The community of Apex Legends players is always in a constant search to improve their style of play, which is why knowing the advantages and weaknesses of each of the legends is crucial to stand out in our games within the battle royale of Respawn.
One thing we find quite curious is that when it comes to big plays, there are very few Legends that can do better than Pathfinder with his iconic Grapple Hook. The ability makes him one of the most mobile and fun characters to play on the entire roster, which explains why he currently has an 8.8% pick rate.
We should mention that despite this, since the Recon Legends update, Forward Scout’s passive has been rendered useless and Respawn has been asked by the community to address the issue for several seasons. Well, instead of waiting for the problem to be fixed, an Apex player has taken it upon himself to develop a Passive concept and its simplicity has made it extremely popular.
A Passive concept for Pathfinder gives his zip lines a huge buff
Created by Apex Legends YouTuber bobz on the R5Reloaded server, the passive is called ‘Happy Travels’ and it’s incredibly simple. The ability allows Pathfinder to use consumables like shield batteries and medkits while using zip lines.
Although this seems relatively insignificant at first, it actually gives his Ultimate a huge advantage, especially when diving into firefights using zip lines. Not only that, it’s hugely useful when using Jump Towers to escape enemies, as you’ll usually be forced to stay low on health while ascending into the air.
It’s safe to say that community reaction to the bobz concept has been overwhelmingly positive with many players praising the idea for its refreshing simplicity. This change wouldn’t push Pathfinder to the top of the meta, but it would give it an additional mechanic and a much-needed passive.
