges, buildings, and outcrops that can be used to catch an enemy squad off-guard. As Pathfinder, you are one of the few Legends who can access these areas and even use your zipline to allow your team to as well. In a final circle scenario, positioning yourself above the enemy could be the difference-maker in your squad taking home the win. Make sure you\u2019re using Pathfinder\u2019s dynamic movement to your advantage and putting yourself in the best position to pick up the victory. 2. Don\u2019t stray too far from your team If you\u2019ve played Pathfinder, you\u2019ll know his Grappling Hook is one of the most dynamic and fun abilities to use in Apex Legends. Once mastered, players can use it to traverse the map and propel themselves long distances.

Use your hook to pull in enemies Although Pathfinder\u2019s Grappling Hook is amazing for traversing the maps of Apex Legends, it can also be used aggressively on enemies.

This can incredibly useful in intense close-range encounters and could completely catch an enemy off-guard.
