These legends are capable of placing down gadgets that can prevent or delay the enemy squads from crossing a certain border. With the release of the new map E-District, a few Controllers are more effective than the others.

Which is the best Controller legend for Apex Legends E-District?
4) Caustic
Caustic can place gas traps on doors and around corners but they are not as effective when it comes to stopping a full squad rush. The traps can be disabled or destroyed and deal a small amount of damage over time. While it is useful for blocking doors and fortifying a floor, this legend fails to maintain complete control. Players have to depend a lot on the ultimate ability to be able to defend spot and deter enemy aggression for the final zones.

Caustic’s ultimate is generally also used as an initiation ability to smoke out and deal some damage before fighting with teams already present inside cover.
3) Catalyst
Catalyst is a great pick that can fortify doors and even create strong doors in case they are broken by others with grenades and abilities. Their ability to place spike traps is another useful item that can detect enemies in a small range and deal damage to whoever decides to walk over them. The spikes also hinder the movement speed of opponents, making them easy targets.
The ultimate ability is mostly useful when players need to rotate through an open space or isolate a single team for a direct gunfight.
2) Rampart
Rampart can directly place walls which can mitigate a lot of damage and increase bullet damage when fired from behind the cover. These are great for barricading areas on the latest Apex Legends map, including buildings, and can even be used to take quick cover in open-ground gunfight scenarios. Her ultimate can now be accessed faster while also packing enough firepower to destroy enemy cover and building doors.

Players can also create multiple walls around places like stairs to eliminate some entry routes. This can help the squad to focus on ongoing gunfights and secure eliminations.
1) Wattson
Wattson can place electric fences around corners and hallways to delay and disorient enemies. These are most useful when placed around Zipline entry points in buildings or other Points Of Interest (POIs) to block enemies from pushing or trapping unsuspecting opponents. Wattson’s ultimate is another great ability, as it can destroy incoming grenades or other explosive projectiles while it regenerates shields for the squad when necessary.
In the final zones of Apex Legends, Wattson can potentially create an entire maze of fences that would continuously inflict chip damage unless destroyed or shot down by enemy teams.
It is important to note that all Controllers have received a buff that increases their total shield health by one extra cell (Red Shield is the maximum limit) whenever inside the safe zone. The devs also ingrained the ability to remotely pick up signature abilities for this entire category to make it easier to reposition.
