Apex Legends Pathfinder guide: strengths and weaknesses

Pathfinder is all about mobility. Key to his success and popularity is his Grappling Hook, which gives you a unique and versatile form of mobility and travel. There’s a great deal to learn in particular about using the Grappling Hook correctly, but once you’ve mastered it, there are few options better both for escaping and initiating fights. While his Passive leaves much to be desired, his Tactical and Ultimate both should be used as often as possible to take advantage of Pathfinder’s movement-based prowess.

Pathfinder abilities overview

Passive ability: Insider Knowledge

There are no real tips to speak of here: it’s just a nice little incentive for Pathfinder to scan Survey Beacons, and it also means that Pathfinder should be the priority when scanning Survey Beacons, as he benefits from it more than any other recon Legend.

Ultimate ability: Zipline Gun

Pathfinder’s Ultimate can provide some much-needed mobility either for yourself or for your team as a whole. Selecting it will give you the ability to aim and fire your Zipline Gun across great distances, which, as long as it connects with the terrain or a building at the end, will erect a Zipline (just like those found naturally across Apex Legends maps) between your current position and your target destination.
