Apex Legends Season 11: Escape is set to start November 2. The upcoming season adds a whole bunch of content to the game, including the new Storm Point map, C.A.R. SMG weapon, and playable character Ash. Ash is notably yet another legend that uses a kit inspired by the Titans in Titanfall 2--I think that's incredibly cool, and developer Respawn should continue to use Titans as the basis for upcoming Apex Legends characters. It's incredible to see Titans' massive mech-killing armaments reduced in scope to the point that they're being wielded by people.

Respawn has taken inspiration from Titanfall 2 for a good chunk of Apex Legends' playable characters, but Titans--the big walking robots you could pilot in Titanfall 2--weren't always a focus for the battle royale game's characters. When Apex Legends first launched, Respawn mostly took inspiration from Titanfall 2's human Pilots and their abilities for the playable legends. Right from the get-go, Wraith's Into the Void was based on a Pilot's Phase Shift, Pathfinder's Grappling Hook was based on Grapple, Bloodhound's Eye of the Allfather was based on Active Radar Pulse, and Mirage clocked two inspirations with his tactical and ultimate abilities pulling from Holo-Pilot and Cloak.

The remaining two Pilot abilities, Stim and A-Wall, provided the basis for Octane and Rampart's tactical abilities, respectively. But Respawn did something a bit unexpected with Rampart as well. Her ultimate ability (Emplaced Minigun "Sheila") is a Titan-inspired ability. Rampart's minigun features a slow wind-up, but once it gets going, it can spit out bullets at an incredible speed and it becomes more accurate over time. It also features a red beam laser sight, and thanks to a buff in Season 10, Rampart can lug the gun around.
