Ballistic in Apex Legends is an Assault character who specializes in weapons and ammunition. His tactical ability is a targeting bullet that can lock onto enemies and hit them with the overheating debuff. This debuff causes characters to be able to shoot their weapons for a short time before the bullet damages them. It is a neat mechanic that can prevent opponents from actively taking part in a gunfight.

Ballistic in Apex Legends is also capable of carrying a total of three weapons, making him the only character who can have a 3 gun loadout. Moreover, his ultimate can boost reloading speed and provide infinite ammo for all allies that can be used to save a lot of loot during team fights.

Characters you should pair with Ballistic in Apex Legends

Here is a quick overview of some of the best duos for Ballistic in Apex Legends:

1) Rampart

Rampart is a Controller character in Apex Legends and has a passive that increases magazine size when using Light Machine Guns. The LMGs are heavy weapons and generally have a longer reload time. Ballistic's ultimate can be used to reduce the reload time and help Rampart be more active during fights while pumping out massive damage numbers.

Rampart can also place down temporary barriers which boosts outgoing damage and blocks a certain amount of incoming damage. This is a great tool when fighting in the open as the team can quickly take cover behind the barriers. Ballistic can then deploy his tactical ability to overheat enemies and reduce the amount of damage opponents can inflict for a short period.


2) Crypto

Crypto is a Recon legend and can provide positional information with his drone. The drone can be used to find the exact location of enemies which will allow Ballistic to activate his ultimate just before team fights. Moreover, Crypto's ultimate can eat away a chunk of the enemy shields and slow their movement speed — making them easy targets.

Crypto's drone is capable of scanning beacons to detect nearby enemies and also looting allied banners. He can then remotely revive the fallen members with the drone remotely without placing himself in danger. Since Crypto has an invisibility perk, he can join the fight after placing down the drone to detect enemies. Ballistic can take advantage of this and launch his tactical ability near the enemy's location to overheat their weapons.


3) Conduit

Ballistic’s job is to be aggressive and control the flow of the fight. To achieve this, he needs to put pressure on the enemies constantly, and while doing that he may get hit most of the time. To ensure his safety, we have paired Conduit with Ballistic in Apex Legends. She can easily assist him while he is engaged in a fight.

Since Conduit can easily replenish Ballistic’s shields on the go, he doesn't have to disengage while fighting. This can be quite beneficial for both, as they can constantly control the outcome of the fight by increasing their survivability.

One of the key factors that make Ballistic in Apex Legends useful in a team fight is his ultimate ability, and its versatility to be combined with the abilities of different Legends. Conduit can use her ultimate ability to zone off enemy players, and when done successfully, Ballistic can use his ability to wipe them off the battlefield.
