Usually, players have to wait until they see an ability trailer to get information on how exactly a new character’s abilities work in Apex Legends. But thanks to a report from Inverse, it appears that Catalyst’s abilities have snuck onto the Internet a bit earlier than normal.
Of greatest interest to most players will be Catalyst’s ultimate and its particular ability to counter one thing in the game: scans. So-called “wall hack” characters like Seer and Bloodhound have dominated the game so thoroughly without any obvious counter to them that the launch trailer’s depiction of Catalyst’s ultimate appearing to stop Seer’s scans caused many players to hope for a counter legend to scan characters. Inverse’s report confirms that Catalyst’s ultimate, Dark Veil, will indeed stop enemy scans.
