Apex Legends keeps to the battle royale conventions in most ways -- 60 players drop into a large map in squads of three, search for weapons, armor and other useful items, then battle it out with other squads as a wall of death closes in. But it really shakes things up with eight different "Legends" (character classes) to choose from, each with unique abilities that let you pick your role based on your play style. 

There is Bangalore, who provides cover for her team with a smoke canister gun and has a passive ability that speeds up her movement when being shot at. Like all other characters, she charges up an Overwatch-like ultimate ability: which for Bangalore is an wide-ranging airstrike.
