Based on all the information available so far, it seems like this new legend’s abilities will be centered around him making things go ‘boom’. The leaked abilities also match the overall vibe of Fuse. However, Respawn kept the trailer intentionally vague, so things can still change.
Fuse Abilities Revealed:
In the latest gameplay trailer released on Apex Legends’ official YouTube channel, we got first looks at Fuse’s abilities.
His first ability makes use of his mechanic arm. In the Fuse trailer, we saw Fuse lose his arm to the golden grenade. But in the mayhem trailer, we saw his severed arm replaced with a new and improved mechanical arm.
Fuse’s passive ability seems to be using his mechanical arm to throw arc stars and grenades further than any other agent.
Fuses’ Q ability shoots a stun grenade of some sort at enemies in a small radius.
His ultimate ability has Fuse pull out the massive mortar from his back and fire an explosive in the air that erupts into multiple fireballs. The fireballs form a ring of fire and prevent the escape of anyone trapped inside.
