“Try to move me; it’ll be fun.”
Shielded Fortress
Gibraltar is a gentle giant with a wild side. The son of two SARAS (Search and Rescue Association of Solace) volunteers, he has always been skilled at getting others out of dangerous situations that are common in the Outlands. However, he only began to understand the value of protecting others when he and his boyfriend stole his father’s motorcycle, took it on a joyride, and got trapped by a deadly mudslide. His parents saved them, and his father lost an arm in the process. Gibraltar has never forgotten that sacrifice and has devoted his life to helping those in need.
The Apex Games didn’t change that, but they changed what it meant. Many of Gibraltar’s friends and colleagues have competed in the Games for extra money, fame, and glory over the years, and some never came home. Gibraltar joined to keep them safe and, for the first time, his skills as a rescuer and his rebellious nature worked together. He’s now become an icon in the Apex Games, putting himself in the line of fire to protect his squad and send his opponents running for cover.
Tactical Ability: Dome of Protection
Throw down a dome-shield that blocks attacks for 15 seconds.
Think of this shield like Winston’s in Overwatch. You can plop it down and it blocks all incoming damage for 15 seconds. This is a great defensive ability, but remember that you can’t shoot outside of it. However, that doesn’t meant you can’t use it as a way to damage your enemies. You can run in and out of it firing while out and retreating to block the incoming fire.
One thing to note about this shield is that your enemies can use it for protection as well. You can’t shoot through it at all, so be careful when placing this.
Passive Ability: Gun Shield
Aiming down sights deploys a gun shield that blocks incoming fire.
This is a pretty nice passive, and will be used quite often. You very rarely don’t want to be shooting while aiming down the sights, and Gibraltar makes you even less likely to want to do that.
The shield makes Gibraltar a good option for sniping. You can take a shot and be protected from your enemies initial attempt to retaliate.
While the exact health of the shield is unknown, there’s a visual indicator on your screen when it is enabled. As you take damage to the shield, you will notice the bars start to dwindle down. Once you’ve taken too much damage the shield will break and you will need to wait for it to recharge before it becomes usable again.
Ultimate Ability: Defensive Bombardment
Call in a concentrated mortar strike on a marked position.
This is very similar to Bangalore’s ultimate in that it bombards a designated area based on what a flare was thrown. With Gibraltar’s ultimate, you throw the flare and a circle will be displayed on the ground for what the strikes will take place. A bunch of mortars will then be called down on this circular area and deal damage to any enemies caught up in it.
The bombardment lasts quite a bit of time, so if you may keep your enemies cornered into it they will take quite a bit of damage.
