Who is Fuse in Apex Legends? Season 8 Legend abilities, release date, origin story Respawn EntertainmentFuse is the new character coming in Apex Legends Season 8. Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the new character, including his abilities and lore. Apex Legends Season 8: Mayhem is dropping just before the two-year anniversary of the game\u2019s launch, on February 2, 2021, and along with the flurry of new content and changes comes a brand-new Legend, Fuse. Fuse will have a lot of expectations to live up to, as the most recent new character, Horizon, released in the strongest state of any post-launch character. Whether this new recruit will instantly become part of the meta remains to be seen, but their abilities might give us some indication. Here\u2019s everything we know about the next character in line. Who is the Season 8 Legend? After weeks of speculation, Respawn finally announced on January 18 that Fuse would indeed be the new Legend added for Season 8: Mayhem. They describe the character as one that \u201cdoesn\u2019t lack confidence, but often lacks a plan. He\u2019s a blow-up-first, ask-questions-later kinda guy.\u201d Fuse\u2019s origin story is an explosive one; he\u2019s from a planet called Salvo and made a name for himself winning pit fights and other similar fighting competitions. Eventually, it gets revealed that he\u2019s been chosen to compete in the Apex Games, a decision that his longtime (and jealous) friend doesn\u2019t appreciate. In the S8 \u201cStories from the Outlands\u201d video, Fuse and his friend get into a skirmish until she tosses a grenade between them, with the subsequent explosion costing the explosives expert his arm, which is why he sports a robotic one in the Apex Games. What are Fuse\u2019s abilities? Fuse abilities have now been revealed: Passive: Grenadier \u2013 Fuse\u2019s mechanical arm throws ordnances farther, faster and more accurately. Fuse can also stack more grenades per inventory slot than other Legends. – Tactical: Knuckle Cluster \u2013 Deploy a cluster bomb that splinters out mini-concussion mines. – Ultimate: The Motherlode \u2013 Bring out Fuse\u2019s rocket launcher \u201cWally\u201d to drop an ordnance that surrounds the target in a ring of flames. – You can see Fuse\u2019s abilities in action in his official character trailer: Fuse is going to be the perfect Legend if you want to blow up your enemies. Of course, we still have no idea how he will shift the current metagame, but an answer will emerge once he\u2019s available.
