Best Recon Class tier list for Olympus in Apex Legends Season 22

The best Recon class tier list for Olympus in Apex Legends Season 22 can help you choose the correct team composition and build effective strategies. A Recon legend is crucial as they can scout the nearby areas and provide the squad with the necessary information for map control, zone rotations, and initiating gunfights. However, some are more useful on this map than the others in the category.

Olympus is comparatively more linear than other maps because of its city-scape structure and lack of natural open grounds. This makes some aggressive playstyles possible on maps like World’s Edge, which are tricky to execute without properly clearing corners. Moreover, teams must isolate their fights to avoid being pushed by another enemy team.

This article will highlight the best recon class list for Olympus in Apex Legends Season 22.

Apex Legends Season 22: Best Recon character to use in Olympus

Here's a tier list for the best Recon legends you can pick for Olympus in Apex Legends Season 22 and score some flawless wins:

S-Tier

Crypto

Crypto received a hefty buff in Season 22 in the form of a level 2 perk which allows players to go invisible while using the drone. This ability makes it easier for players to anchor down in a spot and scan the surrounding areas without putting themselves in immediate danger. This is great for surveying late zones and seeking out enemies so the team can execute the necessary strategies for winning the match.

With the improved drone handling base kit and 30-second drone cooldown, Crypto can wreak havoc in matches with his ultimate ability and enable allies to gain an upper advantage while taking gunfights. However, Crypto’s location will be pinged on the map if enemies use scan abilities and beacons.

A-Tier

Vantage

Vantage also gained some useful buffs enabling players to relocate easily and escape dangerous situations. The developers have removed the need for a complete Line Of Sight (LOS) when flying to Echo. Even if the path is blocked by structures, Vantage can scale on the sides of obstacles as much as possible to reach Echo’s location within the applicable range.

Her ultimate ability, Sniper’s Mark, received a multiplier increase of 2.5x for the second shot - provided the first shot lands on the enemy character. Moreover, players can now gain more bullets with a single Ult Accel to make the ultimate ability more accessible during gunfights.

Valkyrie

Valkyrie was recently added to the Recon category and the devs ingrained a set of buffs to increase its pick rates. It is a great character to pick as teams gain a free ability to evacuate from different parts of the map without needing to scavenge for Evac Towers. Her passive ability to detect enemies while skydiving is an asset that can help allies position better while dropping into a new location.

Moreover, Valkyrie has a new level 3 perk which allows players to detect enemies from further away and through walls. This is a great power-up as no one on the map can hide behind cover to avoid Valk’s detection.

B-Tier

Seer

Seer is one of the evergreen legends in Apex Legends that can be used while adapting to different maps with ease. This is primarily due to his passive ability that continuously scan a nearby area without any cooldowns. The new update increased Seer’s movement speed while scanning and now makes less sound when being used. This makes it easier for players to scan near enemies and avoid giving out sound cues as much as possible.

Seer also received a new perk that allows players to get an additional tactical ability charge. Enemy health bars now stay visible on the screen for the complete silence duration of the tactical ability instead of a brief period after being hit with the scan.

Bloodhound

Bloodhound fell off the meta and did not receive any changes in the new season. It is one of the classic scanners in Apex Legends but fails to compete with others in its class after the recent buffs. It remains a solid choice for players who can execute aggressive strategies and dive into team fights as players can scan and take fights simultaneously.

Bloodhound’s ultimate ability effects (except the higher character speed) are now partially available to all Recon legends as a part of the Threat Vision feature. This means that players can take advantage of this on any map without having to lock Bloodhound every single game.
