Unlike other Legends, Pathfinder cannot deal damage with his abilities in Apex Legends. It would be more correct to say that you cannot do this directly. However, using the abilities correctly, especially the signature Grappling Hook, you can kill even groups of opponents before they can somehow react.

It's also important to note that Pathfinder will be more rewarding when played with a team than on its own. This concerns his ultimate, which can give an advantage to teammates or even save him from a dangerous battle. And, now let's take a look at Pathfinder abilities in Apex Legends.

Insider Knowledge

Every time you scan a Care Package, you recharge your ultimate. In addition to this, you also reduce the cooldown by 10 seconds, but this can only be done four times. This way, you will be able to use the Zipline Gun much more often. But we do not recommend scanning the Care Package if your ultimate is already ready. It's better to use the ability first and then start scanning.

Grappling Hook

Pathfinder fires Grappling Hook to reach hard-to-reach places. You can fire the Hook up to 21 meters away and attach it to any solid surface or zipline. Once the Grappling Hook attaches to a surface, you will quickly be pulled towards it. If you aim to the side, you can even swing.

This is one of Pathfinder's most useful abilities, as it gives him the best mobility of any Legend. You can get to places where others cannot. Additionally, when you shoot a Grappling Hook at an enemy, you will be pulled towards each other.

Zipline Gun

Pathfinder can create a zipline up to 200 meters away. During this, you can use 3x zoom to get better aim. A special feature of this zipline is that the legends on it move 66% faster than on a regular one. In addition, there can be up to 4 such ziplines active at the same time.

However, you will not be able to use the Zipline Gun to get to a hard-to-reach place with the whole team and be helpless. The created zipline can be used by all legends, including opposing teams.

Apex Legends Pathfinder tips and tricks

Don't just move on a zipline

Since the zipline always moves in a straight line, you become an easy target for opponents, even with the increased speed. However, there is a way out, and this is a zipline jump. When moving on a zipline you can jump, thereby increasing your chances of not getting under fire. Then pressing the action button again, you will grab the zipline. This way, you can attack and avoid enemy attacks.

Use abilities often

Players who are just starting to try Pathfinder in matches often save their abilities until critical moments. However, this is only half correct. The skills of this legend have a greater impact on your mobility and the ability to take an advantageous position. In addition, the Grappling Hook cooldown takes up to 30 seconds, which is not that long, and the Zipline Gun can be recharged with one Care Package scan.

Grappling Hook is your best friend

Grappling Hook is Pathfinder's main advantage in combat over other legends in Apex Legends. Not only can you move faster, but you can also get to places others can't. Also, swinging on you will be very difficult to hit. You need to master this ability, and then you will be able to match with most of the opponents on your way.

For example, you can take an enemy by surprise by shooting him with a Hook. He won't be able to get out, but he can still attack you. So, you have to be sure that your weapon is faster and more powerful to pull off this trick.

Here's everything you need to know about Apex Legends Pathfinder. This character can offer you very varied gameplay, but for this, you will have to get used to his abilities.
