+ 3Who is Apex Legends Bangalore?
Born into a lineage deeply entrenched in military service under the IMC, Bangalore epitomizes the essence of a dedicated soldier. From her upbringing within a family where service was a way of life to excelling at the IMC Military Academy, where she showcased unparalleled skills, such as dismantling and reassembling weaponry with precision, even under blindfolded conditions, she epitomized excellence.
However, her life took a drastic turn during the chaos of the Battle at Gridiron, where escape seemed an improbable feat until the IMS Hestia, employing experimental technology, narrowly evaded destruction only to crash land on the planet Gaea. Amidst the wreckage, Anita and her brother Jackson, survivors of the ordeal, endeavoured to forge a new settlement on the islands of New Antilla, igniting hopes of returning home.
Yet, fate dealt another cruel blow when the siblings found themselves aboard the ill-fated IMS Hestia II, encountering a violent assault that claimed Jackson's life as he valiantly shielded Anita from the blast. Witnessing her brother's sacrifice and subsequent loss, Anita's resolve was tested as the ship careened towards the Syndicate planet Solace, thrusting her into a desperate search for both employment and her supposedly deceased brother, anchoring her to a newfound purpose within the tumultuous confines of the games.
Amidst the chaos of the games, Anita's world was upended once more as she discovered Jackson alive, leading to a divergent existence. Reunited within the crucible of the games, Anita is determined to reconcile with her estranged brother and foster a newfound sense of belonging within her chosen family of Legends, navigating the complex dynamics of familial bonds and forging ahead toward an uncertain yet hopeful future.

Bangalore is an Assault class legend, making her a real badass in games. Her abilities are Double Time, Smoke Launcher, and Rolling Thunder. Here's a closer look:
Passive - Double Time
When under fire while sprinting, you'll experience a temporary speed boost. To be specific, it triggers when hit or when bullets or grenades barely miss you during sprinting, increasing your movement speed by roughly 30% for two seconds.
Tactical - Smoke Launcher
Throw a high-velocity smoke canister that detonates upon impact, creating a dense smoke wall. This ability has two charges and can be used twice in a row. It also takes 30 seconds. That said, it's important to note that holding the Tactical button delays the launch, and melee cancels the throw.
Ultimate - Rolling Thunder
Trigger an artillery strike that moves slowly across the landscape, similar to an airstrike. Each explosion deals 40 damage, stuns, and slows enemies for six seconds. While it doesn't harm teammates, they will still be affected by the slowing effect.

Bangalore thrives on aggression, with both her Passive and Tactical abilities offering an escape route if things take a turn for the worse. Equipping her with a shotgun or SMG like the R-99 or Peacekeeper is ideal, allowing her to eliminate enemies at close quarters swiftly. The key is to engage in close combat rapidly, leveraging her abilities to dominate encounters.
Despite her aggressive playstyle, Bangalore's kit excels at retreat as well. Her Passive and Tactical abilities facilitate evasive manoeuvres, while her Ulti can create substantial distance between herself and her enemies.
Utilise Bangalore's Smokes liberally. They offer remarkable versatility, whether it's for looting, reviving teammates, initiating attacks, or defending positions. Regularly communicate your intentions with your team, particularly regarding the use of Tactical and Ultimate abilities, which can also impact them. Effective coordination can drastically alter the outcome of encounters, maximizing Bangalore's potential.
Furthermore, Bangalore provides valuable details about the game's guns, offering commentary on weapon effectiveness and range when items are pinged. While she may become repetitive over time, she serves as an excellent learning tool for newcomers. She will be a very high-quality guide for you. Of course, as long as you don't make her angry.
