Apex Legends' Revenant can break out of bounds in new map teaser

We know Apex Legends' Catalyst is a terraformer coming for Gibraltar's crown, but it looks like Revenant is the legend Respawn Entertainment really need to keep an eye on. Why are we saying that? Well, it looks like players can make use of Revenant's Stalker passive ability to actually climb out of bounds in Apex Legends' new interactive map teaser. We know he doesn't like playing by any rules, but we can't imagine this was intentional.

While running around and exploring the new lunar-located Apex Legends map - well, at least the area that an Apex Legends Golden Ticket will give you access too - Reddit user 'Dailivel' discovered that Revenant can actually just about climb high enough to make it over the hardlight walls in the starting area of this interactive teaser.

We know over a quarter of Apex Legends' top players are now using Horizon, but it seems like only Revenant quite has what it takes to escape the boundaries of this teaser and fully explore everything on offer in this teaser.

Fortnite Wolfscent ability borrows from Apex Legends' Bloodhound

We know games like Fortnite and Apex Legends are both considered among some of the best battle royale games out there, but they really couldn't be any more different. Well, most of the time, anway. This Fortnightmares, though, Epic Games is borrowing a little something from Respawn Entertainment in the form of the Fortnite Wolfscent ability. This unique feature attributed to the Howler Claws, which are only available in-game during the Fortnightmares event, bear a striking resemblance to parts of Bloodhound's kit, a tracker from Apex Legends. Allow us to explain.

When you have Fortnite's Howler Claws equipped, you can activate something called Wolfscent. Available for a limited time before a cooldown period, this ability will give you tracking vision and repeatedly mark enemies in a nearby area. Does this sound at all familiar? Well, if you play Apex Legends, it might. This sounds like a strange amalgamation of Bloodhound's Eye of the Allfather tactical and Beast of the Hunt ultimate.

Interestingly, to balance this ability, Epic Games has introduced something of a Dead By Daylight-esque heartbeat that will start when you're being tracked by someone else using the Wolfscent ability's tracking vision and grow louder the closer they get.

Apex Legends Catalyst voice actor has starred in Smite and One Piece

Ahead of Apex Legends Season 15, the battle royale game's latest legend, Catalyst, has been revealed. The voice actor for Catalyst in Apex Legends - who attempts to save a collapsing moon in her Stories from The Outlands reveal trailer - was also introduced, and it turns out that she has past credits in not only other videogames but in English dubs of popular anime series too.

So, who is the Apex Legends Catalyst voice actor? If you haven't already come across her, say hello to Meli Grant. Like Catalyst, Grant is a transgender woman, and she has been doing voice work for over a decade.

As far as other videogames go, Grant has voiced characters in the likes of Smite, Borderlands 3, and recently Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, according to both her own portfolio site and IMDb.
