Who is Alter in Apex Legends?

Introducing Alter, the latest Legend to join Apex Legends in Season 21. Here’s a breakdown of all her abilities.

Despite introducing a variety of changes to the battle royale’s formula in Season 20, Apex Legends fans were disappointed by the absence of a new Legend.

Fulfilling that wish in Season 21 is Alter, a Legend who utilizes portals and the Void in a similar manner to Wraith. Curious about her complete kit? Here is a comprehensive breakdown of Alter’s abilities and release date in Apex Legends.

Alter’s Abilities in Apex Legends

Passive Ability – Gift from the Rift

Alter possesses a passive ability called “Gift from the Rift”which enables you to remotely loot an item from faraway deathboxes.

This feature is especially helpful if you need to switch weapons or collect an additional Shield Battery, but do not wish to engage in another battle. However, it is not possible to obtain a Shield Core for your armor from these deathboxes.

Tactical – Void Passage

Void Passage allows for the creation of portals through surfaces such as walls or the ground, eliminating the need to break through doors. This is especially useful when faced with an enemy blocking your path.

You have the ability to use Alter’s tactical in multiple ways, and it can also be combined with the abilities of other Legends to surprise and catch enemies.

Ultimate Void Nexus

Alter’s ultimate, the Void Nexus, functions by deploying a device that creates a one-way portal, similar to Ash’s ultimate ability.

The sole distinction is that your teammates can also utilize it. Upon activation, the Void Nexus will transport you back to the spot where the device was originally dropped.

While the exact mechanics of this ability remain unclear, it is possible to speculate that it operates in a similar manner to portals found in video games such as Portal or Splitgate. This suggests that Alter could potentially create a ‘tunnel’ through surfaces or objects using their tactical ability.

When will Alter be released in Apex Legends?

Alter is scheduled for release on May 7, 2024, alongside Apex Legends Season 21.

The latest season has also reintroduced Solos to the game, which was last available for players to experience in Season 2.

The developers of Broken Moon have recently added new points of interest and a Quarantine zone. Additionally, they have introduced Apex Artifacts, which are Mythic Melee Cosmetics that can be equipped on any Legend and in any mode.
