How to play Rampart in Apex Legends

Rampart in Apex Legends is a powerful Controller class character who can create damage-boosting shields and utilize a massive machine gun to shred enemy teams. Her ability kit has received a few buffs in the past updates. In Season 24, her ultimate ability is no longer tied to a full cooldown and can be used while it is charging up to full capacity (similar to Vantage's ultimate ability).

Rampart in Apex Legends is quite fun to use as she can deploy cover during fights to block some incoming damage while increasing the team's damage output. However, these shields can be broken with a few bullets. The learning curve for this legend can be quite steep as there are specific playstyles that suit her ability kit. But, you can pick this character if you want to play defensively while holding down areas on the map in safe zones.

This article will highlight all the abilities and perks of Rampart in Apex Legends Season 24.

Apex Legends Rampart all abilities

Rampart's abilities in Apex Legends feature a mix of defensive covers and a portable minigun, "Sheila." Below is a list of her entire kit:

Modded Loader (Passive Ability)

Rampart has increased magazine capacity for all LMG weapons and a better heat capacity for weapons like the Rampage. She can reload and recharge LMGs faster than other Legends.

Amped Cover (Tactical Ability)

She builds a half-wall that converts into a fully functional amped wall. It provides cover against enemy fire, and any bullets shot through the amped glass are damage-boosted by 20%. You can only shoot amped damage from the blue side of the glass. You get three charges of this ability, and at any given time, you can have five Amped Covers propped up in a game.

Mobile Minigun "Sheila" (Ultimate Ability)

You get your hands on a portable minigun, "Sheila." It has a magazine size of 173 rounds, and after shooting the entire magazine, you can place it on the ground as a turret to reload it. This will allow you to start refreshing your ultimate ability again.

How to use Rampart in Apex Legends?

Using Rampart in Apex Legends is pretty straightforward. Your priority will be to ensure you're making the best use of your Tactical Ability. To this end, you need to construct Amped Cover whenever you're engaging against enemies.

Whether you're aggressing onto a team or holding a defensive position, you should always focus on setting up Amped Cover for its defensive capabilities and the damage boost it provides. Rampart works best in short-medium range encounters. Use your Amped Cover to push enemy ground and close space whenever possible.

Her Ultimate Ability, "Sheila," can shred an entire squad in a matter of seconds. You can use this ability to lay down suppressive fire when enemies push you or hold down the fort to prevent enemy engagement. Either way, it works best as a defensive ability.

All perks for Rampart in Apex Legends

Rampart in Apex Legends is one of the most chaotic characters in the game. Her shields can be used as cover and even as a blocker for doors and windows. Like every other legend in the game, Rampart has access to two pairs of upgrades that unlock with EVO shield level-ups.

At Level 2, you can choose to either reduce the cooldown of your ultimate ability by 30 seconds or increase the amount of ammo you can carry in every stack. Both abilities are great as they provide you with more firepower for unexpected situations.

At the Level 3 upgrade, you can increase the handling and spin-up time of the Ultimate by 20% or make reload speed faster with the machine gun. The second perk also works when reloading behind one of her shields.
