Apex Legend’s new hero, Ballistic, is fighting to save his son

Apex Legends’ next, newest character is an older man: Ballistic, who in the hero-shooter battle royale is described as a “disgraced legend” from a time before the Apex Games. Now he’s back to settle some very old scores.

Ballistic is August Montgomery Brinkman. He’s 63 years old and has played in the Thunderdome Games – the predecessor of Apex Games. Ballistic, real name August Montgomery Brinkman, was unveiled in Respawn’s five-minute trailer released on Monday. Dataminers had revealed their entire season 17 plan. The new season will launch on May 9, as planned, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, Windows PCs, Xbox One and Xbox Series X.

Ballistic is a Thunderdome Games superstar. Now he’s joining the current promotion to spare his son from death in the arena. Apex Legends’ current season launched in February without a new hero, but the game did reclassify the 23 existing heroes into one of five new categories: Assault, Skirmisher, Recon, Support, and Controller. Ballistic, a Assault hero.
