What are Seer's abilities in Apex Legneds?

Seer possesses a unique set of recon abilities in Apex Lgeneds. He can track a player's heartbeat across obstacles and, further, silence their power to use their abilities when hit by his Tactical Ability. Below is a list of all his abilities:

1. Heart Seeker (Passive): You can track the heartbeats of enemies in a small vicinity.
2. Focus of Attention (Tactical): You summon an array of micro-drones that throw out a blast through all obstacles. Any enemies detected with this ability are revealed and silenced temporarily.
3. Exhibit (Ultimate): You throw down a device that releases micro-drones in a 60-meter radius sphere. All enemies who step inside this sphere are tracked with diamond markers. It lasts 25 seconds, and the device can be destroyed by simply shooting at it.

How to use Seer in Apex Legends?

Seer has quite a high skill ceiling in Apex Legends. The difference between good and great Seer players is determined by how they use their abilities.

While his abilities provide an excellent means to track enemy players, you shouldn't always use it to ping enemy players. When you're engaging against enemy players, as you damage some of them, you should use Focus of Attention to cause havoc and tag their health and location. With the enemies silenced and slowed, use the opportunity to eliminate them with your squad.

As you traverse through the map, continuously spam your Heart Seeker Passive ability to find traces of any players in a 50-meter radius near you.

Exhibit is a great tool to use to prevent enemies from pushing you. You can use it defensively after team fights to issue quick revives and track any enemy that dares to enter the micro-drone sphere. Secondly, you can use it to flush out enemies holed up in an area. Use the ability to cause some chaos, and with their footsteps tracked, coordinate a well-thought-out attack.

All perks for Seer in Apex Legends Season 24

Seer in Apex Legends does not have a spot on the Season 24 meta. Moreover, the current update has skyrocketed the power level of the entire Assault class, diminishing the need for a Recon legend.

That said, his Level 2 upgrade will provide you with the choice to either increase the throw range of his Ultimate by 20 meters or reduce its cooldown by 20%. Both are great perks as they allow you to participate in team fights more actively.

At the Level 3 upgrade, you can either choose to increase the tactical ability range to 75 meters or gain an extra tactical charge. However, the second perk comes at a cost as it reduces the silenced time by 50%.
