Apex Legends Rampart abilities

Rampart has access to three abilities:Modded Loader (Passive),Amped Cover (Tactical)andMoblie Minigun “Sheila” (Ultimate). All three of these make Rampart one of the hardiest and most fortifiable Legends on the defense. She is thus, unsurprisingly, a Defensive Legend alongsideGibraltar,Caustic, andWattson.

Each of Rampart’s abilities will be explained and discussed below. That includes the Ultimate rework that has been added partway through Season 10. If you’ve avoided Rampart, which is likely as she has historically been one of the least played Legends, now might be the time to finally pick her up and see what she can offer your team.

Rampart tips and tricks

Passive ability: Modded Loader

Description: Increased magazine capacity and faster reloads when using LMGs and the Minigun.

There’s not much to master here: it’s just a nice little boon to enjoy if you have an LMG in your hands. It’s worth noting that theL-Star EMGdoes not have traditional magazines or reloads thanks to its unique overheating mechanic. In this case, Modded Loader will increase the number of shots you can fire before the L-Star starts to overheat, and also speeds up the cooldown time before an overheated L-Star can fire again.

However, one thing to keep in mind is what LMG is currently topping the meta, and what you should look out for. Check out ourbest weapons in Apex Legends tier listfor more advice.

Ultimate ability: Mobile Minigun “Sheila”

Rampart’s Ultimate saw a big change in Season 10. Where once her ultimate was locked in place, now Rampart can run around with Sheila, giving her ultimate a little more dynamism. Mobility is key in Apex Legends, and now Rampart can get in on the action, pushing with her devastating ultimate.

Sheila comes with only one magazine of 173 bullets. Once they are gone, you can either place the turret or put it away. She can also convert any remaining bullets she doesn’t intend to use into ultimate charge depending on how much ammo is left.
