Guide to Mastering Rampart's Abilities in Apex Legends

Understanding Rampart's Skill Set

Rampart stands out in Apex Legends with her Controller class abilities, designed to create strategic advantages for her team. Her skills include:

• Enhanced Loader – Grants a bonus to LMGs by enlarging the magazine by 15% and speeding up reloading by 25%.
• Defensive Barrier – Places a wall that boosts the strength of outgoing shots.
  • Possesses three charges.
  • Each charge has a cooldown of 20 seconds.
  • The barrier itself has 500 HP, and the boosting screen has 250 HP.
  • Intact barriers can be retrieved by Rampart.
• Mobile Heavy Turret, „Sheila“ – A powerful, mobile minigun or stationary turret.
  • Carries a full magazine of 173 rounds.
  • Stowing the weapon retains its current ammo count.
  • If placed, Sheila has 350 HP and an unlimited ammo reserve.

Tactical High Ground with Defensive Barrier

Rampart's Defensive Barrier serves more than just protection; it can also act as a step to access elevated positions or balconies:

• Add the barrier beside walls to grant your team access to advantageous high ground quickly.
• Launch into a ‚Super Glide‘ move by using the barrier when adversaries close in.

Managing Ultimate Ability Charge

Sheila, the heavy turret, is a game-changer in firefights. To optimize its usage:

• Toggle the fire mode when Sheila is deployed to regain up to three-quarters of your ultimate charge.
• Useful for conserving ammo and preparing for subsequent encounters.

Reuse and Conserve Rampart's Barriers

To effectively employ Rampart's barriers:

• Always retrieve and relocate them to extend their lifespan.
• A destroyed barrier means a 20-second wait for a new charge; reuse to minimize cooldowns.
• Practice picking barriers quickly for smooth transitions in open terrain.

Concealing Sheila's Position

While Sheila delivers impressive firepower, her laser can betray her position:

• Be mindful of Sheila’s laser when holding angles, especially in endgame situations.
• Proper positioning of the turret minimizes exposure while maintaining its threatening presence.

Rampart's Ideal Arsenal in Apex Legends Season 20

In Apex Legends Season 20, Rampart players should prioritize certain weaponry to enhance their effectiveness in combat:

• Devotion LMG: Currently a top-tier weapon for Rampart, the Devotion's inclusion in the Gold Weapons lineup ensures a marked advantage due to its impressive firepower. Keep an eye out for this weapon, as its capabilities are unmatched in its class.
• Spitfire LMG: For consistent availability and performance, the Spitfire is the go-to heavy machine gun. Buffs in the past updates have improved its accuracy, and it can be an alternative to the L-STAR EMG for those who prefer standard ammo.
• Peacekeeper Shotgun: For close-quarters combat, the Peacekeeper shotgun is invaluable. Its firing rate is geared towards rapidly depleting enemy shields at short range, making it a reliable choice when switching from an emptied LMG.

Rampart's loadout this season is designed for sustained close combat and provides the tools needed for secure, agile engagements. When armed correctly, she can deploy Sheila's bullet-hail to dominate the battlefield efficiently.
