Respawn has released an all-new trailer for Apex Legends Season 7 which showcases the abilities of Horizon; the next upcoming Legend who will be coming in the new season this week. Equipped with a range of gravity-centric abilities, Horizon will offer something new for players with a focus on mobility and area denial.
Apex Legends Season 7: Horizon’s Abilities
Dr. Mary Somers, a.k.a. “Horizon,” is the next Legend to come to the Apex Legends roster in Season 7. While fans have seen her in the latest episode of Stories From the Outlands, and the Season 7 announcement trailer, they hadn’t seen any of her abilities in-game until today. As the new trailer shows, Horizon’s Tactical ability is Gravity Lift, which allows her to throw down a Repulsion Star. Once set, the Star reverses gravity, sending any players on top of it upwards, as well as giving them an outwards boost when they step out of the Lift. This ability is ideal for vertical movement and traversing buildings, and can also be used to disrupt enemy players, launching them up and out of cover.
Meanwhile, Horizon’s Passive ability, Spacewalk, is another mobility-focused ability. In addition to decreasing the impact of falls, it allows Horizon greater control while in the air, making it easier to manoeuvre. While she won’t be as fast as a Legend like Octane, she might prove to be one of the most nimble. This should help her to position herself to deploy Gravity Lifts or her final ability where it will perform best.
That final ability is her Ultimate – Black Hole – which, as the name implies, creates a localised singularity. Like the Gravity Lift, players must throw out a device to generate the Black Hole; in this case, her robotic drone N.E.W.T. Once active, the Black Hole pulls all players into its central point for a short period. It does no damage itself. However, it can pull enemies out of cover and into the open, then hold them still; making them easy prey for Horizon and her squadmates.
