Alter's abilities in Apex Legends explored

Here are all the abilities that Alter will carry in her arsenal in Apex Legends:

Void Passage

The Void Passage ability allows the new legend to create a portal directly through a surface. This will be a stationary doorway that can be used by all the players in the lobby to pass through walls and ceilings. It will act as a temporary path that can be used to enter and exit, similar to Wraith’s Ultimate ability.

It can be used as a tool for rotations or as an aggressive ability to initiate gunfights with teams seeking shelter inside houses.

Gift From The Rift

This is Alter’s passive ability, allowing her to remotely interact with a deathbox in a limited range to pull any one item. However, the item cannot be an armor. This was done to introduce preliminary balance for the new character and avoid a drastic shift in the meta. This ability acts like Loba’s Ultimate but you can get a single item from a deathbox.

The effective range of the ability is currently unknown but will surely be quite small.

Void Nexus

The Void Nexus is her ultimate ability and resembles Revenant’s pre-rework Ultimate, which created a regroup point. Alter places down a piece of Void Technology at a point that the entire squad can interact with from far away to create a phase tunnel back to the point. This ability stays in the placed location for a limited time.

This ability might also be susceptible to normal incoming damage like bullets and explosives. So it might deactivate if enemies shoot it down, limiting your ability to escape back to a safe location.

Moreover, being a Skirmisher, she can peek inside care packages and reveal the highest rarity item before it lands. This is a class-based ability and can be enjoyed by any legend in this category.

While the legend’s origins remain unknown, the official Apex Legends description states how this legend chases after world-ending events—to witness it unravel or miss it all completely. Through these experiences, she could discern that these are not random occurrences and that someone is responsible for them.

Alter’s introduction adds an interesting twist to the game’s lore and the storyline that goes on in the background. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for more updates, guides, and news.
