All perks for Loba in Apex Legends Season 24

Loba in Apex Legends Season 24 has become one of the most popularly picked Legends solely because of her versatility in-game. Currently, the game offers her access to unique perks that make her quite a great addition to any team.

Here's a more detailed look into all the perks offered for Loba:

Level 2 Upgrades

• Shopping Spree: Shopping Spree now allows you and your entire squad to draw out a total of three different items from the Black Market Boutique.
• Wolf’s Claws: Gain speed boost and significantly faster weapon draw after a teleport

Level 3 Upgrades

• Brand New Bag: When this perk is selected, the entire team is granted access to Gold-rarity backpacks in the game
• Escape Artist: Loba in Apex Legends Season 24 can regenerate 50 shield HP after teleporting with her Tactical Ability. However, if you take damage, the regeneration stops.

As evident, her perks are extremely strong, and depending on how you play the game, you can choose them to suit your needs. If you're playing in a more team-centric way, Shopping Spree and Brand New Bag are going to be the perfect upgrades for you.

However, if you are solo-queueing, and want to make the most of your kit, we believe that sticking to Wolf's Claws, and Escape Artist is going to be your best bet. The latest changes made to the entire Support roster ensure that, even though you've chosen selfish perks, you can still offer your team with massive utlity by looting their Banners upon death, and respawning them afterwards in the game.

How to use Loba in Apex Legends?

Loba's kit is pretty straightforward. Being a support Legend, you should never be the first person engaging against enemy teams in Apex Legends. When you skydive from the dropship and head near your preferred POI, use your Passive Ability to look for areas with the best loot and land accordingly.

Since you have a great tool for mobility, use it to create off angles. Use your creativity to find hard-to-reach places and be a constant hindrance against enemy players. If you're flushed out, use your Burglar's Best Friend to run close to your team.

Lastly, always use your Black Market Boutique to resupply your ammunition and get your hands on the best loot. Whenever you head into a new POI or wipe out a squad, drop down your Black Market Boutique and quickly swipe off the required items. This will ensure you don't spend all your time looting, and you can utilize it to scope out other teams.
