Bangalore Tactical tips: Smoke Launcher
Description: Fire a high-velocity smoke canister that explodes into a smoke wall on impact. Cooldown: 33 seconds.
The first thing to realise with Bangalore’s Tactical ability is that you have two charges with your Smoke Launcher - you can see next to your Tactical ability icon that there are two bars which indicate your current number of charges.
Each of these charges are expended and refilled independently, and with each use, you fire a grenade that explodes on impact into a large screen of smoke lasting around 20 seconds, which you cannot see through unless you are Bloodhound or you have a Digital Threat sight.

Bangalore Ultimate tips: Rolling Thunder
Description: Call in an artillery strike that slowly creeps across the landscape. Cooldown: 3 minutes.
Bangalore’s Ultimate ability allows her to throw a canister a considerable distance away from her. Where the canister lands, rockets will rain down in a zig-zag pattern across a large area, spreading out in the direction thrown. After 4 seconds, each rocket that has buried itself into the landscape will explode, stunning and dealing 40 damage to any enemy hit (or yourself).

Apex Legends Bangalore backstory
In a game full to the brim with complex backstories and motivations behind its characters, Bangalore is one of the game’s most straightforward personas. What you see is largely what you get.
Anita Williams was born into a military family, and followed that path with her and her four brothers all serving in the IMC. She excelled as a model soldier her whole life, coming top of her class at military school. To demonstrate her mastery, she is the only cadet who can take apart a Peacekeeper, equip it with a precision choke hop-up and put it back together in under twenty seconds – blindfolded. When it comes to combat and military hardware, Bangalore is as good as it gets.
