Steam edition · Researched Oct 29, 2026 · Guide updated Oct 29, 2026.

Source facts

What does choosing a Legend change in Apex Legends?

Legends have different abilities within a squad-focused shooter. Character choice adds a tactical role to the shared gunplay.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

What should a new squad agree on first?

Choose a shared approach and communicate movement intentions. A squad plan is more useful than three players independently pursuing different fights.

Based on source 1.

Our guidance

How should I evaluate an unfamiliar Legend?

Observe what their abilities contribute to your squad’s situation. Learn one deliberate use before comparing the character with a current competitive ranking.
